All hail Kamala the Great!
Joe Biden was nobody’s favorite candidate (except maybe Jill’s and Hunter’s). He was chosen in 2020 not by popular demand, but by the powers that be convincing all the other candidates to drop out and leave Biden as the last man standing. This was because he was considered the best candidate to beat Donald Trump, not for any other reason.
And Kamala Harris was markedly unpopular also and has remained so. She was chosen for her demographics.
But ultimately it became clear that Joe couldn’t win in 2024, so he had to go. Kamala has become the replacement for the simple reason that getting rid of her would require alienating much of the Democrats’ base, as well as for financial/legal reasons. She also seems to be polling somewhat better than Joe right now.
So here we are and Kamala Harris is the anointed successor.
The Democrats and the MSM have figured out a way to handle all of this. It involves three steps. The first is to re-invent Kamala as the ENERGIZED! EXCITING! FRESH! candidate, as though she just dropped in from planet Xenon and has no history. Her remarkably undistinguished record (and that’s being kind) as part of the Biden administration’s failures will be ignored, in hopes of Kamala 2.0 catching on with the public. Step 2 will be to hammer home the idea that Republicans threaten women’s “reproductive rights” and Kamala and the Democrats will protect them. Step 3 involves choosing a more moderate running mate in order to preserve the fiction that Kamala will not govern from the far left.
I’ve been excitedly awaiting the school-of-fish pivot on a dime to Kamala Harris, The Voice Of The People!
To your point #2, I venture a guess that certain voices on the right will find themselves with newly-amplified voices and access to funding streams.
So has “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics” been working for Biden this election cycle? Will it go on working for Harris? Possibly, but it seems like the esprit de corps this year is much less than it was in 2024. Yeah, yeah, yeah, save “Our Democracy,” but is the energy still there?
A matchup of polar opposites: One is as anti-Israel as it gets, the other as pro-Israel as it gets – the starkest contrast in history.

Step 3 involves choosing a more moderate running mate in order to preserve the fiction that Kamala will not govern from the far left.

That’s what they’ll say. That is, anyone she picks will be deemed “moderate” by the presstitutes. They’d say that about AOC.
If Kamala Cackling Harris had been pushed aside, there perhaps would have been an uproar within certain circles of that party, but it would have been temporary and would have been a tempest within a teapot.
Once a new nominee had been appointed all the Dems, as usual would have circled the wagons and supported the new nominee.
Dem voters, if given the choice between a walking talking living republican and a democrat that is an honest to goodness cadaver, will always vote for the cadaver.
Think about it; it’s now common knowledge that democrat insiders – this includes Kama Cackling Harris – have been lying to everybody for several years now in regards to Joke Bidet’s diminished mental acuity.
But so what; the Dems have all joined the Cackler’s caravan and her lies have all been conveniently forgotten.
When the ultimate goal is power, the ends justifies the means.
Front Page Magazine has a backgrounder on Harris, scary as hell:
https://www.frontpagemag.com/who-is-kamala-harris/
They’ve taken some of the info from a Rumble video I saw referenced by a commenter there yesterday, by one Trevor Loudon. With the caveat that I don’t know anything about him, but with at least the endorsement of FP, I recommend watching it as somehow more sobering than text:
https://rumble.com/vdpgtz-dyed-in-red.html
I haven’t read about her record as a prosecutor in CA, but would be vary careful echoing the “she locked up black men!” angle based on the FP summary. Also careful about the “she’s just there because she slept with Willy Brown.” If you believe any of this information, there is far more to her background than that.
Willy brown as much as admitted it he helped her defeat hallinan who became a novelist trevor is a real thorough researcher
I expect Kamala may have a brief honeymoon period as voters may have forgotten why it was exactly that she dropped out of the 2020 race before the primaries started. She has been close to invisible as VP after her interviews and speeches have been so thoroughly mocked. The more she speaks the more she will remind people of why they never liked her before.
She possesses an interesting combination of ambition, incompetence and laziness. She seems unable or unwilling to do the basic work to prepare for interviews or speeches and seems to think that she can just make it up as she goes along. She doesn’t have the intelligence to pull this off, resulting in the nonsensical word salads for which she is so well known.
Given our corrupt election system maybe this most unqualified DEI candidate can manage to win anyway. If so I guess we deserve what we get.

“Kamala Harris was markedly unpopular also and has remained so.”
Indeed. Which is why all the propagandistic re-inventing of Kamala is doomed. Will the dems dare to have her debate Trump? If not, Trump can accuse her of political cowardice. That alone disqualifies her, as if she can’t deal with Trump, how can she be expected to deal with Putin, Xi and Iran?
Republicans threaten women’s “reproductive rights”
Trump has neatly neutered that talking point.
“choosing a more moderate running mate in order to preserve the fiction that Kamala will not govern from the far left.”
Possibly but what ‘moderate’ democrat with national name recognition do the dems have that will appeal to independents?

