Calling me a liar? Who dat be calling me a liar?

 

The agreed upon number of lies Trump has told is 30,000.


Gonna do this out of order for a change. Here were MSNBC’s most glamorous couple yesterday…


Joe is clearly shocked and crestfallen.

Most significantly, perhaps, he was outraged that time after time, Biden failed to expose Trump lies about everything from the out-of-control border, the out-of-control inflation in the necessities of life,  the expenditure of billions on a foreign war with no stated mission or objectives, the catastrophically costly and unplanned exit from Afghanistan, and the runaway crime wave caused by illegal migrants for whom statistics can’t be determined because we don’t know who and where they are and no one reports crimes to a police department that doesn’t show up because prosecutors don’t want to hear about it.  The falsehoods, the lies, are the most important thing because what the two Joe’s revere the most is the Truth, and every Trump lie about the state of a perfectly run Presidency is a dagger to the soul.


We — and others, truthfully — do have some questions about this clip…

It was only a few weeks ago at most that Joe Scarbrow recorded this touching paean to one of the greatest Presidencies and greatest Presidents in the whole history of American Democracy. What happened in the interim? Did Biden accidentally free-fall 30,000 feet from Air Force 1 during his period of shuttling back and forth between European state dinners and Hunter’s criminal trial? Or was the adulatory clip maybe exaggerated somewhat, or even borrowed from the ecstatic echo chamber of other Biden footsoldiers? If so, is there another story about falsehoods, and even lies, that underpin every devastated reaction by the Team. I mean were they lying about Biden then, or are they lying about their stunned and stricken surprise now?


Why would notoriously left-leaning SNL have considered the massive Democratic
endorsement of Biden’s mental acuity over-the-top enough to spoof it so thoroughly?

To be clear, the skit shown above was produced and aired before the Debate Disaster. The inspiration was a number of video compilations making the rounds on the Internet featuring testimonials to Biden’s awesome mental brilliance by politicians, cabinet members, media hosts, and cable news analysts.

The reason I’m showing you the SNL clip here is that since the Debate it appears that all the video medleys of such laudatory sound bites about the President no longer show up in the dozens of different keyword searches I have conducted. Zip, Zero, Zilch. Except for the Scarbrow clip above, which I find (frankly) suspect, in that I doubt very much that the two Joe’s have ever hung out together much.

I think I’ll close this story of puzzling contradictions with a return to the incredibly redundant total of 30,000 lies told by Donald Trump. My question would be this: when they updating the total of Trump “lies” do they meticulously go back and remove the ones that turned out to be true days, months, or years later?

FOR EXTRA CREDIT, VIA BREITBART NEWS: Here is a documented list of hoaxes that have sailed uncritically through the mass media in recent years, including the alphabet news networks, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, CNN, the NYT, The Washington Post, and all the other print/electronic publications that rewrite the headlines provided by the two most rabidly progressive newspapers. Could it be that Mr. and Mrs. Mika, Rachel Madcow, Joy Ruud, Jake Tweaker, Nicolle Walrus, and other lefty mouthpieces have included as Trump lies his repeated denunciations of all these hoaxes as they were being turned into twisted Internet memes? If they forgot to do this, their count is off. Way off.

What follows is drawn from a Breitbart post by John Nolte, called How CNN Cut Its Own Throat. Read it and then go try to wash the blood off your own conscience…

FTA: <<What CNNLOL has done, ever since the arrival of Jeff Zucker in 2013 (Zucker was fired in disgrace in 2022), is checkmate itself.


By going hard-left; by becoming smug, unappealing hall-monitoring scolds; for attacking Normal People as racists and bigots for being Normal, and, of course, for this…



CNN alienated everyone in America who’s not hard-left, who doesn’t hate Normal People, and who can’t stand being serially lied to. In other words, CNN checkmated itself into a corner with only an itsy-bitsy base of remaining viewers. And according to the latest figures, that base is fewer than a half-million viewers.>>

UPDATE!!! Found this clip, which includes a segment showing the real people who inspired the SNL skit above.

Exhibit 1. The Myth of Scientific Omniscience Where to start. There are so many places to start, all with consistently alarming intimations of one deep problem. The inference is seditious of rationality as we have deified it in science. I’m going to show you some of the more accessibly evocative starting points, not to drag you into the weeds of higher mathematics, but to stress some elements of simplicity that overthrow the fallacy called Artificial Intelligence. Bear with me. Just look for now. I’ll make connections as we proceed after viewing the items below. Exhibit 2. Turing Test Fallacy Exhibit 3. The Proof of Digital Inferiority (It works.

Our Idiot Judiciary

Image
Yeah, I did that. Am I fair? I’m principally a thinker and writer, which often but not always go together. As a thinker I use writing as a tool for thinking, because writing forces you to deal with matters of order, precision, logic, and moral context in testing your thinking. If you can’t write a thought down and agree with what you’ve written, you haven’t thought it through. I tend to be, try to be, fair in that process. But being a writer also offers the opportunity to go the next step beyond documentation. Because much of what I think is not popular, generally accepted in its positions, or understood by undisciplined minds, I also tend to create a kind of commentary called satire. Satire is inherently UN fair, in that it is meant to provoke readers to do their own thinking when they are angered or offended by a satirical provocation. For those who are inclined to agree with the unfairness, there is the collateral benefit of laughter. Funny requires no justification. It  just is...

