An interesting aspect of this story is that once again the Bidenistas stepped on a rake straight out of the front door, and had to abandon their agenda. Anyone else remember the door-to-door vaxx knockers? Federal vaxx mandates? Federal mask mandates? Sanctioning Russia only for the ruble to become the top-performing currency of the year? The Afghan withdrawal? (Okay that last wasn't part of their agenda but still).

God has blessed us with incompetent enemies.

I'm frankly shocked that they disbanded on public opinion. Dollars to donuts they just sacrificed Commisarina Looneytunes to the mob and moved the whole operation back to the basement.

"God has blessed us with incompetent enemies". For which we are eternally grateful! I don't recall reading of any nation, in my ovedr half century as an amateur historian, cursed with a ruling class so brazenly incompetent - or stupid. Even the inbred royal houses of Europe had the occasional sane scion, capable of complex thought - some were even able to master walking and chewing gum. Concurrently. There is some question as to where our current leaders stand in regard to that time honoured measure.

They pretend to stupidity while their real intention is to destroy us from within.

When Republicans screw up, that's the media's story. When Democrats screw up, the Republicans' reaction is their story. If they didn't have double standards, they would have none at all.

"Democracy dies in darkness, and her job is to turn off the lights."

nailed it. that's probably the best characterization of this generation of WaPo writers.

Amazing. As always, but maybe it’s hard to not be amazing with such fodder as Taylor Lorenz. The worst part is, I hate that I know who she is. Like I don’t want to know who the Kardashians are, I’d rather not know who Taylor Lorenz is, either. 😂

Alex Berenson brought me to Substack. I don't remember a time in my life that I stopped to read every word of every post someone makes....until Chris Bray. Sorry for making all my friends hate you with my oversharing.

yes me too. Stackers like Chris Bray and euggypius produce just the right amount and length - not to short, not to long - for keeping me engaged and making me want to read it all to the end. The quality and witt makes them stand out of the masses.

Stack on!

I could have written this exactly. Where has the writing of Chris Bray been my whole adult life??

“Democracy dies in darkness, and her job is to turn off the lights.”

So good!

It wasn't just right-wing "attacks," Taylor, it was criticism from liberty-loving citizens of all political stripes including yours truly.

She has no idea what that means.

"Not making it through your own competency, you turn to utilizing left-wing ideology!"

The rise of the mediocre and the art of unearned fame.

The best part is that a lot of the "attacks" were literally just people reposting her own social media posts. HOW DARE YOU!

That's the part that gets "Libs of Tiktok" in Twitter jail all the time.

This takedown is just a thing of beauty! These people need frequent public humiliation for their blatant disregard for the truth itself.

Busted: Biden’s “Minster of Truth” Nina Jankowicz Participated in Secret NATO-Funded Cabal to Subvert Western Democracies Using Disinformation as Cover

May 16, 2022 (2d ago)

Then you trot out Taylor Lorenz to say, "Nothing to see here!" It's Pravda, it's Stasi.

It's a coordinated operation. Not conspiracy. It's Operation Mockingbird except they don't have to make any pretense about it. It's legal to propagandize the American public, and even when it wasn't? Who was going to stop them?

The same people who lie to Congress, who surveil Congress, who surveil journalists? And Congress won't even touch them. (Schumer: "The I-C has six ways to Sunday...)

Note that Taylor Lorenz will hide behind woke IDPOL, which is yet another way that Woke is an op.

The Op happens at the Human Resources level. "Taylor, you're gonna fit in well around here. Just like Akela Lacey and Ken Klippenstein at The Intercept."

How does it end?

I don't know if my central premise that we have a Napoleon the Pig Shadow State ruling the world behind a two Puppet Uniparty, Faking it in a Two Party Paradigm are 100% accurate.

But when you look at it through that lens....a whole bunch of stuff is rapidly explained.

The headline freaking killed me 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️😡😒🙄🤣 <-felt ALL the feelings

So the TITLE of her piece, pored over by how many “editors” and “fact-checkers” before publication to a national audience, is “How the Biden Administration let right-wing attacks derail its disinformation efforts.”

So the referent of “it’s” is the “Biden Administration.” So we gotta protect the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S DISINFORMATION EFFORTS. OK, got it! Another “own goal of “unconscious confession” brought to you by the ‘tards living kickass lives in the editorial offices of the mockingbird media!

Good catch!

Chris, the Big Frame you started your article with holds a mirror which Taylor and her ilk refuse to look at... It's their playbook!

Alex Berenson and Gato Malo both published about this at about the same the time you did. Your's is the best!

But Gato Malo's was a pretty close second. "This is flat-out memelord entrapment."
