Democrats are quick to pick up and echo the same talking point. Deja vu of the Journolist scandal, the newest coordination of message is drooling over how to exact revenge on Trump supporters with an Orwellian named Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
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.
— Robert Reich (@RBReich) October 17, 2020
Bobby Reich [an appropriate last name, eh?] has for years demonstrated his basic contempt of fellow Americans. There is nothing sorrowful in his tweet; indeed, it drips with a lust equal to Madame Defarge. Chris Hayes had earlier used the same phrase, but obviously Reich missed the ratio and felt it necessary to nudge the suggestion ahead.
What do these Jacobian Democrats want? Hysteric Jennifer Rubin sure gives a few clues.
They should think more about atoning for the betrayal of their country than trying to escape the consequences of enabling a liar, racist and wannabe authoritarian. There are practical reasons for employers outside the right-wing bubble to reject not only those who were the face of the administration but also those who labored behind the scenes.
Are you now, or have you ever been, a supporter of President Trump and his policies?
(Trump administration) Employees who obstructed justice, misrepresented facts to courts or lied to Congress must be held responsible under criminal statutes and professional rules of conduct. State bar authorities will need to step up to identify behavior, which, if allowed to go unpunished, would bring disrepute on the profession and set a bad example for others. If elected, former vice president Joe Biden will need to decide how to clean house, which might involve investigating and holding departed Trump officials responsible.
Democrats will hunt down and destroy the careers of anyone connected with the Trump administration. It doesn’t matter if any of those people actually did anything illegal, the process of endless investigation will be the punishment, from keeping people under a permanent cloud and publicly identified to leave them at the mercy of the Leftwing mobs.
Hyperbole? Hardly. There were enough Leftist Democrats who were frustrated in their revenge efforts to have President Chimpy McHitlerBush and his administration jailed for “war crimes” after Obama was elected that their long fermented bile and hatred towards Americans who disagree with them that they will never accept a Biden refusal to act against Republicans. For months we’ve witnessed the Leftist riots and looting with little-to-no consequences for the perps. A Biden election will increase that violence. Not just Trump administration employees, but donor lists will be researched for targets to culturally cancel. Remember Brendan Eich?
Jennifer refuses to accept anything less than public confession and humiliation.
We as a country and as individuals need to decide whether those who are unremorseful, who seek no forgiveness and who admit no complicity in an administration that engaged in reprehensible conduct deserve to be welcomed back into “polite” society.
I disagree with Vance here that we are dealing with crybabies. Mere crybabies don’t burn cities, ambush police officers and sit in District Attorney Offices across the country refusing to bring charges against fiery but mostly peaceful protestors. Crybabies don’t knock the teeth from people who disagree on political matters or beating the elderly over political signs.
This is open revenge on people who dissent from Wokeness. And a vote for Child-sniffer Joe Biden and nihilist Comma-lah Harris is to endorse a campaign to seek out and destroy those Americans who support the President.
It is past time to take Democrats at their word.

Well done, Darleen. ScaryAF
OWWIII says: Interesting concept to bring forward, didn’t work well in South Africa. Rather desperate, but everything they have flung at conservatives over the last 4 years can be labeled desperate. So desperate that burning their own in a tantrum is the end result.
Let them call for their truth and reconciliation, only the weak will submit, the rest of us will probably hunker down, lock and load.
Dennis L says: Who will staff the Truth and Reconciliation Commission? I bet Judge Sullivan, and Adam Schiff are available.
SDN says: You’re a year late. Of course, Darleen, you know I’ve been saying on protein wisdom and elsewhere since 2003 that a civil war is inevitable. Stuff like this is why.
Taco Lizard says: The question that needs to be asked is not if there are enough trigger pullers to stop a Marxist revolution, but rather are there enough cool headed trigger pullers that will focus on the head of the snake rather than the the useful idiots in the street? Antifa is simply MSM fodder, photogenic pawns who are paid to distract attention from the men and women “behind the green curtain” organizing and funding this madness.
John says: I hate grammar nazis, but I do think it is important to spell people’s names correctly. Conservatives needn’t sink to the childishness of leftists. It’s Commie-la Harris.
And if Biden successfully steals the election and they come for our rights, there is only one correct response: Molon labe, and yes, it’s loaded.
Jaynie says: What, in the name of all that’s holy, has Trump done that is worthy of this? Reich and Rubin are vague about reasons. Clear about their hoped for consequences, though. This is sickening.
Isn’t it almost to the point where, we are going to be accused and found guilty if we do nothing, so, heck, mightn’t we just as well rain crap down on their heads? That is the conclusion to which logic takes one. Really, why not, since we are already seen as guilty for it?
Elmer says: “Salon” had an essay on this. I posted a comment to the effect that “After Biden wins, what personal items will I be allowed to bring to my regional re-education camp?”, which was deleted within 30 seconds.
Mike says: Democrats are not actually pointing out real-world examples of what they are making accusations about. They are merely reporting what is going on inside their heads.

Understand what they’re thinking of when they use the phrase “Truth and Reconciliation Commission”: the South African setup after they did away with apartheid. So there’s some sort of declared good intentions related to the “reconciliation” aspect. What’s interesting is the prog leaders can’t even manage to hold onto that fig leaf, and have to immediately go to jailing their opponents. It took the South Africans months (at least) to shed the mask.
They should think more about atoning for the betrayal of their country
No, you’re worried about their betrayal of your country. Which is NOT the country founded on the Constitution and Declaration of Independence and that we patriots love. Your country is one of technocrats and serfs.
Employees who obstructed justice, misrepresented facts to courts or lied to Congress must be held responsible under criminal statutes and professional rules of conduct.
If only!
We as a country and as individuals need to decide whether those who are unremorseful, who seek no forgiveness and who admit no complicity in an administration that engaged in reprehensible conduct deserve to be welcomed back into “polite” society.
Well, this is what we’ve demanded of the Deep State people for a long time now. Of course, Rubin’s “reprehensible conduct” is defined as “trying to restore/preserve the Republic.” Ours is defined as “turning the Republic into a technocracy.”
This is open revenge on people who dissent from Wokeness.
No. This is REVOLUTION. Just like all the other revolutions the communists have engendered in the last 100 years. They want to destroy us and institute their little idyll of love and sharing and gulags and bread lines.
