I just turned on Rush and he’s attacking Xi for having ousted any opponents or critics from power. He’s lamenting leaders who get rid of critics. Irony is dead.

Rush has more class, and maybe more intelligence, than is evident to the DumpTrumpster bunch of knuckleheads.
A caller raised the question of nepotism amongst Deep State professionals. It's a fair question, and goes to cronyism as a campaign issue, and influence peddling in general. Rush dissed it as "The Way We Are", whether in public or private organizations, concluding that "It's Who You Know as much as What you Know."
Considering the record of our high-level bureaucrats regarding schemes to make Trump look bad, and leaks to the media, almost any ordinary American who is not fully soused in the DumpTrump cool-aid, recognizes today that nobody can operate the Presidency without the support of our socialist/communist unelected and above-the-law cliques in Washington......
Xi doesn't even blush, and the State-run Chinese media, including their American holdings in the likes of Hollywood and our mainstream media know better than to criticize Xi.
Nothing "ironic", really. It's the way totalitarians like Xi do business.
Trump deserves the same latitude we gave Obama for picking Executive Branch leadership posts, and imo, he would do better to get some new people in there where ever he can. But Pelosi and the determined Statost Establishment have done everything imaginable to hog tie the Trump Presidency.
But Progressivism is dying the death, with or without Trump. Times are changing. We have a solid core of mature citizenry who've gone through the classrooms of schoolteachers like Thriller, high school and college as well, eating and drinking Progressive crap for generations, and it's such a load people all over the world are sick of it, and the rising rejection of it at every level is epidemic. This is not the real world, it's not the world we want, and it's not what will be our future.
Americans are increasingly rejecting authoritarian governance at every level. It's just gotten so bad people have seen the light. If we don't assert the right to take care of ourselves, whether we do or not, "the authorities" will not do it for us. They take care of their own, that's it. And we're just fools to let them near the levers of power in our government.
I was a bit slow to see the media sources for the Trumpdumpster allegations that "It's All Trump's Fault", and the sources for the complaint in the CYA Washington Bureaucracy, but the more people like Thriller and Colton glomb on it, the more sense it will make.
Politically, this will go against the know-nothing Obama holdovers heading the agencies, whom Pelosi has blocked Trump from replacing with competent, true professional people rather than Obama's political hacks, just like it did on the Ukrainian gambit.
This will also further reduce the cognitive-capable citizenry tolerance for the hack media. You folks know, I suppose, that Obama asserted control of the media by using his agency goons to threaten and intimidate the Press. AP in particular.
Here's the story, peeps. Read and Discuss. Or admit you're just little committed foot-soldiers for the Brave New World.

The DumpTrumpster movement has Obama's thumbprints all over it, all his appointees in the FBI, CIA, FISA Court, and every other branch of government, still there with a howling spychotic band of delusional power-hungry would-be sycophants for King Barry.
I might be edging off the screen in a bit of irony myself...… lol.
