Under the Federal Rules of Evidence, subsequent remedial actions taken by an alleged tortfeasor cannot be introduced at trial to prove a party’s negligence, wrongdoing or culpable conduct. It is considered unfairly prejudicial. But the Court of Public Opinion isn’t bound by the Federal Rules, and neither is Ethics Alarms. Now that Biden has said “Never mind!” to the earlier cash for hostages deal with Iran, I look forward to Sec. Blinken and paid liar Karine Jean-Pierre babbling their arguments for why the 6 billion dollars given back to Iran for “humanitarian” purposes couldn’t possibly be connected to the sneak terrorist attack and its aftermath by Hamas. The reversal of the utterly reckless and irresponsible deal is more eloquent that they can ever be, and thoroughly rebuts their spin.
This is the Barn Door Fallacy: a negligent party taking now pointless measures to prevent what its previous incompetence already caused. It is cynical grandstanding,but in this case, it is also an admission, Federal Rules of Evidence or not. Donald Trump was right, conservatives were right, multiple Middle East experts were right, and anyone familiar with why it was once supposed to be insane to exchange money for hostages were right, while Biden, Barack Obama and the entire Democratic Party along with its mainstream media propaganda mouthpieces were wrong.
Would Hamas have attacked if Trump had been President? I don’t know, and it doesn’t matter. What matters is that the consequences widely predicted after Biden agreed to unfreezing billions in Iranian assets occurred, and he and his administration is accountable….which means they must be held accountable. They have blood on their hands.
If President Biden had any integrity or guts—he has neither—his position would be that Iran didn’t carry out the attacks, the released assets couldn’t possibly be connected to the carnage in Israel, U.S, policy was and is sound, and the deal stands.
Instead, the administration is saying “Oopsie! Guess we screwed up! Well, we’ll try to make it better. Sorry for all the blood and beheaded babies!”
If the Republican Party can’t clean out this gang of fools, it should disband and reorganize as a competitor for Cirque du Soleil.
Ethics Alarms 
Condoleezza Rice: “The Iranian regime cannot be dealt with.” Nincompoops, chief among them incomparable idiots like John Kerry, seem to have never taken a course in negotiation, which you think would be required for, you know, diplomats? The nincompoops seem to think if you’re nice to malefactors, they’ll be nice to you. The stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.
Jack, I take umbrage at that last line. Have you never seen a Cirque du Soleil show? They are ingenious, artistically and technically, and require extraordinary levels of sophistication, skill and competence at all levels in order to achieve their superb results.
The Republican Party, in its current iteration, wouldn’t be competent to clean up after the elephants if Cirque du Soleil had any. And they don’t.
I would like to think Jack meant “Circus of Fools” (not the music group, the concept) and that either autocorrect or speech to text garbled it for him. Much of the leadership of the Republican Party fits that idea, or more aptly, Ship of Fools.
No. I regard the Vegas group as a high level performance art and clown show. I regard the GOP as a low level performance art with way too many clowns. And I said they would be competition for Cirque du Soleil, not effective competition.
(AIM was also being tongue in cheek, you know.)
Not the first time I have misunderstood something. But, I will stick with Ship of Fools as being more apt for the Republican Party. Circus of Fools comes to mind for both parties, but not exactly applicable since the frustration I’m left with exceeds the entertainment value.
Well spoken.
I’m very fond of “Ship of Fools”—especially Michael Dunn.
It’s not just vegas. They tour shows under the big top, too – in fact, there’s one in Tyson’s II Virginia until 10/22.
Don’t worry though! Biden will now give the terrorists $100,000,000.
NO Michael! That’s not money, it’s direct physical aid for the Palestinians!
Yeah, I’ll believe the direct physical aid actually helps the Palestinians and not the terrorists when pigs fly.
