GOP Failure Watch Part VI (Majority in House Edition) The Insurrection Caucus Sh*tshow.

It's interesting following the Twitter hearing that Taibbi has been revealed as a shill.

But what kind of shill?

1. He was played by Musk. Musk withheld the bad stuff on Republicans. Taibbi trashed his 'journalist credentials'

2. He wrote fanfic for Musk knowing that was the job and thus sold out his 'journalist credentials'

3. Taibbi was a red pilled fellow traveller all along

I have to say I mostly thought it was 2 - because that is how he built his lucrative substack but now i wonder if he really believes all his Russia Hoax stuff.

Taibbi: “We didn’t see one reference to moderation requests from the Trump campaign, the Trump WH, or Republicans generally.”

….didn’t see? Or didn’t look? Because it’s now known that there were “voluminous” requests from both the Trump WH *and* Republicans. https://t.co/RlEaWkBL5M

I know I'm going back on this, but wanted to relay a funny/chilling story my ex (yes, her again) told me.
As I have said before, she grew up in Ecuador. Growing up, her dad was a fairly successful shoe manufacturer. Most of the stuff he did was higher end, and often did customer orders, and occasionally delivered the shoes himself. So, he had a contract with the police, I think, in southern Colombia, possibly even Cali. I'm not sure where, but they would order boots he made every year or so. So he gets this one order, and it is a rush order, and they are willing to pay a lot for them. So her dad decides to take the the boots to them, on an overnight trip. And for some reason, takes my ex along with him. Keep in mind, this is late 1980s. So they get to the border, and since he made the occasional trip, knew it would be easy to cross as he had business (no bribes as he was wanted to do everything 100% legal). They get to the border in the evening, and they see that the border guards are FARC. He's worried, but he had dealt with them before without issue. As they get to the guard, he looks at the the boots they are wearing and see they are the ones he makes. But he's cool and does his salesman speech, or something, and they let him go.

It wasn't until they got back to Ecuador that he told my ex how much danger they were in.

 

We call the GOP performative. But when somebody like Rupar tags the GOP, that, too, is performative. That needs to go to the MSM so they can properly report the hypocrisy of the GOP.

 

It's not like the MSM isn't aware of this stuff. They're choosing not to write stories about it. The example given - Republican House leader McCarthy tweets a clearly antisemitic statement shortly before the election - the MSM didn't put any stories out there. Republicans being antisemitic is baked into their coverage. It's not news when a Republican does it. It is news when a Democrat does it - see stories about Ilhan Omar criticizing Israel - but not when the Republican leader does it. We have a whole thread about the conservatively biased media.

 

JFC people vote for this.

 

Exactly - like Biden's receipts today - how come the MSM can't write that story themselves without Biden's help?

Anyone and everyone knows the GOP plan to slash entitlements - except low attention voters, because the media don't cover it.
