Who buys such books? The entire country saw that Biden was mentally unfit, and anyone who watched Jake Tapper saw him repeatedly turn on anyone who spoke that obvious truth. If Josef Goebbels did not commit suicide, and instead while in prison crafted a story about how Hitler’s inner circle concealed the regime’s evil insanity from him, it might be just as persuasive.
But much worse is the self-serving verbiage of a complete weasel, former Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria “Rondo” Arradondo, who promoted the false narrative about the death of George Floyd, even to the point of lying at the Chauvin trial about training and policy. He threw four officers under the bus, caved to radicals, encouraged the crazed leftist who inflicted billions of dollars in losses on his city, and left a legacy of damage and a demoralized police force now half the size it was when he was chief. And he is proud of himself!?
These men are worse than ridiculous. They stand for the proposition that adherence to a particularly dysfunctional, ever-changing party line in the moment is the sole criterion for moral worth. An allegedly professional newsman lying to deny an electoral advantage to Donald Trump is a tiresome norm. To try to elevate that defect to a form of heroism is pathetic. To surrender to the lie about Floyd’s death (seized upon by the same people who brought you--and cashed in on--the fictional accounts of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown), solely to serve the apparent partisan needs of the moment, is an especially loathsome betrayal when done by someone who is supposed to personify law, professional loyalty, and personal honor.

I doubt that many Dem followers even know about the controversy. Instead they are focused on Trump's 747 and how Elon Musk is now running the government.
I thought that maybe things had shifted enough that finally there could be conversations between liberals and the rest of us. But the Lefties have whatever the current thing is hard wired into their brains, with the much needed and heavily wrapped insulating meme being "Trump Still Orange Man Bad."
I mean, the guy was indicted 41 times!!

“I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth. That is a program of sorts, is it not? It is certainly program enough to keep conservatives busy, and liberals at bay. And the nation free.”

First off, I do want to read the Jake Tapper story for myself. The news stories coming out about it, if true, are painting a very unbelievable story.
Second there are lots of new stories lately that include the inept Chief Arradondo. First off, one of the witnesses in the Chauvin trial just basically admitted that she lied on the stand about the neck hold that was part of the Mpls Police Training. Chief Arradondo said that the neck hold was not policy. Below is a long article to follow but in a nutshell MPD Officer Katie Blackwell testified in the Chauvin (George Floyd) trial that the neck hold was not policy.
Reporter Liz Collin as part of a video called her and anyone else who said the neck hold was not MPD policy (like Chief Arradondo) a liar. Katie Blackwell sued Liz Collin. The trial that ensued brought out the truth that Katie Blackwell DID lie and she basically agrees to that. Whole story here.

Alpha News also interviewed a couple of the police officers who got thrown under the bus by Chief Arradondo. They feel betrayed.

(OB, I was confused reading this because I had no idea that the Minneapolis police chief wrote a book, and you didn't mention that. No matter; I eventually figured it out.)
My first thought is that the publishing of these books is the least of the issues. The authors have been professional liars in the past (in the sense of being paid to lie), and this is just some more of the same. And we've seen cases of large publishing advances as a form of political payoff.
So what is the audience for these books? Probably not large. I can't imagine many people saying, "Oooh, I want to hear about the lies from the liar's point of view!" And the books certainly won't go into the gory details of the illicit Democrat Party operations.
