You can call it “The hubris of high office”, the “Insolence of a long-term office holder”, or “Progressives on Parade”. Or all three at once but these two short paragraphs show that these folks have no interest in governing, they believe that you are ruled by them. And they have no problem in letting you know that, one way or another.
So Elon Musk, who makes Progressives’ heads explode simply by breathing, went to DC and met with a number of Republicans but happened to run into House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y). And that was the only Democrat he talked with while he was there.
Snubbed, SNUBBED, I say! How DARE he not talk to me and me! After all, doesn’t he report to ME?
Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., told the news outlet that Musk’s failure to meet with congressional Democrats is “seriously a mistake and I think it would be a good thing to have him come in and explain himself.”
When asked about Musk, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said: “I am deeply concerned with how he’s running that company into the ground. It seems like a vanity project that is going wrong with an explosion of hate speech on that platform.”
Well, maybe not but it’s clear that they have it in their minds, hearts, and souls that he should if he doesn’t.
I’m sorry, but the last time I remembered what I learned in elementary school, we elect people and they work for us. Here, we see Schakowsky and Schiff both with the ‘tude that’s something they never learned (or if they did, have tossed that onto the same pile as “limited government”, Federalism”, the US Constitution, and Liberty.
WHY, Jan, does Musk have to explain ANYTHING to you? He doesn’t live in Illinois, didn’t vote for you, has probably never even met you. So WHY is it, with respect to the First Amendment’s Freedom of Assembly (and conversely, not having to “assemble” with anyone you don’t want to) is it a mistake? Is she thinking she’s the female version of Don Corleone and Musk has to kiss your ring?
Hey, Adam, so WHAT if he actually runs Twitter into the ground? YOU don’t own it, the Government doesn’t own it, and it IS (along with investers) his to do with as he pleases. So if he tanks it, all that happens is that no more taxes are taken by the Fed Govt. And, like all control freaks, while he complains about “hate speech”, Musk has already rolled out stats that speech that Schiff doesn’t like (hate speech which is merely “speech Progressives don’t like, mostly from Conservatives lips).
And again, Twitter is Musk’s business. He owns it and if it IS a “vanity project”, who cares? Certainly Schiff is sticking his government nose shouldn’t belong – in a private person’s life and business.
But this is how Progressives roll – EVERYTHING should be Government’s business. And they certainly live and act as that’s true.
Up Yours! Both of you!
Oh, do you think that “totalitarian” is a word that fits their outlook?
