Well that is just the epitome of woke cancel culture ain’t it? Jump on an event or statement and misrepresent it by spreading the disinformation they so often wrongly accuse others of and hope the fact checkers cover your ass with their misinformation and also hope the howls of the Wokery drown out truth and common sense. In the past few years it worked well but now they are getting found out they literally don’t know what to do... how much more professional and sincere does Kari Lake come across than this other lot. I say this as neither a Republican nor a Democrat... Lake is measured unlike this hyperbolic snap judgement akin to teenage sneering. Lake uses actual facts and data, well analysed rather than juvenile woke rhetoric. I could go on and on but you get the picture. Even, or especially if you are a Democrat, if you want to save your state and country and the entire West from anarchy vote Lake. Next time you modems can vote Dem, if the party gets it act together and dumps the WEF elites.
Hobbs is so desperate at this point it’s what the kids call “cringey”. She wouldn’t debate anyone - including her own democratic opponent, she’s completely unprepared for any questions whatsoever...this was inevitable - what a pathetic stunt. Lake is a total badass - I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone as verbally nimble and vicious as Lake is - and she was a genius at marketing herself. Before the media was giving her any coverage she hit the podcast circuit hard reaching out to the younger crowd until she was impossible to ignore. She’s a force of nature. Being in AZ myself I’m a bit of a fan girl.
I wonder how many voters in AZ will vote for Hobbs? If she manages to get even 40% of the vote, that’s pretty pathetic that so many people are programmed to vote democrat with this turd of a candidate. They are just unreachable
At a certain time, women adopted a babysoft all-girly voice quality to show that they were not intimidating, although they could still be smart, like Barbie.
In control, the perception of smart, is the issue.
Hey...what else have they got? They’re losing big time. Their candidate is a flake who refuses to debate, and her stated positions on things that matter to AZ voters, like crime and border security are stunningly unpopular...at least now they have “an issue” they can actually talk to the very supportive press about.
They certainly like to be classified as victims, thou they are rarely actually victimised. Might get a dose of reality if they were actually victimised I suspect, not that I am advocating that, got to be better than these shrieking Wokes in their Wokery...
The very supportive press is the only thing keeping the Democrat Party alive. An honest press would savage them to fourth (or fifth) party status in a month or less. From California to New York and from state office to federal, putting what these people say and do before the public in plain English would drive these politicians to another country.
What was it that Mencken said about the end-stage?
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
Or, y'know... a corrupt demented geriatric child-molester. Potato-potahto.
And if the Peak Grifter has those characteristics, it makes sense to expect low quality more broadly.
I wonder what the average Cardinal was like when the Borgia family had that string of Popes that time. Ditto the average Bishop.
This is unfair to the admittedly psychopathic but extremely effective Borgias. Who were undone by the Pope and Cesare getting malaria at the same time, the Pope died.
Cesare died in battle, BTW.
The Cardinals were what one expects of Italian Princes of the time. > A more modern example is the wild cutting of Renaissance Tuscany preserved in the wilds of Corsica to emerge some centuries later- Napoleon Bonaparte. < this was the contemporary judgment of the man.
That’s what the Cardinals were like when we Papists ran things, sigh.
Educated by worthless parasites, worshipping at the alter of the unearned their entire lives and devoid of critical thinking skills, individuals like Hobbs, content to be a wine mom 50 years ago, get it in their heads that they somehow deserve to rule over us. Watching reality smack her in the face is high entertainment. She has an opportunity to change for the better and settle into something more befitting of her skill set --- Subway sandwich artist. I'll take extra pickles on that club, please..
She has a "little girl voice" and the guy beside her has a "little boy" voice. Children, they're all children.
"No politician of any party at any previous moment would have been dumb enough to jump off the cliff of Watergate rhetoric before having any information at all, not knowing if it would hold up." Yes, but in this moment, we have trained our political children that what they say first gets heard, and remembered, and the truth is immaterial because Mommy and Daddy (meaning the media) will clean up their mess.
It is like the logical end of Bernayism, marketing as a means of manipulation, and six years since year zero. The echo chamber of your venn diagram of the imperial party apparatus, whatever you repeat enough becomes the truth.
Chris, well put. I have observed this phenomenon in all walks of life. Believe it, or not, this is happening at the Federal Reserve. Unless you are a real economist you don’t notice, but the Fed is managing things like they only took a few days of Econ 101. They do speak well, which is different than many of these politicians, but what they are saying is so shallow that it terrifies me.
Um, Chris? Katie can’t help it if she has sexy baby vocal virus, ok? Maybe if you’d just give her six feet and wear a mask it will protect her, from it worsening. Because she definitely already caught it. (Hope you laugh. We need to laugh) https://youtu.be/sY_6fFdRnik
Did you see the link? My friend and I have gotten SO much mileage on that. If we hear someone in a coffeehouse or wherever, we grab each other with a satisfying one second look.

