George Orwell was uncommonly perceptive, you know.
“The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them....To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.”
Doublethink adds control that eliminates uncertainty and so the whole belief system seems coherent.
Doublethink is not hypocrisy as the person actually believes in both things, even though they contradict.

Twelve days after Hunter stepped off Air Force Two in Beijing with his daughter and his VP dad on an "official trip", Hunter's company signed a historic deal with the Bank of China, the state-owned financial behemoth often used as a tool of the Chinese government.
The Bank of China had created a first-of-its-kind investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). According to BHR, one of its founding partners was none other than Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC.
It was an unprecedented arrangement: the government of one of America’s fiercest competitors going into business with the son of one of America’s most powerful decision-makers.
Chris Heinz (John Kerry’s stepson) claims neither he nor Rosemont Seneca Partners, the firm he had part ownership of, had any role in the deal with Bohai Harvest. Nonetheless, Biden, Archer and the Rosemont name became increasingly involved with China. Archer became the vice chairman of Bohai Harvest, helping oversee some of the fund’s investments.
Troublingly, some of those investments had major implications for national security and the safety of Americans (Joe didnt give a dam---Hunter was in the money)
To seal the deal, Hunter Biden’s VP father met earlier with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Washington as part of the (cough) Nuclear Security Summit.
In December 2014, BHR became an “anchor investor” in the IPO of China General Nuclear Power Corp. (CGN), a state-owned energy company involved in the construction of nuclear reactors. In April 2016, the US Justice Department would charge CGN with stealing nuclear secrets from the United States — actions prosecutors said could cause “significant damage to our national security.”
Of particular interest to CGN were sensitive, American-made components that, according to experts, resembled components used by the US on its nuclear submarines.
Mmmmmmm......describes Penlosi to a tee. Her ice cream act was an Academy-level performance.
Americans struggle but its time to show-off her pricey ice cream collection, sporting an expensive cashmere sweater around her bony shoulders.
BTW....this was a decision she made to show her "human side."
