It’s noon or so CTD, and the attempt by the Zhou Regime to scramble back from the debacle of last night is already in full swing:
Um, can you say “credibility problem”?
All of this stuff is driven by polls, so what does this tell you about how badly Zhou’s “hate-your-neighbor” harangue played out? I’m guessing that the icing on the cake was that blood red background, the clenched fists and shouting, and the Marines flanking the hapless Zhou.
But here’s the other question: What does this tell you about the “not normal”—yes, I’m quoting Zhou—mentality of the people who wrote the speech, rehearsed it, planned the optics? What does this tell you about how THEY view their fellow Americans?
One thing is for sure—it tells you all you need to know about them. No amount of scrambling will walk this one back.
I wonder how this will affect the latest FBI/DoJ “get Trump” plot? I mean, calling Trump (and his supporters) “a threat to this country” was supposed to—among other things—lend support to the MAL Raid caper, wasn’t? I’m guessing it won’t prove helpful.
UPDATE: I picked this up from Don Surber. Coincidence? I don’t know. I assume all the gestures, everything, is preplanned. What were they thinking?
They want to murder us. But that’s more medium to long term. What they want in the next 60 days is for one of us to panic and try to preemptively murder a bunch of them so that their narrative will be validated. Be on the lookout for glowies and fedposting.
I used to think they were just political opponents, simply the other side. As in, you want a higher corporate income tax...I want a lower corporate income tax...let's talk about it.
After Thursday night I fear they are something far worse.
They are malevolent.
