From my 2020 Facebook post citing from Senator Chuck Schumer ...

Oh, Chuck. There you go again, you slicky slickerson!

Today I heard Chuck Schumer say that the attempt at "downgrading the postal service" was in order to "affect the election". And that is "despicable".

First, it's arguable that the postal service is being downgraded, more so that the motive for whatever is going on in the post office is to affect the election [in DT's favor, in case you don't know where the Senator is coming from].

If that's true, then sure it's despicable. 

Only ... 

I didn't hear the "if". Even if it were couched with that necessary "if" the real net effect of that statement is to cast shade on the opponent. Never mind what's provable.

By the way, I'm amending this in the year 2025 and the narrative from the Dem side continues to be absent any creative policy stance other than "Trump bad". And, the unwashed [brainwashed?] millions are expected to take whatever is served with the cold comfort that whatever it is, and whoever it is they're voting for ... it's "NOT TRUMP!".

If what he said fits your preconceived, conditioned point of view, I won't argue with you. Be that way. Stay entrained to your favorite propaganda bell ringer. If you take apart the statement and look at the facts and the logic — and a lot of what Schumer and his allies have similarly stated — you'll see a pattern ...

1. State an accusation, suspicion, conjecture, hypothetical, a rumor.

2. Assume it is a fact.

3. Assert the nefarious motive behind it.

4. Condemn it.

5. State all that wrapped in the Flag, on a knee, in Kente cloth, and assume cynically that the rubes you call your voters will eat it up.

By the time you get there your spiel registers as news. 

I reposted this on Facebook recently. This is what transpired ...

Commenter: With everything else going on this is what you choose to comment on

Me: ... Yes. It came back in the FB memories today. It is still in play. "He Bad." Obviously, there are other things going on too. I could comment on the Middle East, but then I'd be anti-Semitic. We do have boychik's assurance that there is no starvation in Gaza; who am I to disagree. If I was in the clear, I'd say ... "He Bad". Or, how it's now well documented that the West provoked what's going on in Ukraine. Oh, that Putin ... "He Bad" too.

If that doesn't clear it up for you, let me point out that with all the varying narrative story lines being foisted/discussed there is that one underlying common theme. Like I've been pointing, the game is Good versus Evil. The Good in us, and the Evil in them. I defer to C. G. Jung for an elucidation on how the world is as you see it, and the evil we see is a projection of the unrecognized shadow within us. You can argue that point. Yet, I find that taking that position one has some real agency in terms of bringing something constructive to all that is going on.
