I think
both a question mark
and an exclamation mark are necessary to drive through JD Vance's reply to ABC's Martha Raddatz. Simply because, like "WTF?!", it is as much — if not more — an exclamation as a question. One which is akin to "For the love of God, Martha, do you even hear what garbage you yourself are blurting out?!"). Whatever the case,
Damian Bennett takes the reply even further and disseminates it throughout the progressives' leftosphere, scattering it to all corners of their inner world:
MARTHA RADDATZ, ABC News: “Senator Vance, I’m going to stop you because I know exactly what happened. I’m going to stop you.The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complex — apartment complexes and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns. A handful of problems.”
JDV: “Only — Martha, do you hear yourself? Only
a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by
Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala
Harris’s open border? ...
I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting because you
seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has
said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United
States of America are being taken over by violent gangs.”
...edit the quære accordingly. Strap in. It's been a long road to N5.- “
Martha Joe, do you hear yourself?” March 6, 2024
JOE SCARBOROUGH, MSNBC Morning Joe co-host & say-absolutely-anything shill, person of privilege: “This is — and I don't — you know what I don't really — start your tape right now because I'm about to tell you the truth. And ‘F’ you if you can't handle the truth. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is THE BEST BIDEN EVER. Not a close second. And I have known him for years. The Brzezinski have known him for 50 years. If it weren't the truth I wouldn't say it.”
[NB: 114 days later Joe had this to say: “In
2024, failure is not an option. So who I love, who I respect, who I
revere for their work and their duty to service over their lifetime
really is not relevant. It's not relevant for any of us. It's not
relevant for Democrat leaders. it's not relevant for anyone. The
question is can -- we know Joe Biden can govern. ... He can run the
White House. He can run the country effectively...but can he run for president in 2024?”]
- EPIC JOE [Past blast. Strap in.] November 21, 2023: “[Trump] is not a normal candidate. He's running to end American democracy as we know it. He's an authoritarian who a court, ah, in in Colorado two days ago ruled that that
he led an insurrection against the United States government. He's
charged with leading schemes to help overthrow the United States
government. ... When
people go, 'Ooh, you can't compare him to any past Nazi leaders. You
can't compare him to this past Nazi leader or that past fascist leader,
because he hasn't done it.' Wah, what hasn't he done? He hasn't done the
things the American judicial system did not allow him to do last time,
but may very well allow him to do this time — OR — a
judicial system that will be ignored by Donald Trump and ran [sic] over
by Donald Trump to create the greatest Constitutional crisis of our
lifetimes. Just because he hasn't done it yet, doesn't mean he WON'T do it when he gets a chance to do it! And if he is voted into office then a lot these people that are talking about literal or figurative or whatever the hell they're saying -- you're going to look like idiots. Uh, because he will do, he will get away with, he will
imprison, he will execute whoever he's allowed to imprison, execute, uh
uh uh drive from the country. Just look at his past. It’s not really
hard to read. ...

ROBERT DE NIRO, actor & attention queen, person of privilege: “I
can’t see any good in [Trump]. Nothing. Nothing at all. Nothing
redeemable in him. ... If he is, he wins the election. He. You [speaking
to Bill Maher] won’t be on this show anymore. He’ll come looking for
me. You know, there’ll be. There’ll be things that happen that none of us can imagine. That’s what happens in that kind of a dictatorship, which is what he says. Let’s believe and take him at his word.”

- “
Martha Rachel, do you hear yourself?” June 11, 2024
RACHEL MADDOW, MSNBC The Rachel Maddow Show, hoaxster, person of privilege: “I’m
worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is
openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people,
and to “root out” what he’s described in subhuman terms as his “enemy
from within.” Again, history is helpful here. He’s not joking when he
says this stuff, and we’ve seen what happens when people take power
proclaiming that kind of agenda. ... For that matter, what convinces you that these massive camps he’s planning are only for migrants? So, yes, I’m worried about me — but only as much as I’m worried about all of us.”

Martha Whoopi, do you hear yourself?” July 9, 2024
WHOOPI GOLDBERG, ABC The View co-host, person of privilege: “I don’t care if [Biden]’s pooped his pants. I don’t care if he can’t put a sentence together. Show me he can’t do the job, and then I’ll say, OK — maybe it’s time to go. ... So yeah, I have poopy days all the time, all the time. I step in so much poo you can’t even imagine.” [NB: This said after the June27 Trump-Biden debate.]

