At the border, or nah?

 

  • VP Harris To Visit Abortion Clinic
  • Kamala Harris is a millstone hung around shuffling Joe Biden's neck with 52% net disapproval in latest USA Today poll

     54% of survey respondents said Harris isn't qualified to serve as president. ... 56% of independents; 37% of African Americans; and 48% of Hispanic voters said she isn't qualified.

    Drudge promotes Kamala Harris because . . .

     . . . her unfavorables are sky high and somebody better do something quick, might as well be me, lol. Timed for the bigger Sunday audience:

    PAPER: How Kamala Harris found her groove...

    43% of registered voters in the Bloomberg/Morning Consult swing state poll have a VERY UNFAVORABLE view of her.

    43% also have NO CONFIDENCE WHATSOEVER that she could fill Joe Biden's shoes.

    Her numbers are worst with anyone aged 45+, with total negatives in the vicinity of 60%.

    She's a huge drag on the ticket, which is why they keep her on a tight leash.

    Biden's daring visit to Kiev had more to do with repairing his own image at home as a bungler than with helping Ukraine

    The visit, combined with VP Harris' labeling of Russia guilty of crimes against humanity, has resulted today in Russian suspension of the last nuclear arms treaty remaining.

    The Democrats are playing a very dangerous, impetuous, self-serving, unnecessary, game. 

    Over the weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris said the U.S. has determined Russian forces have committed “crimes against humanity” in Ukraine.

    Putin pulls back from last remaining nuclear arms control pact with the US

    "Talk softly and carry a big stick" would be a much better policy right now than this.

    LOL, The Grauniad thinks it's in the Vanguard of the press, having few scruples about printing Trump's four years filled with swearing, obviously doesn't read POLITICO

    Here where it can't even bring itself to spell them out:

    In remarks to diners at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Saturday night, Donald Trump called the American media “crooked ba**ards” and Gen Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, a “fu**ing idiot”. ...

    Trump’s penchant for swearing is well-known, to the extent that his four-year presidency prompted soul-searching among some US media outlets about which words could properly be printed.

    The Guardian has long had few such scruples.

     

    POLITICO in October:

    Behind closed doors, the former Catholic school boy is quite profane, according to several current and former aides.

    “When he gets going he definitely gets going,” said one White House official.

    In meetings with aides, Biden’s vulgarities include but are not limited too: “Fuck them,” “What the fuck are we doing?” “Why the fuck isn’t this happening?” “bullshit,” “dammit,” or just simply: “fuck,” according to several current and former aides.

    When pushing aides for better answers, he will sometimes say, “don't bullshit a bullshitter.”

    Some say they find Biden’s foul mouth endearing — a part of his everyman appeal that made him president. One former aide noted that’s true just as long as you’re not on the receiving end of it.

    By contrast, Vice President KAMALA HARRIS’ favorite swear word is “motherfuck-ah,” [emphasis on the ahhhhh] according to someone who worked closely with her. She also alluded to this preference in a past interview. Her office did not respond.

    Remember October 2020 when Kamala Harris said 220 million had died of COVID?

     I remember.

    Haven't heard much from her lately.

    Cackles, mostly.

    Kamala Harris stands for equity and justice

     


    Equity is forcing you to work for the health of the regime. Justice is executing you if you refuse.

    Remember, 1 year ago California Democrats preferred Pocahonky for president over their own Senator Kamala Harris by 3 to 1

     

    Which is why Kamala dropped out on Dec 3, just days after this poll was released.

    US COVID-19 deaths have crossed the 230k mark today in the Johns Hopkins data

     Don't let Joe Biden and Kamala Harris confuse you. There aren't 220 million dead. There aren't 120 million dead. There aren't 210 million dead.

    230 thousand. Today.

    Biden in the cat bird seat: Just as Bernie tanked after promising criminals will get to vote, Warren has tanked after hedging on Medicare for all

    Ezra Klein, here:

    One lesson of the past few weeks is that the Medicare-for-all debate has become a minefield for Democrats — and it’s not clear that any candidate has a safe path through it.

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren has dropped 14 points since October 8, when she briefly led the Democratic field in the RealClearPolitics polling average. Most attribute her decline to her handling of Medicare-for-all — the financing plan she released made her the target of attacks from the moderates, and then the transition plan she released, which envisions a robust public option in the first year of her presidency and only moving to Medicare-for-all in year three, left single-payer advocates unnerved about her commitment to the cause.

    The Democrat left has been its own worst enemy.

    In addition to alienating working people by going soft on crime, the people who bear the brunt of it,  Bernie has notably lost ground with the working class by flipping on immigration restriction. Every new immigrant drives down their wages when immigrants are not taking their jobs outright.

    For her part, on top of hedging on Medicare for all, Warren has rolled out a veritable cornucopia of crazy in this campaign, including a ban on all fracking in the US and ending the Electoral College. Combined with the recent lying about the little details of her life, voters justifiably doubt her sincerity on these larger issues and suspect that she cares about little except getting the power into her hands.

    Hence the default candidate still on top, Joe Biden.

    America's political institutions are still so structured that even when radicals like Obama do win, those institutions frustrate their aims. The upside of this is that harmful radicalism is usually stopped in its tracks. The downside is that mediocrities and grotesques are produced.

    Just as Obama was content to let his Clinton retreads handle the Great Financial Crisis resulting in the still poor full time employment, moribund GDP, unaffordable housing and low interest rates catastrophic to income portfolios of the present time, Obama provided zero leadership on healthcare reform. This resulted in the competing Democrat House and Senate versions which consumed his first year in office, and eventually produced the Affordable Care Act camel, a horse designed by a committee. He sure did enjoy watching basketball in the private residence, though, and went on to make the Bush tax cuts permanent after winning re-election in 2012. Some radical, huh?

    The same thing has happened with Trump. Although promising us the moon about immigration, healthcare reform and foreign wars, he instead delivered tax reform mostly for the corporations and huge spending increases for the military industrial complex, which is the basic consensus of the Republican caucus in Congress, foolishly hoping that they would give him a little somethin' somethin' in return.

    Nothing doing. Even trade realignment will disappear when Trump does.

    Trump's problem is that he never had a political faction holding any seats in Congress to drive his agenda. He just assumed the existing members would adopt his positions, which is pretty damn naive considering how he attacked and alienated them all throughout 2015-2016. Instead, Trump has steadily moved away from his own positions and adopted theirs, for his own political survival.

    Trump's porous bollard fencing instead of the real wall he promised is simply the most public symbol of this, going back as it does to the George W. Bush administration.

    The only radical realignment we have seen is the realignment of the radicals with their respective parties, and Election 2020 will be the same old, same old fight between them.

    Those who won't realign get discarded.

    This is the tyranny of the legislative. And the only way to remedy this is to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, the great mistake of 1951. Only the threat of a Trump or an Obama perpetually in the White House will restore the balance of power between the three branches of government and advance the interests of the people who vote for the president.

    As things stand, the best we can hope for is a president desperately stacking the courts to increase his power in a tyranny of the judiciary, which is hardly the remedy intended by the founders and is unacceptable to Americans loyal to the constitution and the nation as founded. The three stooges of the law schools on display at the impeachment hearing yesterday are proof enough of that.