She’s a ‘ho who got where she was by first (obscenity deleted) a powerful male, secondly on account of her possession of a uterus and a dark-brown year round tan (and so was the flav of the month when it came to picking her for VP). She has nothing else to recommend her, except perhaps paying a bomb to oppo research to find stuff to throw at any political opponent.
Prediction – she will find something damaging to throw at Vance. But since he has already put his life out there in a best-selling memoir … maybe it won’t stick.
Ages ago, I was active in a local medium-sized city Tea Party chapter. One of our members, who was a corporate executive and a trained lawyer, warned us other board members about oppo research. I’d already put my life out there on the original mil-blog and in a memoir cobbled together from those various posts. So, I giggled, and told him that at the very least, I’d get some book sales out of it.

All I’ve got is the decisive thing. Can’t believe they turn out any more than they did for Hillary in 2016.
We can’t help ourselves. We so want to discuss the merits of A vs. B and then reach a rational conclusion.
What we should be discussing and investigating and creating antibodies for is “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics”. NH R’s can not even stop 6,000 out of state students from voting here; they are clearly useless against the above “organization”.
That capacity to steal along with the mind numbingly high number of folks who will “vote Dem no matter what…” is where the answer lies.
They better gin up an emergency excuse to keep her out of the public eye during the campaign.
If decades in the public forum have not schooled her in adult level behavior while in front of a microphone or camera, I doubt that a miracle will happen in the 3 months.
Even if she does not go off on a rhetorical tour of the absurd, her gestures and body language are cringe worthy; as in childish.
Some knowledgeable folks have said that the GOP should stay clear of attacking her historical path to political prominence. I suspect that most honest women would bridle at her tactics.
Abortion has always been a minefield. It has become a knee jerk issue, with no rational thought; and that is what the Democrats have. Sadly. If people were willing to listen, and think rationally, Dr Ben Carson’s voice would be pivotal. I doubt that there are many who know better than he, what is going on pre-birth; and what is being destroyed by unrestricted late term abortions. A fanciful thought. Not listening.
If that purely emotional issue can drive the the country to elect another incompetent, then the country deserves the long term effects. You only get so many chances to correct mistakes.
Kamala wants to be the candidate unmoored from her past, “unburdened by what has been,” for example:
Cover-ups
Deception
Lies
Incompetence
Ignorance
Refusal to do her job
Who wouldn’t want to erase the burdens of a past like this?
And they take the sacrifices to the temple for St. Kamala now resides there!
Irish Otter,
You’re absolutely right as to your premise. As to your conclusion: we will see.
Harris is a midwit and an airhead. All of her political ‘achievements’ are due to her connections and her diversity status. Were she a white male, she would never have advanced beyond a small tow city council (if that).
Harris primarily appeals to the ‘Oprah Class’. College educated middle, upper middle and upper class women over 40; disproportionately white, in deep blue metro areas. While this group votes overwhelmingly Democrat no matter what, Harris will inspire and motivate them more than Brandon, for sure. She will also generate a higher turnout among blacks (especially black woman) than Biden. Conversely, she has little appeal with blue collar whites, who still are an important voting block in the Rust Belt. Only time will tell how this all balances out
Convince me I’m wrong. Please.
IrishOtter49:
If you insist, mon ami. 🙂
A few weeks ago you were convinced that Biden would be the nominee and, no matter what, he would be dragged across the finish line by hook or by crook for a second term.
Call me crazy, but I don’t think 2024 is 2020, 2022 or even 2023. Things change and things have changed. I see much promising change happening.
After all the lawfare they threw at Trump, his polls just kept getting stronger. Americans figured it out. Even the judicial system came through in all but the weak Bragg case, which will be appealed.
The constant Democrat lying about Biden’s health and Bidenomics has been exposed in spades. Americans know those lies now as well.
Compare the current state of the Republican Party vs the Democrats. Damn, I’m excited, optimistic, as well as fearful, right now.
Which doesn’t mean It’s Morning in America, no worries, so let’s break out the mimosas. But it’s not Richard II time either:

