Not just a lie and not even just a Big Lie: Democrats invert the tuth
Or maybe an inversion of the truth is what a Big Lie is, as opposed to a regular lie.
Biden and coal plants – who are you going to believe, us now or your lying ears before?
… Biden decided to tell voters that his administration would be shutting down coal plants all across America and transitioning to wind and solar power during an unnecessary trip to California…
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre issued a statement:
“The President’s remarks yesterday have been twisted to suggest a meaning that was not intended; he regrets it if anyone hearing these remarks took offense. The President was commenting on a fact of economics and technology: as it has been from its earliest days as an energy superpower, America is once again in the midst of an energy transition. Our goal as a nation is to combat climate change and increase our energy security by producing clean and efficient American energy. Under President Biden, oil and natural gas production has increased, and we are on track to hit the highest production in our country’s history next year. He is determined to make sure that this transition helps all Americans in all parts of the country, with more jobs and better opportunities; it’s a commitment he has advanced since Day One. No one will be left behind.”
Blabity blah blah blah. This is what Biden had said:
So much that Democrats say these days is an inversion of truth. But Democrat voters don’t seem to hear it that way. In fact, when the MSM engaged in a very rare and mild bout of truth-telling about Biden, many Democrats said “How dare they!”. They are accustomed to the MSM being the propaganda arm of the party:
A New York Times piece pointing out President Biden’s gaffes from his Tuesday speech angered liberals on Twitter.
Furious leftists on the platform swarmed the Times senior political reporter Maggie Haberman’s tweet linking to the story, viciously insulting her and the report for making Biden and Democrats look bad…
On Tuesday, the Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker detailed the gaffes from Biden’s speech in a short article titled, “Biden Verbally Fumbles, Twice, During Campaign Trip in Florida.”
In it, he wrote, “President Biden verbally fumbled during a campaign swing in Florida on Tuesday, confusing the American war in Iraq with the Russian war in Ukraine, and then he fumbled again while he tried to correct himself, misstating how his son Beau died in 2015.”
And of course “fumble” is itself a euphemism for what Biden exactly did. Iraq and Ukraine maybe, but the circumstances of the tragic death of his own son? Not a fumble. Not exactly a lie, either; evidence of cognitive decline coupled with Biden’s history of easy mendacity.
Some of the reactions to the Times even mentioning it instead of ignoring it as they usually do:
User “Beth” wrote, “It’s really sad what you think your job is, with your giant f—ing megaphone, during an attempted fascist takeover of our democracy.”
Jamesetta Williams wrote, “Maggie limits the comments when she knows the article she is sharing is problematic. Biden misspoke on Ukraine and quickly corrected himself, that is not news. It’s well documented that Biden believes his son got cancer from burn pits in Iraq, he did not misspeak.”
What Biden actually said about his son was that his son “lost his life in Iraq.”
CNN has also shocked the left by actually fact-checking Biden in a fairly straightforward manner on a number of issues.
Perhaps they’re getting ready to replace Biden. But it does surprise me that they’re doing this truth-telling exercise prior to the midterms. Then again, they’ve either given up on the mid-terms or they know that the fix is in. I don’t know which it is.
they’ve either given up on the mid-terms or they know that the fix is in. I don’t know which it is.
While being overly optimistic may be foolish, I think it’s also irrational to be too pessimistic with regards to how many votes the Democrats can actually steal. In the months leading up to this election I’ve notices a lot of ultra cynical Conservatives who seem convinced that there’s no real limit to the ability of corrupt leftist election officials to manufacture votes for their team and convince the masses that everything’s above board. Of course I could be wrong, but either way I guess we’ll know shortly.
Urban Dictionary: cracked out of turn
In “con speak” it’s what happens when someone accidentally speaks out of turn and ruins the con itself.
“I had totally gotten away with it until my little brother cracked out of turn.”
The converse of cracking out of turn is to always deny the truth, or better yet amplify the con. This either is or looks a lot like inverting the truth.
this explains it, as much as anything

