The funny thing this is exactly what many conservatives were warning as this was happening. https://t.co/qpeVTmwCxe — Yoenis Cespedes (@AppFlyer) December 8, 2016

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 …

I have some bad news for you George https://t.co/X0or8746Hm — Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) December 8, 2016

way to keep up with the news! https://t.co/qpop5e2Qq2 — David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) December 8, 2016

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.

Anyone else enjoying the irony of @GeorgeTakei talking about filibustering nominations on the day @SenatorReid retires? — TheRednosedRoadbeer (@TheRoadbeer) December 8, 2016

@szysgt Hard to take seriously the commentary on politics when @GeorgeTakei doesn't know what Harry Reid did to the filibuster. @lachlan — Jagar Foten (@dustopian) December 8, 2016

@lachlan @Heritage @GeorgeTakei Didn't Harry Reid go nuclear and change the filibuster rule? So tragic. 🙂 — Kyle ⛵️ Stryker (@BlkOps6) December 8, 2016

@lachlan Besides Dems killing the fillibuster, Takei also seems unaware that Flynn's position doesn't require Senate confirmation. — Marc Sherman (@marcsherm) December 9, 2016

We almost feel sorry for him. Almost.

Who wants to tell him? https://t.co/RSFvctMG3y — Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) December 8, 2016

@GPollowitz Someone must've, b/c he deleted the tweet — JoeyJoeJoeJrShabadoo (@SideshowJon36) December 9, 2016

Indeed he did.

.@GeorgeTakei Where did your filibuster tweet go Sulu? — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) December 8, 2016

But not before several intrepid tweeters grabbed screenshots:

Sorry sir. Your Democrats ruined that option for generations to come.

Hi @GeorgeTakei Harry Reid destroyed this dream. Called the nuclear option. Sorry for your luck. pic.twitter.com/dL4tk9DCRu — Stacey Lennox (@ScotsFyre) December 8, 2016

Ah, thank you. George doesn't know senatorial procedure or screenshots. https://t.co/EkDDhlJKtT — Anthony Bialy (@AnthonyBialy) December 8, 2016

Tough break, George.

@TheRoadbeer @GeorgeTakei @SenatorReid prime example of:''Better to remain silent & be thought a fool than to speak out & remove all doubt.' — Jeff at StonerBrew (@StonerBrewingCo) December 8, 2016

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.
