Now That Jake Tapper's New Grift is Peddling a Book About the Democrat Party's Cover-Up of Biden's Dementia, He's Actually Asking Democrats About Their Lies

Jake Tapper lied too, of course --as did the entire leftwing media.

Biden is a Super Ager!
Posted by: Every Mainstream Media Outlet!

The media is in survival mode as it attempts, again, to claim they never really lied to you about Biden's mental acuity. Just as they never really lied to you about the origins of Anthony Fauci's killer frankenvirus, or the efficacy of masking, social distancing, and lockdowns, or Hunter Biden's laptop, or "a video-maker did a Benghazi" or "if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance."

See, the media was always skeptical of these claims. They certainly didn't repeat them like applause lines at a political convention and attack anyone who questioned them, and they definitely didn't lobby social media platforms and the government itself to deplatform and censor anyone questioning them.

Walz acting like a politician… It’s Tapper pretending this was obvious to the entire country when he was a major part of the cover up. He has no honor. None. https://t.co/ybfVMqTdl4

Scott Jennings reminds his colleagues at CNN the depths of the coverup of Joe Biden's mental decline:
Scott Jennings: "These [Biden] books, seeing that video of Kamala Harris and then these videos of Tim Walz the last few days, boy did we dodge a bullet, lord have mercy.
It can all be told now:
I sat here all during the campaign and was assured that Joe Biden was fine.
Kamala Harris had the most organic grassroots driven campaign
The Democrats were unified
We had a campaign of joy
Everything was hunky dory
That's what I was told night after night: Now the [Biden] books are coming out.
Our own government from the White House podium lied to us about his condition, covered it up.
We lived through the biggest scandal in modern American politics, yes John Avlon."
The collective amnesia amongst certain complicit media members around their lack of reporting of Biden's decline makes me wonder if Biden's dementia was contagious.

Note that Scott Jennings gets a paycheck from CNN and is officially forbidden from criticizing CNN or any of its "journalists."

He does kind of hint at it, though.

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past," according to George Orwell in 1984.

The media used to control the past. The public has finally stopped believing them. From 2008-2024, the media and Democrat Deep State Party reacted to the public's increasing skepticism of them by censoring all critics and honest brokers.

The 2024 election took that power away from them, and they have no idea what to do next.

They're certainly not going to admit any blame or complicity, as Fake Jake Tapper proves in his absolutely audacious decision to sign up as co-author on a book blaming Biden's coterie of advisors, and definitely not the media, for the greatest political psyop in American history.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

"Sure, they were mislead by Democrat partisans back then, to the point of denying obvious truths that people outside of the power structure could easily figure out. But that doesn't mean that they're wrong about anything now. In fact, their admission of accidentally getting it wrong then means that they're more trustworthy now!"

I think 2016 took it away from them. They called Trump literally Hitler, and the people elected him anyway.

2020 was a seesaw between the people giving it back by believing the covid histeria and then the press having to panic when the people stopped believing by about May/June. And then the government had to threaten people with jail for questioning an obviously stolen election.

It's been fumes ever since, at best.

Oh fuck that.

You knew. Your bosses knew. Your viewers knew. Analysts knew. The man on the street knew. Anyone casually glancing at things knew. There was no "cover-up." A "cover-up" presupposes that covering it up is possible. It wasn't. There wasn't even a failed *attempted* cover up. It was just lies. It was too obvious obvious to cover up, and it was obvious to everyone who cared to look. So blatant, bald-faced lies it was.

Y'all had no choice but to look - looking is your job - and so you knew. Nothing so blindingly obvious to literally everybody could have been invisible to you. You all in the press chose to believe (or act as though you believed) the lie, and to lambaste anyone who told the truth. Your crew chose to carry water for the Party and engage in every possible malicious action against anyone who questioned the obviously-false Party line.

There was no deception.

And that is, to a point, fair.

It was not just the media. The media doesn't really exist as its own thing, it's just a wing of the vast state/party/media/industry/academic system that I usually just abbreviate to "The Complex."

