Ben Rhodes Election Night Shock Clip From HBO Becomes Internet Comedy Meme

Most of HBO's documentary The Final Year features members of former President Barack Obama's foreign policy team in 2016 oozing extreme hubris over how wonderful they thought they were. That came to an abrupt halt on Election Night when Donald Trump knocked them off their perches by winning the presidency. None was more shocked than Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes (although United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power came close). 

A clip from the documentary shows a devastated Rhodes sitting outdoors after discovering his liberal world has been shattered. His shock is so extreme that he is actually struck dumb and is unable to form any coherent words. It was a sharp contrast to his smug certainty of Hillary Clinton's victory expressed several times during the documentary.

It IS pretty funny.

I love this stuff. Some might think it juvenile but it's one of the major reasons our side is winning. Out in the bigger social media places like Twitter and Reddit, the prevailing opinion is that the left can't meme. When they do try, they usually end up sounding bitter, hateful and overly mean. This is because they find it very hard to laugh at themselves - which is crucial to good meming. For example, the best Trump memes from our side not only acknowledge the criticisms of him (Trump) from the left but we celebrate those "faults" of Trump and turn it right back around on them. They just can't handle that and they are usually rendered speechless or reduced to sputtering.

On top of that, they are also hamstrung by political correctness which means they can never loosen up and be truly funny (out of fear of offending some tiny sub-group of their base).

It wasn't always this way. The earlier episodes of Saturday Night Live hearken back to a time when liberals could actually be funny. But go back and watch some of those skits from the 80s and 90s and then imagine them running today. They would have to take themselves off the air!

If we punished everyone responsible for the Kenyanesian Usurpation it would empty out the District of Corruption.

Democrat ‘elites’ - - more money than brains snowflakes.

What gets me is these people I guess had NO clue that they could possibly lose this election?

Freeper LS had an inside source in the Trump campaign telling him that the Trump's internal polling had Trump winning this Monday before the election.

Dont you just love reading about the Obama/Hillary suck-ups struck dumb on election night?

A clip from the HBO docu/lie "The Final (Obama) Years (thank God)" shows a devastated Ben Rhodes discovering his liberal world has been shattered. His shock is so extreme that he is actually struck dumb and is unable to form any coherent words. It was a sharp contrast to his smug certainty of Hillary Clinton's victory expressed several times during the documentary. Most of the HBO docu/fraud features Obama's foreign policy team oozing extreme hubris over how wonderful they thought they were. That came to an abrupt halt on Election Night when Donald Trump knocked them off their perches.

=====================================

POINTS THAT GET YOU A NICE WARM FEELING INSIDE

<><>The Hillary inner sanctum had already chosen their federal sinecures and bailiwicks...they planned to cash huge US govt checks, and do nothing but suck-up to Hillary 24/7.

<><> the jerks left criminal evidence casually strewn bout b/c "Trump would NEVER be president."

<><> Comey had no compunction helping Obama use US intel to spy on Americans.

====================================

All of it explains the goofy, OMG! look on the Halfrican's face when he met Pres-elect Trump.

All the dirt Hillary was expected to sweep under the rug, was now in the hands of the man Obama tried to destroy.

I watched it many times. It is so .... affirming!

Imagine if a guy like this is at his job. In a period of an hour or maybe two hours, 1,000 or 2,000 Americans are killed. How would he handle THAT situation? I don’t have to imagine how people like Rhodes would deal with 4 Americans getting killed in Libya. The #1 priority, CYA.

On election night, we found the BOUNCE was gone completely from the CABAL’s BALLS.

THANK GOD FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP!
BLESS YOU, SIR.
Not often do we see this type shedding tears.
What a sight it was.

Miracles do happen!

[Liz]

Ben Rhodes and friends learn Trump won.

[Rurudyne]

Cue Nelson Muntz: “Ha hah!”

Trump is an expert at reading people when he first meets them. I wonder what Trump thought meeting Obama the first time?

[KavMan]

This was the best part of the Documentary!

[Liz]

What did Donald think of Obama at that first meeting?

Not much.

Obama’s face tells it all.

The Hitler rants generator used to be open access but a while back it was password protected. Haven’t seen any new ones of late.

The Hillary inner sanctum had already chosen their federal sinecures and bailiwicks...

the jerks left criminal evidence casually strewn about b/c "Trump would NEVER be president."

Comey had no compunction helping Obama use US intel to spy on Americans.

YES Liz, we're gonna 'get' the criminals... and yeah I love reading about the Obama/Hillary suck-ups struck dumb on election night...

[KarlInOhio]

OMG! The Youtube over video ad that popped up right when Hillary appeared was for high performance servers. That just made my day.

When totalitarian thugs lose power ... Like Hitler in his bunker.

Hitler at least had the "decency" to then put a bullet through his head.
