The Democrat cartel

[B-Man]

 

It’s almost comical the way the liberal media at large falls back on two narratives when confronting stories that hurt Democrats: 

 

1. “This isn’t a story,” “nothing we didn’t know.” 

 

2. Attack the messenger. 

 

It happened the first time around with the Hunter Biden laptop story. When The Post published stories about Hunter introducing partners and foreign agents to then-Vice President Joe, who swore up and down he “never discussed” business with his son, they either insulted us, claimed falsely it was “Russian disinformation” or bought the campaign line that these stories were “long discredited.” 
 

Now it’s happening again, after internal Twitter documents were revealed through reporter Matt Taibbi. In almost lockstep, journalists are bashing Taibbi, who has a long history of campaigning journalism and colorful prose. He’s the man who called Goldman Sachs “a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity.” The typical comment came from Ben Collins, who tweeted, “Imagine throwing it all away to do PR work for the richest person in the world. Humiliating s–t.” Which is rich considering NBC has a reputation of taking whatever the bureaucrats of the Justice Department or FBI tell them and printing it without question. Rather than focus on the relevant questions — are the documents on the laptop authentic (2020), are the Twitter messages real (2022) — reporters resort to ad hominem dismissals.

This is straight out of the Clinton playbook. Hilary was/is a master of the ‘we’ve been over this already’ deflection strategy. Don’t apologize for the issue, and don’t defend your actions, just tell anyone who asks that this has already been discussed….and then just sit there. It’s brilliant, actually.

i see this work effectively in politically charged work environments as well.  Someone brings up a bunch of concerns about a direction that was taken and it’s followed by a “we discussed this in the blah blah committee meeting” 

 

Said authoritatively enough it completely dismissed the concerns.

The Great Meltdown Is Just Beginning

 

Townhall, by Kevin McCullough

 

 

The vindication for President Donald Trump on a number of fronts is just beginning. The malign actors know it and they are angry with rage at the prospect of what it means.

 

Losing control of the people’s House last month was bad enough. Now they have this “Twitter thing” that is not within their authoritarian control. They don’t have the free hand to tip the scale in their favor. They don’t have the ability to gaslight the nation with dishonest narrative about their political enemies. They see glimpses of the future if things proceed as they currently are—and they are very afraid. They should be.

Unfortunately, that only works up to a certain level in the organization. At some point in the career journey you hit a level where it’s a political liability to be too focused on facts.

Completely unrelated but the worst thing is "This is a great idea.  I'll bring it up in the next _________ committee meeting!"  

 

Ummmm....no you won't and if you do I know for sure I'm not getting credit for it.

see there’s another one for which I offer a  hack..  

 

1) don’t ever worry about credit 

2) figure out who the smartest idea person 

3) convince that person of your idea and have them bring it up.

 

you might get credit, you might not, but if it’s a thing that should happen- this is the best way to make it happen

The Manic Methods of Mad Democrats

American Greatness, by Victor Davis Hanson

 

For all Joe Biden’s talk about “semi-fascist” and “un-American,” “ultra-MAGA” Republicans, it is the Democratic Party that has far more radically changed. It is descended into a woke, neo-socialist, radically green party. And it is committed, as Barack Obama once promised, to fundamentally transforming America.

 

How it proceeds with that agenda is now as entirely predictable as it is creepy.(Snip)We are faced with a strictly disciplined, no-nonsense revolutionary party, well known from history that aims to change the nation into something unrecognizable by most Americans. And it feels that it has now created the means to do it.

WHY DECEPTION IS ESSENTIAL TO THE LEFT

By Steven Hayward

 

 

News item: Stanford University withdraws its “Harmful Language” list after it received widespread publicity—and universal ridicule. But other universities are quietly imposing similar “language guidance” albeit without high-profile master lists that would expose them to the withering laughter and contempt they deserve.

 

News item: The Biden Administration rushes to reassure Americans that there is “no plan” to ban natural gas stoves. This is a lie, of course. Lots of progressive cities—and even New York state—are moving to impose bans on all natural gas appliances. There is no doubt that the climatistas are determined to take away your gas stoves.

 

What do these two stories have in common? In both cases the left was too open and explicit about what they wanted, drawing unwanted and premature attention. In looking at the fumble by the Consumer Product Safety Commission on gas stoves, I’m reminded of an early line from Col. Trautman (played by the late great Richard Crenna) when he first shows up in First Blood: “Frankly, Rambo screwed up. You should all be dead.” The CPSC screwed up by not quietly pursuing a slow-roll regulatory rule-making, and springing a fait accompli on the American people. That is the usual procedure of the administrative state when it wants to do something unpopular, like ban plastic straws, dish soap that works, and toilets that only need a single flush. This time, Richard Trumka Jr. just couldn’t keep his mouth shut, and blew the whole thing. And some boneheaded staff at Stanford made the mistake of posting online the “Harmful Language” list before it could be formally institutionalized with a punishment procedure for anyone who engages in wrongspeak.

 

But the language police and the gas stove-grabbers will be back, you can be assured. The left never accepts defeat. But it also knows it must conceal and deceive to get what it wants, because it knows it does not have the support of the American people. As Michael Walsh never tires of reminding us, the left never stops, never sleeps, and never quits. (P.S. Almost on cue, The New Republic—a former magazine—is calling the backlash “gas stove denialism,” because that’s all they’ve got.)

The Manic Methods of Mad Democrats

by Victor Davis Hanson

 

For all Joe Biden’s talk about “semi-fascist” and “un-American,” “ultra-MAGA” Republicans, it is the Democratic Party that has far more radically changed. 

 

It is descended into a woke, neo-socialist, radically green party. And it is committed, as Barack Obama once promised, to fundamentally transforming America. How it proceeds with that agenda is now as entirely predictable as it is creepy. Election Warping Before any presidential or midterm election, strict news suppression ensures that all bad news will follow, not precede, the voting. The Twitter files, Project Veritas ambush interviews, the Podesta emails, and occasional left-wing braggadocio like Molly Ball’s now infamous post-2020 election revelations in Time magazine, confirm the fusion between the media and the Democratic Party.

 

{snip}

 

Joe Biden daily forgets where he is and what he is doing. Someday historians will fault those who knowingly used a non compos mentis septuagenarian, without regard for the interests of the American people, to mask a radical neo-socialist agenda.

 

Biden shakes imaginary hands. He insists his son died in Iraq. In his mind, Brian Sicknick was murdered on January 6. In Walter Mitty-style, he brags that he has been a semi-truck driver, an arrested civil rights activist, a major college football prospect, a U.S. Naval Academy scholarship prospect, and on and on. If Biden was given the Montreal Cognitive Test, as was Trump, he would likely flunk it outright.

 

Conservatives should be aware that they are not dealing with the party of JFK and LBJ. The Democratic Party has nothing in common with the agendas of a slick Bill Clinton and is well beyond the “fundamental transformations” of arch-narcissist Barack Obama.

 

We are faced with a strictly disciplined, no-nonsense revolutionary party, well known from history that aims to change the nation into something unrecognizable by most Americans. And it feels that it has now created the means to do it.
