Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Boy, this is going to be one expensive pair of debates. – Last week, I rolled out a proposed drinking game to play during this week’s pair of Democrat debates: Take a shot of tequila every time one of the candidates makes a proposal that would cost more than $1 trillion. You’ll be dead within an hour.
At the rate this motley collection of miscreants, sloths, Commies and grifters is going, I’m going to have to revise that death estimate down to about 20 minutes.
Here are some examples of the trillions the various candidates have been proposing to spend just over the past 48 hours:
Bernie Sanders – The Commie proposes to just make all outstanding student loans vanish into thin air, and says he’ll pay for it with an unspecific “tax on Wall Street.”
Hey, guess who invests in the undefined boogeyman that Democrats refer to as “Wall Street”? Hundreds of millions of ordinary, every day Americans, including anyone who owns an IRA, a 401(k) or any other form of investment account. That’s who would really pay that “tax on Wall Street.”
Fauxcahontas – Princess Little Big Moneyspender, meanwhile, most recently proposed to pay “marriage reparations” to gay couples who had to file as “single” during the years before the law was changed.
Hey, do you think any enterprising Democrat candidate will think to propose to pay “student loan reparations” to us Baby Boomers who paid off not only our own student loans but also those of our children? Because I’ll be signing up for that one.
Irish Bob O’Rourke – Not to be outdone, Irish Bob introduced a new proposal over the weekend that would “help” veterans and their families by levying a special tax on families that do not include veterans or current military members. Thus, the former “rising star” of the Democrat Party finds a new way to not only violate all sorts of constitutional principles of taxation, but also to divide Americans even more than they already are by pitting family against family. Disgraceful.
Kamala Harris – One reason why Harris has faded in the race is that she’s just been running around basically saying “me too!” to the spending ideas of others. She’s for crashing the banking system by “forgiving” trillions in student loans; for any identity-based spending idea that comes along, like Warren’s “marriage reparations”; for paying reparations to millions of slave descendants; for pretty much anything that might get her a mention on the NBC Nightly News, basically.
So, anytime a question is asked of Harris, just go ahead and take a shot before she even answers, because you know whatever she says is coming right out of your pocket.
Cory Booker – I think I’ve just figured out why Cory Booker is performing so poorly in this race: He’s making a proposal that does NOT involve stealing money from one class of people to give to another or to divide the nation. His new deal involves setting up what he would call a “clemency panel” that would review the cases of 17,000 to 20,000 non-violent drug offenders currently serving time in our nation’s prison system. Given the absurd cost of housing such prisoners in the system, Booker’s program is something that would actually … wait for it… SAVE MONEY! No wonder this guy’s polling at just 2% among the Democrat Party’s demented voter base. He hasn’t a prayer.
Amy Klobuchar – The most abusive candidate in the race rolled out a list of dozens of actions she would take during her first 100 days in office, many of which would cost our nation hundreds of billions of dollars. Each. Among the most costly is the very first one on the list, which is to get our country back into the fraudulent Paris Climate Accords, which is nothing but a scheme to redistribute American wealth to all other countries on the face of the earth. That one alone will be worth 3 shots of tequila when she brags about it during the debate.
Kirsten Gillibrand – It appears the most inexplicable candidate nominally in the race for some reason has completely given up, since the only new proposal I could find her talking about over the last few days came when she told the New York Times that her favorite comfort food is…whiskey.
Now, that’s a campaign I could get behind!
Stock up on the Patron and Jose Cuervo, folks, it’s gonna be a long and expensive couple of nights.
That is all.

When is this debate by the way?
I may tune in for a few chuckles. The greatest zingers should be in the first few minutes anyway.
Seriously, which Democrat is going to go all in and simply say everything should be free?
You mean before Biden nods off?
Is it going to be softballs slowly pitched?
Or will it be a machete battle royale?
Who did the MSM/DNC give the questions to in advance?
I believe the first on is on the 27th, in the evening.
Hopefully it is late in the evening. I doesn’t sound very family friendly - neither their topics nor my swearing.
DB, quit calling them “debates”.
A debate argues a question, these are nothing at all
like that but are just free air time for candidates.
“Bernie Sanders – The Commie proposes to just make all outstanding student loans vanish into thin air, and says he’ll pay for it with an unspecific “tax on Wall Street.””
I think he will set up a kettle on the corners, with homeless persons ringing bells. (like the Salvation Army)
First debate is Wed. June 26.
Here’s the schedule of speakers each night:

Swallowwell and Buttboy are going to be on together. Are they going to do a joint presentation?
Instead of a debate they should have an auction to see who bids the highest for votes
That’s the whole purpose, isn’t it? Run and get filthy rich.
“Machete battle royale.” I like it. Machetes are slashing weapons, not stabbing weapons, causing the killing to take longer and be more photogenic, the perfect thing for DemonShits to do to each other in public.
venezuela-bait
My problem with watching the event is it has all the attraction of allowing a 6” hose full of raw sewage to be pumped into my living room.
True but look past the hoses at the clowns. The Dems finest??? They make me laugh. Their constituents cause me to carry a gun.
Dem constituents cause me to carry in all places where it’s not against the law.
Where carrying is against the law is a equine1952 free zone. Live safe, die free.
It’s going to be a softball hate fest on the usual suspects.
