The Biden camp’s strategy
[NOTE: I’m going to start referring to Joe Biden as “the Biden camp.” For quite a while I’ve been writing “Joe Biden and/or his handlers” to refer to said group, but “the Biden camp” is shorter and it essentially means the same thing. We don’t really know who’s calling the shots right now, or to what extent Biden himself can come up with something one might call a strategy.]
The Democrats are banking on the idea that no one ever went broke underestimating the America public. So after denying the violence going on in American cities – “who are you going to believe, us our your lying eyes?” – they’re now applying their all-purpose remedy, the Big Lie of blaming it on Trump.
Yesterday Joe Biden went to Pittsburgh, which is in itself news – that he went somewhere. He gave a speech there to an audience of a few newspeople, which makes one wonder why he had to go anywhere at all. This was apparently the setting:
And then there was his inability to deliver the speech in a coherent fashion. Some of this may be eye problems with reading from the teleprompter, but he shows no ability whatsoever to recover from such errors and ad lib in anything resembling a coherent fashion:
Even while using a teleprompter, Joe Biden can’t keep his thoughts straighthttps://t.co/bzJxG0hmWg pic.twitter.com/npD0QGPWQJ

Even when Joe manages to speak in normal sentences, now that it’s been decided he must condemn the violence what he says is of this nature:
Trump “long ago forfeited any moral leadership,” and was incapable of stopping violence “because for years he had fomented it.”
In Biden’s vision, Trump “may believe mouthing the words ‘law and order’ makes him strong, but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows you how weak he is.” And “does anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is re-elected?”
That’s Orwellian nonsense. And yet, it’s the exact nonsense the MSM has been spouting for quite some time. It goes like this: Trump is dark, divisive, and evil, as are his supporters. The riots don’t exist and are a product of Trump’s imagination. At the same time, where they do exist, the perpetrators consist of right-wing militias, white supremacists, and Nazis who support Trump. He could call them off but refuses to do so, while the brave mayors of the blue cities they are attacking fight them off, with the help of the brave anfi-fascist volunteers of Antifa.
A lot of people think that the Biden camp is using this strategy now because Trump’s poll numbers have been going up. Maybe. But I also read the other day (in this blog’s comments or elsewhere, but I don’t recall the location or the author) that the real motivator is that finally in Kyle Rittenhouse they have a person they believe can be successfully labeled as a cold-blooded right-wing murderer. Anyone who studies the videos (or Rittenhouse’s activities that day) knows that this could not be further from the truth, but when did being far from the truth stop the Democrats from blaming Trump or Republicans?
Meanwhile, Kayleigh McEnany said this:
So, now, all of a sudden, 90 days later, I, from this podium, have talked about law and order. The President has talked about law and order repeatedly, but because the polling has shifted, now it’s time for the Democrats to deny what they said previously and, all of a sudden, focus on law and order.
I’ll leave you with this: That’s like the arsonist blaming the firefighter.

The Democrats are used to getting away with flagrant lies and ridiculous reversals. Even if the lies are blatant and obvious, they are counting on several things to help them pull this off. First and foremost, they have the MSM in their pocket, protecting them from criticism but also engaged in spreading the very same lies, preparing the way and then bolstering the message and covering up for the flaws of the messengers. Next, you have four years of constant Trump-hatred which has been effective in getting a huge number of people to the point where they are willing to vote for literally anything – a yellow dog, a limp washcloth, Joe Biden – rather than Trump. And lastly, you have the all-purpose wild card which can be used for almost anything at all, race.
Ah, the mysteries of Pittsburgh….
The hard left seems to think they have a winning strategy in arson, assault, and terrorism. That won’t play well anywhere, even in Portland.
Just remember that so many people get their “news” from the MSM. The MSM has not been reporting on the riots. Now to blame Trump is very easy for the uninformed electorate. The Bid Lie still works.
I think Biden should have been in prison long ago.
But I am grieved at what his handlers are doing to this liche, this husk, this non-Biden who deserves the dignity a dying dog gets, for God’s sake.
It would be one thing to condemn his handlers to the warmest corner of Hell. I can do that without a qualm. But Biden’s wife…..
The hatred I see for Trump in FB posts continues. Despite all the rosy optimistic projections from the right, this election is going to be very close; and the MSM is behind those numbers as they influence so many people. A close election will be contested violently. And a Trump landslide will also be protested violently. Mark your calendars….November 4th, the day the US burns down. The Dems have been preparing the ground for quite some time.
Cities are already burning. They will burn even more on Nov. 4th? I think people are sick of this.
That is a great video to use as a reply when people blame Trump for violence. Also a good reply to anyone who complains about Trump/Republicans speaking too carelessly!
Kate, well yes, in my view. The Dems/Left/Antifa/BLM I suspect, have been planning to burn it down especially if Trump wins. They’ve not accepted the election of 2016 for the past 4 years. They’re certainly not going to accept any more.

