The one motivator that supersedes all else

[Russ]

No matter how entrenched anyone's liberal (or any) politics are, there is one motivator that capable of superseding all liberalism within an instant, and that is fear. Fear of physical attack, fear of financial hardship, fear of ridicule - they are maybe the only things that can make a CNN-type person do something non-liberal.

That's what is happening now. The shocking one-two punch for CNN-type people of first seeing the Taliban overrun Afghanistan within a few days, and second of suddenly realizing that we have a President that is incapable of leading.

It has actually hit CNN itself. For the first time in memory, CNN is actually questioning and even criticizing a Democrat President. That is almost as shocking as Afghanistan, but not quite.

You might think that CNN fears the Taliban and ISIS attacking America, but I don't think they're looking that far ahead yet. I think it is just that CNN sees a tidal wave of people turning negative against Joe Biden, and CNN fears that if they don't criticize Biden then the negative tidal wave might get directed at CNN also.

Those worthless bastards are in self-salvation mode, fear of their slavish association and love for liberalism/socialism and the idiot Biden that may end up hurting them--fear the greatest motivator, is in full action with them..
They know cutting the tail off saves the hydra, my friend.
The tail does not matter as they have laughing hyena, and more next in line to replace Biden.
Besides Biden is only a figurehead--reading what the true junta that is running the office of President puts in front of him.
He is not capable of even running a sidewalk lemonade stand.
This nation is in for a world of hurt these next months- and next few years, imho..
And yes, that is what they installed in to be the ffing dummy- the fall-guy



Buy hey, we all should uproariously celebrate -- As all that matters is the rude orange man is gone!!!!!
A gift from those geniuses-- the rabid feminists and liberals that voted only for that magnificent cause!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The world be damned....--Tyr

More likely that CNN are fully aware that their licence will be revoked under the new regime and are truly scared .

It is too late .

You do not take back the death sentence just because the prisoner is suddenly wearing brown and yellow wet trousers .

CNN's partisanship has played in every election since 08. If people start going after Biden, they're going to go after anyone or thing that tries to defend him. Wonder where Jim Acosta is on this?

This is what it takes to get people to start questioning the government? Pretty high bar that it should never have gotten to.
