Why Did the Dem Nominee Skip Her Own Convention?

Seems disarrayed to me

Nothing about the Democratic National Convention makes sense, because nothing about the Democratic Party makes sense, because nothing about American life in 2024 makes sense.

So it makes sense that while Kamala Harris was receiving the Democratic nomination in Chicago last night, she was in… Milwaukee?

Wait, what?

Yes, she was 90 miles away. On purpose.

The Dem spin is that she’s needling Trump over his obsession with crowd sizes. “See? I can fill up two stadiums!” That’s their story and they’re sticking to it.

But it seems pretty weird that Kamala was in another city while the two biggest stars in her party, Barack and Michelle Obama, were talking about how great she is and why you should vote for her.¹

“Tweaking Trump” is a somewhat plausible explanation for Kamala’s absence during the biggest moment of her political career, and maybe there’s a world where it’s actually true. But Jacqui Heinrich has an alternate theory:

So does the New York Post:

Why was Harris in Milwaukee on DNC Day 2 instead of Chicago? The unprecedented move may point to a deeper rift in the party over Harris’ candidacy.

“It’s all manufactured,” a source close to the Biden family told The Post of the “hype” about Harris. “Obama and Biden know she is going to lose…”

In one final snub to the Obamas, attendees were sent outside after Harris and Walz left the stage following the veep’s campaign speech. The crowd was told it could watch the remainder of that night’s DNC — including the Obamas’ speeches — on a Jumbotron set up outside the Fiserv arena.

The vast majority of attendees left immediately.

So there’s that.

Look, I get it. The purpose of a political convention is to tell you great big lies about a great big liar. But this load of caca del toro has to be too big for even the staunchest lib to swallow.

The Bidens and the Obamas hated each other even before the palace coup, and now it’s so toxic that Kamala won’t even share a stage with the guy who just shivved her boss.

And because Kamala is terrified of reporters, who are terrified of somehow inadvertently aiding Trump, the rest of us need to make the most of the little scraps of information we can get. We’ve been forced to resort to Kremlinology. We’re deciphering the clues these sociopaths leave behind as they destroy everything in their wake. We’re reading between the lines.

Who snubbed who?

Whose fingerprints are on the knife in the other guy’s back?

What does this oddly worded statement from an unnamed campaign staffer mean? Who is it secretly insulting? When it’s walked back, which coded threat will it include?

And on and on and on. It’s a pit of vipers.

Then they call us conspiracy theorists. Which buys them enough time that when the theory turns out to be true — again — they’ve already moved on to the next lie.

That’s how Democrats govern.

Enjoying it so far?

Okay, here’s 15 seconds of Kamala talking, which is about my limit:

“We believe in a future where we lower the cost of living for America’s families. And when I am president, I will bring down the cost of groceries by making sure markets are competitive and fair!”

Got that? See, this skyrocketing inflation isn’t happening because the Democrats spent too much money and printed more. It’s happening because Kroger is greedy! And the only one who can save us from Big Grocery is the woman who’s been a heartbeat away from the presidency for the past four years.

What a bunch of Marxist claptrap. Ever notice all these corporations aren’t so “greedy” when a Republican is in the White House? You’d think that would be their time to shine.

That is, if you’re dumb enough to be a Democrat.

Keep this one in your pocket for the next time a lib scolds you about climate change:

Yet another reason to ask why she wasn’t there, instead of wasting fuel and spewing carbon to serve her own ego. That’ll really set off any good lib’s cognitive dissonance.

Oh yeah, and antisemitic Democrat protesters are now hounding their own party in both cities. That seems normal. As does the Planned Parenthood truck outside the DNC, giving vasectomies and abortions.

But hey, with every dead baby, you get a free taco!

Modern Democrats hate Jews and babies, which is why they think 10/7 was a great idea.

I’m not a big fan of the Republicans these days, but you couldn’t pay me to vote Democrat. They’ll have to wait till I join one of their biggest voting blocs: dead folks.

Dear reader, I don’t write this newsletter for my health. I need money to pay for things. Like health insurance. So stop being a cheapskate slacker deadbeat, and pay for a subscription already.

Pretty please with sugar on top.

1. I assume that’s what they said, anyway. I’m not watching any of this crap, but there’s not much else they can say at this point. They stabbed the old puppet in the back, and now they’re installing the new puppet. They’re telling the lies they need to tell. That’s politics.