Interesting fact. According to the WSJ, Kamala’s unfavorability rating with Seniors is 61% (!). Biden was oddly popular with seniors. Which means, whatever incremental slice of support she picks up from black women over Biden, she will lose from senior citizens.
None of the incessant, fawning, gushing encomiums of Harris over the last two days should in any way surprise us. We knew as soon as Brandon was kicked to the curb the MSM would resume their role as the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. But fawn and gush as much as the want, they cannot change reality: Harris is an airhead and a lightweight, who would never have accomplished 90% of what she has were it not for her connections and her diversity points.
We saw this on full display during her disastrous Presidential bid. We have seen it repeatedly during her Vice Presidency, when even simple, ceremonial and ‘puff’ duties caused her to descend into cackles and word salad.
Democrats are in a dopamine rush right now. The relief from Biden finally giving in, combined with the excitement of their ‘DEI Presumptive Nominee’, is certainly making them giddy. Between that, and the MSM fawning, I’m sure Harris will get a bump in the polls.
But none of the above will last. Because, to repeat, Harris is an airhead and a lightweight. Most everyone (including many Democrats) were well aware of this up until a few weeks ago. Once she’s been in the full spotlight for a month or two, her vapid, embarrassingly unprepared persona will again be on full display.
Ultimately, Trump is still likely going to win, although probably by a smaller margin than against Brandon
If Kamala is installed as President, the Éminence Grise will continue to govern as it has since 2021. The guy who used to play the President on television has been written out of the script, and they have recast the role, but the script remains the same.
Re: Kamala
We’re not home and dry. Bob’s not our uncle either. Kamala will get a bounce, a makeover and a honeymoon. This could still get tricky.
However, I agree with Ackler:

One theory I’ve encountered is that the Powers That Be are backing Harris now because it’s the easiest thing to do and if she flames out, they still have time to wheel out someone else.
That’s the way Democracy works, I guess.
Kamala is beatable, so Trump/Vance dodged a bullet.

Can the DNC pull it off? Tulsi Gabbard shredded Kamala in 2020. I suspect we’ll be seeing a lot of her over the coming months.

Please, do not underestimate Harris.
It’s hard to be optimistic knowing how corrupt our institutions have become but if you had told me six months ago that all the lawfare against Trump would fall apart; that Biden would perform so badly in a debate that he would be forced to suspend his campaign; that Trump would heroically survive an assassination attempt while simultaneously creating one of the most iconic images in American political history; and that the Democrats would put all their eggs in cackling Kamala’s basket; I simply would not have believed that Trump could be so fortunate.
I’ve despised Joe Biden since the 80’s, this may be an East Coast thing. But he was certainly charismatic, as creepy as it was. Kamala has none of that natural attraction, she seems to repel people who want to help and support her.
huxley,
Well said, lad. BTW. I’m delighted to have been wrong about Biden. Sometimes it’s good to be wrong.
To be there, they WERE going to drag him across the finish line…until he became undraggable…
The MFM is already doing for Kamala what she did for Willie Brown. Here are a few stories from Wednesday’s WSJ:
“What Would a Harris Presidency Mean for the Economy?
Vice President Kamala Harris puts a focus on workers and the middle class as she launches her White House bid.”
“Harris Casts Trump as ‘Focused on the Past’ in Energetic Campaign Debut”
“How Harris Locked Up the Nomination in 48 Hours
The vice president moved quickly after President Biden’s exit to sew up delegates’ support,” (as if it were her doing lol)
The irony is that the reason they covered up Biden’s dementia for so long was because they had no faith in Harris. But they got the bat signal from Obama (or whoever is calling these shots) so they turn on a dime. Pravda-worthy.
Oops. “To be fair…”

Trevor Laudon was a guest speaker at a luncheon I attended 2018 or so. He said then that leftist forces would make Harris President! He is very well versed on Steven Phillips and his radical roots. Loudon is from New Zealand.
The media sees Kamala as a welcome opportunity to resume lying to the American people, after a brief interlude where the Democrats ordered them to tell the truth about Joe. It was a horrible, disgusting experience for them!
Hello and thanks to Brian E. on July 23, 9:51 p.m. :
One might also contrast Harris’s desire to be “unburdened” by the past with JFK’s inaugural warning that the U.S. would “bear any burden” in the pursuit of liberty.
Per your observation that Tulsi Gabbard shredded Kamala in the 2020 primary debates (excellent work by Tulsi), did you notice how Kamala remained mute? She has likely gotten better at defending herself, but if she can’t think on her feet (strange for a prosecutor), it is going to be difficult for her.
Harris was the one, who as CA AG, decided that microstamping would be required on semiauto handguns. This resulted in no new semiauto handguns in CA starting in 2013 until basically this year (due to court cases and CA deciding to take a loss on that particular restriction).
CA passed a microstamping law, but since no available handguns featured that they put implementation on hold pending the development of that technology. Harris as AG decided that aspect of the law would go into effect.
The result was a decade where no one in CA (except LEOs) could buy new semiauto handguns.
Thanks to Trump judges, with the Bruin decision (building on Heller and McDonald), and recent court challenges based on those, microstamping was removed as a requirement.
Feel the Kamalamentum!
