The Hypocrisy Variant

Original Article

Posted By: Garnet, 8/10/2021 6:55:33 AM

A contagion is ravaging the Democratic Party, destroying the credibility of its leaders and scaring away its supporters. It is the deadly Hypocrisy Variant. The most prominent Democratic carriers of this infectious strain of duplicity are former President Barack Obama, President Joe Biden, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Less significant Democrats who have tested positive for the Hypocrisy Variant are Rep. Cory Bush (D-Mo.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and the Texas Democrats who fled their state in order to hobble the democratic process.

Certainly agree with this observation-opinion. Not that there isn’t a goodly representative component from the Republican party. What is needed is a true Conservative party. Perhaps the present chaos will give birth to one. We can always dream, or hope. Wishing won't do it.

The poll on Newsom is irrelevant. Californians will be able to print their own ballots “in the comfort of their own homes”. So one can only assume that the leftists in the big cities will each be printing out hundreds of ballots to mail in. Newsom has already beat the recall with this new, even more heinous, type of cheating.

Pointing out someone's hypocrisy is only effective if they have developed a sense of shame. Since most Dimocrats and leftists (but I repeat myself) lack that, they simply don't care if you point out that they are inconsistent in their views (i.e. they are lying). This also gives rise to a lack of a sense of irony - while we may feel better pointing out the idiocy of "following the science" while simultaneously holding anti-scientific positions (most notably of late, transgender athletes), it is lost on them. Consistency in viewpoints and logic is something that only non-leftists value. In that, they are more akin to Rousseau, eschewing the Lockean notion of empiricism and logic for one of man as just another animal, given over to base desires and situational ethics (feelings). But what do I know...? greyseal

Our "Ruling Class" are doing exactly what their handlers tell them to do. Trouble is, their handlers' employers are completely clueless about freedom, and its advantages. They only see obstruction to their control and power. If we have the revolution, its those people, before anyone else, that we must settle.

'......and if you are starting to get a lot of fires in your area, defund the fire department.' Makes complete sense.

A hypocrite is a person who urges an action while doing the opposite. This has been the Democratic operating rulebook since 1800. Nothing new here. Democrats are superior. You can determine this because they tell us so. They are smarter. They are better educated. They are wiser. They are entitled. Democrats have led us into wars in which hundreds of millions were killed. Why? For their own benefit. They like to kill others in order to make themselves rich. You think FDR was acting for US? Don't kid yourself. He was trying to get away from Eleanor to have some snuggle time of his own. You think Clinton was taking the Lolita Express because of his undying love for Hillary? Give me a break. The last good Democrat was . . . crickets. Democrats have brought us the COVID-19 crisis. For what? Money. Lots of money. Pallets of $100 bills. And it has worked. Name the last Democrat removed from office for putting Americans at risk for COVID-19. NONE. Show me the penalty to Andrew Cuomo. None. He continues in office. Nothing new here. Just move on.

Let me add this: the people who are calling the shots are people like Soros, the Big Tech honchos and the globalists. To them, the "Defund" effort has two beneficial effects. 1. It beats into everyone that if they want protection they "Need" government. 2. As Rahm Emanel stated, "Never let a crisis go to waste." The unspoken adendum: if there are nor crisis, invent them. America is burning. The snake that's causing it needs it head chopped off, then the body can be sagely disposed of.

Now Chris Cuomo must go too 16 replies

One down. One to go. Now that Andrew Cuomo has resigned, his brother, Chris, must be next. They are, after all, both guilty of gross ethics violations. Before his “long-planned vacation” this week, it has been positively Orwellian to watch, night after night, CNN’s highest-rated primetime host blatantly ignore this huge, developing bombshell of a story, simply because he’d rather not — while informing upper management that he would continue to advise his brother, who also faces criminal charges and civil lawsuits.

Andrew Cuomo has announced his resignation as governor of the state of New York. This came on the heels of a damning New York Attorney General’s report detailing sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations against numerous women. Before his announcement on Tuesday, CBS News reported a state senator revealed that all 63 members of the state’s senate “were likely to vote for his removal.” Like President Richard Nixon, Mr. Cuomo’s resignation has nothing to do with him suddenly developing a conscience. Suppose he had one. None of this would’ve happened in the first place. What we get instead is a man who resigned because impeachment could bar

President Joe Biden is having a quiet week, but the decline in his popularity may be problematic for Democrats if it proves to be more than a summer slump. Biden's surprisingly steady approval ratings are starting to crater, though his disapproval numbers have consistently climbed during the first six months of his administration. That is a foreboding trend for Democrats before the 2022 midterm elections when the party is clinging onto power with slim majorities in the House and Senate.Barely half of the country approves of Biden's job as president, his lowest average rating since his January inauguration, according to FiveThirtyEight. That number is down from a 55% high in March.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) urged Americans to resist potential forthcoming lockdown measures, saying that the country could not go back to the state that it was in last year. In a video that he posted to his Twitter account on Sunday that closely resembled an op-ed he wrote for Fox News last week, Paul said, “It’s time for us to resist.”“They can’t arrest all of us. They can’t keep all of your kids home from school. They can’t keep every government building closed – although I’ve got a long list of ones they might keep closed or might ought to keep closed,” Paul said.

