DNC Snowflakes Melt Down Over Having to Actually Show Up to Work: 'Get Yourselves Together'

Oh, the humanity! Democratic National Committee staffers are throwing the mother of all hissy fits after their overlords yanked the remote work blanket away, forcing these delicate flowers back into the office five days a week. Because nothing says "fighting for democracy" like Zooming in from your couch in sweatpants while the country burns.

It all kicked off when DNC Chairman Ken Martin dropped the bomb on a staff call, announcing the end of the pandemic-era "flexibility" that apparently turned the party's headquarters into a ghost town. The union repping these whiners fired off a statement calling the move "callous," and insiders spilled that the chat erupted in a storm of thumbs-down emojis and virtual pitchforks. "It was shocking to see the DNC chair disregard staff's valid concerns on today's team call," the union whined. "D.N.C. staff worked extremely hard to support historic wins for Democrats up and down the ballot last Tuesday, and this change feels especially callous considering the current economic conditions created by the Trump administration."  

Martin, bless his no-nonsense heart, didn't mince words: If you hate it that much, pack your artisanal lattes and go find a job elsewhere.  These are the same geniuses who thought "historic wins" meant losing the White House, Congress, and their dignity in one fell swoop.

Even fellow Dems are piling on like it's an intervention. Top ex-Biden whisperer Neera Tanden, who knows a thing or two about White House drama, lit into the complainers on X: "If you think democracy is on the line, working in the office is not a big ask," she wrote. "And there are plenty of other people willing to step up. Get yourselves together people." Ouch. Tanden's basically saying, "Step aside, Karens, real patriots are lining up to grind."

The Center for New Liberalism, that bastion of progressive tough love, chimed in with a reality check: "When you accept a job on a campaign, or with an org like the DNC, DCCC, etc, your single purpose is to win the election. It is a demanding job that requires long hours & sacrifices," they posted on X. "The other part of this is that I suspect [work from home] staff are probably losing opportunities for themselves by not being in the office. Campaigns require a lot of personal sacrifice, but the people who are good at their job and work to make themselves noticed in the office usually tend to go on to do big things!" Translation: Stay home forever, and you'll peak at mid-level meme lord.

Ken Martin, not Pete Buttigieg

Florida Dem strategist Steve Schale, who actually knows winning (he ran Obama's Sunshine State ops in '08 and '12), suggested a litmus test: "There should be a requirement that to work at the DNC that you’ve done at least two cycles on an actual battleground campaign, where terms like flex hours & hybrid work don’t exist," he tweeted. In other words, grow a spine or get out—battleground boot camp ain't for the faint of heart.

And don't think the GOP missed the popcorn-worthy spectacle. Ex-Trump press secretary Sean Spicer marveled, "You can't make this up -- the DNC union is pissed that the Chairman is calling staff back into the office 5 days a week." GOP wordsmith Matt Gorman couldn't resist: The image of these pajama partisans dialing into Biden re-election doom-scrolls from bed "is hilarious." And national press gal Kiersten Pels sealed it: "The best part is that they still get two full months before they actually have to get out of bed 5 days week. Is this a political committee or a daycare?"

Martin tried to soften the blow, explaining the remote setup was just a COVID "Band-Aid" that needed ripping off pronto—but hey, case-by-case exceptions for the truly committed (or connected). The union's mulling a fightback, pointing to their summer CBA that promised hybrid bliss... as long as bosses give 60 days' notice. Per the New York Times, they're not thrilled, but tough cookies.

This isn't even the first Dem work-whine rodeo. Remember when progressive staffers begged for a cushy 32-hour congressional week? Rep. Ritchie Torres torched it: "Why not be bold and ask for a 0-hour workweek? I wonder how blue-collar Americans would feel about white-collar workers demanding a 32-hour workweek." Spot on—while Joe's old crew lectures on sacrifice, their foot soldiers demand siestas.

Influencer Isabel Brown nailed the irony, citing polls showing Gen Z actually craves hybrid or in-office vibes post-COVID. Who knew the TikTok generation had more hustle than the DNC's Zoom zombies?

Look, if saving the soul of the nation means dragging your sorry self to DC five days a week, suck it up. Or better yet, join the ranks of the unemployed baristas. Democracy's waiting—and so are the résumés.

Biden's autopen scandal festers like a puss pimple as we now know who approved Fauci, et al. pardons

Joe Biden, or rather his autopen, went on a pardon spree in his final days, signing off on get-out-of-jail-free cards for big shots like Dr. Anthony Fauci and General Mark Milley. The former newspaper, New York Times, after digging through a pile of staff emails and a quick chat with Biden himself, says the pardons hit everyone from January 6th committee players to Biden’s own kin, plus lightning rods like Fauci and Milley.

Fauci, the COVID czar, caught flak for allegedly lying under oath about gain-of-function research in Wuhan’s virology lab. Critics say he funneled NIH cash into sketchy COVID-related projects, too. 

