Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, the French foreign minister after the French Revolution, once remarked, “They have forgotten nothing and they've learned nothing.” Meaning, the same thing is going to happen again and again.
That's applicable to today's angry, almost addicted Left, argues Victor Davis Hanson in this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“We have suffered now from almost a decade of Russian collusion, laptop disinformation, five criminal and civil suits, 91 indictments, efforts to get [Donald Trump] off the ballot. I could go on and on in a nauseating fashion, but they all have had two results.
“One, the people are now bored and weary with all of these psychodramas and melodramas. And two, they're starting to see them as substitutes for substantive criticism or substantive discussion …
“Are we short Javelins? Should we be looking more at drones after the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine? None of that came up. It was, ‘Were you drinking? Did you have adultery, adultery, adultery?’”
“They have forgotten nothing and they've learned nothing.”

As usual, excellent work from VDH. Thank you for posting it.
That’s a great look at the Dem’s confirmation questioning.
VDH is a mastermind of clarity
At the end, democrats are simple minded creatures of emotion, not thinking.
I never dreamed any political party could turn themselves into such impudent c**ts, but here we are.
Leftism is a mental illness.
Bingo! Precisely! Democrat/Communists are ruled by emotion ... reality has but a limited, often temporary place in their world (and not just in their "political" world). Thinking can lead to independent thoughts ... and this cannot be tolerated in their totalitiarian ideology.
