Taylor’s Takes: Dems will do anything except the right thing
It should be clear to the world now that the Democrats will do anything to score political points, as long as it’s not the right thing.

Over the summer, President Trump ordered the National Guard to post along the streets of Washington, D.C., as a deterrent to would-be criminals.
The action was decried by Democrats as authoritarian, fascist, and dictatorial. They said all of this knowing full well that the National Guard had no mandate or jurisdiction to enforce any civil ordinances.
None of that mattered. It worked. Homicides, carjackings, muggings, and random assaults became fewer, just through the simple show of force that the National Guard provided.
The experiment worked so well that Trump set his sights on other large, Democrat-run cities to overhaul their crime rates. The mayors and governors in many of those cities and states are still putting up a fight, but it’s the wrong one. Their hatred for President Trump forced them to literally advocate against lowering the crime levels in their respective communities. A stroke of genius by Trump.
The temper tantrums thrown by these officials became so intolerable to the masses that the Democrat party had to switch tactics and fast.
But how?
Senator Chuck Schumer captained the Great Shutdown of 2025. Attention soon began to shift from the deportation of illegal aliens and the lessening of crime rates in liberal metropolises to the looming shuttering of the federal government.
Schumer galvanized the party and carried the shutdown well past the off-year elections, making sure the Republicans felt the pressure from the electorate. It was a tactic the Dems had used countless times in the past. It didn’t work this time, though.
Democrats had to cave and received absolutely nothing in return for their votes to reopen the government.
A failed shutdown, obstinate cities with needlessly high rates of crime… what else could they screw up?
The latest effort of what was supposed to be a triumph but ended as a flop was the selective release of emails between Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators.
The vague, contextless messages between Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and author Michael Wolff beg so many more questions than they provide answers.
The Dems were so deceptive about the release, they needlessly redacted the name of the late Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein victim who had made her story public and was fighting for the release of more information before her untimely passing earlier this year.
The reason they redacted her name is that it exonerated Trump when they wanted to make him look bad. The shady emails referencing Trump could be interpreted as Epstein recognizing him as being a loyal friend, keeping his mouth shut while seemingly everyone else in his circle was spilling their guts to the feds.
The problem is that Giuffre’s 2016 deposition she testified that she never saw Trump take part in any of the sordid activities she knew were taking place, and further stated that he hadn’t even flirted with her during any of their encounters, whether she was with Epstein or in Trump’s employ at Mar-a-Lago.
Thankfully, Republicans released their own document dump, clarifying that it was Giuffre who was mentioned in one of the emails released by the Dems. And the GOP-released emails served to show that Epstein was patient zero for Trump Derangement Syndrome, as he reached out to numerous people seeking advice on how to enact revenge on the man who refused to join his circle of perverts.
Once again, Democrats have egg on their faces.
They keep trying to score political points, either by feigning a stance against Trump or smearing him, and they don’t care who gets hurt by doing it. Whether it’s you, the everyday American, or the now-deceased survivor of a high-profile sex slave operation.
And they continue to dig deeper. Whenever they fail to “get Trump,” they’re forced to find another way to score political points. I don’t know what the next one will be. Perhaps another Russia, Russia, Russia, where the perceived scandal is made up out of whole cloth.
“What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.”
