  1. “Political Technology” HC-R

    It appears the Trump Republicans have fully embraced what Russian political theorists called “political technology”: the construction of a virtual political reality through modern media. Political theorists developed several techniques in this approach to politics: blackmailing opponents, abusing state power to help favored candidates, sponsoring “double” candidates with names similar to those of opponents in order to confuse voters on the other side and thus open the way for their own candidates, creating false parties to split the opposition, and, finally, creating a false narrative around an election or other event in order to control public debate.

    1. Perhaps there can be a talented lyricist who will figure out a whole series, like the counting song "Lily-White Boys" or "GREEN GROW THE RUSHES, OH!"

      Trump in Solitary could be the "One and one is all alone, And evermore shall be so"

    2. That's a good one MB, but I'm not convinced it all stops at four. It might go to something like the 12 Days of Christmas – "On the first Trump indictment, my true love gave to me…"

    1. I did a browser inquiry for him and didn't come up with much. His law firm is based in Denver with an office in Grand Junction. One of the principals of the firm was the late Monte Pascoe of Denver. Pascoe was very active in local Democratic party politics.

      The firm is active in energy development, including both oil & gas and alternative energy. They also appear to be a supporter of preservation of open space.

  2. Please Bobes, tell us more about the Biden crime family …

    "I've never seen anything like it": Economic analyst stunned at sources of Jared Kushner's funds

    “Economic analyst Steven Rattner on Monday shared a pie chart showing that all but 1% of the $3 billion in investments in former President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner's private equity firm Affinity Partners came from foreign sources after he ‘spent much of his White House tenure cozying up’ to Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman.”
