Nobody wants to be the journalist who gives us a second term of Donald Trump.
That’s why they all lied about Joe Biden’s health, all the way back from the minute it was obvious he’d be the 2020 Democratic nominee until about five minutes into his disastrous debate last June. The journos decided the only candidate older than Trump was their best chance against Trump, so they put aside their ethics and dignity and other useless notions.
That’s also why they diligently told the truth about Biden’s health from June 27 until he finally dropped out on July 21. For three intense weeks, they actually did their jobs against a Democrat for once. And of course, they pretended they had no idea how bad his condition was before the debate.
Instant senility. Just add panic!
Which is also why they’re fine with Biden still pretending to serve as president, even though it’s obvious his brain is applesauce. Logically, it makes no sense to keep him in power. Fortunately for them, logic and politics are bitter foes.
At least now Biden’s staffers can push all sorts of crazy stuff on us for the next six months — “Reform” the Supreme Court? Yes, please! — with the eager assistance of our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the press.
And of course, that’s why they’re all lying their asses off for Kamala.
She has to win, or the past four years have been for naught. As far as the journos and their fellow Democrats are concerned, nothing else matters. Not her record, or lack thereof. Not any of her past statements. Certainly not her total inability to think on her feet or answer an uncomfortable question without bursting into unnerving, Joker-like laughter.
In order to stop what they consider to be a cult of personality, they feel justified in forming one of their own.
There’s just one problem. A cult of personality requires a personality.
Not… this:
“This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy. and strengthening alliances.”
Oh.
This is the sort of meaningless gibberish Obama could get away with, because of his sonorous voice and imperturbable affect. This woman has neither.
She sounds like what she is: A nervous dummy who knows she’s in way over her head, so she memorizes three or four key words from her briefing and repeats them in different combinations until it almost sounds like a sentence.
(By the way, she and ol’ Joe are both furious that Israel just took out several key terrorists. Bibi met with Kamala last week and said, “The hell with it, those pricks have gotta go pronto.” But the Jews aren’t supposed to defend themselves, because it makes the Democrats look bad. That’s the “diplomacy” she’s trying to talk about.)
She’s so bad at this, she had to sit in her SUV on the tarmac for half an hour before she read a statement from a binder and took no questions. She even needed a portable podium set up just to stand in front of the press:
Confidence.
And then she turned right around and walked away without acknowledging them. No questions, please, she’s running for president!
But don’t imagine she’ll be a pushover in November. No matter what happens, including the debate she claims to want, the press will laud her as their new monarch. Kween Kamala. They dragged Joe across the finish line, and they’ll do it again.
For the next 95 days, they’ll let her float from one scripted moment to the next. There’s no time for anything more convincing.
And when she does screw up, which she will, they will lie and lie and lie to us. And they will call it journalism.
Which is nothing new, of course. The only difference is, this time it’s a rush job.
This ditz sure has blurted out some doozies over the years. Hat tip to The Blaze for digging up this clip from 2017:
“And when we all sing happy tunes, and sing ‘Merry Christmas,’ and wish each other ‘Merry Christmas’… these children are not gonna have a Merry Christmas. How dare we speak ‘Merry Christmas’? How dare we?”
Well? Answer the woman!
KAMALA 2024: F*** Christmas
Trump isn’t doing himself any favors either, but nobody wants to hear it and he’ll just keep doing whatever he wants anyway. Good luck!
It’s been less than two months since I took a week off the internet, and I need another one. I can barely even process half of the stuff that has happened since the debate. That’s the thing about the news business: $#!+ just keeps occurring.
Look on the bright side: At least none of it matters. Our betters will get what they want, again and again, no matter what happens to the rest of us. Hooray!
2 weeks ago, I was sure that Trump had things locked up. Even after Joe Biden dropped out there was a window of premium opportunity for the Trump campaign to get ahead of things, but I forgot that that required discipline and an "on message" candidate - things that Donald Trump just isn't. At the rate things are goin it won't matter how terrible she is, because the average low-interest voter won't know or care and just vote for who Cardi B or Mark Hamill tells them to vote for.
If the GOP wants to win this they just need to do their own ads hammering on the economy, border, and foreign policy chaos at least making good showing of it. I guess we'll just be moving into our 4th election cycle loss instead.
"...and CANCEL CHRISTMAS...!"
