Is Kamala Very Very Afraid?

You might wonder, as I do, whether Kamala Harris can even stay in the race until November 5. Based on her grim appearance in last week’s “interview” with Dana Bash, slumped at the table of a crummy Georgia café under poor lighting, her trademark cackle suppressed, she looked psychologically wilted. Don’t be surprised if late this week she “catches Covid” and asks to “postpone” the September 10 debate with Mr. Trump.

Consider the depressing reality of her situation, lately cloaked by the farcical “joy” motif put out by her party’s campaign spin doctors: First, the cabal running the White House bum-rushed “Joe Biden” out of the campaign, just hooked him offstage like a broke-down vaudevillian annoying the audience with his tired antics. Then, the same gang buffaloed Kamala onto center stage by some mystical process that disregarded her lack of preparation, her proven unpopularity in the 2020 primaries, and her near-invisibility in 3.5 years as veep.

For a couple of weeks her head must have been spinning with sheer intoxication at the amazing turn of events. Who wouldn’t be amazed to find him or herself unexpectedly selected to run for president? But now, post the artificial hoopla of the convention, the dread steals in. If she was previously used to self-medicating with chardonnay during the irksome veep years, imagine the pressure now on those campaign bus trips.

She has a lot to be afraid of. She’s not nimble of mind in the spotlight, and she knows it. When she tries to riff on anything off-the-cuff, all that comes out are laughable tautologies. She really doesn’t know much about the world, even about simple geography, certainly not the complex interplay of national interests. Her economic notions are a kind of Frappuccino® of processed Marxian sludge from the Berkeley cafés. If exposed regularly to even friendly reporters, she’d ignite howling embarrassment for herself (and the party). And, after all, there’s her record, including hundreds of videos on the Internet showing plainly the crazy policies she supports and now has to pretend to dissociate from.

Lurking behind her is not only the American intel blob of dark forces and sinister figures, but an international blob made up of malevolent groups within and throughout Western Civ, clearly working to bring it down — the Eurocrats wrecking their own countries’ agriculture and their industrial economies while jailing their opponents for thought crimes; the WEFers pushing the demented climate change agenda and ruinous migrant invasions; the bankers looking to seize the “collateral” (property, chattels, investment portfolios) of a billion everyday citizens when the bond Ponzi scheme blows up, as it must; the WHO steered by Bill Gates seeking to inject unsafe vaccines into everybody in order to greatly and quickly reduce the population; the Soros NGO legions working to subvert the public interest here, there, and everywhere; the NATO warmongers trying like hell to start World War Three. . . . Kamala Harris surely understands — if she understands anything — that she has become their chosen pawn, and is at their mercy (they have none).

She should be afraid especially of the American blob. That combine of higher-ups in the CIA, the DOD, the FBI, the DHS, the State Department, and Gawd knows how many lesser-known agencies and “black op” back offices, knows that it is in great danger if Mr. Trump happens to get elected (despite their best efforts to rig things). After all the trips laid on him, all the way up to attempted assassination, you can be sure that Mr. Trump will be coming after the cabal for committing real and serious crimes. They are running scared now. Despite all the power seemingly at their command, nothing has availed so far — not lawfare, not bullets — to stop Mr. Trump’s implacable march back into the Oval Office, where he could possibly succeed in turning the USA back into a functioning republic

Poor Kamala Harris is the blob’s wholly inadequate instrument to fend off this fate. If she continues to perform badly, the blob might not hesitate to try getting rid of her.......SNIP

Can you delete this post? The select grabbed things off my screen that I did not intend to post.

Is she smart enough to be afraid?

Perhaps you should consider editing out the advertising garbage before posting.

The ‘Preview’ button should be made mandatory. Your time is not more valuable than mine.

Instead of pleading with the Admin to correct your error, commit to showing a little respect to others.

If I had seen it I would have. The little text box is too small to show anything but the last 10 lines or so.

She has a lot to be afraid of. She’s not nimble of mind in the spotlight, and she knows it.

The woman obviously does not live in reality.

If she did she would not have run for the presidency the first time.

I doubt that it was her choice to to end her campaign back in 2020. I would bet that she had to be forced to end the campaign by her staff.

The woman has an outsized ego that compensates for her feelings of worthlessness.

The woman is a narcissist.

Harris isn’t smart enough to be afraid, she just goes with the flow.

Old habits die hard.

Trump's approach to governing: "Okay, who do I have to negotiate with to get this deal done?"

Kamala's approach is quite similar...but different in one very important way.

Kamala's approach to governing: "Okay, who do I have to copulate with to get this deal done?"

Beat me to it. I don’t think she cares if she wins or not. I think she’s just happy in the knowledge that she’s doing what she was told to do.

It would be nice if there was an edit capability.

Edit out the ads and the duplicate text? What’s next, reading the articles before replying? Just where exactly do you think we are?

Don’t worry about it. Mistakes happen. Fact is, if people feel “real” strong about what you posted they can just ignore the thread. That’s what I do.

Everybody makes mistakes, and the fact that you can’t delete your own stuff here just exasperates the problem. Also, since the internet forum culture in 2024 is one that allows you to edit and delete stuff AFTER posting, it affects your posting style. i.e. you learn to use that feature. So whenever you are in a place where you don’t have that feature, you get caught with your pants down. It still happens to me from time to time and I’ve been a member here since 1997.

It is. You must Preview your post at least once before you can post it.

Many people on the Left have no sense of self-awareness ... none. Coupled with her clearly demonstrated lack of intellect, I think Harris has not even considered the idea of being afraid. In her feeble mind, she just “is”.
