Democrats:
October 15: “We have the best election system in the world, and saying otherwise is paranoia and treason”.
November 15: “Our electoral system is a joke, and we need to recount every vote”.
December 15: The election integrity problems aren’t in places that went to Trump, it was carried out by Democrat governments, and the evidence we see highlights the depravity of Democrats…
…hey, look! Russians!
The party of tolerance, feelings and inclusion, again rears its ugly head!
I wonder the extent to which the shift from “reporter” to “journalist” affected the problem?
In the olden days, a person who sat through a politician’s speech went back to the office to type up a report, which was broadcast as news to give information to those who were not able to attend, so they could make up their minds which side was the Good Side. News was meant to be impartial.
Nowadays, a person who sits through a politician’s speech goes back to the office to type up a report of how she felt about it, and how others said they felt about it, which is broadcast as news to give virtue-signaling information to those who were not able to attend, so they know which side has been designated as the Good Side. News is meant to influence behavior.
Under this new system, evidence that Democrats had lax security was downplayed because telling the public that fact might allow them to draw the politically incorrect conclusion.
If the gatekeepers are convincing, all is well for those within the palace. What happens when the masses no longer listen to the gatekeepers?
Are the media and the left (birm) so arrogant that they think everyone believes everything they say? No matter what they said last month or last year?
If the dems control congress they hate the filibuster, when the repubs control congress they love it, and you can find proof of this in the NY Slimes.
They used to hate the cia and love the rooskies. Now its the other way around.
Do they have zero self-awareness, are they that deeply inside the bubble?
Um, yes.
PS: Our security and intelligence services seem to be very poorly managed.
Time for change.
Having European level / style election security is not expensive, not is it voter suppression.
Hey, the left loves euro style gummint. Lets start with that, we just want the election security europe has.
European level election security, yes, and also, let’s remember that most companies won’t buy from a vendor that’s not either ISO certified, or has ISO-like quality processes in place. If we won’t buy toasters without audits, why buy government without audits?
Time to put some Detroit Democrats in jail where they belong.

Joe, this was explained to us in 2005, by Saint Paul’s premier Journalist, Nick Coleman. Nick took exception to white guys tapping out stories in their basements while wearing their pajamas. These goddamn bloooogers are the Fascisti. They are not fit to be publishing anything, much less political commentary; that is the job of Journalists, like Nick, because Journalists know stuff, see? They know stuff you and I don’t.
Well, there I go again, doing the Journalists job…let’s let Nick tell us in his own words:
… A lot of it is just keeping up with the rush of current events, but also sometimes it’s to give, I think the license of a column — if one still exists — is that you can use it as a way to provide insight into what is happening to people in common, everyday occurrences, why it’s happening.
And you know sometimes really the job is to point the finger at people, powerful people especially, who may not be exactly speaking candidly or even honestly about what is happening in our culture and in our community.
And there you have it. Reporters just reported; Journalists exist to provide insight and point fingers.
The democrat press are conflating two independent questions: Did Russia hack the DNC, and where did Wikileaks get the DNC EMails.
First question – of course the Russians hacked the DNC. I’m sure they are every bit as capable of doing it as the NSA who I have no doubt also have all the emails.
Second Question has been answered. Disgruntled DNC insiders gave them to Craig Murray who gave them to Assange.
I think in their eagerness to become Journalists, they kinda overshot the mark and ended up as Activists. A bit like that lemming metaphor.
More fake new. Trump is right to call out the CIA on this. Their conclusions are delivered unsourced, and require a long chain of evidence. The CIA has not produced this evidence. If the CIA is really behind this — and without a named source you cannot be sure of that — they need to lay out their evidence, or they are simply planting a story to achieve a political objective, e.g., it is “Fake News.”
Whoever is behind this has got to be laughing their ass off.

This is a simple problem. Democrats say there is no election fraud. Pass the election integrity laws Republicans say will detect and prevent election fraud and, if Democrats are right, it won’t make any difference! Not only that, Democrats can then say “nyah, nyah, we told you so.” Of course they are doing that regardless.
