Hopefully everything.
Not being mean. They just need real-life to slap them into a new paradigm.

Seattleites are an odd group.
Downtown Seattle was a vibrant, fun place as recently as 5yrs ago. Following the "Chaz Zone" episode though, downtown Seattle basically died. Likewise, Seattle retail malls, and enclaves have closed or are in process of closing.

Seattleites lament the loss of both. They rue the inability to shop in-person, put hands on merchandise, try on clothes, etc. before purchasing.

But here's the kicker.

They don't blame the Chaz nitwits and subsequent lawlessness for turning their downtown into a deadzone. They don't blame shoplifting, theft, and vandalism for their mall closures.

Instead, they attribute Seattle techies as the cause.

They'll explain that Seattle is a hub of tech companies. So its residents just do all their shopping and commerce remotely, online. That, rather than lawlessness, is their explanation for the negative changes. It is what their information sources are telling them. It is what they actually believe.

We had some visitors from there recently.
They could not believe the thriving retail, restaurants, etc here. They were literally shocked our large malls were open and crowded. But they rejected wholecloth any premise other than their tech fantasy for the differential.

Perhaps they'll eventually figure it out. But for now, their unmoored-from-reality approach is something to behold.

What did the dems do in response to the "stunt"?

They signed the discharge to force action on the releasing the files.

False.
One had nothing whatsoever to do with the other.
You apparently don't know that, but you should.

You appear ill equipped to answer the question "What did the dems do in response to the 'stunt'?"

no real critical thinking or problem solving abilities anymore.

Correct. The emphasis is on rote memory ... what to think, rather than how to think.

They didn't. The vote is next week.

Burchett tried a stunt.

That question has already been answered, the Democrats didn't vote to block Epstein files.

They did. You can relegate that to "bad faith" all you'd like. It doesn't change the facts.

Regarding "bad faith spin" though, you've seen nothing yet. Dems and their media cohorts will spin this up like Akroid's bass in a blender. Divert, distract, delay, derail ... by any means necessary.

Without question he's right.
But based on the thread title, I was hoping VDH would at least theorize on motivations driving Tucker's descent from intellectualism to incremental idiocy.

ETA: How are y’all in this thread acting like emails saying Trump was on the plane, spent hours with a victim, and knew about Epstein but didn’t report him is somehow

It's Michael Wolf FFS!
Michael Wolf makes Dan Rather look like a beacon of journalistic integrity. Dan Rather had the AWOL W Bush letter. Wolf has this bullshite.

I just got a hold of the real, unedited, equally reliable jee correspondence. Here it is:

That's not necessary for my comment. Hence the word choice "intrusions"

Indeed.

Well, that was obviously effective. :lol:
