It hasn't been a great few days for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. His 'leadership' of the opposition to President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill has just been one massive faceplant after another.
He tried looking tough with a baseball bat, but ended up looking like a benchwarmer on a Little League team. His nine-hour grandstanding speech trying to stop the passage of the bill was so boring, he even put his fellow Democrats to sleep. He even convinced some Republicans who were iffy on the legislation to enthusiastically vote for it.
And when he was finally done talking, House Republicans simply dismissed him and passed the bill in a matter of minutes.
To push the baseball theme one more time, there was no joy in Demville. The mighty Hakeem had struck out.
Finally, yesterday, to add insult to injury, The Daily Caller landed a finishing blow to Jeffries with an image of him on his knees, screaming on the floor of the House chamber.

To be clear, we are 99 percent sure this is an AI-generated image. Jeffries would never debase himself like that in public, would he?
Hmm, on second thought, make it 70 percent sure.
OK, fine. Let's call it 50/50.
Regardless, if the image looked familiar, one popular meme account reminded us where we had all seen it before with a brilliant mashup.

There it is! We knew we recognized that scream.
And just like that, the memes started swarming in.

They truly are toddlers throwing tantrums.

Just a sad clown without a circus.
And it wasn't just memes. There was a hilarious caption contest as well.

LOL.
It's true, though. He's not Dollar Store Obama. Not anymore. From now on, he's Temu Obama.

Technically, that's not a caption, but we'll allow it. A GIF, after all, is sometimes worth 1,000 words.

There was definitely a running theme with toddler tantrum captions.

Bonus points for accuracy on that caption.

Nice. We always love a jaunty musical number when we're drinking liberal tears.

He's no Captain Kirk. He's more like Wesley Crusher (for any Star Trek fans reading this).
But we still love it.

HAHAHA.
He probably wasn't screaming that, but if he loved America, he should have been.

There it is. That might be the most succinct, yet spot-on caption of all.
Democrats have gone so far off the reservation, their base is shrinking to the point where only AWFLs and illegals like them anymore.
Their actions, as well as election results, come with consequences.
And whether this was an AI-generated image or not, Hakeem Jeffries and his fellow Democrats better get used to a lot more screaming because we're barely even through half of President Trump's FIRST year in office.
We're not sure how many of them will manage to survive the next three and a half.
