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).

I’m a little late here, but surely it should be “the hide’n camp”.

“People are so busy watching the Biden marionette that I fear they’re taking their eye off the ball.” – Philip

That is probably by design.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

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!!

“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.
