MSNBC: Pity the Poor, DOGE-Displaced Federal Employee

MSNBC wound down its A-team portion of their coverage of President Trump’s address before a joint session of Congress with a bemoaning of displaced federal workers. This display was unlike any other, and revealed quite a bit about MSNBC and our progressive commentariat.
Watch as the panel reacts to the now-former government employees, who were interviewed by correspondent Jacob Soboroff:

JACOB SOBOROFF: It’s- it really is a profound honor to have spent this time with you guys. And again, I just want to say, for me personally and behalf- on behalf of, I’m sure, so many people that are watching, I’m really sorry about the situation that you guys are in and really wishing you guys all the best. Thank you guys very much. Steph, back over to you.
STEPHANIE RUHLE: Jacob, thank you so much. What an impressive group of people. And just juxtapose that with the way both the president and Elon Musk talk in such derogatory terms about just the general federal government workforce.
RACHEL MADDOW: Also, just like, what- just what an impressive group of people.
RUHLE: Full stop.
MADDOW: I mean, from all the different places I’ve ever worked in my life, like having a group of four colleagues that was that impressive and credentialed and articulate. It would.
RUHLE: By the way…
(CROSSTALK)
MADDOW: It would be almost like working here.
RUHLE: Can we just point out all four of those people with their expertise could make more money in the private sector, and have chosen not to.
MADDOW: Yeah, well they- and they’ve just been insulted and told that their low productivity, all right? It’s just- it’s insane.
PSAKI: I also- I mean, I live in the DC area. Everybody thinks that every federal worker is in the DC area. 80% of federal workers are outside of the DC area. And this is, I think, something people in the country are learning that these are your postal workers. These are the people who are working at FBI offices who are keeping your community safe. They’re the FAA workers who are making sure you can fly safely on the airlines. There are people who are working at the VA. It is not a bunch of “I love government” bureaucrats, but it’s not a bunch of government bureaucrats. It is a bunch of people working in communities, and I think people are hopefully learning that but that’s an important part of this to understand.
Where were these people when thousands upon thousands of energy workers were laid off as a result of Biden Day One energy policies? Probably cackling and uttering “learn to code” or “learn to hang solar panels”. In the case of Jen Psaki, she practically said as much from the White House podium when she served as Biden’s press secretary. 
But that was then. Now, there is open lamentation for displaced members of the still-sprawling federal bureaucracy. Over the past days and weeks, we’ve chronicled several instances of the “legacy” media’s showcasing of fired federal employees as victims, a courtesy never accorded to the energy sector.
The vibe is outright funereal. From Soboroff telling the employees what an honor it was to interview them, to Psaki at the end, EVERYONE gushed over the former bureaucrats. You’d think they were interviewing firefighters or something, but no. 
The entire segment, and the coverage of DOGE-related firings preceding, lends credence to the theory that the Democrats’ sloganeering of “our democracy” makes a lot more sense when you swap out “democracy” with bureaucracy”.
 

America’s litigious society

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – America’s growing reliance on lawsuits has turned it into an extremely litigious society, where judges wield excessive power over the law. When courts overstep their bounds and federal officials violate their oaths without accountability, the foundation of a Constitutional Republic is at risk. Without checks on judicial overreach, are we truly governed by laws or by unelected opinions?

Raging MSNBC Karens CRASH OUT Over Love for D.J. at Joint Address

The initial reaction to President Donald Trump’s Joint Address to Congress at MSNBC centered around outrage at the fact that Trump would dare to honor D.J. Daniel, the 13-year-old pediatric cancer patient who was deputized as a honorary Secret Service agent. Their bilious reaction to that heartwarming moment is the truest indicator of how the night really went for them.
Here’s Rachel Maddow, blasting the D.J. moment in her opening analysis of the joint address:

RACHEL MADDOW: For the record, and this is disgusting, the president made a spectacle out of praising a young man who thus far survived pediatric cancer, as if the president had something to do with that. This was in the midst of him praising doge. The doge cuts, among other things, have cut off funding for ongoing research into pediatric cancer.
Watching Maddow’s brief but unhinged take can lead reasonable individuals to speculate as to the quantities of box wine and antidepressants circulating around the MSNBC studio. Otherwise, there is no making sense of Maddow’s determination that Trump ever claimed having anything to do with young D.J. ‘s survival. There is nothing in Trump’s remarks that would lead anyone to that conclusion.
It is likelier that Maddow was simply bitter at the heartwarming moment where D.J. was made an honorary member of the United States Secret Service, particularly his embrace with Secret Service Director Sean Curran. 
Nicolle Wallace’s reaction was just as bilious, forcibly linking the D.J. moment to…January 6th.

NICOLLE WALLACE: But I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that- that you let yourself feel. And I let myself feel joy about D.J. And I hope he’s alive for another, you know, 95 years. Right? And I hope he lives the life he wants to live. He wants to be a cop. He knows what he wants to do. And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you, and I hope he has a long life as- as a law enforcement officer, but I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters. And if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn’t one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then live to see Donald Trump pardon those people.
There is no floor for this collection of angry Karens at MSNBC. It is unfortunate that Wallace felt she needed to allow herself to “feel” the D.J. moment, only to then vomit the rest of her nonsense out. But it is a reflection of the extent to which the angry Karens at MSNBC have allowed politics to creep into everything.
Reasonable people looked at the D.J. moments- first, his Secret Service moment and then his high-fiving of the son of a fallen law enforcement officer who was accepted into West Point, and find joy. MSNBC can look at those same moments and reveal themselves as the bitter partisans they are.
