Jimmy Kimmel had a segment the other night that was both predictable and funny. But if you give it some thought, there is tremendous insight that can be gleaned. Here is one link to the video, with the Debate and Switch part starting about 9:06: Debate and switch Jimmy Kimmel.

Here is some text from the segment:

“We asked people who identified themselves as supporters of Donald Trump for their take on some of Joe Biden’s more controversial actions and quotes,”Kimmel said. “But what we didn’t tell them at first. Is that what we said wasn’t from Joe Biden. It was actually from Donald Trump.” A Kimmel staffer then asked a South Carolina voter, “What did you think when Joe Biden suggested that Covid could be cured by shining a bright light inside the body?” “It is very sad that Joe Biden is clearly a dementia patient,” the voter replied. Of course, it was Trump who infamously made that suggestion. When the voter was given that information, she immediately and drastically changed her tune about the validity of the comment. “It depends what that technology is,” the voter said. “That’s a broad spectrum, because, you know, you have MRI machines and CT machines and,infrared and different things. So it just depends the context of that.” Kimmel’s staffer then confronted another Trump fan about the following:There are accusations that Joe Biden cheated on his wife with a porn star after his son was born. And there’s actually a paper trail showing he paid the sexworker $130,000 to keep quiet about it.” “And he he was making, I think, less than $100,000 a year at that time?” The voter said, adding “Now, how does he do that?” When the voter was told that actually applied to Trump, he too pulled a 180. “My father had affairs too, and I still respect him,” the voter said.

While it is funny as hell, it is incredibly instructive. Note that these folks do a complete and total 180 instantly to get the outcome they want: bad Biden, good Trump. What does that tell you? These folks have no principles, no integrity, zip, zero, nada. One guy that is accused of an act is instantly unqualified as president, but the other guy does it and it is okie dokie 100%. All they have is blind, unwavering loyalty.

Okay, so a few red state fools show this behavior, big deal, right? No surprise there. But if you look around you find the exact same thing going on in Congress and in SCROTUS. Just look at Comer and Gym Jordan frothing at the mouth about Biden corruption (that does not exist) while ignoring the blatant corruption of Trump, Ivanka, and Jared; bad Biden, good Trump. Look at Moscow Mitch and his famous speech where he justified NOT impeaching Trump. He stated that he knew Trump was guilty as hell, but he pulled a lame excuse out of his ass to vote against impeachment. Look at SCOTUS ignoring hallowed “states right” to reach down into Florida and make Bush the president. Look at SCROTUS now, slow walking for Trump, speeding up to slap down Biden as Chris Hayes pointed out so well this week.

What’s the upshot of this? Dems should never , without extremely good evidence, expect serious policy discussions from Rs when they can play games instead. Point out their insincerity ALL THE TIME. Hunter Biden should never be brought up without also adding the names of Jared and Ivanka, Senior White House Advisors and Full Time Grifters.
