Observations From the Weekend - 8/26/2024

Afterward I'll tie the two together, but before I get to the invisible and 'retired on active duty' President currently in office, Joe Biden, I want to comment on an exchange I saw between Jonathan Karl of ABC and Republican Senator Tom Cotten yesterday. Interestingly, depending what news outlet you learn about the exchange on, if you don't watch it for yourself you could come away with a highly inaccurate description of same. I watched it.

Sen. Tom Cotten was on ABC's This Week with Harris propagandist Jonathan Karl yesterday.

Cotton pointed out a series of policy proposals Vice President Harris made as a Senator and as a Presidential candidate in the 2020 race. One of those was a call for the abolishment of private health insurance in favor of Medicare for all. Karl rebutted Cotten's assertion, saying Harris has changed her position on the issue within the context of this 2024 Presidential campaign, to which Cotten responded, correctly, 'no she hasn't'. Karl was insistent and Cotten said (paraphrasing) 'leaks or whispers by aides, lacking a clear statement from Harris herself, is NOT a change in her position on the issue' (or any other issue!).

What we have is a stealth candidate who speaks in slogans, clichés, and generalities. She doesn't give policy proposals, offering instead generalities and a complete and an intentional lack of specificity. Democrat voters are OK with that. They know she's far, far left. Far, far, far left. That's ok, because most of my Democrat friends pretend to be fairly moderate, but when push comes to shove, they're onboard with the far left agenda. They're fine with aides whispering and Harris remaining silent because they don't really care, and they know the aides are far lefties like them, so cool, let the unnamed, anonymous aides run the country. They really don't care at all to find out if this woman can do the job, because they're voting for the same cabal who are running the country now, just to keep on keeping on as they do with an incapacitated President laying on the beech, hiding from his duties.

Our figurehead in chief.

So, that's brung me to my second point. I saw a post on X by Miranda Devine yesterday, that President (in name only, he's only a figurehead now) Biden was leaving his vacation in California, which started immediately after his speech at the DNC Convention last Monday, for 9 more vacation days, this time at the beach in Delaware. Our president is absent. Yes, he's absent minded, but that's NOT what I'm referring to. What I'm referring to is his schedule and work. We already knew he was on a much reduced workday, remember the 10-4 leak? I contend he is barely working at all at this point. It would be interesting to know how many actual work days he has spent in the Oval Office since his dementia was exposed to the willfully blind on June 27th. That was two months ago, and I betcha he hasn't been in the office 10 times. I'm being generous, very, very generous, by saying 10.

Who the fuck is really in charge? And why in the hell are my Democrat friends okay with Harris not talking, and Biden not working? What the fuck is wrong with them?

There is an unnamed and unelected cabal running the United States right now. Our President is just a White House resident, but behind the scenes he's powerless and useless. The cabal who run the show now have installed, absolutely and totally undemocratically, but to the joy of Democrats, Kamala Harris, the sitting Vice President, as his heir. She doesn't talk to the press in any meaningful way. I heard at least two Democrat strategists this past weekend on Democrat propaganda TV networks advocate that she NOT talk policy and proposals, as doing so might reduce her chances in November. That was kind of shocking to me, they said the quiet part out loud. But I do agree, if she spoke of her policy proposals, some of them would be so bad, even lefties might be shocked, but more importantly, her inability to explain her proposals substantively in the face of even friendly scrutiny would expose her incompetence and lack of fitness for the job.

Fitness for the job? Okay, I admit it. They don't care at all about that. They trust the unelected cabal. They want the unelected cabal to remain in power. As long as they continue to choose to get their news from ABC and the likes of Jonathan Karl, and from MSNBC and the likes of Morning Joe ("This is the BEST Joe Biden EVER!") there is NO CHANCE at all they will think for themselves and look critically at the shambled Biden Presidency and virtual Harris candidacy. Kamala Harris' lack of specific policies allows them to fantasize about every and any lefty wish list items and presume Saint Kamala and the invisible gods she serves will surely deliver them: the whole kit and caboodle.

On the plus side, after pulling the plug on Joe and installing Kamala without any votes, they're done with the "threat to democracy" nonsense. At least the Orange Man is still bad!
