2020 US Election - Let The Games Begin!

The blink I had is that he's suffering the same effects as Hillary after decades of lying.
I have to admit that I don’t feel sorry for Joe Biden one bit. He’s as corrupt as they get and he and his whole family have scammed millions in their criminal activities for decades. One can be sure that his actions have caused a lot of suffering to others. Now he is being exploited, sure, but he has unscrupulously exploited others for half a century. In life you get what you give.
 
Has anyone worked out a good hypothesis yet on how Tucker Carlson gets to say what he says and get away with it constantly. He just keeps going on. I'm totally stumped how no-one is clamping down on him.

The only thing I can surmise, is that Tucker is their number two draw behind Hannity. Fox has been steadily chipping away at old guard news flagships, as well as their cable offshoots. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" seems to be the maxim of the Fox brass, and hooray for that.


Maddow’s audience has dipped on her two days back on the air since Attorney General William Barr reported that special counsel Robert Mueller had found no collusion between Trump and Russia’s efforts. Her audience of 2.5 million on Monday was 19 percent below her average this year, and it went down further to 2.3 million on Tuesday, the Nielsen company said.

Meanwhile, her head-to-head competitor on Fox News Channel, Sean Hannity, saw his audience soar on Monday to 4 million viewers, a 32 percent increase from his average. It slipped to 3.57 million on Tuesday. One of Trump’s most prominent media fans, Hannity was to interview the president on Wednesday’s show.

Hannity and Maddow have run neck-and-neck atop the cable news ratings this year, with Maddow having the slight edge.
Fox’s Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham also saw their audiences top their averages both days, while other prime-time hosts on MSNBC and CNN saw their audiences plunge.

The phenomenon isn’t unusual; political camps are more interested in watching news when it reflects well on their favorites, and vice versa. Maddow’s ratings dropped sharply in the immediate aftermath of the 2016 election, as many fans of Hillary Clinton couldn’t bring themselves to watch the news after Trump’s victory, but eventually rebounded. Similarly, Hannity saw some ratings weakness late last year as bad news piled up for Trump.

Well, hypothetically, here is a guess>

Fox is the controlled opposition. It is theater.
1. Tucker says something you and I think is both true and controversial.
2, We hear it on the news and think somebody is actually doing something but in reality, nobody is really doing anything.
It defuses the outrage by hearing the outrage expressed. "He is telling what I think is true and wrong, therefore I don't have to!"
3. Furthermore - those who agree with Carlson will also tend to agree without thinking critically, when Fox is designated to deliver some propaganda that no one would believe if it came from MSNBC.

Just thoughts

Spy vs Spy

At some point they WILL silence him (and it will be more theater) and that will send a chill to silence everybody.
They already do this strategy - make examples out of people...like Jordan Peterson for example!
"Speak up and the Harpies will ravage you!"
 
OR consider this as it specifically relates to Biden: if there is already a de facto one world govt, there is also already no real political choice in America. It is all grand theater. A sham. So we might want to look at things through that lens. Expecting things to be logical or sensible is...illogical and insensible.

Perhaps Trump was a rogue in 2016 but the PTB have probably figured out how to manage him at this point even though he remains an unruly child with a scheming mind in some ways. Crashing the economy figures in to this somehow. Even if the economy crashes, Joe Biden is probably the only guy who could lose to Trump, guaranteed. So Trump may know he is already anointed for another 4 years. OR what about Killary - what if she is chosen for VP and then they put Biden in a wheelchair and she takes over running for president... IDK Stranger things have happened.

The flashpoint is the economic collapse - that is when Pandora's box gets opened up wide. Of course, the STS psychopaths (and their overlords) think they can control humanity even as the corona virus thing and it's effect on the financial markets has shown the opposite. I am thinking 5G implementation is the final nail in the coffin as far as controlling the masses goes. It is not here yet (as far as we know).

My vibe is that things are coming unglued prematurely. (in the eyes of the STS PTB) And there may be some sort of faint hope in that.
 
BHelmet and herodancer. Wonderful explanations and examples of seeing the unseen. Both your arguments fits the modus operandi that's all around us. I need to sharpen my lens a bit more. Thanks for replying.
 
I bet my morning bacon on that the sudden surge of Biden in the last weeks was manipulated. I mean, who would even think of voting for this guy? He is getting more demented every day, and as his cognitive capacity lessens, he is less and less able to ‘keep up the mask of sanity’. It’s at the same time fascinating and horrifying to witness: he thinks he can use the same strategy of uttering whatever political talking points (without believing in them or even knowing what they mean) will gain support, but now he is not able to put the fake puzzle pieces together. He has been a clever pathological liar, but now even lying gets too complicated.

Right now it’s looking like the Dems don’t have any plan, they’re digging their own grave with Biden. Let’s see if Hillary will enter soon...maybe that’s their idiotic plan?

I think your analysis is closer to the truth BHelmet. I tend to be rosy in my assessment of matters. Thanks for the check. And there's no reason why both can't be true. On the surface level, Fox is happy to be sitting on top of the ratings hill, so "let's let Tucker be Tucker". On the deeper level as you say, he soothes a certain portion of the public, so the PTB are fine with that.

