Maybe a sign of things to come, Republican Samantha Kerkman becomes the first Republican Kenosha County executive. Also Maria Lazar won election on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, beating a liberal incumbent.

Kenosha received a hard push to the right. Not, ironically, from the riots themselves. Instead, from the Rittenhouse trial. There was hardly an ear in Kenosha not tuned to it, and who was suddenly aware of the actual details and not the media spin.

All while the media was still trying to spin it around them.

Ideologues on the left can twist themselves into all sorts of pretzels. Normal people much less so. Kenosha had a lot of normal people with some sudden, harsh contradictory thoughts.

Like: "Gee, what if I'm in the middle of a state sponsored riot and I defend myself?"

Much worse for the dems, "If CNN is lying so much about this, what else have they lied to me about?"

Saw this quote in a leddit thread the other day: "The news is always right, until they talk about something you know about"

I doubt you have any insight, but why would the media/DA expend political capital going after kyle, when a public trail would by its very nature unwind the narative. wouldnt it have been best to push a stern but workable plea deal?

A plea deal would have been too merciful. They wanted to punish him for not letting their attack dogs kill him.

The Left have no concept of mercy or clemency. They will seek your utter annihilation for even slightly getting in the way of their quest for absolute power. Even if you grovel at their feet and swear allegiance to them for life, they will not forgive you. All they have to offer is a lifetime of humiliation and self-abasement.

Thomas Flufferboy Binger is an evil bastard, and I hope his career is in shambles.

Saw this quote in a leddit thread the other day: "The news is always right, until they talk about something you know about"

That was probably taken from another quote that I wish I could find the source of. Paraphrasing, the author was talking about reacting to reading something in the news about a topic you're knowledgeable about, and laughing at how wrong they get it. They then asked the question, "if we don't trust them to get things we know right, why do we trust them to get things we don't know right?"

I'm sure someone else here has seen that quote before, but I don't remember enough of the quote verbatim to find it. All I get are results on "what media is trustworthy?" Bitch, none of them are.

That's called the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect, from Michael Crichton's State of Fear.

In a speech in 2002, Crichton coined the term Gell-Mann amnesia effect, after physicist Murray Gell-Mann. He used this term to describe the phenomenon of experts believing news articles on topics outside of their fields of expertise, even after acknowledging that articles written in the same publication that are within the experts' fields of expertise are error-ridden and full of misunderstanding:[140]

Media carries with it a credibility that is totally undeserved. You have all experienced this. …
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. … You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. …
You read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know. …
In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything they say. … But when it comes to the media, we believe against evidence that it is probably worth our time to read other parts of the paper. … The only possible explanation for our behavior is amnesia.

It has a name; the "Gell-Mann amnesia effect".
Interestingly I did a quick google before making this post, as I had originally run across links to it after reading the wikipedia entry on Richard Feynmann years ago. Looks like Wikipedia mods deleted the article in August 2019.

Dude, if that doesn't say anything about the state of that site, I don't know what will.

I actually do have insight here. You see, what Rittenhouse -did- was accidentally destroy the golem. Antifa and BLM had been running on an illusion of immortality. The sincere belief that no matter what they did, there would be no consequences. This belief was not only nurtured... but required. Without it, the golem could not March. Fear would keep the foot soldiers at home.

So when Rittenhouse shot three of them it shattered that illusion and set off a panic. The golem time was coming to an end but the Democrats needed to retire it not bring it behind the shed.

To understand their next actions one must understand the nature of the Democrat's Golem. This golem goes by many names, but in short it is the unwashed masses the Democrats herd and group unleashed every 4 to 8 years in order to install fear. The golem inevitably runs wild, but that is why it has many names. When it crosses the line the name is retired, a handful if wrist slaps are given, then everyone involved in it switches to the next name and they wash any bad publicity from the last name off.

The only thing needed to keep it going is willing, blood hungry men. Men who now feared.

So, the Democrats were left with one option. The golem was too vital to alliw the fear to continue. They -had- to throw the book at Rittenhouse. Every dirty tactic would be allowed, every misstep ignored as far as they could, and the press would go nuts running water for it.

So, looks like the Kiwi Farms speculation was dead on then. It was pretty obvious there was some effect he had from how quickly the riots had died down after the shootings. Are you saying the overall effects have been nationwide, too?

There where a lot of people murdered during the 2020 riots. The left don't talk about them.

Kyle lived. Can't pretend like he didn't exist.

The theory I've come to believe is that Biden is there for four years to push every unpopular policy. Kamala is there so they can't remove Biden. And in 2024 they're both gone to be replaced by Hillary or Beto or somebody else who can actually "govern". But of course nobody will ever walk back anything the Biden administration did.

Maybe they even allow a RINO to get in because it makes no difference at this point and it would shift many people's focus to "omg do something Mr. Republican president" while Pence or whoever pretends he can't find his glasses.

Is there a chance that the DNC could pull a Peru or Chile, and push for some Leftist millennial as their presidential candidate, and the said candidate wins in a GG EZ manner?

Although the thought of that makes me wonder if someone can be more of a Cuck than how Castillo and Boric are in their respective countries.

Nah, it's both. It's deserved because he's a corrupt piece of shit politician (but I repeat myself) whose handlers are having him wreck the country and put us on the verge of WW3: Nuclear Boogaloo. It's sad, because Joe's mind is mush and this is elder abuse. The confusion on his face at being ignored by the woman who walks past him without a word, his repeated efforts to get King Asshole's attention and growing realization that it's not going to happen...it's just fucking sad.

Getting snubbed like this if he was still fully coherent, lucid, and in his right mind? Oh I would be laughing my fucking ass off if that were the case. But this? This utter inability of his "betters" to masquerade for the cameras that their puppet matters to them, to beclown a doddering dementia patient they thrust into the spotlight as their face/fall guy? This is disgusting.

The treasonous pedophile deserves worse than this, lucid or not. I hope he wakes up every morning asking his staff, "Where's Beau? Where's my favorite son?"

Hell's not hot enough for men like him.

Bitch, please. I've been lied to since I was born. Just now figuring it out from putting 2 and 2 together should be a compliment.
