Some people are stupid, some people are ignorant, and other people are Democrats. Democrats are an ever-changing combination of the two, and there are few things as dangerous as someone who is an ignorant idiot who is also arrogant. Democrats aren’t interested in what they don’t know, do not think there is anything they are not an expert on, and aren’t interested in being educated on what they don’t understand because they refuse to accept the concept that there could be anything they do not. It leads to a group of people who are dangerously broken and hell-bent on inflicting damage on Americans who will not obey them and the country we love.
Ro Khanna, the anti-American “progressive” leftist Congressman from California, is a prime example of the ignorance side of the ledger. While seeming like a perfectly nice guy personally, it is important to remember that totalitarianism always comes with a smile. Seriously, search whatever monster comes to mind – Mao, Stalin, Kim – and you will find plenty of pictures of them grinning from ear to ear. It’s not by accident, the image overrides the awful.
Khanna, more of an affable goof, tweeted out recently, “Trump's threat to ban migration from ‘third world countries,’ an outdated term, is returning to a pre-1965 America where immigration from nations like India was several restricted. My parents would not have been welcome. His threat to revoke citizenship to those he views a ‘non-compatible’ after how hard immigrants from places like Mexico, El Salvador, & Guatemala have worked to earn citizenship is callous & frightening. What may be a casual rant on social media by the President is devastating to millions of hard-working, law-abiding immigrant families. They are reaching out scared. This is not the time for politicians to cave. I am sick of politicians demonizing immigrants and voting for things like the Laken Reilly Act that deprive immigrants of basic rights. We must stand up for the contributions immigrants make to America.”
Sorry for your loss, Ro, but if you really want to be outraged, wait till you hear what Laken Reilly was deprived of by an illegal alien…
First off, it’s “an outdated term” to say third world? There’s another word that starts with “r” that is even more “outdated” that absolutely applies to people like Ro.
It is impossible for illegal aliens to be “law-abiding,” as their existence in this country is law-breaking. But this is the idiocy we’re dealing with and the dishonesty of Democrats. They choose the terms and the meaning of those terms to benefit themselves exclusively.
This is how Democrats operate. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, a politician whose resting face gives the impression that her inner monologue is “duh,” recently celebrated the “first house rebuilt” in the Palisades after last January’s wild fires. Forget the fact that those fires were set by a leftist lunatic and exacerbated by the incompetence of local Democrats who allowed water reserves and fire hydrants to dry out, and think about the fact that it is almost a whole year later and only one “house” has been rebuilt.
How is that even possible?
The answer is simple: Democrats.
But the question is even more hilarious, once you get past the headline and realize the “house” is a construction company’s model home and no one is going to live in it. It’s a possible design for others, should they manage to navigate the mess that is LA and California’s permitting process. It’s like cooking a steak in front of a starving family, then throwing it away.
Mayor Bass, who originally touted the completion of the model home on social media as if it were an accomplishment, deleted the post after real victims of the fire complained, and it was learned the construction company had been in the process of building the home before the fires. Politico reported, “A homebuilding company, Thomas James Homes, owns the parcel. Before the fire, it sought permits to bulldoze the vacant home on the site and build a new one. The fire took care of the demolition. The new house isn’t planned as a place to live, but rather will serve as a model property for what the company could build for Palisades residents who’d lost their homes.”
The Mayor heighted the one construction project in the city that actually benefited from the fires. You can’t make this stuff up.
What the hell is wrong with these people? By that, I don’t just mean the politicians; I mean the people who vote for them. How did such a large concentration of human beings become so collectively ignorant and arrogant? I don’t care if they inflict their idiocy on themselves – I’d pull out a bag of popcorn and enjoy the show, if that were the case – it’s that they want to use the power of government to make sure everyone else suffers along with them.
