Politico & Democrats (But I Repeat Myself): When We Said "Believe All Women," We Were, How You Say, Lying

This reminds me of the Democrats discovering that there was a credible rape allegation against Bill Clinton, and that they should have given Juanita Broaddrick a fair hearing, the very moment there was no more gas in the Bill/Hillary political vehicle.

Likewise, we've had to live with a slogan turned into an Iron Law -- "Believe All Women" -- for years, but only when the presumptive Democrat candidate stands credibly accused, do Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself again) admit that "Believe All Women" was really just a bumper sticker slogan that was meant to be taken seriously, but not literally.

The job description for Joe Biden’s running mate has suddenly become more complicated: The Democratic vice presidential nominee must now defend him against sexual assault accusations without looking hypocritical.

It's a particularly vexing problem for Biden’s potential picks, many of whom played lead roles in opposing the Senate Supreme Court confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. Democrats vigorously applied a "believe all women" standard as they rallied to support his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, leaving a trail of unambiguous statements at sharp odds with the role they’ll need to play for Biden in a general election.

...

"'Believe the woman' didn't mean believe all women, all the time. But this is an era of slogans and we’re paying the price for that," said an adviser to one of the women under consideration, noting Reade's story changed over the time.

Poor you.

Brett Kavanaugh and his family paid a price for your "slogans" -- did you not notice that at the time?

"The #MeToo movement was an over-correction to decades of ignoring women and not believing them. And what we’re seeing now is a result of that over-correction," the adviser said. "It's not ideal. It's not what we want to be talking about."

You don't want to talk about it?

Gee, you sure seemed to want to talk about it a lot since Harvey Weinstein, and even more during Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation.

I never heard that this was an over-correction before. Nice timing!

==========

I keep saying it because I keep believing it, but this is the absolute perfect time for this revelation to come out.

It's about fomenting discontent within the party. Highlighting divisions and encouraging a fight.

If this had come out earlier, Biden could have just disappeared and the party would have coalesced around someone else.

If this had come out later (say after the convention), then the party would have completely ignored it.

Coming out now? When Biden is only the presumptive nominee and there are still primary races to be run? Bernie Bros (but not Bernie himself because he's a little bitch) want the nomination for their own guy, and they feel like there's still hope of it happening. They'll feed this story as long as possible, making life within the party harder and harder.

This is great.

68 This is IDENTICAL to what happened with "Global Warming" Many environmentalists freely admitted at the time that the exaggerated hysteria over "global warming" was not meant to be taken literally, but was just a way of motivating people to join their cause and to force their political agenda through. They said, "If we didn't overstate it and act like it was a big emergency, we would never win hearts and minds; so we lie and announce the end of the world, not because the end if the world is coming, but because it's the only way to bully the rubes."

Well guess what happened/ ZERO rubes fell for your lies, but ALL leftists bought into them. So: The left only ended up tricking itself.

In the exact same way: NOBODY on the right ever accepted "believe all women," because i violated the Constitution (due process) and also was obviously total bullshit, since women lie just as often as men do. But guess what EVERYONE on the left embraced "believe all women," thinking it was some new law.

The left keeps inventing new schemes to enslave the right, but every single time it ends up blowing up in their faces.

140 I think the thread we're missing here that ties the whole thing together is the fact that Biden really thinks he's a charming, chivalrous bastard who women can't resist, and his decades of advocating for draconian, feminist-generated laws and policies favoring women has earned him a certain positive credit balance with the female sex that he's withdrawn from occasionally. But in his head the balance has always remained positive.
In candor, I think this is how leftists in general see this whole thing going back at least to Ted Kennedy and Clinton, so he's not totally off base here. He's pro abortion, and pro feminist-run star chambers and that's all that really matters since they're stuck with him now.

2) Men that used power to pressure woman to have sex with them in quid pro quos: all of Hollywood

3) Women that weren't happy with exes/past hookups that were fully consensual at the time.

As usual, we already have decent laws/regulations for this stuff that just aren't being enforced. For the first case we should be arresting people like Clinton. In the second we should be firing studio exes and the like as this is a violation of their fiduciary responsibilities and a violation of state laws.

If you continue to play the political opportunism card and it's the former then we will continue to shove that hypocrisy down your collective Leftist throats. And I don't care a whit whether Joey B or the next credibly accused Democrat that comes along gets a fair hearing or is innocent of all charges.

===========

He's not the best they could do by a long shot. A lot of the no name candidates would have been better.

The problem was that the field was too large for anyone to really gain enough traction against Biden's name recognition. And then, as the newest establishment favorite (from Harris to Buttigieg) faltered, Biden remained at or near the top of the pack.

Biden was their only real choice once he got in. The Establishment had to pick him after Harris spent months on the campaign trail only to get completely undone by a single exchange with Tulsi Gabbard.

This was the Republican primary of 2016 all over again. Name recognition won.

191 The #MeToo and #BelieveAllWomen business was invented as a weapon against horrible horrible men like Mike Pence and Brett Kavanaugh, men who inspire rabid hatred on The Left for their old fashioned views on treating women with respect.

