In a tale that could rival a low-budget western flick, a motley crew of political figures finds themselves in the center of a showdown nobody asked for. With a cast that includes none other than the floundering President Biden, the controversy-magnet Congressman George Santos, and New Jersey’s own Senator Bob Menendez, it seems the Democratic establishment has all the ingredients for a real-life comedy—although America might not be laughing.
President Biden, famously known for his aimless wandering from one gaffe to another, can now add another misstep to his long list. While the nation faces pressing issues—from skyrocketing inflation to border chaos—Biden’s focus appears to be as misplaced as ever. Instead of addressing the crumbling economy or the urgency of crime in major cities, he busies himself with buddying up to the likes of Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, as they navigate the wild world of urban mismanagement together.

Meanwhile, George Santos continues to play the role of the “what-will-he-do-next” congressman from New York. His ever-evolving narrative should earn him an Oscar for best performance in a political comedy, as each day seems to bring a new revelation or fabrication. Santos may just be the most entertaining figure in politics today, but America is still waiting for him to deliver on more than just theatrical antics.
Senator Menendez, on the other hand, hasn’t had it easy either. Facing his own barrage of legal troubles, he embodies the phrase “you can’t make this stuff up.” It’s almost as if every state has its own political circus, with Menendez acting as the ringleader of corruption—fitting right into a Democrat playbook that seems to tolerate ill deeds under the banner of “progressive values.”
And just when you thought it couldn’t get more chaotic, rumors of “bad men” running Chicago take center stage. With crime rates climbing higher than a rodeo cowboy on a bucking bronco, the city’s leadership—both past and present—leaves a lot to be desired. The land of deep-dish pizza and the blues has become synonymous with lawlessness, where the only thing more prevalent than crime is excuses from political leaders who refuse to take responsibility.
In this unique blend of political faux pas and rampant corruption, one can’t help but wonder how low the bar can go. The Democratic Party provides more entertainment than a summer blockbuster, but while the laughter is plentiful, the consequences for everyday Americans are far from funny.
