Seeing in print in the @WSJ this list of Republican national security officials endorsing Biden is really something. This is basically every GOP luminary of the last 30 years, saying \u201cenough\u201d to Trump. Stunning, really.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My comments were<\/p>\n

\nEssentially, this says, &Newline;
\n “Former government employees Trump wouldn’t give jobs to endorse Biden instead.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n Why didn’t they ask me to sign too? I voted for Bush, and I didn’t even get to be a deputy undersecretary. In fact, I got no money at all.
\n&Newline;
\nI wouldn’t have signed even if they’d asked, but I feel dissed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another version (better?) is <\/p>\n

\nWhy didn’t they ask me to sign too? I voted for Bush, and I didn’t even do it just to get a cushy foreign policy job. &Newline;
\nI wouldn’t have signed even if they’d asked, but I feel dissed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This ad is actually an example of a vital point that is counterintuitive but crucial to understand the difference between liberals and conservatives all the way back to Edmund Burke: liberals love authorities. <\/p>\n

\nThey did it in 2016, too. Failed Beltway bureaucrats\u2014the Dems can have them. This backfires again.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n@NYLibertariann &Newline;
\nThe national security state should keep their mouths shut. They operate in total secrecy and are anathema to a functioning democracy. Their open political advocacy merely drops the veil on the notion that bureaucrats are apolitical actors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nEvery time I see some checked account I don\u2019t recognize gleefully rooting for the downfall of Trump, I assume it\u2019s an \u201cunbiased\u201d \u201cprofessional\u201d \u201cjournalist.\u201d
\n &Newline;
\nI am never ever ever disappointed. What does that tell us about the profession?

\nTruly the enemy of the people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n@ottomul &Newline;
\nWow. They don\u2019t want their Applecart Gravy Train messed with. It\u2019s all about them.
\n Civil Servants. Washington Lifers. Swamp dwellers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nI don\u2019t know how this is anything but an endorsement of trump. He literally ran by saying both parties are the same. This just proves his point.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n@orbis_quintus &Newline;
\nThis makes a Biden presidency terrifying. These people are irredeemably evil. Whatever they endorse must be monstrous.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThis is essentially the roll call of Deep State Spoogesprockets that got us into multiple wars, released ISIS by removing bad but effective dictators, & drove American manufacturing into the ground.

\nYeah, let’s listen to these goblins.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