It just shows how dumb The Left is, that they were unable to see that the men who routinely abuse women are just about all on The Left.

#BelieveAllWomen is Pandora's box and what it has unleashed will never be constrained again. Even a woman like Tara Reede, a democrat and team player, wants her revenge for being assaulted. It will all come out eventually.

197 "The job of being the vice presidential candidate is always hard and now it's just harder because of this. But they don't really have a choice," said Susannah Randolph, a top Florida progressive activist and former congressional candidate.

"The fact is, to be a running mate, you have to be a team player and step up where your team is weak or fill that role where they need you," she said. "This comes with the job."


Yep. Stepping up to the plate to protect a rapist is now the "job" of new applicants aiming to acquire the second highest Executive position in US Government. Forget about the hypocrisy of previous positions WRT "MeToo". Actual, proactive support of an (alleged) rapist - which I'm pretty certain, given Mr. Touchy-Feely's public displays over decades, is infinitely more fact than allegation - is the Standard upon which applicants must meet.

It's both shocking and not shocking at the same time.

Then, the only way it gets out is for PDT to clearly and concisely keep saying it in front of every camera he encounters.

This whole week has been a programmatic attempt to change the baseline for how Democrats can deal with their in-house rapes. I'm sure Rose McGowan was sitting in a lotus position maybe cutting having her mind blown watching this bullshit. It broke her.

Time's Up, this group is run by the Dems, by I believe that fat queen Barney Frank's sister.

That is the gateway for them to take in the info, digest it, then come up with a plan and work on project management to coordinate.

How is it that every media outlet is saying hte same thing, as usual.

They have rape defense industrialized. And that smelly witch Hillary rolling out her bobblehead was part of the defense, it's a threat going out to all the other women Joes defiled and ruined.

+++++++++++++
CO's death numbers legged up significantly on the 23rd - way outside of the norm (an increase of of 91 deaths, vs. 5-10 per day before and after).

I also just learned that CO has a "COVID-19 Health Equity Response Team" because:
People of color are disproportionately likely to be exposed to the virus in low-paying "essential" jobs; are more likely to have limited access to affordable healthcare, childcare, and transportation; are more likely to live in neighborhoods with high air pollution rates; and are more likely to face unsanitary conditions in prisons, jails, and detention centers. Due to these types of inequities, people of color face chronic disease health disparities, leaving them with a higher risk of dying due to COVID-19.

The MeToo movement was an over-correction.
---------------------------

No.

It was planned commie propaganda designed to subjugate and paralyze men at a time when it was presumed The Hag would be president. All criticism would therefore be quelled and silenced under an umbrella of men simply being "angry" at women speaking up.

Which was the identical playbook they had used under Obama. The commies ran with it because the pieces were in place - Hollywood had three+ years of planned "women" movies and TV ready to roll - the social stratification was still important to their movement, and they bet it could hurt Trump.

==========

I think they can foresee the wreckage of replacing Biden as well as I can.

I think the Establishment has resigned itself to Biden, hoping to make the best of it.

The problem is that the race isn't actually over. The noise in the party isn't coming from the Establishment, which is circling wagons around Biden, but from the activist wings of the party, namely the true believer feminists and Bernie's supporters (but not Bernie because he's a little bitch). They know there's opportunity to replace Biden within the rules. They just have to fight him by convincing him to drop out or getting the remaining primary voters to go against him.

Neither is terribly likely, but neither was the faithless elector bullshit and people tried that on for size anyway.

The timing of this feels designed to tear the party apart.

They don't have anyone.

Their new guard are almost uniformly from deep blue areas and have never had to campaign for anyone's votes who wouldn't automatically vote for a Democrat anyway.

Obama destroyed the party from the ground up, leaving a party that forgot how to appeal to anyone not a Democrat other than by screaming.

And, it looks like Trump may be making efforts to bite some heads off of the top of the Democratic Party within the next few months.

317 Obama destroyed the party from the ground up, leaving a party that forgot how to appeal to anyone not a Democrat other than by screaming. 

And, it looks like Trump may be making efforts to bite some heads off of the top of the Democratic Party within the next few months.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, back to random thoughts at April 30, 2020 04:21 PM (UWqZJ)

One man couldn't enforce total incompetence on his faction even if he wanted to, at least by himself. What Obama did was loot heritage America for eight years, believing (with some cause) that he had a majority which would keep pushing Republicans to the left and eventually lead to a one-party state. What he didn't know was that the supposed clown opposition, Donald Trump, was actually an incredibly determined and intelligent man who loved the American nation. And when you go all-in, using a coup and corrupting law enforcement beyond hope of salvage, you run a risk of losing ALL the stakes you placed on the table.

They're not going to replace him. I can't see it happening because the damage to the party would be greater with that move than it would be to stay with Joe.

If they were to, I don't know. Cuomo has a boomlet at the moment. Why not him?

