It is true that CNN’s Jake the Snake Tapper loathes former President Donald Trump and is expected to unleash his left-wing snarl against former president Donald Trump at Thursday’s debate.

It is also true that President Joe Biden will be there, trying to remember what Obama operatives running the Biden White House have poured into Joe’s ear before Thursday ‘s big debate. And it is true that CNN’s Dana Bash will attend. She and Joe will team up to come after Trump. And the ghost of Candy Crowley and other CNN stars who manipulated the truth to help Democrats on the debate stage.

But the main antagonist is Tapper, who has preened for this role.

Tapper is a leftist who has been publicly sniveling for his share of the leftist audience for years. His hatred of Trump is legendary.

As the Federalist’s Jordan Boyd has written, “Russia Hoaxer Jake Tapper Is the Perfect Partisan Hack to Give Biden a Debate Edge”

“There’s no doubt that Dana Bash is a Democrat agenda-beholden beast,” writes Boyd, “but the real game-changer for Biden’s first debate survival strategy is Jake Tapper, the infamous Russia collusion hoaxer who devoted more than two decades on television to defending Democrats and smearing Republicans.

“It’s no secret that the presidential debate system implicitly favors Democrats, in large part because the corporate media mouthpieces in charge of driving the televised conversation do everything they can to give their preferred candidate a leg up. In 2016, an analyst from Tapper’s network leaked debate questions to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.”

Bingo.

Going into the debate, feeble President Joe Biden has been prepped, pampered, and no doubt has likely been given various pharmaceutical cocktails to improve his performance.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they fed Joe with the blood from of necks of virgins–making him Nosferatu Joey– to rejuvenate our geezer president who sniffs strange women. Do I find him repugnant? Yes. He’s taken the week off from the presidency to prepare. He can afford to take a week off with the world on fire? Why does he need to take a week off and hide from the world at Camp David? Doesn’t he know his job by now? Doesn’t he have important work to do, such as letting more terrorists, rapists and murderers into the country as “migrant gotaways?”

What Joe and his handler Barack Obama want, is for energized Joe to bait Trump with insults, hoping that Trump will take the bait and react in rage, Trump did in 2020 which helped cost him the election. If Trump takes Joe Biden’s bait, Trump will lose, warns my friend and political expert Thom Serafin on the Chicago Way ™ podcast that I co-host with Jeff Carlin of WGN radio.

“He’s taking the next five, six days to spend with his staff, rehearse and get through this process,” said Serafin. “Because this debate will tell us so much about what will happen in a few weeks in Chicago (at the Chicago Democrat National Convention)”

Jake the Snake is expected to protect old Joe. Or he’ll sell him out on national TV. It’s showbiz. This was foreshadowed by another CNN anchor adding to the drama and melting down and booting Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt off CNN’s air.

All the Trump surrogate was trying to do was point out the many times Tapper had personally attacked Trump, calling him Hitler and wrinkling up his nose at the mere mention of Republicans.

She was quoting Tapper. But CNN wouldn’t hear of it.

Does Democracy Die in Silence?  Yes.

Does Democracy Die if there is no CNN video? Perhaps. Consider the classic story of Tom Sawyer and the whitewash that was not first reported by CNN. And I don’t think there is any good video of the weasel Sidney sucking up to Aunt Polly. There is no video of Sidney’s backstabbery in the matter of whitewashing the fence. But Jake Tapper would have been the perfect Sidney Sawyer.

I am not some squishy pro-Tapper lefty. As loyal readers know, I am not a left winger. I am conservative. If Jake’s hair was on fire, would I get out of my leather recliner to help him put it out? No. Burn baby.

Still, the  pre-debate hysteria is obnoxiously disgusting. It is what it is. And no matter how the leftist corporate media spin things for Biden, the debate won’t fundamentally change the presidential campaign. It is a matter of style.

I’ve heard panic in some voices about Thursday night, because they believe everything is riding on the debate. Some say that watching it would be too much for them to bear.

That’s how CNN or FOX News drive the chumbolones into the chutes.

So don’t watch if it makes you feel better.

Spare your anxiety and tune in later for the spin. Relax by cheering on the United States Men’s National Team in COPA America on Thursday night, with the Yanks vs Panama.

But no matter the spin, the American people eventually have to face reality.

On Friday morning the obscenely high price of bacon and eggs and gas will not have changed all that much. The number of Americans forced by the Biden economy to live off their credit cards will not have changed.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the same moron who said inflation was “transitory” and who bowed and scraped like a servile baboon before Chinese officials, said she wasn’t all that concerned about high food prices. She doesn’t worry about the price of eggs. She’s worth at least $30 million I hear.

But in American grocery stores and supermarkets you will see women doing the shopping, and men, and all have been publicly humiliated because they can’t afford their groceries, will begin a Joe Biden ritual once unknown in America.

They’ll put items on the side, the dozen eggs they can’t afford, the coffee, the cheese. the bacon. The things they once gave to their families, but now they just can’t afford them.

And by Friday, with pundits and commentators playing the Game of Spin, do you know who is impervious to the partisan spin?

Your credit card bill.

And the dead.

The more than 150,000 Americans killed by fentanyl poisoning, murdered by Mexican drug cartels carrying Chinese product over our porous borders.

And all those women, girls and boys sex trafficked by the cartels across the border opened by Biden. And the left’s push for irrevocable gender surgery for young children that is castration.

Rachel Morin, the Maryland mother of five who was raped and murdered by Biden’s illegal migrants. And 12-year old Jocelyn Nungary of Texas, raped and murdered by Biden illegals. And the nursing student from Georgia, Laken Reily also murdered by Biden’s illegal migrants. And so on and on and on. If you don’t get angry soon, and carry that anger to the vote in November, the deaths will continue.

Watch  Jake the Snake run interference for the Democrats as he’s done for decades. Or not.

So tune in Thursday or don’t tune in.

Whine or not whine. Panic or not.

It’s your choice.

It’s your country.