Hopefully she doesn’t have a PayPal account with that misinformation fine thingy… oh, wait.
Beautifully written Adrian! "Howls of the wokery" genius!! Love it!
Ditto that.
It's currency. Absolutely!
Nailed 'em.
Exactly!!

The voice and the enunciation of every word she utters gives me the heebie-jeebies. Like an evil 12-year-old Valley girl.
"We are heeere to tock about murderin' babies 'n inflation and stuff, you stupid newsperson. I am so like totally shuurrr."
I have an involuntary physical response to her voice, like a whole-body clenching. It's uncomfortable to hear her.
At a certain time, women adopted a babysoft all-girly voice quality to show that they were not intimidating, although they could still be smart, like Barbie.
In control, the perception of smart, is the issue.
Like Marilyn Monroe.
She had it all. A total babe wanting to be taken seriously. As herself, a vulnerable human.
Sometimes when I hear intelligent women "acting" cutesy I want to say "Use your big girl voice." Have not said that aloud yet.
I can quite easily relate to that sentiment! ;)
Most of my communications these days is TYPED... I do a lot of barking, tho.
Yeah, me, too!
Ace calls her Abortion Mouse.
😂
Spot on description. Every time I hear her I think "emo tween".

This stupidity has been working for them for a while now... But the tide is turning, on so many levels... Thank Dog.

Yeah, I got more Papacy here...
Love Mencken. Will now go and re-read some of his maunderings.
Could you be his favored son Chris?
I, personally, think it was her “Hail Mary” moment, to use a football analogy. Facts are, it sunk like a stone.
If you think we've actually hit bottom, it's time to re-watch Idiocracy.
Educated by worthless parasites, worshipping at the alter of the unearned their entire lives and devoid of critical thinking skills, individuals like Hobbs, content to be a wine mom 50 years ago, get it in their heads that they somehow deserve to rule over us.

“Watching reality smack her in the face is high entertainment. “ 💯 indeed.
Now that you mention political antiquity, i.e. the Watergate break-in half a century ago— Doesn’t Hobbs seem a bit like a “Doonesbury” caricature
Hard to believe that Hobbs is nearing her 53rd birthday--and has a decade of high-level experience in state politics.
I guess that depends on what you believe about state politics.
I don't find it all that strange. There are plenty even more pathetic critters in more powerful positions.
They turn up to meetings, then get their friends to turn up.
Then they take over your party. And turn it into something unrecognisable.
Good people, good citizens need to engage with politics at all levels.
Not because you want to, but because you have to. And do now.
She has a "little girl voice" and the guy beside her has a "little boy" voice. Children, they're all children.
"No politician of any party at any previous moment would have been dumb enough to jump off the cliff of Watergate rhetoric before having any information at all, not knowing if it would hold up."

They are indeed infantilism incarnate.
Its Michael Fsking Jackson-
....
Yep.

It’s especially noticeable in the Fed. Jay Powell doesn’t seem intelligent at all. And their actions are proving it.
"We’ve Peter Principled all the way out to the very end of the idea." EXCELLENT!
"...as a direct result of a concerted campaign of lies and intimidation."
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!! OMG!! MY SIDES!!! This is too damned funny to make up! They are certifiable...
Um, Chris? Katie can’t help it if she has sexy baby vocal virus, ok? Maybe if you’d just give her six feet and wear a mask it will protect her, from it worsening. Because she definitely already caught it. (Hope you laugh. We need to laugh) https://youtu.be/sY_6fFdRnik
I will always give Katie Hobbs way more than six feet, I promise.
Did you see the link? My friend and I have gotten SO much mileage on that. If we hear someone in a coffeehouse or wherever, we grab each other with a satisfying one second look.
I did, and she nailed the voice.
Right? 😆😑
🤣🤣🤣