I’d be interested in knowing about Harris’ schedule – what she is saying and doing; she’s the more dangerous of the two, to me. And as we’ve been discussing around here, I hold that if “Biden” wins, she’ll be the real power, including in name, in short order. So while it’s useful to keep track of Uncle Joe’s doings here and there, what is she up to in the meantime?
Also, I feel we should be looking for definite signs that Pelosi is planning for that terrible scenario that was being discussed somewhere in which the Dem Secretaries of State tactically decline to certify pro-Trump vote counts and things get weird in the House. I would think there will be certain triggers, hopefully detectable, in Pelosi’s circle that make it clear when she’s playing for that for sure. For example, if certain parts of her personal organization in the House were suddenly to begin staffing up, or there were to be a lot of unusually active communication between her people and certain parts of the D. C. bureaucracy that don’t generally get such levels of attention from the Speaker of the House. Maybe we can put our heads together and think of some indicators like that.
The dem strategy is to see how big a lead President Trump has the morning of November 4th.
And then find ( create, manufacture, produce ) more than enough mail-in ballots to conclusively win a few days later.
It worked for Al Franken.
Let’s hope the RNC has an army of lawyers in place and very knowledgeable about various state election laws to ensure a fair election.
“that the real motivator is that finally in Kyle Rittenhouse they have a person they believe can be successfully labeled as a cold-blooded right-wing murderer.”
And, that his conduct may be pinned on Trump. see J.E. Dyer, at

@ physicsguy:
Of course you’ll see hatred of Trump in FB posts.
Social media are likely without precedent in human history, as the venue most systematically productive of Degeneracy.
If I believed that those who frequent such venues were actually representative of the US public, I’d have long ago despaired of our future.
I’ll bet there are less depressing uses of one’s time, than to befoul oneself with the stench of that crowd.

I use FB mainly to keep up with some very old friends dating back to childhood and are generally conservative. I also have some who have turned left. I was going to unfriend them to avoid, as you say, dealing with all the crap. But then I decided that it’s an interesting window into the other side, and what’s going on over there.
A bit OT, but the latest from that side is that the CDC must now be ignored. It’s fallen under Trump pressure. Nevermind the fact that the virus numbers are looking better and the CDC can no longer ignore that. The pandemic must go on!!
“But I also read the other day (in this blog’s comments or elsewhere, but I don’t recall the location or the author) that the real motivator is that finally in Kyle Rittenhouse they have a person they believe can be successfully labeled as a cold-blooded right-wing murderer.”
aNanyMouse got the right article by Dyer.
(For any new readers, she is a retired Navy Intelligence Office and IMO one of the best political analysts on the ‘net, especially for foreign affairs & Middle East in particular.)
My comments and a long excerpt on it were here last night, but it’s best to RTWT.

My following couple of comments include links to posts from various sources supporting Dyer’s conclusions about the Democrats’ response to Portland shooting.
You can’t quite see it in this picture (there’s another couple at the CTH), but at the far left (to the left of the lone cameraman) is what looks like a big screen TV with cameras clustered around it, pointing at the podium. Dead in front of Joe, but some distance away. I think this may have been his teleprompter. Probably what got him squinting a little to see the words at a distance, and probably just a few words at a time, big font. That way it wouldn’t look like he was reading, and it might pass as a “Joe does it off-the-cuff!” spontaneity / acuity fraud, since there were no stage-mounted teleprompters there.
There was a hilarious local TV New report showing a small scattering of Biden supporters staring, at some distance away, at the parked Biden entourage vehicles outside the venue. Didn’t see Joe, didn’t see the speech, didn’t cheer; just standing there, looking. That was a tough one to cover for the cub reporter, but he tried his Democratic best.
Yes, those of us with windows into the other side know that the hatred of Trump and the determination to have no more of him may well carry the day – with or without ballot box stuffing. Peter Hitchens in an interview with John Anderson from July makes the point that the communists have learned from History and then makes the point that the Gramscian march through the institutions has been remarkably effective. He then goes on to say that they have not learned that the solutions they propose have not changed and that they are still fundamentally wrong. I would go further – disastrous. Even before Marx the dynamic was apparent in the French Revolution – three years for the dream of universal brotherhood to devolve into The Terror. The protesters erected a guillotine outside the White House and beheaded a Trump manikin. Like the enemies of the French Revolution – the Bourbons – these latter day Jacobins have forgotten nothing and and have learned nothing. They are stuck on stupid. The rage to eliminate all hierarchy, to establish equality of outcome – to level (Hiya Mayor De Blasio) – is a deep impulse in human nature and it is not at all clear when and how it will run its course in the US – only that it will run its course. Given the utter corruption and untrammeled self righteousness of the elites – Dem and Never Trump Repub – the potential for collapse is pretty high.

I’d be interested in knowing about Harris’ schedule – what she is saying and doing
Harris has said: “That’s right,” Harris replied. “But they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop, and this is a movement, I’m telling you.”
“They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop,” she added. “They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day.”
“Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up — and they should not. And we should not,” she concluded.
John, yes, but that was from June. Surely she’s given a few more speeches and visited a few more cities since then. People are so busy watching the Biden marionette that I fear they’re taking their eye off the ball.

That is probably by design.
I’m a little late here, but surely it should be “the hide’n camp”.
Trump’s newest nickname for the politician formerly known as Slow Joe is Joe Hiden’ (sic; the correct English word would be hidin’ of course).
