Top O' the Briefing Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is participating in an Ayahuasca cheese-rolling "Weekend of Discovery" somewhere in Great Britain.
In yesterday's Briefing we took a broad look at the current moribund state of the once-formidable Democratic Party. The contributing factors that have brought the Democrats to this point are many, but one really stands out — the mind-numbing mediocrity of its major players.
We've often discussed the fact that the Democrats are out of ideas and have nothing to offer the disaffected voters who they've been pushing away for over four years. They're in desperate need of some big, bold policy pitches to give the American people, and they're not going to get any from the party's current crop of "stars." True, there are limitations placed on them by their own political philosophy, but they still need someone to put lipstick on their socialist pig in order to win elections.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been getting all of the wrong kinds of press since fire destroyed Pacific Palisades and other areas of her city. We've seen public officials not handle crises well before, but Bass is going to need her own wing in the Mega FAIL Hall of Shame. Bass is the mayor of the second-largest city in the country and has performed as if she couldn't be trusted to keep a fake houseplant alive.
After fleeing the country on a vanity trip despite being warned about the fires, Bass was the epitome of a "deer in headlights" upon her return to whatever she does that passes for work. Here's a reminder from a post that Kevin wrote back in January:

If you staged the past twenty-odd public statements of Bass...they all end up making her appear as witty/clever...as a 9-year-old kid. I can’t see how you’d get half-a-million residents fired-up to vote for her.
Karen Bass is DEI gone terribly wrong. To the point of being deadly.
Half of the United States citizens are below the score for average intelligence. And they all live in Los Angeles.
It could only GO wrong because it started out wrong! 😏
“as witty/clever...as a 9-year-old kid”
As witty/clever as a 9-year-old kid coming out of anesthesia.
Behind every man is a strong woman...
Except for Kamala; she was in front mostly.
Let’s see....if Karen tries to promote Gavin & neither appeals to most folks, then what’s the point of listening to either one? If they are advertising for California, then it appears to be doomed.
