Friday Quick Hitters - 8/2/2024

It's Friday afternoon, and I'm short on time. Lemme just toss a couple of things out there:

 

Look ma, no votes!

1. Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly became the Democratic Party's Presidential Nominee today. The party that is saving or protecting democracy (oh, I forgot, it's freedom they're saving now, "saving democracy" wasn't polling well) has installed a person who hasn't answered reporters questions on anything about anything, whose appearances are only in front of friendlies, and only with a teleprompter. The nominee won no primaries. Nobody voted for her her for President in 2024 at all. Her staff is revising every one of her far left positions on every issue to something more palatable to a broader audience. But Dems and the media? All in! Who gives a shit if she's capable or competent?

2. Race is the third rail of politics for any conservative or Republican. If you don't conform to leftist racial orthodoxies, almost every question on race is the equivalent of the no right answer: "Do you still beat your wife?" For me, IDGAF if Harris is Black, Asian, Canadian, African American, or whatever the heck she's marketing herself as today, the bottom line is she is terrible on all of my most important issues: immigration, the economy, crime, foreign affairs, and 2A rights. And yes, she was the fucking border czar according to leftist media when it suited their narrative, now I'm supposed to be so goddamned stupid I don't remember. Talk to Joe, he's the one who don't remember.

3. Joe Biden is going, going, gone. The man is looney tunes and is is an embarrassment and a disgrace that he is still in office. He doesn't know where he is half the time, nor who he's talking to. He wanders lost at events and loses his train of thought 20x more often than your clothes dryer loses socks. Commander in Chief is living large in the cuckoo's nest.

4. Trump is NOT a conservative. He is a mid-stream moderate. This is why the GOP establishment hates him. If you want to know why Trump has swerved to the left/middle lately, I'll tell you, and it might not be what you think. The small tent, establishment, right wing of the GOP has abandoned him because he's not conservative enough for them. It seems they're intransigent, and he needs more votes. If he can't get them on the right, where the hell do they think he's going to turn? Dumbasses. You're pushing him leftward yourselves.

5. I like J.D. Vance. I have been closely watching politics for a long, long time. I'm here to tell you, no matter who Trump picked, the left/Dems and establishment/GOP would be engaged in the same screeching and howling. And a bunch of weirdos calling him weird is really weird.

Have a nice weekend.
