Democrats may owe a debt of gratitude to Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2026/02/democrats-may-owe-debt-of-gratitude-to.html

After this weeks congressional hearings featuring Attorney General Pam Bondi, Democrats may find themselves in the unusual position of having to thank her for all of the help she is providing to them as the midterm elections approach. Her appearance, in front of the cameras, was a disgusting display of political ugliness that clearly helped the chances of Democrats in gaining control of Congress in November. Millions of dollars worth of flashy television ads and months of campaigning can not do, for Democratic candidates' election chances, what those few hours in front of the camera in Congressional hearings by Bondi did.

Starting with the obvious, Bondi just looked bad. Her face seems to be contorted into a perpetual scowl, tense, furrowed eyebrows, beady eyes sliding to the left and right, wrinkle lines that seem to push her lips together and while I'm sure they get a professional makeup job for the cameras, in her case that didn't help. Her posture is defensive, hunched, and if it is possible for the combination of facial expressions and posture to send non-verbal messages, she's telling us that she's lying.


But the critical mistake she made was her refusal to acknowledge the victims of Epstein, not even looking at them, never mentioning them and essentially behaving like a cold, heartless bitch. That's clearly something that will have some far reaching political effects ultimately benefitting Democrats in the midterms.


Democrats will also wind up getting a lot of help from Kristi Noem. Thrust from the relative obscurity of being an ineffective governor of a tiny state to the spotlight of the Department of Homeland Security, this poor, unfortunate, hopelessly ignorant, and apparently corrupt woman has been helping Democrats gain support for their midterm blue wave from the first day she ever stepped into the department.

I don’t really expect them to vote for Democrats. I just hope they get so disgusted. They stay home election day. Their deer leader has badmouthed so many ways of voting. Maybe they won’t do it.

That Republican women who get in positions of leadership make the entire gender look bad.