When midterm elections loom just around the corner, most presidents push populist policies to lure Independent votes as a means of retaining their party’s majority in Congress. President Biden, however, seems to be doing everything to push middle-ground voters away. It’s almost hard to believe that Biden wants his party to retain control of Congress at all, given his performance so far. While the administration celebrates saving families 16 cents on Independence Day barbecues, American families face the harsh realities of misguided government priorities.

The summer in a president’s first year of office is often the moment the novelty wears off, and the limits to what’s possible come more clearly into view. It was when Bill Clinton, after a dreadful start, came crashing down to earth at 39 percent approval; when George W Bush fell to 50 percent (before 9/11), Obama was sideswiped by the Tea Party, and Trump collapsed in the early polling. It’s not dispositive, as all these examples prove. Presidents can recover from rough starts to two-term successes. And Biden has large public, bipartisan support on infrastructure (65 - 28) and his massive social spending proposal (62 - 32)

It looks as if Democrats just now realized there’s an election next year. After months of repeated appeals from pollsters, consultants, and former officials, Congressional Democrats finally appear to be hearing the warnings that their party and their message is not resonating with voters. But with the party still firmly in the grip of radical progressive politicians and donors, Democrats may have already sealed their fate for 2022.According to a new poll commissioned by the party’s own campaign arm, the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee, Democrats are trailing Republicans by 6 points on a generic ballot among likely voters in swing districts. Those results, particularly on the economy, which 55%

One of the residual effects of last year’s chaotic election is the palpable fear of former President Trump that still haunts the Democrats. Their congressional antics, from the absurd post-election impeachment to the parodic House investigation into the Jan. 6 “insurrection,” confirm that they are still very much afraid of the man (snip) This has nothing to do with any threat Trump or his supporters pose to the republic, as media alarmists insist. The actual source of Democratic trepidation can be found in their lackluster performance in the 2020 presidential and congressional elections combined with Trump’s clear intention to become very much involved in boosting Republicans in next year’s midterms.

There’s a frequently recurring narrative that plays out when a public figure is accused of sexual harassment: a chorus of defenders inevitably emerges to assert that the accused is actually a nice guy, historically respectful of women, and where applicable, has daughters who don’t appear to loathe him. Some of these defenders point out that the accused treated them well and never harassed them personally, as if that detracts from the credibility of the allegations. When two former staffers accused New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, of sexual harassment in February, this ritual chorus of defenders was nowhere to be found.

Republican Sen. Tim Scott boarded a plane to Hawaii earlier this year to meet with one of the richest people in the world: Tech titan Larry Ellison.Ellison’s remote Lanai Island home was well out of the South Carolina senator’s way. But for Scott, who like the 76-year-old Ellison is an outspoken advocate for school choice, cultivating the mogul has paid dividends — and could even help propel a 2024 presidential bid. Since last October, Ellison has contributed $10 million to an outside group aligned with the senator — a huge sum even in the super PAC era and the business owner’s biggest known contribution in three decades

Cuomo had tried to remain in office for days after the report, insisting he did nothing wrong, but eventually bowed to the pressure. Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, will serve the rest of his term, and will be the state's first female governor.

The White House on Wednesday called on OPEC and its allies to boost oil production as gas prices continue to climb, threatening the nation’s economic recovery. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement the administration has spoken with OPEC members urging the group to increase production. OPEC, which stands for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, reached an agreement last month with its non-OPEC allies, known as OPEC+, to increase oil production by 400,000 barrels per day. But Mr. Sullivan said that isn’t enough to bolster the oil supply. “While OPEC+ recently agreed to production increases, these increases will not fully offset previous production cuts

Senator Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) was challenged recently by a caller on the “Jay Thomas Show.” The caller asked Cramer to reveal the identity of the Capitol Police officer who shot and killed unarmed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, on January 6. Cramer claimed he did not know the name of the officer, nor did he believe the public had any right to know that officer’s name because he had not been found guilty of any wrongdoing. Such pandering to the ruling class and its railroaded investigation is embarrassing enough, as the available evidence (to say nothing of the evidence that the government refuses to release) indicates that the officer recklessly—
