“Let them eat CAKE!”
Such is the image I get when watching Queen Nancy strolling down the avenue with the huge hammer in hand, laughing all the way to her elitist offices on-the-hill. “Look at all those little people protesting! Let then eat cake!”
Marie Antoinette was reputed to said the above phrase, though slightly different, of course and the ‘cake’ was not exactly the dessert variety you and I have come to be accustomed to. What the Queen is espousing is that ‘cake’ for her and her hooligans, whom are exempt from the so-called ‘laws’ they foist upon the masses, is the ‘dessert variety’, and the ‘cake’ for you and I are the ‘pot scrapings’: At the time that whoever-she-was uttered the infamous quotation “let them eat cake,” the word “cake” did not refer to the familiar dessert item that the modern-day French call le gateau. The operative term was brioche, a flour-and-water paste that was “caked” onto the interiors of the ovens and baking pans of the professional boulangers of the era. (The modern equivalent is the oil-and-flour mixture applied to non-Teflon cake pans.) At the end of the day, the baker would scrape the leavings from his pans and ovens and set them outside the door for the benefit of beggars and scavengers. Thus, the lady in question was simply giving practical, if somewhat flippant, advice to her poor subjects: If one cannot afford the bourgeois bread, he can avail himself of the poor man’s “cake.”
Well, Queen Marie likely threw women under the bus, and this will become clear in time…..what was this ‘hard fought’ victory anyway? Hard fought in her own party, the carrots and sticks were always there but the Dems had to tighten the noose on those ‘mavericks’ before dropping the carrot.
Maybe I am a little befuddled, but I cannot grasp where the ‘hard fought victory’ occurs when one has to buy off the votes of their own party. Pelosi said it truly when she stated that “We need to pass this bill so you can see what’s in it.” A more elitist and bourgeois statement was never made regards a bill the so-called ‘peoples’ representatives had on the dock. Their presumption is breathtaking. Tell me, do you send your ‘representative’ to Washington to step over into ‘Alice in Wonderland’? The fact of the matter is that congress now represents a minority of the American people and that is easy to do when you are going to lost your next election anyway.
With the liberal MSM in cahoots with Obomination and Congress one could not expect to hear any dissent until the ship begins to sink, which by then, will obviously be too late.