Meanwhile, Biden’s waving off the backlash, claiming the preemptive pardons, especially for his family, were a shield against a vengeful Trump. "Everybody knows how vindictive he is. So we knew that they’d do what they’re doing now," Biden told the Times, adding, "I consciously made all those decisions, among others." 

But here’s the interesting part: Fauci’s last-minute pardon was not actually signed by the confused former President. An autopen did the deed, greenlit by a "reply all" email from his chief of staff, Jeffrey Zients. The House Oversight Committee is probing Biden’s mental fog and whether he was even awake enough to okay an autopen. Ex-aide Neera Tanden swore under oath she had been steering Biden’s autopen for two years, but pinky-promised no funny business, just following the same old playbook from past administrations. If you believe that, you might believe chickens will one day blacken the sky.

A criminal's best friend

Zients, though, is the real plot twist. The Times says while Biden was supposedly burning the midnight oil, it was Zients who gave the final nod. "The emails imply that (then-White House counsel, Ed) Siskel and Mr. Zients relayed what Mr. Biden had said to the assistants, who then documented it," the Times writes. 

Biden allegedly stayed up past his 10 p.m. bedtime on January 19th, his last night as prez, hashing out these clemency deals. But whispers say the White House kept Joe on a tight leash to "manage his stamina." Sounds like they were managing more than that.

The approval process is a bureaucratic clown show. Emails show an aide to Siskel sent a draft of Biden’s decisions at 10:03 p.m. to Zients’ assistant, copying Siskel. That got forwarded to Zients and another aide, Reed, for a thumbs-up. By 10:28 p.m., it hit Feldman’s inbox, copied to a gaggle of meeting attendees. Three measly minutes later, just three minutes, Zients hit "reply all" and wrote, "I approve the use of the autopen for the execution of all of the following pardons." 

The President’s sacred pardon power, funneled through assistants’ assistants and a robotic pen. Not cool.

Zients, by the way, was a cheerleader for vaccine mandates and COVID fear mongering. He told the vaccinated they’d "done the right thing," while warning the unjabbed of a "winter of death" in a December 2021 briefing. "We are intent on not letting (the variant of concern at the time) Omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You’ve done the right thing, and we will get through this," he pontificated. "For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm." 

Obviously, none of that aged well. Zients and Fauci were peas in a pod, peddling panic while livelihoods tanked. No shock he’d rubber-stamp Fauci’s pardon.

"Look Joe, a dead bird"

The Times wants you to believe Biden was in the driver’s seat, but their own report screams otherwise. It’s a desperate spin to make it seem like Joe was calling the shots. Instead, it’s a mess of advisers passing around a "draft summary" of what Biden mumbled, emailing it through a daisy chain of flunkies until Zients gave it the go-ahead in 120 seconds flat. 

Fauci’s pardon, and who knows how many others, didn’t even need Biden’s hand, just his staff’s say-so. This reeks. The House needs to crank up the hearings, throw open the doors, and let the public see how Biden’s team played puppet master with the pardon pen. The Times’ report doesn’t clear the air, it just raises the stench.

OMB nominee called out during confirmation hearing for her GOP hate tweets

It didn't take long into her confirmation hearing that Neera Tanden was confronted with her hostile and rather disgusting tweets she posted against several GOP lawmakers. Tanden is President Biden's nominee for the position of director of Office of Management and Budget.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) was the first Republican on the Senate Homeland Security Committee to question her and he immediately brought up the hater's posts, many of which she deleted last year to cover up what she really thinks about half the country's voters. 

"I believe that the tone, the content and the aggressive partisanship of some of your public statements have added to the troubling trend of more incivility and division in our public life, and in your case I'm concerned that your personal attacks about specific senators will make it more difficult for you to work with them," Sen. Portman said, noting that OMB directors must be able to work in a bipartisan fashion and she doesn't appear to make the cut.

Portman gave examples of "a few of the thousands of negative public statements" the hate-filled Tanden has made. She called Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) "the worst," and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) a "fraud," and even said that "vampires have more heart than Ted Cruz." And when it comes to vampires, Tanden ought to know. She referred to then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as "Moscow Mitch" and "Voldemort," a Harry Potter villain.

The cowardly piece of work thought she was smart enough by deleting her tweets, but even so, Portman said that there were still nine pages of acrimonious posts still online. Evidently, she didn't think they were all that bad that it might present a problem for her in the future because, after all, the Democrats were in power and they had the media on their side.

"I wonder, specifically, how do you plan to mend fences and build relationships with members of Congress you have attacked through your public statements?" Portman asked of the leftist nominee.

"I recognize the concern," Tanden replied unconvincingly. "I deeply regret and apologize for my language — some of my past language. I recognize that this role is a bipartisan role, and I know I have to earn the trust of senators across the board. I will work very aggressively to meet that concern," she said in her most convincing voice, so much so that even M&Ms wouldn't melt in her mouth.

Tanden claimed that she hopes to work "in a bipartisan and nonpartisan manner," while acknowledging that "it’s upon me to prove that to this committee and to members." 

Yeah, sure.