Sick of the Fascist<>Commie Circular Firing Squad

Image
The only objective of the current Deep State Democrat Party is just a hellish fetish. It was probably rude of me to interrupt the umpty-umpteenth nitpicking of the fascist/commie definitional argle-bargle that’s gripped American political partisans since the McCarthy era. (Explained here for all the trouble it’s caused). Not my concern anymore. There’s a bigger problem this kind of empty back and forth helps conceal. So I described the real problem in a comment I thought I’d share here with people who might actually read it: The UniParty State No Longer Has Any Ideology Historical antecedents are useful, but they can also be counterproductive diversions. Parsing the differences and similarities between communism and fascism/Nazism is no longer useful because we are looking at a new paradigm. Both fascism and communism had an ideological base on which activist organizations and ultimately states were built. But once they had shown the power and elitist protections of the state there wa...

Profile in Courage on the Epstein Fiasco

  Representative Clay Higgins (R, LA) Is everyone ready for this? Getting what you wanted? There’s an old saying, “Be careful what you wish for… you might get it.” We’re about to have the most highly publicized rape trial media coverage in history for a rape trial that will never result in any convictions. A more tactless way of putting it is to say we are about to have the public pissing contest to end all public pissing contests. Trump called for this bill to pass. Democrats are smacking their lips. Republicans are afraid that MAGA constituencies obsessed with a sense of injustice about the victims are melting away in Christian-sounding dudgeon. Now it’s going to happen. Sometime today probably. Passage of the bill, I mean. Actual distribution of the documents will still be a burdensome process because everyone agrees redactions will be needed to protect the innocent. But, but, but… we will get to see the Democrat Party’s idea of “Democracy” in action. No wonder every member of t...

The Blobfish Boomlet

Image
  Click the graphic above to watch the Rumble video Why this post? The last 48 hours or so have defined the beginning of a new phase in the adventure of Trump 2.0. Phase 1 was fixing the border, addressing the hot wars in foreign climes, and launching a new trade strategy based on tariffs. Phase 2 was not a restart but a new layer, the beginning of calling the criminals of Trump 1.0 to account, ramping up the deportation campaign in Sanctuary locations, and fighting back against the locally based judicial insurrection against the 2024 election of Trump and his Americans First policies. Phase 3 is another new layer, the immediate aftermath of the death of the Democrat Party in last night’s election results.  I’m calling it the Blobfish Boomlet, because the outstanding feature of the Blobfish is that it is ugly and shapeless, flaccid inertness disguising itself with inflated media presence. Pundits insist we are looking at an ideological divide, a collision between two diametric...

We can learn from useful archetypes of the liberal elites

Image
  This was going to be a Facebook joke, playing on the contrast between the haughty New Yorker grand dame and the plainspoken Trump 2.0 disdain for reflexive mass media TDS. When I looked Jane Mayer up in Wikipedia I discovered the need to write this post. The woman is an archetype of the particular kind of box highly influential lefties in the nation’s press come from. They are by no means representative of the nation they purport to understand and cover objectively in their reporting and opinionating. Back in April of this year, I wrote a post called “ TDS is a coalition not a monolith .” It described criteria that define various ways in which Trump haters are limited in their knowledge of American life despite  levels of education, power, and prosperity that might seem guaranteed to give them broad insight into their countrymen as a whole. Limiting factors include the isolating effects of being among the overpaid and over-indulged, the vertical siloing effects of geography...

My World and Welcome to It

Image
     This post was last updated at 12:30 PM, Wednesday, November 19.  Latest entries are “Profile in Courage on the Epstein Fiasco,” “Sick of Fascist-Commie Circular Firing Squad,” and “Our Idiot Judiciary.” The Instapunk Times is hot off the presses! [ NOV 19 STRIKE ISSUE! ] Undernet Black was updated November 19. This will be a pinned post in perpetuity, but it will be updated continuously, just like all of our lives. The title — “My World and Welcome to It” — is stolen happily from James Thurber, who is known as a humorist, unabashedly untrained cartoonist, and dog lover. He was also subject to melancholy, a drinker of note, and something of an outsider (in his own damaged eyes at least) as an Ohioan, born and educated, who became a fixture in the glamorous Algonquin Roundtable of Manhattan writers and playwrights. I can relate to all of that but the fame and the lifelong journey to blindness. I believe he was likely the best writer of the gang that gathered in th...

I wouldn’t be surprised…

  Yeah. He’s old. What of it? He can do it. But does he have to? …if Trump was thinking about resigning at some point. This could all be projection on my part. Probably is. But I’m old enough to have experienced the gradual loss of patience that comes with a life full of intense contending in a lot of different arenas. You get tired of seeing the same patterns of weakness and distraction even in people you have good reason to trust. He’s getting more irascible. I know what that’s all about. The usual army of enemies want to read this as a sign of burgeoning dementia. That’s not what it is. It’s rather the beginning of the question, “How much more of this shit is worth taking day after day? When have I done enough? When might it be appropriate to trust other younger ones to carry on, to come along from the ranks, to learn and practice the key lessons I have shown them?” Old age is about standing back to some extent. To see things from outside the fray, patterns indicating subtler ...

TDS is not a monolith but a coalition

Image
  It’s Eastertide and I am moved to look for whatever bridges there might be to the people who suffer from TDS but are not necessarily evil at heart. The compound fracture in the soul of this nation needs to be healed, at least enough that we can begin to work together in sensible ways to repair years of decline in so many institutions and belief systems. This post is an attempt in that direction, a search for some different ways of describing and understanding the rifts that imperil us all. I’ll begin with a proposition: Susceptibility to irrational hatred of Donald Trump is not primarily a function of political convictions. It’s deeper than that, which is why it’s so hard to understand. The haters are so fond of labels that it’s easy to miss the forest for the trees. Or forest s to be more precise. There’s more than one forest of TDS sufferers. This post is not about establishing more labels. It’s about describing several different mentalities that lead inadvertently to the Occa...
