Tara Reade is to Never Biden as Glenn Beck was to Never Trump



It begins with a juicy story which lacks any objective evidence of being true.  Which is, in fact, positively festooned with red flags, and in which the person telling the tale has a history of sketchy behavior, and the story they're telling now is very different than they story they had been telling all along.

But the tale served the political interest of one group with a lot of pull with the political media, and the prurient interest of the mainstream media, so it became a Thing which I documented in thrilling detail here back in October of 2018.

The New York Times was on-board.   The New Yorker.  The New Republic. The Washington Post.  The (now defunct) Charlie Rose Show.  Samantha Bee's Liberal Teevee Show.  The Atlantic.  

Oh yes, my kiddies, it was quite a Thing.

And when the Thing reached its inevitable finale and turned out to be bullshit --
Glenn Beck dons MAGA hat: I will 'gladly' vote for Trump in 2020

Conservative firebrand Glenn Beck appeared to have a change of heart about President Trump on Friday, vowing to vote for him in the 2020 presidential election.

“I will vote for him in 2020! Gladly!” Beck said on his radio show. The longtime NeverTrump pundit donned Trump’s signature red “Make America Great Again” hat. Beck pointed to the media's negative coverage of Trump for spurring his decision.

Beck directed a message to the president: “I will tell you — the things that you have done as the president are remarkable! Remarkable!”..
-- no one who had glommed foolishly or cynically onto it paid any price for doing so.

So for what it's worth, let me now be as clear with the Never Biden goofs and their enablers in the media as I was the Never Trumpers and their media enablers two years ago.

I am not interest in your fucking journey.  In fact, I am not interested in anything you have to say until I start hearing something like this coming out of your mouth (Spoilers!)

Beck has always been a grifter. He thought that he'd make money pretending to be a Never Trumper. It didn't work out so well, so now he's back aboard the Derp Fuhrer train, with the added bonus of being able to say that he'd hung with the libs and saw how awfully wrong they were.

I watched that Sam Bee interview and was seriously pissed off that she didn't call him out on his obvious bullshit at the time.

The problem with most high vis liberals is that they're too easily gulled because they want to be seen as forgiving. Which is how we got here in the first place.

Should we wait till they are aboard the boats or just do it now.

More than burning the life boats.
Need to inform any ship at sea that comes across these life boats full of diseased rats. Not to resew them.
In fact sink them on the spot.
