Bush League Republicans like Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio can’t wait to schmooze for amnesty and a permanent Democrat majority.

No worries. The American public is too stupid to be offended by accurately identifying the political class as an aristocracy.

Heck, some Dem voters love it, they WANT a royalty.

I’m telling ya that when PDJT decided there would be no more south lawn star studded booze/drug fueled fetes for celebs and media assclowns, that is when the long knives really came out. “HOW DARE YOU!”

Schmooze (n):

friendly conversation, typically one conducted in order to impress or manipulate others.

Someone who “schmoozes” politicians or their staffers, or bureaucrats would be a corruptor, a manipulator.

Could it be that a lot of people do not realize the Constitutional precipice we are teetering on?

We went off the rails of the Constitution on Usurpation Day January 20, 2009 when ALL our elected and appointed swore in an ineligible usurper.

President Trump’s election was an attempt at a restoration.

The Deep State was not going to let that happen.

“Heck, some Dem voters love it, they WANT a royalty.”

Like the ones that hoped (like Woody Allen) that Obama could become a dictator?

Deep state, aristocracy, ruling class, establishment, crony capitalists, commissars etc.: different words for same thing.

We want and need a meritocracy! Otherwise, why even try to excel, work hard, etc, if the system is rigged.

“We want and need a meritocracy!...”

You and I, and the people who use FR, we want a meritocracy. The losers and the indoctrinated that are our fellow citizens hate the idea of having to work for what you get. They want big daddy government to provide.

Yep, and for the connected political class (R and D), it is a generational thing. Their connections will help their children throughout life.

Pretty much sums up what Creepy Joe did to Tara Reade. You may have put the finger right on the schmoozing.

People don’t want a meritocracy, they want the toys with no work.
