You might ask your Democrat friends and relatives where they stand on a post-election “Truth and Reconciliation Commission”
Bringing this to their attention might start a few “interesting” discussions:
A professor at the University of California-Berkeley is pushing the idea for the creation of a commission after Election Day that will target President Donald Trump and all of those who “enabled” him.
Robert Reich, a UC Berkeley professor of public policy and a former labor secretary in the Clinton administration made his argument for a “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” this weekend on Twitter as he lamented when “this nightmare,” referring to Trump’s presidency would be over.
The committee, as suggested by Reich, would “erase Trump’s lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.”
His idea of blacklisting Trump supporters and launching a massive censorship campaign sparked plenty of supportive responses on the left. But Reich later slammed critics in another post, claiming they were “responding to this tweet as if it’s a radical, undemocratic idea.”
Not the least bit radical – no sir, of course not. How could anyone think such a thing?
And as far as “democratic” goes – well, I suppose it would be “democratic” (in the purest sense of the word) as well as “Democratic” to do this if over 50% of Americans agreed with it. And, who knows? Perhaps they do, thanks to the relentless leftist indoctrination in education and the leftist media propaganda to which we’ve been subjected for many years. But if the majority of Americans do believe it, that’s just another example of the brilliance of the Founders in setting the US up as a republic rather than as a democracy in which tyranny can easily take over through a simple majority.
The Democrats are doing their best to fix that little design flaw. They think such a governmental structure was a big big mistake, because they perceive it as having kept them from taking over completely.
[NOTE: I would imagine that some on the left will point out that in 2016, Trump supporters did something a bit equivalent by yelling “Lock her up!” about Hillary Clinton at some of his rallies. However, that was in reference to a very specific charge regarding the emails and classified information, not any sort of general cry to criminalize supporting Obama or boycotting anyone who had been part of his administration. Nor has the Trump administration pursued Hillary in any way except to criticize her.
Imprisoning former elected or appointed government officials (especially those high up in a previous administration of the opposing party) is always fraught with danger because of the banana republic and/or totalitarian implications. Best to use the tool only reluctantly and sparingly as well as very very specifically.]
On C-SPAN yesterday Kathleen Belew, who teaches at the University of Chicago, was also advocating this astonishingly pernicious idea, which seems to be gaining currency among those professors and pundits most infected by “woke” insanity, which they would, of course, describe as part of the quest for social justice and racial equality. Radical egalitarianism is likely to become further entrenched in the academy, in the MSM, and on almost all the platforms controlled by the totalitarian oligarchs of Silicon Valley should the senile and corrupt Biden attain victory next week.
In other words, a Ministry of Truth.
Now where have I heard that before?
Who’s truth? Well, truth is probably one of those white privilege concepts. He as a white male(?) has no authority to ask for such things as truth or reconciliation. Racial and other justice, punishment, and reparations must come first. Off with their heads! Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
Oh to be an intellectual.
Best definition of democracy I’ve ever seen, on Twitter the other day: “Democracy is three wolves and a lamb voting on what’s for dinner.”
I don’t know about the Democrats, but if we get a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, we won’t be allowed to stand. We’ll be forced to kneel before the Tribunal, at gunpoint. (If we refuse, our corpses will be lying there.)
Wars have consequences. We are at war; we just don’t want to acknowledge it.
I have spoken to a number of Vietnamese refugee-immigrants who personally, or whose family members, went through re-education camps after 1975. Survival was not assured. One woman told me the Regime had gone beyond re-educating former government officials or military, and was requiring that all of their sons attend when they reached 18 years. Her father survived, and led the family to escape before her brother turned 18. I think I have mentioned the former Army officer who also survived, then with his wife took to sea in a fishing boat. After several days they were picked up by an Israeli merchant ship and spent five years in Israel before coming to “the greatest country on earth”. (The Israelis treated them very well during the five years, and his children were born in Israel.)
So, is Mr Reich’s statement simply apocryphal? I hope we don’t have occasion to find out. We have learned from Covid that there are latent tyrants all around just looking for their opportunity. I am thinking of my Governor, Gruesome Newsom, among others.
Caesar crossed the Rubicon because his term of office was about to expire and then Pompey and the other Optimates would certainly ruin him and probably execute him.
Let’s not re-create Caesar’s incentives, shall we?
I think it’s hard to read much into Reich’s comment because it pretty clearly isn’t a serious thought. He and others suggesting it are just trying to outdo other Trump haters with their excessive rhetoric. It’s like how TA-Nehisi Coates started the trend of using “white supremacist” instead of racist because calling someone a racist no longer had the same sting.
The real Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa was about abuses during the Apartheid era and actually considered the wrongdoing by anti-Apartheid forces in addition to the white government. Would Reich’s Commission hear from the perpetrators of the Russia hoax?
I mean, who would even appear before the Trump inquisition? People who voted for him? Donated money to his campaign? Representatives and Senators who voted for his proposals? Brett Kavanaugh? What would the Commission offer to people to get them to participate? What if someone tells the Commission to go eff themselves?

