Epstein's Law: every accusation from a Conservative [of being guilty of a thing] is a confession [of being guilty of the thing]
They do it cause it works. When you've got a couple billion in media capital that you can fling around, it is very easy to just say "You're the pedo! You're the crook! You're the dictator! You're doing genocide!" on the loudest volume.
And it doesn't help when your opposition takes it at face value and announces "We're looking into whether we're all degenerate freaks. We're taking these allegations very seriously" in between sucking up to the same batch of billionaire sociopaths bankrolling the fascist movement.
I mean they were right. Thats why he got shuffled off in favor of killemalla after all. Them being hypocrites is nothing new.
That was at the end of his term as well, what's trump going to do, battle through it with 3.5 years still on the clock?
Oh look…another gotcha. Oh look…zero effect
if the GOP cared about consistency, or had any shame to begin with.... we wouldn't even be having these problems.
It's only the Dems who seem to care about doing things by the book, taking the high road, being proper...... and we can all see where that's getting us.
Democrats are the Eddard Stark to Republicans Cersei Lannister
As an outsider, democrats seems to be, not very democratic. Sure vote democrat next election because the rest is so much worse (the system itself is badly designed IMO, you'll shoot yourself in the foot voting anything else than the two big parties) but don't judge them on the baseline of what the republicans are.
Politics is not a football team
Unfortunately, it is.
Politics is war by other means
He's too busy crying his eyes because he didn't get invited to that parade with Winnie the Pooh and friends. And it was much more magnificent than the "we got the military parade at home" he got for his last birthday
P R O J E C T I O N!
It's the GQP's playbook.
It wasn't though, outside of like Fox News and Newsmax. Blue MAGA and aligned media were claiming Biden was healthy as ever when it was evident his brain turned to pudding after about 4pm every day.
Both of their declines are masked by the media covering them reading rehearsed answers or off a teleprompter in their day-to-day coverage, instead of the rare moments they go off-script and can barely express a coherent thought before meandering to another topic.
it was evident
I mean, it was on Fox News* how can it not be true, right?
*As per the court decisions, Fox News and it's subsidiaries is an entertainment corporation that is legally not allowed to be thought as a news
If you didn't see his "stutter" such mumbling for 5 minutes and then blurting out "we beat medicaid!" or weird rambling stories or a million other instances until the WH came out and said it, maybe that should be a sign you should examine how your media is curated.
No, I'm not suggesting you watch Fox News.
To paraphrase Goebbels. "Accuse your opponents of what you are doing."
I don't even think they realize they're doing it half of the time. It's wild.
Republicans: "Joe Biden is literally dead and has been replaced by a clone"
Billionaire-Owned Mass Media: "Is Joe Biden a zombie clone? We spend six weeks asking the question over and over again in man-on-the-street interviews"
Democrats: "I can't wait till a Republican is President so they get the same treatment"
Billionaire-Owned Mass Media: "Trump says he's the healthiest any man has ever been. We spend six weeks asking the question over and over again in man-on-the-street interviews"
Democrats: "This is unfair"
Also Democrats: "Please, Billionaires. We love you so much. Donate us more of your money"
Accuse is really sugar coating it for Dems. Both parties have covered up severe health problems of the presidents, that's what tends to happens when you have 70+ yr old Presidents.
At the same time it makes you realize how a well-chosen cabinet can run the show. Which makes you wonder, why have a president at all, some countries use a council now instead. Less "rockstar" and consolidated power. Make politicians bureaucratic again.
Make politicians bureaucratic again.
Sorry if rubbing this in, but as an outsider looking at US politics, the opposite was quite literally what people asked for since "pOliTiCs iS bOrInG" and they only started to engage in politics simply because Trump came to power to laugh at him. Now, it turned that he is a full blown fascist, and people are starting to have buyer's remorse, and wish they didn't wish to turn politics into circus and demand it to become boring again.
I am of the mind that the USA's branches should be broken up into four major regions, each with a regional court, house, and president. These presidents can pick a figurehead president to represent the nation, but that one has had to previously served as a regional president, and can be removed by the regional presidents or by popular vote. Also, term and age limits, to ensure that the decisions of the officials more closely reflect the interests of the general population.
Each of the four regions can send representative judges and congressmen to a national court & senate, which only creates laws and refines them with a majority vote between the four regions. Otherwise, each of the four regions upholds their own laws in their respective territories. Judge-wise, I figure each region can send 4 to the national court, each president 1 apiece that only lasts during a president's tenure, and the figurehead president a supreme justice who can only do tiebreaking votes and writes up rulings made by the court. That is essentially 16 judges that aren't picked by presidents, with only 5 more being presidential picks that leave office when their boss leaves office. 21 in total.
I think this sort of arrangement would make it much harder for officials to be captured by interests, since each region is basically a nation unto itself. This essentially breaks up the federal government, making it harder to bully individual states.
Every accusation is a confession when it comes to conservatives.
When haven't it been projection with conservatives?
Which it turns out they were, though I think it was more denial than any active deception.
Yeah, but it's virtuous when THEY do it.
It would be funny and take all the criticism thrown at Biden re: his advanced age and behaviors and bring them up with Trump.
If you want to see some heads spin, raise some of those. Stuff that "just made sense" with Biden i.e. "Do we really want someone tuning out?" "He got a name wrong in a speech." "He looks old." Now, apply that to Trump and all of a sudden it "doesn't make any sense".
I feel like there is a certain amount of hypocrisy required to advocate Trump. Similar to the Party in 1984, part of the success is being able to hold two conflicting ideas in your head at the same time and consider that logical and reasoned.
As an outsider it was quite weird seing a really, really old person in bad health calling out another really really old person because of age. Gaslighting I guess.
Look everyone, nothing happened. Trump's hand was never bruised and he was just really busy for a few days. Putin definitely didn't break his hand in Alaska. That's ridiculous and no one is saying it.
He's had several successful news conferences.
He won at standing at a podium and speaking. Actually, yeah, good job, Don.
Calling death a "health condition". Bold move, Cotton.
The tweet is true.
But this is the US. Partisan ideologues of all colors have no principles beyond that which are convenient in the moment.
It just shows how normal it is for all of our politicians to lie to us huh
I think if something were to happen to him, the current administration would shove out an AI Trump before they admitted to anything.
both parties are the same and do the same shit.
Looks like the right's strategy of constant projection has worked on you.
The red and blue party project shit on the other. Here i'm calling out them both to be the same shit, there's no strategy, i'm pointing it out in front of your eyes.
Not exactly. The Democrats often behave like a controlled opposition party to the Republicans though.
Maybe because nobody cares about the scummy trump dyung or suffering from illness
Not hypocrisy!
Ugh, yeah? This is the new state of things. Worse then the old state of thing but by god we better not make any changes because that could RUIN EVERYTHING!
Yeah but it was also.true lmao
