They break everything on their way out.
After the inauguration of President George W. Bush on January 20, 2001, many new White House aides excitedly showed up for work the next day only to find their office spaces vandalized and trashed. Phone cords were ripped from walls. Bathrooms were littered and disgusting. Mirrors were broken. Chair backs were missing. Desk drawers were covered in glue. Desk locks were destroyed. The “W” keys were removed from computer keyboards. This was the Democrats’ idea of a “peaceful transfer of power.”
Oh, President Clinton’s staffers had their reasons. After Vice President Al Gore decided to renege on his election night concession to President-Elect Bush, he created the conditions for irreparable national division. Gore sought to litigate the election before sympathetic judges who might allow him to include disputed votes only from Democrat strongholds in the battleground state of Florida. Eventually, the Supreme Court stepped in and shattered Democrats’ hopes of overturning the 2000 election with selective recounts (a strategy that has subsequently proved more successful). Ironically, American voters had not been particularly enthusiastic about either Bush or Gore before the election, but the month-long electoral chaos produced rank bitterness that endures to this day. (A reasonable person might wonder, then, why so little has been done in the following quarter-century to shore up public faith in election outcomes.)
So the outgoing employees of the Clinton-Gore White House were not happy about having tasted judicially delivered victory only to see triumph slip away on December 13. Because their feelings were hurt, they behaved petulantly. They recorded obscene voicemails for their Republican replacements, graffitied the West Wing with images of President Bush as a chimpanzee, and filled desk drawers and filing cabinets with vulgar notes — including “GET OUT,” “Hail to the thief,”

“The “W” keys were removed from computer keyboards.”
Sorry, but that was FUNNIER THAN HELL, which is very, very, rare for Democrats. Conservatives need to LIGHTEN UP a bit, and if necessary, fork out the $10 on a keyboard...the world won’t end.

Perhaps all federal workers should wear body cams so that we can always check on what they are doing — whether it is vandalizing federal offices, taking bribes, or “working from home”.
If they don’t stop all of this, there will eventually be a civil war. The next civil war will be absolutely horrific and will result in the nation being conquered by an enemy (Mexico or China) and ruled ruthlessly.
I’m a low-end landlord...and, yes, this is directly related. When truly low class, some would say “trailer trash” people are evicted, they trash the place. Now, they’ve lived there free of rent, due to nonpayment, for anywhere from three to six months. But they reveal how truly low class they are by smashing wall board, doors, windows, and my all-time favorite, they’ll often throw a couple of shotgun shells into their fire pit presumably in the hopes of injuring someone who lights a fire. (I always clean the fire pits because before the trash pickup was part of the taxes people would burn their trash. So far, I’ve always found the shells before anyone got hurt.) As a side note, I’d judge from the bumper stickers that all of these people were Democrats.
My conclusion, you can take Democrat out of the trailer with sufficient education, but you can’t take the trailer trash out of the Democrat.
It is way beyond removing keys from a keyboard. It is the hateful attitude behind such actions.
Charge them with a federal crime. Prison and no less. Oh, after bankrupting them with attorney fees and court costs. Make them pay for their own housing, food and medical while incarcerated.
True, for you and me. But for the government, they probably charged the American taxpayer $400 per keyboard replaced. That wasn't so funny.
Let American voters see what they've done.
What is described here is just how democrats are. They and their media are cheesy and cheap but pretend to be morally and intellectually superior.
Their behavior is closer to the people who they film on “Cops”.
Correct. No value system and rotten attitudes. Saw it when I taught high school. What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine.
Very good comments/ideas BUMP!
” fork out the $10 on a keyboard...the world won’t end.”
It wasn’t ONE $10 keyboard; it was basically ALL the keyboards. More than $10 total. And the assholes destroyed public property — stuff WE paid for — because they’re evil CHILDREN. They need to grow the hell up and be respectful of other people’s propery.
“ Sorry, but that was FUNNIER THAN HELL,”
Farting in the bathtub or peeing in the hot tub is funny too, but childish and far beneath the dignity of the office of the President.
One of my favorite all-time pictures. I have both frames at very high resolution stashed away somewhere.
That’s just it, the W keyboard thing wasn’t done as a joke to be funny, it was done out of spiteful hatred and meanness.
