What is so maddening are the lies, the rigging, the political indifference, the intolerance, the hate

"What is so maddening are the lies, the rigging, the political indifference, the intolerance, the hate", complains Damian Bennett. All of which, to top it off, they assign to us — to us, conservatives!

What I can't fathom is the extent to which Leftists are prepared to lie, not only to others but (perhaps above all) to themselves. The afore-mentioned Damian Bennett agrees:

What is so maddening are the lies, the rigging, the political indifference, the intolerance, the hate (if that word still has the force of its actual meaning) -- all of it is in plain sight. It is before our eyes. We are lied to with the facts in evidence, with the facts attested, with the facts bearing  down. 

YET.

Yet we are lied to, ballots rigged, problems go unchecked, discussion and argument are censored. People are stoked to hate, invited to hate, instructed to hate. No surprise that the once cohering 'love thy neighbor' has been supplanted by 'hate your neighbor".

It is hard to believe the real because the real has become unreal. Precepts, custom, institutions, the law -- everything is turned on its head. It is maddening. Or perhaps I have gone mad and the world outside my brainpan is kind and loving and at peace with itself. But I truly experience the world as mad. Being mad has the benefit of reconciling one to a world fitted for the mad.

Damian Bennett has more to add regarding the "Homestretch+4 Hodge-podge":

The wait on November 5 is entering the surreal hurry-up/hold-on stage. Let's go -- but let's rack up a few more positives. [More positives racked.] Go! Go! Go! -- wait, how about just one more? Oh NO! It's DST turnback! Turn your clock back an hour! That's one more hour away from November 5!

Nice.
Nicer.
More Nicer.

  • "A Breach Of Protocol": White House Overrode Stenographers, Altered "Garbage" Transcript October 31, 2024
    The change was made after the press office “conferred with the president,” according to an internal email from the head of the stenographers’ office that was obtained by The AP. The authenticity of the email was confirmed by two government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.
    The supervisor, in the email, called the press office’s handling of the matter a breach of protocol and spoliation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Offices.”
    The two-person stenography team on duty that evening, a “typer” and a “proofer” said that any edits to the official transcript would have to be approved by their supervisor, the head of the stenographer's office — who was unavailable. Because of this, the White House press office went ahead and published an altered transcript on the White House website and distributed it to the press and social media in a mad scramble.
    The supervisor did not like that: “If there is a difference in interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently. ... Our Stenography Office transcript — released to our distro, which includes the National Archives — is now different than the version edited and released to the public by Press Office staff.”

  • Elise Stefanik: Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Smear Coverup Is Illegal October 31, 2024
    Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY-R), House Conference Chair: “The American people deserve to know that Joe Biden and the Democrats are so desperate after his disgraceful comment calling 250 million Trump-supporting Americans ‘garbage,’ that the Biden White House illegally edited the transcript violating the Presidential Records Act.”

    Tim Miller, Libertarian Strategist: “It gets me a little angry because it’s like I don’t know why people in the Democratic party and around the Biden administration, even on the Harris campaign...feel like we have to baby the president of the United States and like walk on eggshells and make sure he feels included.”

  • “I don’t think we’re going to learn very much in this last week of the polling. In fact, I kind of trust pollsters less. They all, every time a pollster, ‘Oh, every state is just a plus one. Every single state’s a tie.’ No, you’re fucking herding. You’re cheating. You’re cheating. Your numbers aren’t all going to come out at exactly one-point leads when you’re sampling 800 people over dozens of surveys. You are lying. You’re putting your fucking finger on the scale.” [Full quote here.]
  • 'Something That the Feds Really Need To Look At': Liberal Dark Money Network Sends Inaccurate Election Texts To Voters Across US November 1, 2024
    AllVote, a ['progressive'] low-profile super PAC [funded by anti-Trump billionaire Reid Hoffman et al.] launched this summer, has sent false information via text message to voters in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, and other states about their voting status, CNN, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and other outlets reported this week. Some messages inform voters who have already gone to the polls that they have yet to cast their ballots. Others have been provided inaccurate information about their polling places or drop-box locations.
They Got Nothing.