Sometimes evil people actually tell you what they intend to do. Ignore them at your peril.
This is Fine. https://tenor.com/search/dog-this-is-fine-gifs
Selling the story to the people, ‘Run it up the flagpole and see who salutes’ is and old line from the 1950’s and in a well structured country run by ‘those who know better’ it is best if you are one who salutes, and they are watching to see if you do. These folk who want to define the truth and make sure we understand that they know what is best for us might be disappointed once more or they might just see themselves shifted to positions of power and I hope our nation is strong enough with enough regular common sense people who will tell them no. If the left gets in and wants to fix things, I am sorry but I will be busy that day when they, who decides the truth, want to see me about my thoughts and I might be busy with all the others who helped elect Trump and are not happy with the election.
Who would seriously consider giving the governors of states essentially unlimited power over First Amendment rights (worship, assembly) and over the ability to earn a living for however long in an emergency in response to a virus. They certainly would not abuse a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Nothing to see. Trust them. They mean well.
https://news.uchicago.edu/profile/kathleen-belew
Belew is apparently a sectary of the sort who invests obsessive interest in inconsequential political currents. Her brand is pretending they matter in some way. Pretty silly of Chicago to hire this woman. She’s reformatted her dissertation into a university press book and published a few articles in professional journals. Ordinarily, I don’t think that will suffice for tenure at a place like Chicago.
Reich is a lawyer who made a name for himself as a policy maven after a stint on the staff of the Federal Trade Commission. He landed a spot at the Kennedy School and wrote for general audiences. Those of us who read his magazine articles ca. 1984 were poleaxed to discover later that he had no background to speak of in economics, statistics, or formal policy analysis, nor had he ever actually worked in industry or urban planning. Kinda made all those books he wrote look like silly exercises.
However, he’d been a Rhodes Scholar and he knew Bill Clinton personally, and that landed him in the Secretary of Labor’s chair. The one thing I’ll say for him is that he had some critical distance from Clinton and was willing to say later that his day-to-day performance in office was erratic.
He’s one of those people who as he ages begins to behave quite peculiarly (divorcing his wife at the age of 66 – who does that?). Sort of reminds you of Wm. F. Buckley’s pal Jeffrey Hart. (It emerged after Hart died that he’d had a dementia diagnosis some years earlier; no surprise there).
I should note that someone in our abode subscribes to Reich’s Facebook posts. I doubt people who have to interact with him in meatspace take him all that seriously anymore.