Martha James, do you hear yourself?” August 15, 2024
JAMES CARVILLE, Corporal Cueball one-hit wonder Democratic strategist, person of privilege: “It’s
really about the misogyny and the racism that drives the thing, and we
got to recognize that. It’s not about any policy prescription. And the
reason I suspect that most of these people [scil., Republicans] describe
themselves as pro-Israel is because the Jews are whiter than the
Palestinians, which I think drives a lot of what they are.” - Corporal Cueball August 26, 2024: “I
really feel sorry for the Kennedy family because I will remind them,
you can pick your friends, you can’t pick your relatives. And
if Bobby Kennedy lived in a more humane country, they would have him in
a nice rubber room and you know, three hots and a cot and take care of
this guy. He has no business being out on the street mixing and
mingling with people. But this is where we are in this country. We have a
mental health crisis and he’s at the top of it.”
- Corporal Cueball September 27, 2024: “I
really think he is such an odious and despicable man that he should not
be accorded the most basic courtesies that one human being would extend
to another human being. I think he is a grotesque, immoral man who is
incapable of understanding anything or anybody that’s not him. And I’ll
just be very honest, I cannot stand the son of a bitch. ... We’re not going to accord this rotten mothaf*cka one iota of humanity or respect because he has given up any idea that he should be afforded this.”
- Corporal Cueball October 14, 2024: “Just
from what we learned in the last 48 hours. We had General Flynn say
that the gates of Hell are going to reign on Trump’s enemies when he
wins. We had General Milley say that he is a fascist to his core. We
heard Trump on Fox this morning say he’s going to use the military to
round up his political enemies. Trump has announced that he will be
giving a speech at Madison Square Garden on October 27. Please
Google Madison Square Garden February 10, 1939, and see what happened
there. They are telling you exactly what they are going to do. They are
telling you we are going to institute a fascist regime.”

ROB REINER, actor & stuff, person of privilege: “For our Democracy to survive, two things have to happen. Donald Trump needs to be Convicted for Jan. 6th and there can be no Third Party Candidate. ... [Republicans] are only interested in power. And they will do anything to get the power.

outcome of hearings of this committee have supported my claim that from
the very beginning of the creation of this select subcommittee, that
this has been the gaslighting to the nth degree, a tremendous projection
of the highest order, that the evidence is the words of their leader, their would-be Führer, Donald Trump, and Project 2025, a 900-page manifesto of a transformed America.” [NB: Plaskett uses subliminal Hitler trigger 75 and 10 days, respectively, after two separate assassination attempts on DJT.] - “

JONATHAN CAPEHART, MSNBC: “Vice President Harris at 54%. ... Why is the Democratic share of the Latino vote shrinking?”
MARIA HINOJOSA, NPR hostess, nonentity: “What I said to you when we asked the question was, Latinos want to be white.
They want to be with the cool kids. ... [T]hey don’t want to be
identified with all of those other immigrants that Donald Trump speaks
so badly of, including me as a Mexican immigrant, so they’re like,
‘Let’s be with him.’ Those numbers, they could cost Kamala Harris the election.” [NB: NBC News exit polls:
KA-mala finished with 53% Hispanic voters, Trump received 45% of the
vote, a 13-point jump from 2020 and a record high for a Republican

I’m voting my sister, the vice president. She used the language, the
word forward, not backwards. This guy, I don’t call him by his name, I
say Agent Orange and the stuff that he is saying, he’s not being shy, he

JOY REID, MSNBC: “Do you recommend, just from a psychological standpoint, being around [family and friends Trump voters]? We've got the holidays coming up.”
AMANDA CALHOUN, Yale psychiatrist & “mental health expert”, person of privilege: “I think there is a societal norm that if somebody is your family that,
they are entitled to your time. And I think the answer is absolutely
not. So if you are going through a situation where you have family
members, close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against
you, like what you said, against your livelihood, it is completely fine
to not be around those people and tell them why. To say I
have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my
very livelihood and I’m not going to be around you this holiday.” - “

[Several hours later.]
No matter the intelligence level, the very sad thing about being
stupid, being a ridiculous person, is that with a little effort one need
not be. Make the little effort, but few stupid, ridiculous people do.
There are at least two generations going to the grave stupid. They
weren't born stupid. Many are quite possibly highly intelligent. Sadly,
these
two generations have been taught not to think, yes, intelligentia possibilia undisturbed
by thinking. Instead they have learned to vogue, to vogue for applause
and smiles and clicks and likes from their fellow possibly highly
intelligent voguers. When native intelligence, great or limited, becomes
invested in stupidity, stakes its fortunes in stupidity, it becomes
hostage to stupidity, and the intelligence forms a trauma bond with its
captor. The captor becomes consolatory, the gaol a safe place to be, a
nice place to be. Heart emojis, likes, follows, clicks, monetized views, cat videos -- two generations going to the grave stupid. Ah, but within the claque, stupid and happy.
If
you are to meet N5 traumatized relatives or friends over the holidays
-- at a well-appointed Thanksgiving dinner table, around a festive
heavily decorated Christmas tree, clinking flutes of Biden-flated Verdi Spumante on NYE, or wherever, whenever -- emulate John Milton touring the Vatican, no talk of religion (or politics) unless another brings it up for dispute. But once assailed, have at it hammer and tong. Make them cry.
