Obama-Connected Democrat Operative Van Jones Smiles as He Admits the "Affordability" Op Was, In Pure Obama Fashion, an Organized Astroturf Campaign
Running an astroturf operation? With Concerned Christian Conservatives fretting about whatever the Democrats' Fake Issue of the Day is? Where have I heard this before?Jones admitted that the economy really isn't as bad as portrayed, and that the Democrats knew this (surprise!), but rather than simply program their candidates and campaigns with duplicitous messaging, they took it several steps further. And the Republicans never figured it out. Jones told Collins how the Democrats discreetly organized tens of thousands of people to serve as chartered trolls as part of the "American Accountability Network." Jones did not make clear whether these people were compensated or not.I'm pretty sure they were.
"The Republicans never figured out what we were doing," Jones said in-studio to a smiling Collins. "There's something called the American Accountability Network (AAN), tens of thousands of online humans, not bots, coordinated to make the affordability message a winning message online. 32.5 million people hit on Instagram every day. 88.8 million hit on Twitter, X, every single day. And 185 million Facebook hits every single day. And they never figured it out." "The Republicans could not understand it wasn't bots. It was actual human beings," he said.They are bots. Human-shaped bots. Tim O'Brien adds:
He added that Democrats were having trouble getting any "traction" on culture war issues, but thanks to the AAN, the left "figured out how to get around all that."Witch-faced shill Kaitlin Collins had no negative commentary on an admitted massive disinformation campaign, but instead was "fascinated."
Collins found all of this "fascinating." Of course, it's fascinating when Democrats do it, but if Republicans did it, it would be criminal to Collins and her ilk.Video at the link.

The AAN was similar to a ROLEPLAY operation in its way, if you gave me 50 million and let me hire say 1500 roleplayers I could flood the zone and run a messaging campaign with doctors, lawyers, accountants, concerned mothers, teachers....you'd never know the difference.

This was obvious. But as usual our side had no response at all, let alone a counterattack.
Hell, too many of us actually bought into the "affordability" op.
If some of us fall for the enemy's propaganda campaign, imagine how effective it works on the LIVs and moderate softbrains.
The GOP will learn nothing from this.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar
Hegseth decries "putting people with ideological agendas in charge of institutions"
---
Are people getting so stupid that they do not know what an "ideology" is?
An "ideology" is "Hey! I have a Great Idea which should overwrite everything other people were taking to have worked reasonably well in the past!"
It very seldom pays off over a reasonably tuned practice of that office.
"Hey! Maybe the Department of War ought to be more focused on readiness" is the ANTITHESIS of ideology.
It's fucking Common Sense (however common that is.)
Hey, maybe the body shouldn't be producing the product the virus wants!

we have lil Benny Shapiro screaming 1/2 step to my right is a Nazi......

That, of course, is for "Democracy's sake". Because that's what you do when saving democracy--take it out of the hands of the rabble. Who "do not vote their own interest" (long standing Marxist ploy).

Again, I don't think the election turned on messaging, the donks simply conjured millions of more ballots than is normal for a mid-term.
The GOP got typical mid-term numbers.
As I said, from here on out, the GOP has to treat every election as a maximal GOTV ELE operation.

I saw an interesting exchange. Someone argued "If Democrats could lower costs of living then every blue city in America would already be affordable"
The leftist responses?
1) They are in fact more affordable! Why as long as I split rent with 4 other guys I have a home and food!
2) They are in fact more affordable! My no show NGO job pays enough so that my life partner and I can buy anything we wants!
3) Of course cities are unaffordable unlike the burbs...because of Trump/capitalism/Republicans/rich people (which I guess aren't in the burbs/rural areas?)
4) Of course cities are unaffordable because taxes aren't high enough
And yes as per usual the people with these largely oppositional theories all agreed with each other.

Guess what else they did with millions of people they recruited this past election? Voted.
Sure, some people voted on issues just as always. Trump voters turned out, the numbers prove it. Democrats spent a year recruiting new voters, the numbers show that as well. And that was the wave.
Too many people are still obsessing over whether it was Iran or the price of eggs or super mean ICE. It was NGOs spending a billion dollars to find new voters under very lax registration rules.

