Our Self-Important, Self-Deluding, Self-Unaware ‘Elites’
American Thinker ^ | 7 Feb, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 02/07/2025 5:10:57 AM PST by MtnClimber

When an FBI guy and a media guy cry together on live TV about the possible elimination of the IRS, we’ve reached new heights of elite stupidity.

Our self-appointed “ruling class” is insufferable. Two-plus weeks into the restored Trump administration, and the Democrat/media outrage template has become utterly banal:

(1) Trump delivers on a campaign promise.

(2) Democrats collapse onto fainting couches and wail, “He can’t do that!,” and then

(3) those same sobbing sad sacks get back up, clutch their pearls, and collapse in anguish yet again.

It would be amusing if their funerary pantomime were not so exhausting.

Unindicted “Russia collusion” co-conspirator and former acting director of the FBI Andrew McCabe ran to the Communist News Network to complain that all his old friends at the Bureau are terrified of being fired. He reported to fellow Democrat traveler Anderson Cooper that FBI officials are worried about how they’re going to pay their bills and take care of their families. “If you get fired,” McCabe explained energetically, like one toddler telling another toddler about the world, “you’re done. That’s the end of your reputation, your ability to get any job. You lose your pay, you lose your chance at a pension, you lose your health insurance.” Baby Cooper agreed with Baby McCabe that those consequences sound scary.

Yet neither had the requisite self-awareness to ponder, “Is this what J6 protesters felt like when the Gestapo FBI hunted down alleged trespassers as if they were America’s ‘Most Wanted’ criminals?” Watching the two Democrat babies cry about FBI agents losing their jobs and reputations after we have seen the Bureau do the exact same thing to law-abiding Americans for years is absolutely surreal!

Imagine that - a politician who actually does what he said he was going to do. Trump is a man of his word. On the other hand Democrats lie at every opportunity.

We finally have a Republican president that understands, “the best defense is continuous relentless offense”. Politics is war with rules

“If you get fired,” McCabe explained energetically, like one toddler telling another toddler about the world, “you’re done. That’s the end of your reputation, your ability to get any job.

McCabe seems to understand what a sick joke today's job hunting process is.

During his entire campaign, Trump spelled out very clearly just what his objectives would be.

The Trump supporters listened. Liberals were NOT listening! So if they feel that they have been blindsided, that is their own fault. Did they never (even ONCE) ask themselves ‘How does he fill stadiums like that??’

Think of that buffoon Clooney and know he's going to forever BE the emblem of smug, Liberal conceit and ignorance! They hear but NEVER listen. If they want to insist that they were listening, then it can only be an admission of abject stupidity! What else explains how they got blindsided!!

They can’t see what their problem is because they’re too close to it.

TDS 2.0 is setting in and it appears the only cure is crying, painting stupid kindergarten level signs, and throwing tantrums in the streets. Mad Maxine Waters expanding the size of her big mouth, Al “da pimp” Green swinging his golden handled pimp cane while Chucky Shoemeyer is doing his greatest Pee Wee Herman imitations for his “Fighting in da Streets” Walkers.
