AG Barr does not have to directly accuse anyone of voter fraud. The idea is to make the claim plausible. Plato warned us over two thousand years ago to beware of the SOPHISTS. In ancient Greece there were people called “sophists“. For a fee they would use rhetoric for any purpose. Plato considered them to be underminers of society and order.
Attorney General William Barr is such an example. The doctor of spin! The issue is to DEFINE THE ISSUE and thus set the boundaries. Barr already did that with the lengthy Muller Report. He gave a short spin and made it’s findings broad enough to save Trump. The same here with voter fraud.
Make people believe there are two sides when no evidence of massive fraud has taken place. That plus a LIAR making the charge.
NO, not all the time. If I say the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. You then object. I respond “that is your opinion!”
This issue of possible mass scale voter fraud concerns “probable cause” and the “trustworthiness” of the individual who is making the charge. Remember “the boy who cried wolf” story?
President Donald Trump has said repeatedly that the only way he could lose the election is by voter fraud and a fixed election! Thus he has DEFINED a rule for society.
Donald Trump, by claiming the only way he can lose the election is if the election is rigged has made an election unnecessary. That is not the way a Democracy works, nor what our troops died to protect. Thus any assertion of fraud by him has to be given doubt. Besides the election is presumed innocent unless proven otherwise. Where is his proof?
What does Donald Trump take America to be? A shxt hole country? By the way, why must I use an “x” when Trump talks about “shxt hole countries”. The mighty lords of Google will penalize me but not Trump.
Trump publicly states in the video below that the only way he can loose the election is by fraud. Again, so why have an election?
This is pure sophistry. The reason our founders gave us the “College of Electors”. To protect us from the “tyranny of the majority“! Hmmm……. If we did our election by majority rule then Hillary Clinton would have been our President not Trump. Again Trump is a serial LIAR. He even said there were three to five million illegal voters for Hillary Clinton that deprived him of the popular vote. No such evidence was provided nor found.
FOXNEWS EPISTEMOLOGY: From Birtherism, Death Panels To The DEEP STATE!
Epistemology has to do with rules of evidence. What is knowledge and how do you discover it? We live in an era of licentious permissiveness to use right wing terminology but in the service of progressive ideals. There is a CELEBRATION OF IGNORANCE.
Where are the bodies from Obama’s death panels? Where are the three to five million mystery voters who stole the popular vote away from our DEAR LEADER?
BUT MOST IMPORTANT DEAR READER!
Why aren’t Democrats and Obama demanding Republicans produce evidence for their charges so we can smack them down? DEMOCRATS ARE WIMPS. Their lack of testosterone is now a threat to our Republica. No this is NOT silly season but the legacy of not standing up to LIARS!
This is the state our nation is in. CONSPIRACY THEORIES abound and people eat them up. But again it is NOT all Trump nor Fox News. Rather it is the accommodation by Democrats. This began with President Obama who did not use his bully pulpit to attack the lies of:
- Birtherism
- Death Panels
- Deep State
Instead Barack Obama conducted a marathon celebration of the testosterone free political lifestyle. Mitch McConnell then would not even give his SCOTUS nominee a hearing. But they did for Trump’s replacement of Justice Ruth Ginsberg with even less time remaining in Trump’s presidency.
Trump and his MAGA base are on a TESTOSTERONE HIGH. This is the danger to our Republic. Even in the face of a pandemic rules of evidence are discarded. Trump and his followers laugh at the use of masks. There is a war on science and a war on truth. Worse yet is that Democrats are in meditation with their mantra of “meow…Meow…MEOW”! The bully must be stood up to else our Republic falls. Again this is not SILLY SEASON!
FOX NEWS EPISTEMOLOGY Is The Triumph Of Sophistry Over Truth
We cannot allow AG Barr to go on undermining our elections. The funding for the TRANSITION is being held up by Trump’s minions. Trump has fired the Defense Secretary and replaced him with an acting Secretary who is one of his minions. Could this be a prelude to troops in the streets?
Where is Nancy Pelosi in all of this. Check out a tweet of mine below for the answer.