No question Belew and Reich are serious about this. A year ago, I’d be pretty confident that no one off campus other than the current Sulzberger scion mismanaging The Times would give a rip about these people. With all the woke corporatism floating around, now I’m not so sure.
‘But Reich later slammed critics in another post, claiming they were “responding to this tweet as if it’s a radical, undemocratic idea.”’
The rest of post was quite revealing in that it included examples of such commissions, with the implication that no reasonable person could say there was anything wrong with them. These others investigated real, physical acts of violence–murders and massacres. The equating of those with anything Trump has done really constitutes a dropping of the vengeful authoritarian mask.
“… and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.”
Is that the ‘reconciliation’ part?
“Radical ideas are often thought to be unserious thoughts at first. Ignore that at your peril.”
Oh, that’s true. But unserious thoughts have a way of rebounding on those who think them. A lot of people who were very enthusiastic about the French Revolution ultimately found themselves strapped to a board and staring down at severed heads in the basket below them.
My point is…how do you respond to something like this? Point out how impractical is it? How insane? Propose similarly authoritarian auction from the Right? Punch Reich in the face and tell him there’s more where that came from? Show up at the Commission and put your .45 revolver on the table in front of you?
I mean, in the worst case scenario there are still going to be more than 60 million people who vote for Donald Trump in just over a week and Trump supporters will almost certainly be the majority in many if not most states. Does he think those people and their Trump-friendly local and state governments (and law enforcement and National Guard) are just going to be rendered comatose by Trump’s loss?
Mike
After Obama was elected there were calls to imprison Bush for the Iraq war. There were several in the Democrat party that counselled against criminalising policy differences. Looks like we are reverting back to the same idea which is not very different from the Roman period when the politicians made sure they had a nest egg to ward of inevitable attacks after they retired. With Trump’s 95% approval rating in the Republican party this will not go down well.
Robert Reich has been in the news for a long time. I recall reading about him in Time in 1968. A search engine confirmed my memory. Education: THE CYNICAL IDEALISTS OF ’68
I suspect that he has a rather high opinion of himself.
Robert Reich at 22: “We have to get over our fear of Communism or any other isms.: Giveb what he just said about T&R, I will add Robert Reichism to things to fear.
Worst case scenario they win. You find yourself in front of that commission. Good luck in the reeducation. If that is an option for one such as yourself. That’s what “worst” means.
“Worst case scenario they win. You find yourself in front of that commission.”
Everyone knows you were typing those sentences with one hand and Toobin-ing yourself with the other.
Mike
In one way, the proposal does leave an out, though: those whose “greed and cowardice” made it happen. I think a lot of us will fit into neither of those categories – for those who voted or advocated for the President out of a sense of civic courage or who volunteered out of a sense of the public good, not because they were mere mercenaries getting paid or hoping to line their pockets by snuggling up to The Donald later – all those people will be exempt. 🙂

You might remember that, according to a FBI infiltrator, Larry Grathwohl, who was in the room, Bill Ayres’ Weather Underground comrades–graduates from top rank universities, some with graduate degrees–were musing on how to set up the re-education camps that they were going to have to set up when they won their Revolution, and had to indoctrinate people into the “new way of thinking,” into accepting the new order.
Musing, as well, on how they were going to have to “eliminate” probably 25 million “die-hard capitalists,” who would resist such re-education.*

Reich (appropriately named, as in Third Reich!) scares the hell out of me.
I have seen this conduct in very short guys before. Their aggressiveness, even hostility, is to compensate for their very short stature. They are in my experience, generally very nasty males. They are the human equivalent of Jack Russell terriers, tiny little dogs that think they are mastiffs.
Merriam-Webster defines Reich as a dwarf: “Medical Definition of dwarf. (Entry 1 of 2) 1 : a person of unusually small stature especially : a person whose height does not exceed 4 feet 10 inches”. Reich is 4′ 9″.
He loves unions, affordable housing ( except in his own neighborhood), a $15 minimum wage, and a guaranteed annual income for all. Of course he also believes (raised, astronomical) taxes should cover all of this.
Snow on Pine
Bill Ayers..Musing, as well, on how they were going to have to “eliminate” probably 25 million “die-hard capitalists,” who would resist such re-education.*
Ayers denies saying so, with the not unexpected reply that it is an informant reporting this. If Ayers did say it, he was merely looking at the 2 mega-countries that turned Commie, Russia and China, in which 25 million gone in each country was a fairly accurate body count. That is, it would have been to Ayers’s credit to have made a realistic prediction of 25 million gone in the US in the event of a Commie takeover.
If Ayers never said that, and is SHOCKED that someone could have thought that a Commie takeover of the US would result in 25 million gone, then he is a damned fool.What Ayers has said about Hugo Chavez is good indication he is a damned fool. He swallowed the Chavista Koo-Aid in his 2006 visit to foster son Chesa Boudin in Caracas, when there was ample evidence lurking in various datbases and websites that even at the height of Chavismo’s popularity among the “woke” in the developed world, Chavismo’s “accomplishments” were smoke and mirrors.
Enough already of the insults, you 2. STIFLE!
There is a disturbance in the farce.
So what is at issue here? Nuclear war? Invaders from Mars? An agricultural collapse and mass starvation?
No. Feelings.
It is because of hurt feelings. The emotional volatility and imbalance of the leftist person goes on display again.
No loss of property, speech rights, freedom of movement, or economic liberty. All protected or increased. No wars involved.
Yet these pan sexual church lady inclusion freak lunatics are ready to start a civil war because their inclusion node has not received sufficient public massaging and worship to suit them; and the dreams they personally happen to dream have not been elevated to a national religion.
Have these malfunctioning narcissistic twerps any idea of what they are opening themselves up to? Even if they ” win”, it will only be to see their victory turn to ruins as they are devoured by the invasive forces they have invited in and given free rein.
I only pray that if comes to this state of affairs, the tail wagging sheep dogs, do for once in their stolidly conformist lives, manage to force themselves to stand back and to let nature take its course. But I fear not.
There are just so many goddamned masochists in this civilization, who pant for the chance to give the scorpion a ride on their back. ” Because, that is what we do too. And it feels so good to do it. Even if it is ultimately self destructive and we die pointlessly for our “good deeds””
The crazy female of both sexes and the tail wagging male, ready, willing and eager to serve and protect the insane for the reward of a kick in the ass. Quite a pair.

