Hersh: Obama Did It

[huckelberry]

Sounds farfetched unless you hate Obama enough or want to elect Trump.

Or both.

Q: How would this alleged behavior profit Obama?

He would get a dopamine rush seeing his party win.

Q: How do the allegations profit Hersch?

He gets a dopamine rush being the one to uncover the story.

Q: How do the allegations profit the source?

The source gets a dopamine rush getting his or her information to the public.

Okay...

Q: How would this alleged behavior profit Obama?

He would get a dopamine rush seeing his party win.

If the allegations are true and now exposed, what is the personal, professional, and public impact to him now?

Q: How do the allegations profit Hersch?

He gets a dopamine rush being the one to uncover the story.

If the allegations are true, how would he verify them in order to satisfy the public?

Q: How do the allegations profit the source?

The source gets a dopamine rush getting his or her information to the public.

If the allegations are true, would your answer remain the same?

[Dr. Shades]

If the allegations are true and now exposed, what is the personal, professional, and public impact to him now?

It depends. People who wanted Biden out will be happy with him, while people who wanted Biden in will be pissed. Either way, he won't suffer because he isn't running for office and is enjoying a comfortable retirement.

If the allegations are true, how would he verify them in order to satisfy the public?

You'll have to ask him, not me.

If the allegations are true, would your answer remain the same?

Obviously. My answer hinges on the allegations being true.

Q: How do the allegations profit Hersch?

Payola for planting the story.
Family threatened by Kremlin operatives or crazed Trump loyalists.

My answers are based on my trust in Obama's decency and integrity.

Once again the 25th Amendment is only invoked by the Biden cabinet.

Yeah, Hersch goes against the patriotic Biden withdrawing for flag and country narrative, right after Biden seemingly dug his heals in to stay in the race. That should automatically raise suspicions about the story. Probably Russian propaganda again. I personally like hero narratives better.

As you said, if you want a particular narrative to be true, it's going to be true for you regardless.

Hersh is running in full boomer conspiracy territory these days. I'd be skeptical of him as a source.

The quote calls Hersh's source an "official, who has decades of experience in fundraising".

Ok.

It depends. People who wanted Biden out will be happy with him, while people who wanted Biden in will be pissed. Either way, he won't suffer because he isn't running for office and is enjoying a comfortable retirement.

So what you're saying is that a highly educated former president, the first Black president, with JD from Harvard Law School, a BA from Columbia U, former Civil Rights Attorney, US Senator with an above average IQ (based on observation) would risk being discovered as part of a coup for a possible dopamine hit, putting his legacy at risk, because he isn't running for office and he's enjoying a comfortable retirement with his wife who is a woman of color with a JD from Harvard Law School, a BA from Princeton in which he and his family would be subject to ongoing harassment for the rest of their lives with a high probability of bodily harm or death? Because he wanted Biden out in the hopes that this country would see it's first female woman of color president?

If the allegations are true, how would he verify them in order to satisfy the public?

You'll have to ask him, not me.

He's not a member of this board to which I've posed questions. You are.

If the allegations are true, would your answer remain the same?

Obviously. My answer hinges on the allegations being true.

Understood.

Ok.

Trump.
