To rework a line from the movie “When Harry Met Sally,” I DON’T want to have they’re having. What they’re drinking. What they’re mainlining.
They in this case are the delusional politicians, their leftist acolytes in the LameStream media, and all the other mostly moronic types who are on President Trump regarding everything and anything.
For those who have not watched the movie referenced above, the Sally character loudly fakes an orgasm in a crowded restaurant, just to prove a point to her male escort, and a woman seated nearby then orders what she’s having.
It’s hard not to think of this sort of overdone histrionics as the leftist crowd gets the vapors over feds actually enforcing the law on immigration, pardons being issued, having Trump put forth people for his cabinet who are willing to call out the ills of our time, or basically anything else Trump does or says.
Any time I see a clip from cabinet prospects being grilled, mostly by assorted screwball leftists regarding ridiculous minutia, or baseless accusations, I want to vomit.
We are left with two possible explanations. Either these interrogators are so vacuous, so totally devoid of intelligent thought, that they actually believe the half-truths and talking points they are advancing, or else they are flat-out spreading lies and disinformation.
There are no other rational explanations.
And then there are the media types, similarly stuck on small details and playing gotcha when the big picture is the important aspect as we try to halt the nation’s decline.
It’s evident these people all got their talking points from the same source. You can forgive the Democrat politicians, they are acting in the brain-dead lockstep their party demands. They dream that some day they might advance to trading stocks as well as Nancy Pelosi, if only they can bite their tongues and toe the line long enough.
But what about the media? If only for reasons of self-interest, they should be getting the message that their far-left agenda, praising all things WOKE and ridiculing traditional American values, has them out of step with their desired audiences.
The nation’s voters repudiated this mentality in the most recent election. The response of left-wing media has been to double down.
And their ratings plummet into the zone of irrelevance, leaving leftist outposts such as CNN and NBC to contemplate layoffs and shifting their unrepentant progressive “talent” into obscure time slots, the better to hide them from the public.
If you’ve been paying attention, you no doubt have heard Trump’s leftist critics flay him for his lack of progress on campaign promises. He has, after all, been in office a few days now, they seem to say, neatly exhibiting amnesia over Clueless Joe Biden spending four years doing little, other than to stoke the fires of inflation, throw monkey wrenches into the machines of public and private enterprise, and then add even more nonsensical dictates as he was being shown the door.
All that was acceptable. But Trump, damn it, has been in office about 72 hours as I write this and he has yet to end wars, cure cancer, wipe out hunger and poverty and lift the entire population into middle-class or above affluence.
These laments come from some media types who do one show a week, from politicians who think working maybe 150 days a year is a brutal workload, from bureaucrats whining about being told to start coming to the office again to work.
It was bitter irony recently when some of those government employees were floating the idea of four days, 32 hours, henceforth constituting a work week. When you’re working from home and I’m sure spending a lot of time leaning on the oars (I know some people, not necessarily government employees, who have done this), do you really need to have such a reduction in hours worked?
Or, put another way, will you start wearing a mask when you check to confirm your direct-deposit pay? That’s what thieves do.
The saving grace of all this is that, so far, I believe the unhinged rants by leftists in politics and the media are being largely ignored by the masses.
Keep the faith, people. It can’t all be accomplished yesterday. But Trump and his administration have hit the ground running and I am optimistic they have a mindset to continue their pace.
The schadenfreude of watching these hapless leftists disappearing even further into irrelevance is priceless.