Smiles all around. :curse: :headbash:
 
Podiums At Next Debate To Be Equipped With Life Alert Buttons

1584084897996.png


U.S.—The DNC has announced a controversial new debate format after pressure from both the Sanders and Biden campaigns in which the candidates will stand at podiums that are equipped with Life Alert buttons in case the debaters fall down and can't get up.

Life Alert, which is sponsoring the debate, is supplying the podiums free of charge.

The candidates, who are old and may collapse to the ground at any moment, will be able to press the button should they suddenly have a heart attack or just have no idea where they are. Aides will then be able to come up and either stand them back up and hold them upright for the duration of the debate or tell them, "Hey, Joe, the year is 2020 and you're running for president. Joe! Speak to me Joe! JOOOOE!!!"

"Help! I've fallen and I can't rebut!" Biden shouted during a test run of the new podiums, as he was both unable to stand back up or respond to Sanders in any kind of coherent manner. "Also, who is the current president and who are all these little Oompa Loompas dancing around me in this mushroom forest? Flibberdoodle!"

Later on during the test run, Biden brought up Sanders's three houses in a rare moment of lucidity, and a panicked Sanders smacked the button rather than actually address the fact that he's a very rich socialist.

As a contingency plan, the DNC is also preparing a pair of hospital beds the candidates could be transferred to mid-debate.

The Babylon Bee
 
I am not sure any body expected this with primaries. They want to use mail ballots for the primaries.
As controversies erupt over the primary votes in several states, influential media voices are calling for further cloaking the electoral process in obscurity — in the name of protecting candidates and voters alike from the ravages of the coronavirus, of course. The epidemic — and America’s fragile democracy — demands nothing less.

It’s time to cancel the US presidential campaign,” a not-at-all-alarmist headline from Council on Foreign Relations alumna Laurie Garrett screamed in Foreign Policy on Wednesday. The New York Times concurred, offering a less hysterical primer on “How to protect the election from coronavirus” on Thursday (spoiler alert: “let everyone vote by mail”) from the American Civil Liberties Union’s Dale Ho. And a cascade of blue-checks have weighed in with their support for the idea on social media.
...
Bringing the campaigns online provides an obvious advantage to the favored establishment Democrat, Joe Biden, whose energy and coherence on the in-the-flesh campaign trail have been noticeably flagging. The former vice president profanely lashed out at a Michigan voter as that state headed to the polls on Tuesday, and attendance at his rallies has suffered from the same “enthusiasm gap” that plagued the 2016 establishment pick, Hillary Clinton. Democratic Socialist challenger Bernie Sanders — and President Donald Trump, for that matter — regularly fill large venues with enthusiastic crowds, making it difficult for even the most determined centrist pundits to claim Biden enjoys the overwhelming support of the American people. Canceling the nominating convention, as Garrett and other establishment stalwarts are calling for, plays into the hands of the DNC, whose lawyers infamously argued in response to a 2016 voter lawsuit that they could pick the party’s candidate in smoke-filled back rooms if they so desired.
 
Joe Biden brings to mind the psychopathic senator from the "Sin City" comics (I read them when younger).

Makes one's skin crawl to watch him molest young girls (and women), openly in the below video:


If elected, and with the ongoing dementia, looks like there is no change that he will manage the debates with Trump, who is already referring Biden as "Sleepy Joe".

Unless PTB have a "plan B" in their back pocket and/or the votes are manipulated, it appears that it's four more years for Trump.
 
Can’t say I’m all that surprised by this announcement:


The Vermont senator is the latest presidential hopeful from the initial 29 candidates to step down from the Democratic campaign, leaving Joe Biden as the only candidate from the party to stand in the election.


US Senator Bernie Sanders has quit the Democratic presidential race, his campaign revealed on Wednesday. The politician announced his decision to withdraw from the race in a conference call with his staff and is now planning to address his supporters via a livestream at 11:45 ET.


The senator's move effectively means that former Vice President Joe Biden will run against incumbent President Trump in this year's election.

edit: Grammar
 
Since Bernie has dropped out a number of progressive types have since come out in support of Joe Biden as 'the lesser evil'. Aaron Maté (Gabor Maté's son) has been a big 'Bernie Boy' but has since come out supporting this 'lesser of two evils' argument:


Maté has done some fair work on Russia Gate, but he could only go so far as he never actually dug that deep into the Russian side of things. And despite outlining the many lies against Trump, he still believes in the democratic left. I tend to like the guy but he has some pretty strong biases that he doesn't contend with. Well, Jimmy Dore had him on his show yesterday and brought some of those issues to the fore.


I also like Dore quite a bit, but his ideological blinders cause him to trip on a number of things too. For example, he's bought into the whole COVID-19 crisis and thinks socialism is the answer. :rolleyes:

Yup, both him and Caitlin Johnstone were on it when it came to Russiagate even though they hailed from the left. But they're both buying into Coronavirus TM, and I suspect I know why. They're not able to go there in understanding the scope of TPTB in terms of the global reach. IOW, it's the fact that multiple countries around the world are joining in the shenanigans that's throwing them, I think.
