It's Unreal How Unreal "Real Time" Really Is

 

  Real time with Bill Maher has long symbolized how constipated The Democrat Party, and modern journalism, have become - mostly from crawling up their own asses - and Maher did it again, last night, by discussing Jake Tapper's book about the cover-up of Joe Biden's mental decline. With Jake Tapper. Without mentioning what everybody knew, as far back as 2019, and still knows now: 

   

 Jake Tapper was a huge part of the cover-up. How's that for journalism? And for Bill Maher, posing as someone exposing what's real?

That Bill Maher, discussing the cover-up, is now part of a cover-up is the reality that won't be mentioned. At least not on Real time with Bill Maher. Here's something else "real," and obvious, that Rep. Seth Moulton (Maher's other guest) said, that Democrats will hear, but then completely ignore:

'Part of winning elections is just starting with a little mea culpa, and saying "Yeah we were wrong. We've been perceived out of touch with a lot of Americans; about not being honest about a range of issues: there's not really a problem at the southern border, or inflation really isn't that bad, and Biden's fine," so let's just be honest. Take this opportunity to say "Hey we were wrong about that." And then we can move forward."

I repeat: They will completely ignore that sound advice. And that means they will ignore it - collectively. Cultishly. And it's as creepy as listening to Bill Maher talk to Jake Tapper about a cover-up Bill Maher and Jake Tapper are participating in. And - Trump or no Trump - no one will be voting for more of it. Because everyone can sense someone's pulling levers, and - if it's not the Clintons - then it's someone associated with the Clintons, because it was Hillary who said the Internet is helping, whoever it is, "lose total control." 

   

Think about that - unpeel the onion: Whoever "they" are, Hillary Clinton - the former First Lady and Barack Obama's Secretary of State - said they had "total control." And only a few people knew (I'm looking at you, George Clooney). As Brianna Joy Gray also exposed this week (above) whoever is lounging in the Democrat Party's VIP section wants "an authentic voice that's going to become popular organically, and we need to control them,..."

When Democrats should know, by now, that's not gonna happen.

By the way, Seth Moulton was Real Time's one reasonable voice, but only until he said, "There will also be a great time to talk about Biden's legacy." When, he should know - as we know - Joe Biden's legacy was as a racist segregationist who, along with his Vice President, made his career by, amongst other things, destroying the lives of black Americans. That's keeping it real.

So the Democrats should stick to apologies, and otherwise, just try to leave the past alone. You ain't the fools who made "Sinners." You're the vampires.

Racists, NewAgers, Nazis - The Beliefs Tying Modern American Society Together

Vox.com did a little explaining:

West’s…insistence that slavery is a choice needs to be understood…in the ideology of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps celebrated in everything from the 19th-century novels of Horatio Alger to GOP talking points. Religiously, we can see it in distinctively American crazes like the Victorian era’s New Thought and the popularity of the Christian prosperity gospel, which implies that your piety directly impacts your pocketbook. It’s the ideology that underpins our Gwyneth Paltrow-inspired fantasies of “wellness,” our obsessive gym culture, and capitalist “empowerment” complexes like the skin care industry. Physically, spiritually, socially, we are — as a nation — fantasists of control.

"We"? Speak for yourselves, but - well, don't that sound familiar?

Tom Petty Knows U.S. Blacks Must Live Like Refugees

"Beyond the flag issue, we're living in a time that I never thought we'd see. The way we're losing black men and citizens in general is horrific. What's going on in society is unforgivable. As a country, we should be more concerned with why the police are getting away with targeting black men and killing them for no reason. That's a bigger issue than the flag. Years from now, people will look back on today and say, 'You mean we privatized the prisons so there's no profit unless the prison is full?' You'd think someone in kindergarten could figure out how stupid that is. We're creating so many of our own problems,..."

Whites Anti-Victim Mentality Screws Over Blacks AND The Ignorant White Folks Who Write The Economist

Wow - even in 2014 - it took a total backlash to get these supposedly-educated modern day bozos-with-a-magazine to understand how silly they sound: 

"Apology: In our review of 'The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism' by Edward Baptist, we said: 'Mr Baptist has not written an objective history of slavery. Almost all the blacks in his book are victims, almost all the whites villains.' There has been widespread criticism of this, and rightly so. Slavery was an evil system, in which the great majority of victims were blacks, and the great majority of whites involved in slavery were willing participants and beneficiaries of that evil. We regret having published this and apologise for having done so,..."

This is great political theatre:

Whites are now victimizing themselves with their own worthless "bootstraps without boots" ideology,....

The Republican Party Is Carrying A Really White Anchor

The Right's nation-building message is clear - no matter how it tries to present itself.

Amy Otto tries hard to avoid the "R" word but, eventually, she can't help but give in to the truth:

"While it’s painful to admit, unabashedly pushing the progressive agenda is proving quite effective. If the political counterpoint to this feels encumbered by believing its party owes apologies for racism, nativism, and sexism, it may prove challenging to mount a defense." 

 Of course, she never mentions that not practicing, or defending them might be the way to go,...

It is not unusual for white visitors to feel prompted to apologize for Jim Crow, Hoover said. But I felt accused and reflexively defensive as an incensed world watched. It was a personal lesson in how the human mind is built to deflect unwelcome information.

The best way to hate America is to study it's history - and then talk to whites about it.

There's no need to discuss anything any longer - white Americans have had ample time to show their colors:

“Americans Can't Even Stomach An Apology For Slavery, Much Less Reparations”

Now blacks must accept the "Land Of The Free And The Home Of the Brave" is morally worthless and cowardly - and then, move forward without it's cultural heritage:

No more tears - let it die as we have.

ADDED:

“If you’ve already concluded that reparations are too expensive or too impossible, perhaps your sense of American citizenship is itself a cheap and flimsy thing.”

The 15 Caribbean Nations Voted To Sue For Reparations

The Business Insider has the story:

  The leaders of 15 Caribbean nations voted unanimously on Monday to sue England and European nations like France and the Netherlands over the scourge of slavery.

The long-overdue lawsuit will seek a formal apology, debt cancellation and other reparations in a 10-part plan. The Caribbean nations, represented by British human rights law firm Leigh Day, will also seek a “repatriation” plan for Rastafarians who want to move to Africa. Associated Press notes, “Repatriation to Africa has long been a central belief of Rastafari, a melding of Old Testament teachings and Pan-Africanism whose followers have long pushed for reparations.” 

I hope the Rastas show up and blow ganja over the proceedings. But did you notice? The Business Insider called the suit "long overdue". And they also noticed this:

"Interestingly the United States was not named in the lawsuit—probably because the bulk of the American slave trade was from Africa, not the Caribbean. But it still somehow seems unsettling to have the first international lawsuit over slavery not include the U.S., which grew into the world’s dominant superpower on the backs of slaves.”

Apparently, The Business Insider knows what's up,…

 

A Republican Apologizes After Saying Something Stupid

This is one of the nicest developments in Republican politics, and Arizona politics (!) that I've seen, in a long, long time:

 Jim Brown, an Arizona Republican congressional candidate, said some of the usual crazy stuff Republicans say about entitlements and slavery on Wednesday but - unlike most Republicans - when called on it, he immediately apologized.  And it was even a good apology.

Here was his original Facebook post:

Did you see he got two "likes" for that garbage? One of them is probably from Paul Ryan. Here's Brown's apology:

Well done. I don't agree with every word of it, of course, but that's neither here nor there - I still say good for him:

Other Republicans can learn a lot from that man,...