"They are bots. Human-shaped bots."
Most likely in India, at that.
If the WH is dumb enough to try and run with amnesty, I think I am just legit done with the party entirely. Even the muddled stuff coming out is risking mass defections. If this is some Dem op they need to get on top of it.
Everyone knows there is no such thing as "yeah we will close the border but do amnesty". Bullshit. Keep kicking them out or go down swinging in the attempt, because we can't take 15, 20, 25 million more and possibly can't even keep it together with what Biden let in.
Every fucking week it is one more family killed by an illegal driver, one more illegal shooting people, one more illegal kidnapping and raping girls. Enough is enough. We are in one of the least "diverse" places in the US and still can't escape it.

It just cements my opinion the Republicans are losers and always will be. They play to lose.

I have been saying since June there is an extremely devious psy op happening, perhaps as evil and twisted as COVID. It was obvious when the DSA "appeared" put of thin air to magically solve every problem the DNC had claimed it had while somehow still being it's mortal enemy.
I thought Trump might be able to deal with it in the public square as he has beaten them back before. Unfortunately whatever operation I saw and detailed repeatedly here, has landed on us quicker and perhaps even more thoroughly than I had feared. I thought it was battlespace prep for 2028 and in a way, it was.
All I'm saying is what I've been saying but maybe a little more urgently. Things are about to get WEIRD. Whatever you think you know about our politics and our system and likely our culture is gonna get turned on its head, probably not in a way you have ever experienced.
Gird, prepare, fight, and most of all ffs, just see it for what it is.

I don't know if I can blame the Republicans for all of this..
There is a point when Americans might be too Dumb to think for themselves because the iPhone told them everything SUCKS but, I am doing quite well under the Trump Economy ...
They used to call TV "THE BOOB TUBE" and I do not mean Pam Anderson's Baywatch Hooters !!!
It appears that Americans minds are like a Floppy Disk that can be erased and used over and over again with new Bogus Info and the system (Brain) believes the data without really analyzing the data.

The People wanted "affordability!"
Democrats: Ha! You fucked up! You trusted us!
Every hard leftwing forum I've gone to as the same general story:
Affordability is going to get worse because of course you can't solve the problem in 2 years, also we don't care about affordability because we need to get Trump first. Then we can jack up taxes and ban fossil fuels which is obviously what people voted for

I knew this was "Who's saying the word 'Affordability' more?!"
It's like when Walter Mondale started using the word 'Future' to catch up to Reagan, because when they polled Reagan's popularity among the young, it came back "He talks about the Future."
He came from the Carter "Our best days may be behind us" administration.
"Messaging" that's what the Democrats call it.
That's their goal.

Glenn Beck is many things, but I'm glad he was instrumental in getting a scalp, and getting Van Jones out of Obama's inner WH circle. I'm sure the WH team still consulted with Jones, but we the taxpayers were no longer paying his salary. I can't remember who took over the "Green Jobs Czar" gig after Jones was ousted. Someone just as horrible.
I looked it up, apparently Jones was ousted for calling Republicans "assholes." In our modern era were conservatives are all Nazis, that almost sounds quaint. It was probably just bad timing and optics at the time, to have the lightbringer, if-they-go-low-we-go-high aura have someone in his inner circle hurling insults.
The scary thing about Jones is he can be reasonable and rational. He's a true believer, but he is willing to call halt on the dem crazy train when it's going too fast over the cliff. He CAN read the room, when forced to.

Saves a pic from Google Images that was AI generated (not of a child), sends it over Facebook messenger to his wife while they're discussing clothes to buy.
Facebook reports it to police and his devices are seized. The UK is unwell.
So if I'm understanding the story, someone used AI to generate a sexy, half dressed image of an adult Mexican actress, the guy posting this then found and sent the picture to his wife and he's being arrested because the UK has some law against generating AI created sexy pictures of real people?

Under Biden, Democrats cheered while his administration didn't just make gas more expensive than it ever was under Trump, they tried to ban gas powered cars and trucks. Literally eliminate them.
Do you really think the same people were outraged that gas spike temporarily because Trump was taking down the leading state sponsor of terror that has been killing Americans for nearly 50 years?