But, you'll notice, that none of the whispering is EVER about Bernie even though he has the second most delegates. That's why they won't break the rules, because they won't give the nomination to the guy who arguably has the best claim to it after Biden, Bernie.

However, I don't believe he could find his ass with both hands. The thought that this is the person representing me while trillions of dollars are being raised and spent keeps me awake at night. He's a solid as a rock conservative, but there are smart conservatives then there are conservatives like him.

H.4.1 just dropped. They've slowed down and only printed another $100B last week. Balance sheet stands at $6.62T.

Smoking over, the actual physical currency outstanding is now $1.9T.

And the federal government's "checking account" at the Fed now has over $1T in digi-cash in it.

Note that Uncle Sam's cash is M0 money, and any money being held in this account doesn't count toward the monetary base. M0 would jump over $1T if the feds spent all that money.

I need to look at the Treasury statements and see what's going on there.

415 Bank Hapoalim (Switzerland) Pleads Guilty and Bank Hapoalim B.M. Enters into Deferred Prosecution Agreement for Criminal Misconduct; Agree to Pay Nearly $875 Million

Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jeffrey A. Rosen, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States, Richard E. Zuckerman, the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department's Tax Division, and Don Fort, the Chief of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation ("IRS-CI"), announced today the guilty plea of Bank Hapoalim (Switzerland) Ltd. and entry of criminal charges against Bank Hapoalim B.M. for conspiring with U.S. taxpayers and others to hide more than $7.6 billion in more than 5,500 secret Swiss and Israeli bank accounts and the income generated in these accounts from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS").

As part of today's resolutions, along with resolutions entered into with state and federal partners, Bank Hapoalim B.M. ("BHBM"), Israel's largest bank, and its Swiss subsidiary Bank Hapoalim (Switzerland) Ltd. ("BHS") (collectively, the "Bank"), agreed to pay approximately $874.27 million to the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the New York State Department of Financial Services. Today's resolution is the second-largest recovery by the Department of Justice in connection with its investigations since 2008 into facilitation of offshore U.S. tax evasion by foreign banks. Officers of BHBM and BHS appeared on behalf of the Bank to enter the guilty plea before U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil.

Dee Snyder refers to his house as "The House that Celine Built". Why? Because he wrote a song for his wife. After years of metal he couldn't sing it because it was out of his range. He hired a group to sing it for the wifey. The same song came to the attention of Celine Dion who wanted to record it. Snyder was struggling financially at the time and told the folks that made the deal NOT to tell Ms. Dion who wrote the song thinking she might change her mind about recording it. The song was recorded and was a pretty big hit and the royalties paid for Dee Snyder's house.
What song? A Christmas song called The Magic of Christmas Day.

Oh sweet baby Jesus, Joseph and Mary. Do you know how much new debt the federal govt. has shit out this month?

Debt held by the public has increased over the past month....You'd better sit down. Take a big swig of Jack Daniels. Or hell, if you've got some oxycodone, take a a couple of those.

The federal govt has issued a total of $1.17T in new debt in the last month alone. Debt held by the public stands at $18.93T.

It increased 1.1T in one month.

Now, that's the real money borrowed from the bond market. If you throw in the fake trust funds, known as intragovernmental debt (which is just accouting fiction), total public debt stands at $24.85T.

Now, it appears they aren't spending it, 'cause Uncle has over $1T in the fed account.

They've been issuing debt like crazy and just parking the cash in the fed "checking account".

476 Comey says it is above his pay grade to be sure the FBI followed the law and written procedures.

Comey also said "court-ordered surveillance" but then said that it was "too hard" to get a FISA the right way, so let's get the court to order it.

And Chris Plante has said "Court-ordered surveillance" was an Orwellian term. It's not like the court suddenly issues an order saying "Watch that guy".

Comey avoided saying "court-approved", because somebody else is the agent of something that "gets approved".

I don't know...

I really believe we can shoot for more. Out of all the people in my district, I know there are honest, intelligent people who are proven problem solvers. People who can read and understand a certain level of legaleze and who can out think their ambitious staffers.

For my part, I don't think for a moment that all the people in congress are thieves and crooks. I'm certain that the majority are honest and want the best for the country. However, there is a total disconnect between who would be best in the office and who gets elected.

Posted by: Gref at April 30, 2020 04:50 PM

But it takes time. They work with hollywood producers, moguls, directors on how to set this crap up. TV spots with music then rounds on talk shows then coordinated talking points all released in a specific sequence to build the narrative. It's a whole production. And they focus group it all with Karens before the big screen.

My fault. I used the word "snatch."

She may or may not be more truthful that Blassie-Ford, but she's not really any more useful.

I have no idea what the fuck they're doing. $1.1T of new debt, and just parking it. Interest rate (for Uncle Sam) are about 0, call it. Might as well be. Fed takes care of that.

I just wonder if this some coordination with the Fed to try to keep the money supply from blowing up. Fed is shitting money everywhere into private sector areas, and I wonder if they're trying to counter that somehow.

I have no idea why the fuck you borrow $1T cash in a month and just park it.
