When past presidents have seen their approval numbers take a dive, they went on foreign trips. Sometimes this works, but more often it doesn't, because failure at home often follows them abroad. World leaders can sense failure and its twin, weakness.
Vice resident Kamala Harris, whose poll numbers and favorability among the public and even her fellow Democrats have sunk faster than a rock thrown in the River Seine, left for Paris this week where she is attending a five-day meeting "to focus on the plight of migrants and refugees."
That's a laugh, because she has done such a terrible job focusing on stopping the flow of migrants into the United States across what used to be called our southern border. It was the first assignment given to her by resident Biden and she has literally done nothing about it, leading even a casual observer to conclude neither she, nor the president, are interested in stemming the flow. That may be because resident Biden - and former President Barack 0bama - have repeatedly said they want to "fundamentally transform America."
A USAToday/Suffolk survey conducted among 1,000 registered voters from Nov. 3 to Nov. 5, found Biden has an approval rating of 38 percent and Harris has an even worse 28 percent approval rating. The poll, as reported by SFGATE.com, found that "Harris is more unpopular than both congressional Democrats (29 percent approval) and congressional Republicans (35 percent approval), which is pretty hard to do as members of Congress often receive low marks in public opinion polls (overall congressional approval is at 12 percent)." SFGATE topped the story with this devastating headline: "Kamala Harris has a comically bad approval rating."
Comically? Will she now be a target of late-night comedians and "Saturday Night Live" skits? In the event she is, the treatment will likely be gentler than the mean-spiritedness directed at Sarah Palin.
A Google search of "Kamala Harris successes" turns up thin gruel. Most of her "accomplishments" have little to do with actual policy achievements and more to do with supposed achievements related to her race and gender. In her brief time in the Senate, Harris took what has turned out to be the wrong side in the false Russian "collusion" allegations against then-President Trump. She also treated Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh like an already convicted criminal. She sought less to discover information than to impose a pre-determined personal conclusion that he was unfit for the bench.
The White House and some congressional leaders are trying to spin these latest polls to their advantage, but that strategy is unlikely to succeed. Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), attempted to explain and dismiss Biden's declining approval and rising disapproval numbers. Appearing on Fox News, the House Majority Whip said, it's a "real tough time" to be president. Anytime is a tough time to be president, but some presidents have been more up to it than others. It is becoming increasingly clear that Biden and Harris are not up to their jobs.
The French have some delightful ways of putting things, and in their language some phrases might accurately describe Kamala Harris. The kinder one is "Tu ne sais pas de quoi tu parles," which means you don't know what you are talking about. The other is considered vulgar and French slang: "Con comme balai," which means as stupid as a broomstick. Draw your own conclusions from what Harris has done, or more importantly, not done.
Well she has been to Europe now
As Jimmy Buffet sang, our “Jamaica mistaka”
Can they keep her?
Kamala seems to become less popular, the more people see of her.
This puts the Democrats in a quandary, for the future.
I’m sure some have thought, that she would be the nominee in 2024, if Joe doesn’t run for re-election. But with such low popularity, she could lead the Democrats to a McGovern style defeat, if she’s the nominee.
If Joe doesn’t serve out his full term, for whatever reason, then she would be the incumbent president in 2024, and thus very difficult to dislodge from running and leading them to defeat as the incumbent.
I wonder if there’s any 2nd thoughts among Democrat powers that be, to have forced Kamala on us.
Lucky for us she did her Berlitz language lessons (or did she simply watch Peter Sellers?) prior to her journey. Sounds like Sellers is the winner.
Let’s hope she isn’t desecrating the D Day Cemetery in Normandy today.
Can we call her the “vile precedent” going forward?
I think they wanted somebody so weak that there would be little impetus to push SlowJoe out before Jan 2025.
If Kamala runs in the primaries, she’ll lose. I predict the 2024 Dem nominee is Booty-Gig.
She took Steve Martin’s advice: “We woood liek to gooo to ze otel!”
😊🙌
Her only talent is for testing mattresses and knee pads.
I'm going to guess "putain" was used more than once.
“I wonder if there’s any 2nd thoughts among Democrat powers that be, to have forced Kamala on us.”
My guess is no. I think it’s all going according to plan. They picked the most obnoxious person available to them for the vp pick, and that’s a very deep bench. I think they guessed her gender and melanin content would help dementia Joe in the election. The kicker is, Harris is so unlikable, and so incompetent that no one dares push for the 25th amendment to be exercised. With poopy pants as resident, the radical left is having their way. They know they’re going to get pasted in 2022, and they don’t care. Just as they got hammered for Obamacare, the left is willing to absorb collateral damage for the agenda.
The way the Dems handle primaries, it will be trivial to dump Harris and try to select someone electable in 2024.
We shall have to forgive Kamela’s Outrageous Accent.
After all, her mother was a hamster and her father smelled of elderberries.
“Her only talent is for testing mattresses and knee pads.”
That surely seems to have short-circuited her social development. After coasting through on affirmative action and such, she seems to have a talent for latching onto powers-that-be and riding in their wake. Now she doesn’t seem to have any ability to relate to others who can’t immediately benefit her. She is good at condescension, at disdain, at laughing but she seems to be utterly incapable of empathy or reading social clues. She’s like the rich kid who is suddenly thrust into a situation not controlled by money and she doesn’t know how to cope.
Whats scary about this woman is she either doesn’t care or is completely oblivious to how she comes across to people.
You cannot shame this woman at all.
What’s “American” about her?
“With poopy pants as resident, the radical left is having their way. They know they’re going to get pasted in 2022, and they don’t care.”
The Dems know now, anything they pass, no matter how bad, will not be repealed by the crapweasel Republicans.
