      XPost: alt.politics.republicans, talk.politics.guns, alt.politics.trump       XPost: sac.politics, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       From: nospam@comcast.net              Democrats do not have access to the levers of power at the moment, and       they are losing their minds.              With very little recourse to the rapid gains being made by the Trump       administration, about 30 or 40 Democratic members of Congress made a       desperate attempt to enter the Department of Education headquarters on       Friday afternoon, according to a report from Axios.              The lawmakers were trying to meet with Acting Education Secretary Denise       Carter, but their efforts were thwarted by a lone security guard who       prevented their entrance into the building.              This is apparently the fourth time they have been blocked access to a       federal agency headquarters, according to Axios.              But the embarrassment of that fact was compounded as footage of them       accosting the lone security staffer went viral on social media.              California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters screeched in the face of the       employee, who responded by standing with his arms crossed, avoiding eye       contact, and responding with curt answers.              “Look them in the eye. C’mon. Pull your face up. Look at ‘em. Let ‘em       see you. This is him! Look at him. What’s your name? Tell us your name.       Give me than ID,” Waters croned.              Rapid Response 47              @RapidResponse47       ·       Follow       Maxine Waters (D) is currently accosting random federal employees       outside the Department of Education              https://twitter.com/i/status/1887886607044186355              At one point in the video, the employee rolled his eyes, threw his hands       in the air, and audibly groaned, clearly annoyed at the cringeworthy       badgering of the leading Democrats.              Florida Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost also took a turn pestering the       employee.              “Are you making this decision to stand in front of this door on your own       behalf, on behalf of the Department of Education, or were you told to       come out here and block members of Congress?” he asked.              The employee muttered that he was just “doing my job.”                     Benny Johnson              @bennyjohnson       ·       Follow       🚨BREAKING: Rep. Maxine Waters and other Democrat Congress members are       staging an insurrection at the Dept of Education over Trump and Elon       Musk, but they’re getting the door slammed in their faces.              https://twitter.com/i/status/1887885463874044023              Americans can deeply relate to this unnamed hero.              They are used to being lectured and accosted by the left, who only see       us as obstacles in the way of what they actually want, namely access to       power and influence.              But in a sense, beyond serving as the latest cringeworthy embarrassment       for the Democrats, this viral moment actually shows how the tables have       turned in this country.              The federal employee had a chance to treat the Democrats how they       usually treat us by simply tuning out their cares and concerns.              In other words, the Democrats went to the Department of Education, and       they left with a valuable lesson: that the American people are fed up,       and that the left’s days in political power are officially over.              https://www.westernjournal.com/watching-guard-treat-dem-lawmaker       -way-treat-us-best-thing-see-today/              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
