Questions and Quotes

 

"WHAT IS A JOURNALIST?" This question was posed at a far-right MAGA blog. Obviously only "politically correct" answers were allowed.

But I couldn't resist and replied in my usual manner.

Yes, now we're clear.

"Good journalist" = anyone praising and shilling for Trump.

"Bad Journalist" = anyone reporting facts Trump doesn't want reported

"Good blogger" =  anyone deleting a "bad journalist".

This is how we know for certain Democrats are communists, protestors are paid communists, “bad journalists” are the “enemy of the people”, Biden stole the 2020 election, and they're eating the dogs in Springfield.

(Obvioulsy my response wasn't published.)

This inspired me to raise a few questions of my own.

Here are just a few such queries that a justice and democracy-supporting patriot would ask, but a Criminal President, his regime, and his supporters don't want to answer.

What kind of regime labels protestors as "domestic terrorists", the press as "the enemy of the people", educators as "communists", and political opponents as the "enemy within"?

What kind of leader orders his politicized law enforcement agency to arrest anyone he hates, including the former Black President?

What kind of leader throws non-violent people into concentration camps who committed fewer crimes than the leader?

And what kind of person supports that regime? What kind of person will ignore or not respond to these questions?

Perhaps a look in the mirror would offer an answer for those fanatic followers of their malevolent mendacious messiah.

Florida Representative Jared Moskowitz (D) held up a metaphorical mirror for Republicans at Jack Smith's House Judiciary Committee hearing on January 22nd.

Here are some quotes. 'Cause I heard one of my colleagues call you (Smith) a hypocrite. Here are some quotes from my colleagues.

Chairman Jordan, right after January 6th, "Stop the violence, support Capitol Police."

Ted Cruz, "Those storming the Capitol need to stop right now. The Constitution protects, but not violence."

Chip Roy, "Today the people's House was attacked, which is an attack on the Republic itself."

Steve Scalise, "United States Capitol Police saved my life."

Lindsey Graham, "When it comes to accountability, the president needs to understand his actions were the problem." 

Troy Nehls, oh my God, him again. "I'm happy to stand shoulder to shoulder with Capitol Police."

Darrell Issa, "The violence and turmoil we witnessed in Washington, D.C. was completely unacceptable."

Rep. McClintock, "The attack on Capitol strikes the most sacred act of our democracy."

And former Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, whose name we heard a lot today, what did he have to say about it? "Let me be clear, last week's violence attack on the Capitol was undemocratic, un-American, and criminal. And make no mistake, those who were responsible should be brought to justice."

The president bears responsibility! Period. Or exclamation point.

But let's talk also about, you know, the present. That's the past. Let's talk about the present. These are the guys who created the weaponization committee for the DOJ. So let's talk about the present.

Jerome Powell facing investigation, okay? In fact, we heard about Jonathan Turley, that he's some legal messiah. Jonathan Turley calls the Jerome Powell thing "legitimate concerns of retaliation."

Lisa Cook, under investigation. Mark Kelly, United States Senator, under investigation. Adam Schiff, United States Senator, under investigation.

Eric Swalwell, United States Representative, under investigation. Chris Christie, potentially under investigation.

Jack Smith. Oh, that's you! Under investigation. Okay, Miles Taylor, former chief of staff United United States Department of Homeland Security, under investigation. Christopher Krebs, former director of cyber security, under investigation.

Indicted, James Comey, Leticia James, John Bolton. It's weird that they indicted John Bolton but stole his foreign policy. Accused of crimes, former President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama. 

Revoked or threatened with revocation of Secret Service protection, Kamala Harris, Hunter Biden, Ashley Biden, the daughter of President Joe Biden, Mayorkas, Mike Pompeo, Brian Hook, General Mark Milley, John Bolton, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the guy Trump gave a medal to.

Security clearance revoked Joe Biden, Anthony Blinken, Jacob Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Leticia James, Alvin Bragg, Andrew Weisman, Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Kamala Harris, Adam Kinzinger, Fiona Hill, Alexander Vindman, Miles Taylor.

I can keep going any questions about any of that?

Thank you, Representative Moskowitz.

One answer and the most generous characterization we can offer to the kind of person who supports that regime is, "Hypocrite". 

As for what kind of person the Criminal President is, well, the facts and evidence make it abundantly clear. For that answer I refer the gentle reader to my previous assessments. 

For holding a mirror to Republicans, Jared Moskowitz has earned a "Dave Dubya Handshake". (The Great British Baking Show fans will get the reference.)