Robert Reich is a certified member of the NIMBY gentry. I am reminded of attending a planning commission meeting where a resident was vehemently against a 4-5 story apartment being built downhill from his residence because it would ruin his view.
Barry, your passing on that post from ZeroHedge reminds me of the owner of the local outlet of a certain food-specialty chain, who four years ago made a bit of noise locally by loudly proclaiming that he didn’t want any customer with a MAGA hat in his store, or something to that effect. (I forget the exact wording, but the point was that he was trying to ostentatiously shoo away Trump supporters from shopping at his store. There was some letter to the editor or some announcement on the store’s blog or something that he wrote.) And, truth be told, I’ve never been there since. Not that I was in any sense a regular before, but still. I just wonder now whether he’s still there, and if so, what his reaction might be this time around.
I liked that letter from Mr. Rothschild, by the way. I’ll take it upon myself to interact with one of the items in it in the hope of making a deep and profound point of my own (*):
It occurred to me yesterday while listening to a Douglas Murray interview in which they get to describing something like this idea that if one were to draw a Venn diagram of people’s various group identifications, over most of this country’s history (“this country” = USA in this case), it would look like a bunch of different-colored blobs that overlap to varying degrees. (See, now I wish I could tack on a whiteboard doodle here.) Thus, say you have a blob representing all the Democrats. Historically, that blob would overlap with the one for Midwesterners, the one for Southerners, the one for Catholics, the one for Baptists (admittedly less so than with the Catholic one), the one for comic-book enthusiasts, the one for weightlifters, etc. etc. And the Democrat blob would not necessarily be at the center of one’s personal Venn diagram universe, either. Similar would happen for Republicans, etc.
The point is that looking at such a universe, one would quickly see that, while the Dem and Rep blobs would not intersect directly, they would be connected indirectly via the golfers’ blob, say, having some surface area common to either of those. Maybe the Rep-overlapping corner of the golfers blob is a little bigger than the one sharing real estate with the Dem blob, but there was cross-representation for both in any event.
What we’re gravitating toward these days, potentially, is a situation in which the many many blobs start to separate more than they used to, as they do in a lava lamp, but the separations become more lasting and the membranes between each get a little less penetrable. The Methodist blob, for example, starts to overlap more completely with the Democrat blob, and the comic-book enthusiast blob slides over more on top of both of those, while the electricians blob slides away more from the Dem blob and onto the Rep blob.
Not all behave like this, necessarily – in this election cycle, the Black blob, for example, which has for quite a while been almost completely encompassed by the Dem blob, is starting to see a little extrusion out into the Rep blob, which may be pulling a little more area away from the rest of the Black blob over to itself. But by and large, eventually, if the process continues long enough, a ton of the blobs segregate into silos. When you reach that state, you have essentially separate nations, whether consciously self-selected or otherwise. And that is when the bad stuff can start to happen.
Hence, it’s the lack of cross-pollination that eventuates which can set us up for a civil-war scenario, I think. Not the fact of tribalism as such, necessarily, given that I am understanding the term ‘tribalism’ in this context to mean these blobs being each, in a manner, its own ‘tribe’. What saves that system from self-destruction is the overlap, to at least some extent, of all of the various blobs – that is, as long as one’s membership in one ‘tribe’ doesn’t inevitably determine or correlate too strongly with membership in all of one’s other ‘tribes,’ society still works. Obviously, some blobs are by nature mutually immiscible, such as ‘Christian’/’atheist’ or ‘chess player’/’life of the party’ (**). But that’s okay; as long as some of the blobs somewhere have meaningful overlap, things can work civically.
Now, while I note well the directive that “the map is not the terrain” – in other words, what I am describing here is a conceptual model not to be confused with the real flesh and blood of what is modelled – I bet some bright soul could take this illustration and start to wonder: precisely how much do the blobs have to segregate before the tipping point is reached? What area percentage has to be shared by however many blobs, or conversely, how far do the blob clusters have to come apart, before we have Spain in 1936? Is there some additional requirement for that scenario to eventuate? – a flammable additive, so to speak?
(think fire triad: fuel-heat-oxygen – need all three for a blaze – this is why the Netherlands never blew up in spite of the siloed nature of postwar Dutch society as I understand it: no heat supplied)