Well, the Complex did this. It would, in fact, be unfair to pin it entirely on the press. The press is not guiltless and should be punished - and I would argue, should be completely destroyed - as a result of this and countless other ignominies over the years, but they are not alone. The Big Bad Press didn't do this. They were put one cog in the infernal machine that made it possible.

56 Personally, I like balance and find it hard to trust sources that are completely 100% one sided. Which means the Democrats, and sites like yours hold no real value. Yes, I come here. Mostly for the overnight threads and the morning tech write up and see this crap instead.

Nominally, I would have just moved on, but the one thing that caught my attention was the comment about the lockdown, and the fact that no where is there any derision for Trump being the father of the lockdowns, in this write up or any other.

You would gain quite a bit of credibility if you were more even handed. As it has become, I usually read any of your political rants and think the opposite must be true.

Actually, I dispute that.

FOr the something to be "the greatest," it had to actually work, to some degree.

But literally NO ONE believes the psyop that Biden was dementia-free.

Here at AoS Ace posted about it daily, commenters noted it minute by minute -- and that was also true of every right-leaning blog.

Trump himself referred to it constantly, either overtly or through implication.

So at least half the nation NEVER believed the psyop, not fo rone minute.

Now we see that even the "thought-leaders" on the left, the nes perpetrating the lie, never believed it either.

The only sorta-believers were the 15% of voters who are hardcore Kool-Aidn drinking leftist, who habitaully fall for their side's own propagandas, even when no one else beleives it.

But thi 15% dmographic fall for anything and everything, so them falling for this s]pysop si nothing suprising.

I'd call it the biggest bald-faced lie in American history, but not the biggest successfiul psyop.

Newsom, well, *maybe* but I doubt the DNC is stupid enough. He's handsome and pedigreed, but he has a track record *begging* for constant attack, and he's a Californian which means his odds of playing nationally are very slim.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Tx), and former WH Doctor:

“I’ve known him for a long time; he’s part of the Biden family. He would do or say anything to cover up and protect that family, regardless of what it meant professionally for him,” he added. “This could not have been covered up without him — and Jill Biden — in particular.

The reclusive O’Connor, who told The Post Biden’s mental fitness was “excellent” just four days after his boss was forced out of the 2024 race, was asked last year to come in for questioning before the GOP-led House Oversight Committee, though it’s unclear if he ever responded to the voluntary request.

It reminds me of the Republican field pre-Trump.

On paper, strongish personalities, moving outside of the three to include people like Shapiro and Whitmer, but none of them have strong national footing anywhere while many have serious issues with large sections within the party.

It leaves the "next in line" who has the only clear path to a nomination.

And that's weak shit.

A billionaire could walk in himself or back someone to the hilt with a message along the lines of, "Kick out all the illegals. Use that savings to pay for single payer healthcare," and run away with the nomination. It won't make a lick of economic sense, but it'll be real popular.

And the establishment will hate it because they want illegal immigration more than anything.

An outside disruptor is possible, but their main target needs to be Obama and Biden, not Trump.

Our Deep State painted us in to this corner.

There's no natural reason we're so reliant on China. We just decided to export all of our manufacturing and jobs there. We could undo it, but it will not be quick or painless.

China does not want us to undo it, their longterm plan to surpass us as the world power involves a continuous massive transfer of wealth from the West to China.

We SHOULD undo it, but unfortunately, that will take a long time. In the meantime, China better hope that Trump is bluffing here, or everyone is going to get fucked. But in the medium and long term, China gets way more fucked in any trade war than we do.

That was one of the things that p*ssed me off the most. First time i voted was 1988; i actually researched candidates. I knew Biden was a moron very early on; just from watching a few interviews; all the sincerity of the worst stereotype of a used cars sales man...but oh, he could talk; he could talk the paint off a door; and he spoke very very quickly and 80% of what he said was bullsh*t...AND THERE WAS NO F***ING STUTTER.