They'll tell you Donald Trump is a glamorous popular celebrity when he's donating to the Clintons, and that he's a racist old stumblebum when he runs against them.
They'll tell you Afghanistan is the good war when Obama's pulling out of Iraq, and it's a bad one when Biden is done with it next.
They'll tell you Joe Rogan is a smart truth-teller when he's going off about aliens and endorsing Bernie Sanders, but he's a dumb fuckin' meathead when he's going off about COVID and endorsing Donald Trump.
It's the same shit every day, and it depends on all of us believing the Current Year narrative.
So far, it works.

Prices are likely to never come down. They skyrocketed after the Biden administration printed 2.5 trillion dollars for Build Back Better. 2.5 trillion is roughly 10 percent of all dollars ever printed in the history of country. Good thing they fixed all of our infrastructure with all of that money... Oh wait, they didn't fix shit with that money... Where did it all go?
We won't see prices fall until we have significant GDP growth while simultaneously NOT printing more money.

Because that was an easier lift. Before Trump did much moderating, when he was fresh in the race, he mentioned that he chose Republican as his party because his research suggested that we were the most underserved.
He did nothing if not prove that threefold.

The commies have a well diversified fraud portfolio that they have been perfecting since at least 2018.
It was a very effectively run machine in 2026.

Politics is always the fight for winning over public opinion...if republicans are bad at this that's their own problem. They tend to have no balls and play the game like the emasculated honest simp, in an arena filled with opportunists who play to win, that doesn't work.
"It's your fault for not using foreign trolls to AstroTurf social media while we accuse of you foreign election interference literally every day." Is quite a take.
We learned it from watching you. The democrats mirrored the troll strategy Trump innovated , and they did it without targeting an out group like a race of gender.
LIE about affordability? How much is a tank of gas in St Petersburg, Boris? Trump started a fucking war with Iran that skyrocketed gas and diesel and slapped tariffs on everything coming into the country, and THAT made prices rise.
Y'all gotta get over the midterms and look inward if you want to understand why you got bluekakke'd

Again, I don't think the election turned on messaging, the donks simply conjured millions of more ballots than is normal for a mid-term.
The GOP got typical mid-term numbers.
As I said, from here on out, the GOP has to treat every election as a maximal GOTV ELE operation.

Prices are not going to drop. Not the general price level anyway, it never does.
Affordability will be felt when wage growth outpaces inflation for a few years.

Again, the relative price of things can never come down once they have inflated absent some other extraneous factor.
It's why we're not paying 15k for houses or 5 cents for eggs as we were in say the 40's.
And the prices of things and what people can afford is tied to levels of taxation and scarcity.
It's why 64gb of ddr 5 is now 1000 bucks.
If the ai bubble bursts, it'll be back to 150 bucks.

Five ways to lower prices:
1) Increases in productivity. This is a slow ongoing process you can't juice
2) Lower taxes
3) Lower the cost of energy
4) Lower inflation/government spending
5) Lower government regulations
Which of those 5 is the left claiming they are going to do?

Instead of seeing the con behind inflated gas prices and for which political side Big Oil was "gouging" them, they'd rather write it off to a senator-elect doing ...something... that would not really be his office to do.
And they just do not pick up on clues too well.

People were taught to feel uneasy about Israel, Jewish influence, and Trump's war on Iran.
Then they were provided an acceptable outlet for their unease: complaining about affordability. Why is Trump spending "our" money abroad, instead of helping poor Americans at home?
It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma, which has no logical explanation (for the indoctrinated and for the victims of propaganda; otherwise it's pretty easy).
The discomfort caused by this idea cannot be mentioned in polite company, but affordability can be used as a byword for it.
Even if people feel guilty about this line of reasoning, the shame actually helps with the persuasion.
Leftists are doing a sort of mind rape and the victims are mostly too ashamed to admit it. Thus, they persuade themselves that it must be love.

Collins found all of this "fascinating." Of course, it's fascinating when Democrats do it, but if Republicans did it, it would be criminal to Collins and her ilk.

Dems figured that to bamboozle enough voters to win, they'd have to do the bamboozling themselves, since CNN, MSN, and the MSM were obviously unfit for the task.
But, teamwork makes the dream work, so Collins chalked it up as a win for Team Communism.

