For The "Smart" Voters

Permit me a somewhat cliched counterfactual in order to draw out why so many of us are enraged at the response of the Republican party:

Earth 2, January 6, 2021: The United States Congress is engaging in a ceremonial, but required, passing of the torch from the Hillary Clinton administration to the incoming Marco Rubio administration. A group of Iranian militants storm the Capitol to interrupt the proceedings with the stated goal of keeping Clinton in power. They murder a police officer. They scour the building in an attempt to intercept the documents that would certify President Rubio.
They occupy our sacred halls of Congress and menace elected officials who run for cover and cower in fear. They shout “Death To The Vice President” and social media postings reveal at least some of the militants intended to assassinate Republican elected officials.
After the building is secured and a smattering of the Iranian insurrectionists are arrested, their extremist social media sites call for subsequent armed attacks in state capitols all across America on January 17th. They call it the “largest armed protest ever to take place on American soil.”

If this were the state of affairs this week, what do you think the Senate Republican majority would be doing right now?

But wait! There's more;

Now imagine one more counterfactual:

The Iranian militants weren’t acting alone. President Clinton was in on the plot. She encouraged the militants because she thought the election had been “rigged.” She puts out a video during the siege in which she says, “We love you. You are very special.” She ignores requests for military aid for hours while she watches TV and laughs. She invites one of the sponsors of the group to the White House for a meeting the following week.

Now what do you think Republican elected officials are doing?

Are they calling for national unity and understanding for the perpetrators of the attack?

Are they making excuses for why the president who incited it cannot be held accountable?

Are they saying that there just isn’t enough time on the Senate floor to hold impeachment or oversight hearings?

Are they slow-walking the confirmation of the incoming administration’s cabinet?

Are they allowing the president who sympathized with the attackers to stay in office for another two weeks and just hoping for the best?

Or do you think there is an emergency session of the Senate fast-tracking removal of the president and plotting a military strategy to prevent future attacks? A War on Domestic Terror, if you will.

Everyone knows the answer.

The “smart voters” listened to CNN and the New York Times. They were sold a bill of goods and they were stupid enough to buy into the “free everything” promises of the Socialists. Thank the timing of covid and the help of social media censorship allowing the Left Stream Media to push the ball over the goal line.

Now we all will pay the price. Sure things will get better for awhile after the vaccine (you know the vaccine that they said could never, ever be developed under the Trump administration) gets in enough people’s arms. The economy was in great shape after three years of the Trump administration..lowest unemployment, wages rising. I know CNN won’t report that but you can look it up. So with a strong underlying economy going into the pandemic and the pent up spending demand that will be unleashed post pandemic the Dems will take credit...until the bills from their “free everything” plans come due.

No doubt when we see the high taxation and high inflation that’s inevitable under the Socialists, somehow CNN will still be trying to blame Trump.

fishtm do you condone the rioting, looting, and violence perpetrated by far left wing groups in cities around the country this past year? Or is that ok since they were left wing and only the right wing rioters should be punished? Portland had nightly riots for weeks. Seattle let s chunk of downtown including a police station be taken over by Left wing extremists. But that’s ok in eyes of likes of CNN.

I mean let’s face it, if Trump announced a cure for cancer tomorrow, CNN would point out that more whites die from cancer than blacks so it simply proves (again) that Trump is a racist.

Oh and I liked this one., if Trump walked across the Potomac River in bare feet the New York Times would report that the President doesn’t know how to swim properly and must be unfit for office!

American news really is the worse garbage I’ve ever watched.
This is a news show correct? Or is it a comedian sketch show? It’s so hard to tell when consuming left wing media.

I'm surprised you're not familiar with Bill Maher. He's a comedian who found his niche in political humor. Used to have a late night show on ABC. Got fired after saying some off the wall things about 9/11. Went to HBO where he's free to say about anything. On occasion he gets after liberals too.
