Democrats always lie the same way, so pattern recognition becomes a kind of vaccine, except that it actually creates immunity.
Once you know how they do it, they can never fool you again.
Unless you’re also a Democrat, in which case you were born to be fooled, and you can just go back to sucking your thumb in a basement.
Back in the political Pleistocene, a slippery American president who was known as “Slick Willie” slogged through scandal after scandal, often in the company of his amoral and tone-deaf grifter wife.
Perpetually embroiled in controversy because of their own behavior, this shameless couple developed a set of reliable techniques for the management of uncomfortable questions.
The Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberly Strassel famously described this set of techniques as “The Clinton Scandal Manual,” and the steps were predictable.
First you muddy the paper trail by delaying the release of documents or misplacing the records of the scandal.
This slows down the arrival of accountability, and forces your critics to engage in a long effort to untangle the threads of your poor choices.
Then, after you’ve forced your critics to prolong their attack by hiding records and muddying the waters, you count on the news media to get tired of the story.
The Clintons knew that the press has attention deficit disorder, Strassel wrote, and its members will eventually want to give up on a topic and move to something fresh.
So then comes the big finish: When critics have been talking about the same scandal for a long time, *because of your delaying tactics* and the hidden paper trail, transition to the frustrated sigh: Why are we still talking about this *old news*?
Isn’t it time to move on?
Delay, delay, delay / dismiss the scandal as old news.
Now, watch Slick Willie’s old manual at work, coming from the mouth of a different sleazy grifter:
A set of detailed records just became available for the first time, showing us from inside Saint Anthony Fauci’s sleazy political operation what the man was thinking and saying privately as he lied to the country that he was abusing.
There’s *new evidence*, in 2026, about the real meaning of events in 2020 and 2021.
The paper trail was buried for a long time.
There’s step one.
Then comes step two: Why are we still talking about this old news?
My goodness, we’re in the middle of a DEVASTATING CYCLOSPORA OUTBREAK, there’s a huge crisis, we don’t have time to relitigate these *ancient* matters.
Here’s the most important information on the CDC’s surveillance page for that current outbreak, by the way:
Don’t you see, we don’t have time to discuss this old thing; we’re in the middle of a *huge crisis* that’s killing zeroes of Americans.
Meanwhile, here’s the current count from the CDC’s measles page:
Manufacturing fake crisis as a pathetic distraction, the halfwit Hassan just straight-up invents a bunch of scary nonsense: “RFK is dismantling our public health system & scientific research.
” The CDC will spend billions of dollars in 2026.
The NIH will spend tens of billions of dollars.
Here’s how the NIH describes its own spending this year:
The NIH invests most of its nearly $48 billion budget in medical research for the American people.
Nearly 82 percent of NIH’s funding is awarded for extramural research, largely through almost 50,000 competitive grants to more than 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 universities, medical schools, and other research institutions in every state.
In addition, approximately 11 percent of the NIH’s budget supports projects conducted by nearly 6,000 scientists in its own laboratories, most of which are on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland.
Merely 50,000 grants to just 300,000 researchers at only 2,500 universities: See, scientific research and our public health system are being absolutely *dismantled*!
We don’t even have any science or health anymore!
She’s making scary but empty noises to change the topic, which is her profession.
Maggie Hassan gets a paycheck to prevent discussion about reality.
She’s a living truth barrier, and dumber than an old sock.
Hide the records for a long time.
Then, when the records are finally found, denounce the fake fact that we’re having a pointless discussion about an old topic.
Clinton 101.
Here’s the other old go-to:
Actually discussing the things that Fauci wrote himself, expressing his own thoughts, in a document he created in his own government office, is engaging in *conspiracy theories*.
That phrase has become one of our clearest signals that you’re in the presence of truth, with 100 percent accuracy when it comes from the mouth of an old prostitute like Dick Durbin.
Discuss anything at all but the *evidence*.
We’ve erected a whole cultural complex of fakery and distraction, and we’re drowning in the lies.
It’s not at all hard to see how they do it, if you’re willing to see.
See also, regarding a related category of professional liar:
They’re not going to stop.
In the most basic sense, it’s who they are and what they do.
The only answer for it is to understand them, and then to learn to hate them as much as they deserve to be hated.
And then ignore their noisemaking, and keep hunting for the dark truth about Anthony Fauci.