To repair the prices, you have to reduce the money supply, but that means bursting the bubble that lets Boomers pretend their 401ks were a good idea.

I had an odd and infuriating argument with chat gpt (I know, I know)
I was asking if the recent stock market up was people trying to take advantage of the likely coming increases in inflation and it argued that inflation is going to come down because....Trump's tariffs will be restricted/removed and tariffs are inflationary because they raise the cost of products.
I pointed out taxes can't be inflationary be definition and pointed out a new tax on bread, for example, would raise the cost of bread but no one would call that inflation and it agreed but then argued tariffs were different then other taxes for...reasons.
So then I asked did inflation go up or down when Trump put in his tariffs. Down. So what does that do to your argument? Uh, well, uh...but tariffs are the only tax that is inflationary.

So then I asked did inflation go up or down when Trump put in his tariffs. Down. So what does that do to your argument? Uh, well, uh...but tariffs are the only tax that is inflationary.

"Jones admitted that the economy really isn't as bad as portrayed, and that the Democrats knew this (surprise!), but rather than simply program their candidates and campaigns with duplicitous messaging, they took it several steps further. And the Republicans never figured it out. Jones told Collins how the Democrats discreetly organized tens of thousands of people to serve as chartered trolls as part of the "American Accountability Network." Jones did not make clear whether these people were compensated or not."
Bloomberg and CNBC should have absolutely known better. On one side of their mouths they were scaring the pants of the electorate with their incessant 'affordability' deathwatch. On the other they were mystified by the strength of the Trump economy. When the two sets conflicted, they always deferred to fear and the Dems.
I can't trust any financial news outlet anymore - they're too conflicted. Too many reporters who simply hate capitalism. That goes double for the WSJ.

They are going to "whip the horse's eyes to make it sleep", to borrow from Jim Morrison.
I have seen any number of Dems demand that businesses take a cost and NOT pass it on to consumers.
Ruining everybody's IRA in the process, though.
The Dems were the ones who created the correction after Enron to tighten Mark-2-Market which for accounting "responsibility" purposes denies the chief value of investment: unrealized gain or loss.
Enron created a problem, so they hit it with a sledge hammer which contributed greatly to the 2007 collapse. Especially after the NGOs stopped acting like a charity and buying up all the bad housing debt.
Just dumb-dumbfucks.

Now, the funny thing is if you follow through what would happen if he got this through is the CC companies would just stop offering cards to anyone with a low credit score (and probably people that pay them off every month too)
Which amusingly might not be a terrible thing. There are very, very few things you can justify buying if you have to put them on a CC...

Considering every plank of the Democrst Party platform is designed to make things more expensive, the fact that they were trying to run on "adfordability" was laughable.
--
"Affordability" was never about policy or policy changes:
It was Covid Checks 2.0.
All of their voters know that is the next proposal.
And Trump is well-confirmed to be the proverbial prostitute "just negotiating the price" on that.
So no, the Dems won't get bogged down in impeachment/investigation theater:
1) They, unlike Republicans, can chew gum and kick ass at the same time
2) and when they've collected a few scalps, they'll spring "rebate" checks to all

And yet, an astroturf campaign only works if there's some truth to it...
Gas prices were intrinsicly and noticeably high.
Utility prices/electric bills were noticeably high.
Groceries were not cheaper and landmark products, like beef, were high..
Health insurance/car insurance/housing and rental insurances were notiecably high.
Raises were noticeably low.
So, whether the campaign of pain was real, it would have been ignored if it didn't have a ring of truth for the average person. People blow off fake news all the time...this wasn't completely fake. It was exagerrated, but still real for many.

159 Witch-faced shill Kaitlin Collins had no negative commentary on an admitted massive disinformation campaign, but instead was "fascinated."
Collins found all of this "fascinating." Of course, it's fascinating when Democrats do it, but if Republicans did it, it would be criminal to Collins and her ilk.

Dems figured that to bamboozle enough voters to win, they'd have to do the bamboozling themselves, since CNN, MSN, and the MSM were obviously unfit for the task.
But, teamwork makes the dream work, so Collins chalked it up as a win for Team Communism.

