It can’t be easy being George Takei, what with being plagued by chronic ignorance and all. But bless him, he keeps pushing ahead with his liberal thought crusade. Yesterday, he tweeted out this Very Important Message:
Dear Democrats: You had better be prepared to filibuster folks like Mattis, Flynn, and Sessions. We are counting on you to hold your ground.
Are you counting on them, George? Are you? Because that could be a problem …

It seems George forgot (or just never knew to begin with) that Dems — led by the illustrious Harry Reid — kneecapped themselves a while ago. They made this bed, despite repeated warnings from Republicans.

Hard to take seriously the commentary on politics when @GeorgeTakei doesn't know what Harry Reid did to the filibuster. @lachlan

@GeorgeTakei Didn't Harry Reid go nuclear and change the filibuster rule? So tragic. 🙂

Besides Dems killing the fillibuster, Takei also seems unaware that Flynn's position doesn't require Senate confirmation.

We almost feel sorry for him. Almost.
@GeorgeTakei Priceless.

Who wants to tell him? https://t.co/RSFvctMG3y

Someone must've, b/c he deleted the tweet

Indeed he did.

But not before several intrepid tweeters grabbed screenshots:

Hi @GeorgeTakei Harry Reid destroyed this dream. Called the nuclear option. Sorry for your luck. pic.twitter.com/dL4tk9DCRu

Ah, thank you. George doesn't know senatorial procedure or screenshots. https://t.co/EkDDhlJKtT

George can delete all the tweets he likes. Unfortunately for him, he’ll never be able to bury the fact that when it comes to politics, he’s a total space cadet.
