I’ve seen a lot of lunacy in my time. I’ve watched the Left melt down over everything from red hats to Trump serving fries at a hamburger restaurant. But the whole Subway Sandwich thing is peak Trump Derangement Syndrome. We’re not talking about a sandwich anymore. We’re talking about a full-blown psychological collapse masquerading as political discourse.
You’ll remember the recent lunacy, I am sure. A member of the Department of Justice, the very institution tasked with upholding law and order, went full toddler in public. Not metaphorically. Literally. Screaming like a banshee, veins bulging, eyes wild. And then, in a moment of pure, unfiltered leftist rage, they hurl a sandwich at a federal officer.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: assault on a law enforcement officer? Surely that’s a crime. Surely there’s accountability. But no. No grand jury would touch it. Not because the facts weren’t clear. Not because the evidence was lacking. But because the tantrum was politically blessed. You see, when your rage is anti-Trump, anything goes.
This wasn’t about lunch. This was about the Left losing its last shred of impulse control. The sandwich was just the projectile. The real weapon was their unhinged ideology; an ideology so warped by hatred for one man that it overrides basic human decency.
We used to live in a country where adults acted like adults. Where public servants didn’t behave like caffeinated toddlers at Chuck E. Cheese. But now? Now we’ve got DOJ officials throwing food and foaming at the mouth like it’s a punk rock concert in 1993.
This is not just embarrassing. It’s dangerous. When political tantrums are given immunity, when law enforcement is treated like a punching bag for ideological rage, we don’t have a republic, we have a banana republic merged with a three-ring circus. And the clowns aren’t funny anymore.
There may be no statute for “criminal temper tantrums,” but maybe there should be. Especially when those tantrums are directed at officers of the law. Especially when they’re drenched in political idiocy and institutional hypocrisy.
So no, the sandwich thrower wasn’t indicted. But the real indictment is of a culture that’s lost its mind. A culture where rage is virtue, and restraint is weakness. A culture where the Left’s mental disorder is not only tolerated – it’s celebrated.
And that, my friends, is the real crime.