Trump is delivering long-term structural improvement to this country. The Dems will try to take credit for it, but they cannot earn it. All of their players were around two years ago today, when Joe Biden was President!

Prices have gone down on a lot of stuff, and inflation has stabilized since before Trump was even elected. But its easy to convince people that they are being screwed over and even if they aren't suffering other people must be because of all the complaints.
All the videos of people on their latest I Phone in their new car clearly well fed with salon hair and painted nails whining that they cannot afford to east or pay rent were so bizarre: clearly none of that is true.
But the truth is, American people do not have the patience or willingness to fight that we used to. When Reagan reached his midterms, the economy still sucked, hard. In places like Oregon the unemployment and inflation rates were OVER 20%. But people were willing to give Reagan a shot and by 1984, he'd turned everything around.
Nobody gives it time any more. You have about six months on the outside to make everything totally better or you're out.

Last week Taco Bell
1 bean burrito + 1 soft taco = $7.04
I just went to Taco Bell and handed the teenage girl behind the counter a $50 bill. She took the money, laid it on the counter, and used a marker to check if it was real or fake. Then she told me, “Mister, I can’t accept this money; it’s counterfeit! See the dark line? That means it’s fake!”
I was shocked and said, “Wow, this money came straight from the bank!” She handed it back, and I gave her another $50 bill.
She marked it, looked at it, and said, “Yep, this one’s fake too. We might have to call the cops.”
I was like, “WOW! Both of my $50 bills are fake?” At this point, I looked closer. “Lady, you're using a Sharpie?”
She took a long look at the marker and said, “Yes, that's all I have.”
I feel like our society is doomed...

Speaking of Bernie's proposal's he's got a fun one...limit credit card interest rates to a max of 10%.
"Because we shouldn't allow predatory interest rates!"
------
Its always fun to ask the economically illiterate questions like "What do you like about 10%, but hate about 9% or 11%?".

195 >>Gas prices were intrinsicly and noticeably high.
Utility prices/electric bills were noticeably high.
Groceries were not cheaper and landmark products, like beef, were high..
Health insurance/car insurance/housing and rental insurances were notiecably high.
All of this is true and has been true for 6 Years.

"Because we shouldn't allow predatory interest rates!"
Now, the funny thing is if you follow through what would happen if he got this through is the CC companies would just stop offering cards to anyone with a low credit score (and probably people that pay them off every month too)
Which amusingly might not be a terrible thing. There are very, very few things you can justify buying if you have to put them on a CC...
Posted by: 18-1 at November 10, 2026 01:54 PM (sKqQm)
_________
It would be much better if CC rates were dependent on your individual credit score, like most other interest rates are.
But all CC rates are very high, even if you are at very low risk of not making the payment. Why? Because of all the deadbeats. The "good" cardholders are subsidizing the deadbeats.
My solution? I pay in full every month. I use the card for convenience and airline miles.

IF we were building a brand new party and wanted only the most sensible and conservative people running it, I don't know that we'd invite Burchett to join. I'm not impressed. And it goes without saying I despise Thune.

There is no way that Thune should be asking for an election for Leader right now. At the very least it should wait for all the voter-rejected RINOs to be gone from the Senate before a vote is held.

Heh, once the CC companies then cut off the low credit people and only offer them to the high credit people, Bernie would then want to mandate them to issue cards to everybody, which would then kill all CC in the US, but still available to other countries. Winning!
CC companies may just decide to charge more to the retailers instead I suppose, but that would just increase prices. Also Winning!

But this is another example of the right/GOP stuck in 2003 when saying the “s” word and promising tax cuts was effective.

Dems always seem to be one step ahead when it comes to propaganda and its dissemination, probably because it's what they live and breath.

Goebbels is probably even taking a break from fanning the flames off himself in Hell to stare in awe at their propaganda machine and how well it works.