Reich has now declared himself entirely willing to cut down all the laws in order to get after those he sees as the devil. Such men never give even the least consideration to the resulting winds that will blow.
So I too take Reich’s proposal seriously. If the left does manage to steal this election, I have no doubt that AOC, Harris and the rest of their ilk will be fully on board with Reich’s proposal. The only disagreement will be as to when they think it can be accomplished.
Make no mistake, they are absolutely certain that we deplorables must be neutered, our children reeducated and those of us that prove “irredeemable”, be sent to the killing fields. Those whose motivation is visceral hate, do not hesitate to murder, while declaring it justifiable.
om, shouldn’t the Chief Justice be taking that on?
Update: ACB is confirmed 52-48 vote. Good for Trump, McConnell, ACB, and the USA.

Phillip Sells @ 6:36 pm,
Whistling past the graveyard is a hope, not a strategy.
Those who would create a “Truth” and Reconciliation Commission have already reached their verdict. Your participation on this blog is all the ‘evidence’ they will need. It’s their ‘truth’ they’re interested in, not your ‘imagined’ non-existent objective truth.
It has been speculated that given the abuse Clarence Thomas received during his confirmation hearing—most prominently at the hands of Joe Biden—this is a decision fraught with symbolism.
On the other hand, it’s also quite possible that some people have too much of an imagination….
(And on the third hand…Obadiah 1:15….)
Trump has a “Hat Trick” on the Supremes ! A single the first time around was worth my vote and I expressed that here on Neo’s blog. Thank you Jesus !
A couple weeks ago at my cafe I let my conservatism slip in a political discussion at the table. The most die-hard lib all but hissed at me, “You must admit your white privilege.” He was a 73 year-old, retired, white, postal worker with a literal subscription to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
I summoned up my most articulate thoughts on the subject and exclaimed, “Bullshit!” (This is why I do my debating online.)
Then the lib guy to my right tried to come up behind to pin my arms behind me so the others could beat me up. But it was just a joke, don’t you see?!
I was too fast. I stood up out of my chair and said with a glare, “Don’t you dare!” as Clint Eastwood as I could. (Not very.)
We all calmed down and sorta made up. But that’s where things are these days. And if Pres. Harris decides to get a “Truth & Reconciliation Commission” going, I don’t expect these guys in my corner.

“How long,” Hertsgaard asked, “before we hold the ultimate authors of such climate catastrophes accountable for the miseries they inflict?”

If they put the Trump supporters in jail, they will find their tax revenue is even more inadequate than they fear it is today.
People like Reich and Olbermann are thinking about revenge by criminalizing politics. Yet, tonight, a brilliant judge was confirmed to the SCOTUS. She understands the law. I don’t think these “truthers” do. Since when has being a member of a political party or voting for a candidate been against the law? Since when has serving honorably in an administration been against the law? If they (Reich and Olbermann) can show where anyone has actually committed a crime, then let them bring it before a Grand Jury. That is the way things work here. If not, then the law no longer matters. In which case, it’s no longer time for the ballot box, but for the cartridge box.
A Truth and Reconciliation Commission means war and not a cold war, but a hot one. I don’t think Reich and Olbermann understand that or are prepared for it. Molon labe!