Tanden eventually offered a direct apology for her caustic and highly inflammatory remarks.

"For those concerned about my rhetoric and my language, you know, I'm sorry and I'm sorry for any hurt that they've caused," she lied.

Portman referred to a report that Tanden had deleted thousands, yes thousands of tweets and he asked if she did it because she knew about the impending job possibility she might be offered. 

"I deleted tweets because I regretted my tone and I've deleted tweets over many months," Tanden said because she had to. She did not say she removed the posts with a job in mind.

But if that is true, why then did Tanden leave up nine pages of hate posts?

She'll get confirmed because the left doesn't care that she posted hateful anti-Republican rhetoric. In fact, they probably chuckle over it in private.

Biden's Neera Tanden on Michelle O's catchphrase: 'going high doesn't f**king work'

Joe Biden has probably won the election, but that isn't yet a fact. In spite of this, he babbled that he will nominate Neera Tanden to head up the Office of Management and Budget because she owns a vulva and he believes all vulva owners should run the country for diversity sake.

In 2017, Tanden repudiated the Michelle Obama lie stating, "when they go low, we go high." Obama obviously only said it for the cheers and applause, but Tanden took issue with it. She tweeted that "going high doesn't f**king work." This may explain why she prides herself on being a low-life, but that isn't yet confirmed--nor will she be.

Since being outed as a low-life, Tanden has deleted about 1,100 tweets that would cause her to be recognized for what she truly is. [H/T New York Post] Many of her tweets attacked GOP senators who she now would need for her confirmation. Any of these senators who vote to confirm her ought to be primaried and voted out of office.

Tanden is currently the chief executive of the Center for American Progress, a far Left organization.

If you're interested in seeing some of the other tweets this leftist has posted and deleted, they were  saved on the Internet archive "Wayback Machine." The post in quiestion was posted on June 20, 2017.

The outing of this post comes at a time when Biden is pretending to push for unity among all Americans after the election he was told by the legacy media that he won.

"I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify," Biden joked in his presumptive victory speech. Then stealing from his prior boss, Barack Hussein Obama added, "Who doesn't see red states and blue states, only sees the United States."

Biden isn't only a gaffe machine, he a plagiarist factory.

Some Democrats have praised Tanden as a good choice for Biden's presumptive administration. These include Sen. Elizabeth "1024" Warren, D-MA) Rep. Barbara Lee, D-CA), and imaginary Georgia Gov. Stacey Abrams.

"Such a great choice to lead OMB," Lee tweeted Monday. "@NeeraTanden will bring the experience and humanity urgently needed in this position. Congratulations!"

Oh, the humanity! I smell smoke . . .

WikiLeaks emails show Clinton's allies unaware over 'insane' private server

It's good to know that some of Hillary Clinton's top advisers weren't aware that she was using a private [illegal] server as secretary of state. It gives one hope that if she becomes POTUS (heaven forfend) that one or two of her top aides may actually be concerned over national security, not that it will change the open borders that Clinton wants.

Some of her top advisers had no clue as to the depth and scope of her email system when the scandal broke in March 2015. Even her current campaign manager had no idea about the bathroom server according to the Thursday WikiLeaks release of emails.

A close ally ('You go girlfriend') of Hillary's, Neera Tanden, the head of the Center for American Progress, was still p'd off months after the scandal broke. She pressed John Podesta over who gave Hillary permission to use the private system.

"Do we actually know who told Hillary she could use a private email? And has that person been drawn and quartered?" Tanden wrote in July. "Like whole thing is f***ing insane."

But some of Clinton's closest aides, especially those who worked with her at the State Department (like Cheryl Mills and Huma Weiner Abedin) were very likely aware and on board with the illegal email setup, while others were in the dark.

On March 2nd, Podesta wrote to campaign manager Robby Mook asking if he had "any idea of the depth of this story?"

March 3rd, 1:32 a. m. Mook wrote back: "Nope. We brought up the existence of emails in research this summer but were told that everything was taken care of."

March 2nd, John Podesta also wrote to Tanden about his worries the day the email scandal broke. "Speaking of transparency, our friends [attorney David] Kendall, Cheryl and Phillipe [Reines] sure weren't forthcoming on the facts here."

Tanden's reply implied that keeping the [illegal] email setup a secret was probably Cheryl Mills' doing: "This is a Cheryl special," she wrote. "Know you love her, but this stuff is like her Achilles heel. Or kryptonite. She just can't say no to this s**t. Why didn't they get this stuff out like 18 months ago? So crazy. I guess I know the answer they wanted to get away with it."

Six months afterward, Tanden was still angry, and in a September 4th interview said Clinton still owed the American people an apology.

Actually, the American people are owed more than an apology. We are owed an FBI director who upholds the law and is apolitical. We are owed an Attorney General who wears the blindfold of fairness and justice. 

We are owed true transparency, not just words.

And we are owed a prison sentence for Hillary Clinton who clearly broke the law simply by having a private server and a real investigation into the Clinton Foundation with questionable practices.