Inflation-adjusted (real) wages in the U.S. fell in 2026.
Headline Decline: From the year prior through September 2026, real average hourly earnings decreased by 0.7%, with real weekly earnings also slipping into negative territory.
Primary Driver: The decline was caused by headline inflation (3.7%) outpacing nominal wage growth (3.0–3.6%), largely due to a 34.2% surge in gasoline prices and a 20.4% rise in energy costs.
Core Inflation Exception: When excluding volatile food and energy prices, core inflation remained at approximately 2.6%, meaning wages actually grew faster than core prices during this period.
Historical Context: This marks the first time since April 2023 that inflation has consistently outpaced wage growth, erasing the real wage gains accumulated earlier in the year and reversing the positive trends seen in 2024 and early 2025. You may now continue.

Self-care and prevention
Limiting or avoiding alcohol and drugs.
Alcohol and drugs can decrease blood flow to the penis and interfere with messengers in the brain during arousal. Over time, alcohol consumption can reduce testosterone levels also.
Not smoking or using tobacco products.
Smoking can cause plaque to build up in arteries throughout the body. This can cause poor blood supply to the penis.
Controlling your blood sugar level if you have diabetes.
Elevated blood sugar levels cause nerve and blood vessel damage, which significantly affects the ability to achieve an erection.
Seeking help to cope with anxiety or depression.
Erectile dysfunction can result from depression, stress, anxiety or fatigue, so managing these conditions may reduce your erectile disfunction symptoms.

I’m very interested in how the hell gas prices dropped 30-50 cents in my area here in California the day after the midterms. That was surreal.
--
I was out just a little while ago. In upstate SC, gas has dropped almost 50 cents since 11/3. Kind of like it was coordinated and planned somehow to make Trump look bad.

IF the GOPE beltway twerps didnt prefer to be the minority they would have been coaching every R candidate to turn this right back on the Dems. "We agree that americans are still in an affordability pinch after Biden's 20% inflation, we are working with Trump to continue real wage growth to catch up with prices, and we ask voters to remember which party caused this problem and stick with us to get it fixed rather than voting for the party that will offer extra aid to illegals to help them with gas prices and leave you the productive voters high and dry".
But that would have required the GOPE to want to win, damned backstabbing fools. Do they stupidly think they'll still get to hang out in DC if the DSA gets full control?

I got mocked by someone I will leave nameless because he isn't here for trying to talk about how Dems are always onto the next war, how they propagandize, how their lockstep messaging is evidence of insanely disciplined coordination.
"Oh you think everything is a crazy conspiracy, now watch how black people take democrats down because Jasmine Crockett acted insulted!"

I love when folks give me more credit that I should have
. if only someone paid me to do any of that...
I said all of this in May...Iran needed to end and gas/beef/electric prices needed to come down and a good news story per day needed to be widespread from the White House for the 250th (aka, the social media that Dems turned out)...we went 0-3 on doing anything I suggested. So, I guess I am a peon. Shucks.
But it would be something to get a midlife crisis and get picked up to do crazy stuff like the unrealistic TV shows/movies. I can be a good Mary Sue.

Nah, I chalk it up to the shift from Sense -> Sympathy.
This is a widespread migration. This is why you can't even say that Clancy is guilty of killing her children, because what if she was suffering and couldn't help it?
Not that the case is reasonable, but you have to consider emotional doubts as well.
Feminine "Sympathy" is killing reason-based law.
Everywhere.
Not that Male-administered law has always been an exercise in reason. Far from it. The Good-ol-boy network of the South definitely testifies to corruption of it.
But that was some form of pragmatics eclipsing the the impartial application of law.
It was not a replacement theory of "a reasonable doubt". Even as a syndrome, it was a corruption of an individual system. It was a crime committed under the guise of the basis of law.

"99 Prices are likely to never come down. They skyrocketed after the Biden administration printed 2.5 trillion dollars for Build Back Better. 2.5 trillion is roughly 10 percent of all dollars ever printed in the history of country. Good thing they fixed all of our infrastructure with all of that money... Oh wait, they didn't fix shit with that money... Where did it all go?
We won't see prices fall until we have significant GDP growth while simultaneously NOT printing more money.

stopping inflation doesn't lowwr prices, and deflation is ruinous for moneyed interests so it is avoided at all costs
when the dollar loaes value, it'a gone. it is not coming back. at best other cuerencies lose more, or specific goods lose value or are lower cost to produce.
the powers that be have GUTTED the dollar and it is not coming back
