Just as Democratic Party elites and Big Tech try to stamp out the Hunter Biden email story comes another angry demand:
Truth and Reconciliation Commissions.
Chew on the chilling, delicious irony as Joe Biden tells us he wants to heal the nation while pundits of the left, backing Biden, seek tribunals. There’s nothing like punishing your opponents in the name of national healing, non?
“When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” tweeted Robert Reich, the progressive former Labor Department secretary to former President Bill Clinton and adviser to President Barack Obama. “It would erase Trump’s lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.”
This follows another call for a Truth Commission delivered by an MSNBC host, the lefty Chris Hayes:
“The most humane and reasonable way to deal with all these people, if we survive this, is some kind of truth and reconciliation commission.”
And after the public show trials, are the guilty humanely offered blindfolds and a last cigarette? A cafe Americano might be nice.
Among Republicans, the outraged hot take on all of this is to bring up George Orwell’s “1984.”
“It’s Orwellian,” they say.
But Orwell’s “1984” was a soulless world ruled by dispassionate intellects. Their terror was numbing and methodical. These Reich/Hayes Truth Commissions are tinged instead with the angry passion of the zealot seeking revenge. It’s rather French. No, not the France of today, but of the French Revolution, of tribunals and trials and the Reign of Terror, the France of the Jacobins.

Just name it Ministry of Truth. Don’t pussyfoot around.
Also issue scimitars and machetes for the untruthful.
ACCUSATION and RETALIATION Commissions..........................................
“a soulless world ruled by dispassionate intellects”
Is this not the very definition of the progressive administrative state?
The Left is making their intentions clear:
Persecution.
Disenfranchisement.
Imprisonment.
Torture.
Murder.
Maybe we should start taking them seriously?
Maybe we should start taking them seriously?
Indeed!
A truth squad met last week. We determined that Adam Schiff never tells the truth and must be exterminated immediately.
By consistently forcefully Lying and attempting the overthrow of the government while hiding beyond his position, he has forfeited his right to life.
Planting the seeds of a future revolt.
They should be careful what they wish for. We just might give it to them.
L
They push this crap and the counter revolution will be swift and merciless and most unkind
Is this not the very definition of the progressive administrative state?
No, because in reality they behave like angry kindergarteners.
The opposite of Lincoln’s plan for the South after the Civil War.
J’accuse! Citoyen! Committees for “Public Safety”!
comprised of the new police created by the DEFUNDERS of the legitimate Police jurisdiction.
Lawlessness of the Mob. Oh.. we must save our Democracy (our MOB in the street).
The word democracy DOES NOT APPEAR anywhere in the US Constitution... nor in the Declaration of Independence. A Representative Republic is what was written/designed. Not the MOB.
This issue came up when the “democrat” party first came up with their name. Notably the party was formed out of the MANY newspapers at the time— which were named— the (demographic/city) “Democrat”. Some of the same papers are mostly still in business but it has morphed in the Techno world Fake News and consolidated very Un-Free Press.
Names still around: Tallahassee Democrat
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Sullivan County Democrat and many other relics in the name. Mostly they have re-named themselves... to cover their origins.

“...Why not just make ready the guillotine...?”
Because Liberals think it will be cheaper to make us put a yellow star on our shirt.
Progressives are always fond of warm-fuzzy terms like: truth, reconciliation, tolerance, diversity, love, peace, freedom, etc.
And always the ultimate means thereto is utter destruction of sociopolitical dissent.
To wit: “everyone will get along fine in our Utopia, after we kill everyone we disagree with.”
Tucker displayed a screen shot of a "tweet" from Robert Reich, which read as follows:
When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It would erase Trump's lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.
Their side loses an election, and it's a "catastrophe."
Also, anyone who ever doubted that the boxcars could roll and the crematoria chimneys could write their dark message across the American sky need look no farther than Robert Reich and his followers.
Apt discription. Robert Reich can crawl back under his rock.