Philly was reported from hundreds to thousands turning out, i.e., NBC10, Thousands join ‘Hands Off' protest against Trump Administration..." CBS, Local News
Hundreds in Philadelphia join nationwide "Hands Off!" protest to voice concerns over Trump, Elon Musk

>Delaware County, PA - Organizers of the Delaware County Hands Off! rally estimated at least 1,200 people showed up Saturday for the event at the county courthouse in Media.

In part, "The local rally was part of a national pushback against the job-cutting and cost-slashing moves of the Trump administration and the president’s adviser Elon Musk.

Indivisible Delco said in a press release that “While some of our neighbors may cheer that Musk is slashing the federal workforce and eliminating agencies, there will be long term, harmful consequences. Many fundamental, hard won freedoms are on the line, from voting rights to free public education.”

All County Council members are Indivisible & a loud mouthed, possibly sic woman was yelling on the courthouse steps.

With the seemingly very high levels of dissatisfaction with the party right now, I'm not sure the organization part is all that necessary.

Brute force name recognition building with a tight message might be all that's necessary to build up natural support.

Not necessarily. If you've got a login.gov account (which as I recall requires some actual proof of identity) you'll still be able to do things like change your direct deposit information online.

What you WON'T be able to do is change it over the phone by just calling them up and saying "Joe Blow, number 867-53-0999. Change my direct deposit to blah."

You could do that before. I seem to remember that something like 30% of over-the-phone changes were fraudulent.

Their whole strategy has been weak so far. Normal people are all raged out and don't care about this street theater. And the left is now doing counterproductive things like attacking Teslas which are largely owned by Democrats.

They are out of hoaxes. The Signal crap died on the launch pad and nobody really believes these lies any longer even if some still pretend. They went absolutely batshit with the lawfare after the hoaxes and it's just not working anymore.

The left's biggest problem is they have been a party without ideas for years. Trannies and DEI aren't a governing philosophy, they are just shiny objects and most voters want solutions. That's why the Party is polling at the worst level in its history and not showing any signs of figuring it out yet.

271 I'm reading the free Kindle sample of "Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House" written by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes (AP). There's no way I'm putting money in their pockets by buying the book, and I get the Intro and first two chapters in the sample.

Anyway, they go to a lot of effort in beginning to assert that the Biden coverup is all his staff's fault. However, they know that at some point these same people will be sources of theirs in the future, so they pivot to throwing Biden's family under the bus, as we'll presumably never see them again. Even in their book, they're using a lot of anonymous sourcing.

While they are busy underbusing Biden, they still push their lies about Trump, saying that he lies all the time - especially about abortion. Funny enough, they never go into length to outline the exact lies he tells. These are company people to the very end.

One great story is how Biden is at a NJ fundraiser at Phil Murphy's house. There is fluorescent tape all over the stage area, indicating where Biden stands. Staffers say they do that for him all the time. They also set up a teleprompter at the private party (?!!). None of this got leaked.

There are memes that have broken through into the mainstreem like the one comparing US, UK, and Canadian healthcare where it's a person bleeding and the US doctor says "that'll be $50000000" the UK doctor says "We can see you in 37 years" and the Canadian doctor says "have you thought about just killing yourself?"

We lost something like 50000 KIA, mostly officer pilots and technically trained enlisted. Until we got into hitting the rail network after the invasion, you could argue the results were marginal. German industry was expanding until mid 1944.

To pit that into perspective the Tank Corps had only 1400 KIA for all of WWII, both theatres. Your tank gets hit, its easier to get out and get rescued and issued a new tank.

It will take some time to sort out because the Dems have a much more complicated coalitional structure where gubmint money binds the party together but if the money/pay is no longer there--the moderates will gravitate toward where it is--in the private economy. Euroland is having the same issue where coalitions are trying to prop up the failing status quo until the barbarians go away. End result, it is killing the fake conservative parties, enervating the leftist ones, and making the right in those countries appear to have all the answers.