Yawn. They lie about EVERYTHING.
And then they lie about lying.
(They’re incredibly consistent!!)
Some people are waking up to it. Depends on how many.
The media covers for them…and conveniently covers up their coverups. Most of the time, at least.
Some people already know but don’t care, so effectively has “Biden” & Co. demonized the Republicans.
And yes, if the fix is in, then it may not matter how many lies they tell or cover up….
It is a never ending puzzle to me how reasonable, educated people can devote their lives to following delusions like “Climate Change,” and ending fossil fuels. I expect this winter to educate some but the young will still remain as true believers.
I still don’t believe they will get rid of Biden any time soon because all the alternatives are seemingly worse, but it does seem like they’re lengthening Biden’s leash a bit more recently leading to all sorts of “fumbles” and “gaffes”. These fumbles are now actually being noticed by the MSM, which does make me a little suspicious. I guess we’ll know for sure that they are planning to get rid of old Joe if they let him loose at an opening of an elementary school.
it’s like an endless sideshow bob stepping on rakes, but granholm, haaland et al are dead serious about cancelling fossil fuels, the latter has a direct financial incentive, as for john kerry,
Democrats seem increasingly aware that they can’t nominate Biden in 2024. He’s being thrown under the bus, but I am surprised it’s before the midterms. I thought it would start next week.
I know that I prefer my ” tuth ” non inverted.
here we go again

When Biden made his statement about replacing coal plants with wind and solar – just hook them up to the existing power lines – with conviction and no hint of doubt, I knew that the man has gone completely over the edge. This madman/clown is POTUS. Unbelievable! He and his party deserve to be inundated by a RED WAVE. May it come to pass.
I need new conspiracy theories. Every single one of my old ones turned out to be completely true.
I recall, I think in one of my undergrad political science classes (so, circa 1992-96) an estimate that leftward media bias gave the Dems a roughly 10 point advantage in Presidential elections. That if we had a genuinely objective media, or an evenly divided partisan media (which was the case through most of U.S. history, actually), the popular vote would be closer to 60-40 for the GOP.
That’s 25+ years ago, back when the media still at least made the effort to APPEAR unbiased. How much do they move the needle now?
And it looks like, it looks like—Yikes!! Can it BE??? Yes IT CAN!!—ANOTHER LIBERAL HISTORIAN!!
“LATimes Op-Ed Says Press “Failing Americans’ By Treating Both Parties Equally”—
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/los-angeles-times-op-ed-says-press-failing-americans-treating-both-parties-equally
(This “tour de force” is so WAY OFF THE CHARTS…it’s broken the GIGO counter…)
Opening grafs (Read The Whole [Rollicking, ROTFL] Thing)
‘History professor Robert S. McElvaine recently wrote an op-ed piece for the Los Angeles Times in which he stated that journalists are “failing Americans” by insisting on treating both political parties equally….
‘…McElvaine claimed that the United States is in “the final stages of the most critical election for the survival of the American experiment since 1864” and added that journalists bear responsibility for protecting America’s future from “right-wing” extremists.
‘ He wrote: “America’s future hangs on the defeat of the right-wing extremist authoritarians who have seized the name of Lincoln’s party. If we lose, news corporations and journalists with a misplaced sense of ‘balance,’ ‘neutrality’ and ‘nonpartisanship’ will bear a considerable share of the blame.” Down with balance, neutrality, and nonpartisanship! Screw objectivity! To hell with equal treatment, justice, fairness, equality, and equity when it comes to “journalists'” duty to the people!….Mass indoctrination is the last, best hope for democracy!…’
Barry-
The really scary part is he thinks the media treats both parties equally.
Yep, lots of “scary” stuff out there….

“I came across the term ‘celebration parallax’, apparently coined by the American conservative writer Michael Anton in his book ‘The Stakes: America at the Point of No Return’….A fact pattern is either true and glorious or false and scurrilous depending on who states it.”
That also explains the Dems in John Nolte’s post that you also linked, who proclaim that the 2022 election is going to be undermined (in favor of the Republicans) by the same things that never happened in the perfect 2020 election (in favor of the Democrats), because of who is making the charges.
Kind of like one man’s fortifying an election is another man’s rigging the votes.
Ben Franklin was out in front of Anton on this, not surprisingly (in “1776”):
“A rebellion is always legal in the first person – our rebellion; it is only in the third person – their rebellion – that it is illegal.”
