While I did not subject myself to the torture of watching the State of the Union address last week, I have seen a lot of pictures from the evening. The site of Kamala Harris sitting behind Joe Biden and ready to leap into his place was a little too much reality for me as I headed into the weekend.
That’s a real one-two punch of idiotic awful that we have occupying the top two offices in the land.
Madame Veep has been dispatched to the campaign trail a lot lately. It’s the “lesser of two trainwrecks” calculation part of the Basement Strategy 2.0 that Team Biden has already launched for this election year. The puppet masters who are running Joe Biden’s brain know that it’s a crap shoot whenever Harris and her boss are using their words, so they prep them as best they can with script practice.
A big part of the script these days finds everyone in the Biden administration pretending that they aren’t anti-Israel and pro-terrorist. Here are some of Harris’s recent remarks that Rick covered in a weekend post:
“It’s important for us to distinguish or at least not conflate the Israeli government with the Israeli people. The Israeli people are entitled to security – as are the Palestinians. In equal measure,” she said in the interview.
“And our work as always as the United States is to do what we must, and what we always have, to stand for the security of Israel and its people, and also to do what we have done behind closed doors and in public around forcing a better path forward in terms of what’s happening currently in Gaza.”
Obviously, the administration is basing its diplomatic approach to Israel on condescension. The presumption is that the State Department short bus currently headed by Antony Blinken knows what’s best for Israel when it comes to keeping themselves safe from terrorist Jihadi psychopaths.
They also tend to mention Hamas as little as possible. It’s all “Gaza,” all the time, as part of the ongoing effort by Democrats to pretend that big terrorists were never little terrorists anywhere. They just appear fully grown from a terrorist factory of unknown origin.
As far as the Israelis are concerned, they don’t need “a better path forward” in Gaza. Based on their goals, they are presently on the best of all possible paths. They don’t need some thinly veiled cheerleading for the murderous thugs who are hiding out in Gaza.
To the surprise of no one, there was a lot of ceasefire/Gaza nonsense at last night’s Academy Awards ceremony. We expect that from vapid, uninformed actors though. It is an entirely different thing when the Vice President of the United States of America is throwing an ally under the bus and publicly propping up the bad guys.
Harris is very wrong about the Israeli government and the Israeli people not being in sync about how best to deal with Hamas. My RedState colleague Nick Arama wrote on Sunday that the Biden administration’s attempts to make it seem as if Benjamin Netanyahu is going after Hamas without the overwhelming support of his country could backfire on them.
Harris’s increased camera time while they were getting Joe rested up for the State of the Union address has been a disturbing reminder of where we’re headed should one of Biden’s glitches turn out to be a little more permanent. The presidential medical staff may have gotten the old man wired enough to yell at clouds for an hour last Thursday, but he was a little rough afterwards, which Nick also wrote about. I wasn’t really kidding in last Friday’s Briefing when I said he might have to nap until Easter.
Joe isn’t going anywhere, which means neither is Kamala. Yes, I’ve read and heard every alt Biden-Harris scenario for 2024, and have written extensively on why I don’t think they are going to happen. I won’t be rehashing today.
For reasons that I can’t fathom, a lot of conservatives have talked themselves into believing that Kamala Harris will never become president. The consensus has been that the Democrats know she’s a liability, so they’re going to get her out of the way.
I would remind everyone that the Democrats are the ones who were OK with her being on the ticket four years ago even though they had just mercilessly rejected her a few months earlier. The diversity checkboxes far outweigh the poll numbers for them. They’re not kicking her to any curbs.
I really hope that President LOLEightyonemillion gets that nap.
The cold hard fact that Joe AND Kommiela, Obama, Michelle, et.al are all attorneys tell me that the American Bar is very low bar indeed.
Yes she was chosen not only for identity politics but as an impeachment deterrent.
And I am expected to believe this guy is handling day to day tasks. Give me a break.
I can see them leaping to the cable and tearing it from the wall in a panic.
Time to end this charade
If dems were smart (which they are not) they would play up kamala’s rise in power as joe falls to senility.
Seems the dems are losing their black voter base.
According to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll this week, only 78 percent of black voters said they would vote for Biden in 2024 instead of the 90% dems usually count on.
There’s plenty of time for that percentage to drop further as Trump goes into full country campaign mode.
Of course, lots of people realize kamala isn’t black. She’s 1/2 Jamaican and 1/2 Indian (from the Asian continent.)
Hamas had 24 brigades and the IDF has destroyed 20 of them. Being that close to total success, NO ONE is going to dissuade them from finishing the job. God Bless the poor hostages, but most of them are probably already dead or wish they were.
All the loss of life (except for Hamas and anyone that supported them) is tragic, but the truly bright spot of the chaos on the left over the IDF’s self defense is that this was another one of Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden’s self-inflicted wounds. Were it not for him reversing all of Trump’s policies regarding Iran, there would have been no Hamas attack on Israel October 7th.
Kamala, of course, is as clueless as the rest of the left regarding taking self defense seriously. They don’t understand a government actually being concerned with the safety and lives of their citizens.
Isn’t her hubby Jewish?
biden doesn’t have a base. He’s a propped up puppet at the head of a radical junta. The American People by and large do not want biden. Ask anyone what they think of him and all positive responses are sycophantic or from imbeciles trying to be socially accepted. Only a small minority, 15%, actually support the biden junta agenda.
Classic khlamydia word salad;
“But we all watched the television coverage of just yesterday. That’s on top of everything else that we know and don’t know yet, based on what we’ve just been able to see. And because we’ve seen it or not doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened.”
“The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.”
“We must together. Work together. To see where we are. Where we are headed, where we are going and our vision for where we should be. But also see it as a moment to, yes. Together, address the challenges and to work on the opportunities that are presented by this moment.”
“We invested an additional $12 billion into community banks, because we know community banks are in the community, and understand the needs and desires of that community as well as the talent and capacity of community.”
“It’s very important for us, at every moment in time to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present.”
“And you know, when I speak with small business owners and entrepreneurs, is some of our younger small business owners actually self-identify as entrepreneurs. They’re small business owners also. Ha ha ha! But we’ll go with whatever you like! Small business owner or entrepreneurs.”
