You know things are tough and obvious to all when your own side is calling you out. And not a small dig either - but telling the world that their leader is lying to them.

Gabbard: ‘The American People Are Being Lied to’ by the Biden Administration

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) said Saturday on Fox News Channel’s “Justice” that the Biden administration is lying to the American people about the border crisis and the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal.

Gabbard said, “The faith and trust that the American people need to have in our leaders is dropping every day. The Department of Homeland Security Secretary recently told Congress our borders are secure. This is what he said, this kind of bald-faced lie, whether it has to do with domestic issues or foreign policy issues. We’ve seen this with Afghanistan and the tragically botched withdrawal of our troops and Americans out of Afghanistan. When people are being lied to, the American people are being lied to, it is revealing of the arrogance and the self-serving nature of leaders who are in power in this country.”

Gabbard added, “The disrespect that they have for the American people, and it’s why people are losing faith and trust in those leaders. If we have leaders who respect the people, then the people will respect our leaders. If we have leaders who trust the American people, we will trust our leaders. And that’s the problem here is we don’t have leaders who have that trust and respect and who therefore put themselves ahead of the interests of the people.”

I like Gabbard, but she sure does like her Capt Obvious moments way after the fact. That said, it doesn't change the fact that she is correct. Most Americans do not realize nor understand the disdain most other nations, especially antagonistic ones, have/had for the US. That was BEFORE Biden. I can't even imagine waling down the street in Yalova, Turkey now.

Americans by and large do not care if they are being lied to, if they like the lies. They will not-like the lies only when it suits them; when it builds their virtue signaling.


The thing that no one wants to admit is that most people want things to happen to them. We tell each other lies about the fight for free will and independence, but we don't really want that. We want to be told how to live and then die when we're not looking. People want oblivion, and a few of us are born to build it for them. So here I am - their invisible god sneaking under their skin.
