That is velly interesting,

Karamela is going to screw up drawing into a straight flush and pick Shapiro.

Wow she stuck her turkey neck up awful damn quick.

That's why Pitt left her! He wanted kids he could yell at, not her cats. Justin Theroux, same damn thing. She's an overpreening, overacting, unavailable Daddy's Girl with fantastic ( )( ).

They are going to pick Shapiro, but make him change his last name. Shapeshifter? Shappestro? Shapmann? Shapdawondice? Shap Al-Hakeem? Shapbama?

He does it to f-ck over his son Joseph Kristol, who was a rising conservative star who worked for Tom Cotton, but now has had to take a job with Kristol's buddy Paul Singer's Elliott Investment Management L.P.

THAT IS A FACT, JACK. BILL SINGLE-HANDEDLY DROVE HIS SON OUT OF MAGA.

"Democrats must be so absolutely thrilled that they got rid of that old guy off the ticket and that he finally was persuaded… It’s some thing self sacrificing I would never see Trump do to be honest… But to be sure now they’re going to move into the young versus old dynamic and it’s gonna be very hard to beat that back, particularly with millions of young Americans in their 20s and 30s and maybe even 40s and majorities, almost now the majority these days."

A mattress-back ho who has never won a primary vs a President. Fakkuyū.

HUMILIATED! THE QUITTER WAS HUMILIATED!

Go curl up in a corner now and cry, Bidendropov.

(whisper whisper) “The lies of America lies in your hands.”

SCHADENFREUDE!

“Endowed by our Creator by animal rights...” [swallow...stare]

How does a guy without a college degree, become Lt. Gov. of GA?

How does a guy win not one but TWO elections by less than half a percent, and keeps going on the MSM to dismiss anyone complaining about voter fraud. And he outright admitted he and Kemp slow-rolled Walker?

What an asshole. What a puckered-up, self-sustaining asshole.

GA Lt. Gov. Geoff L. Duncan

• Ga Tech - NO DEGREE, left as a junior
• Florida Marlins- left Ga Tech to play baseball as AA and AAA pitcher in the Marlins hapless organization. 6 years in the wilderness and never made The Big Show. Shoulder injury lol
• 2 small businesses - sold MLM company, and then CEO of healthcare startup Wellview Health
• 2012 - State Rep GA26 barely won by 55 votes over Tom Knox, and barely cleared the 50% threshold by 0.3%
• 2014 - State Rep GA 26
• 2016 - State Rep GA26 unopposed
• 2017 - resigned to run for Lt. Gov.
• 2018 - barely won the GOP runoff election over Senate president David Schafer by 1,750 votes (0.4%). Schafer had just missed the 50% threshold by 1.1%, while Duncan was second with 26.7.%
• 2018 - barely won the general election over some dum Dem broad (2.2%)
• 2021-present - Occupation : Full-time shoe-sniffing toe-tapping RINO weasel.

Look at that resting bitch face! Man her ratioing on Twotter today has been superb.

"My sources in DC say that Biden will resign tomorrow during his speech. Pure rumor and speculation, but it would make sense given the events of the past week."

Speech is tonight, MongerOfDumbUnsourcedRumors. Keep up.

Bonchie is so Red State it hurts. Take MSM shibboleths like "Oh, money bamb! Oh, debates!" and ignore the fact that OBFs (Old Black Females) regard Karamela as a dirty ho. "Like, a ho-that-don't-wash kind of dirty ho. And her white man be on the down low."

Most of the pearl-clutching an@l-puckering Freeptarding in this thread was funny too, over a woman who has never won a primary, versus a President.

This show is great. Trump is loose, engaging, having fun, and playing some really great golf.

"He is really on his way out"

Yeah but that's not really the issue. Dr. Jekill has caused all this and now ... Schadenfreude!

The issue is, Bidendropov is so gutted that he can't be 'composed' enough to address the nation for so much as five minutes; and said address could be so horrible as to (A) reveal the extent of Kamaramela's primary conspirator role in covering up Biden's moribund state, and (B) then force a 25A removal of Biden that Karamela would have to agree to, and completely piss off the white over-70 Mediscare old motards that carry states like MI and WI for the Donks.

Biden won't say a word until they work out this $FEC conundrum, at a minimum.

Meanwhile just one hair-trigger event globally will bring the house of cards down on Cackles -- she has no access as VP, no grip, and Jake the Snake Sullivan and Tony Blinkenandyoumissedit are nowhere to be found.

"Hamas must be making a fortune selling all this to the Palestinians."

The rice maybe. The sardines are going to end up being sold to Arab vendors in Israel. Ironic.

Oh whoops, coronation news cycle OVER.

Kamala Harris Is a Bad Candidate and a Bad Policy Maker, July 21, 2024

"President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race amid concern from fellow Democrats that he stood no chance of beating Donald Trump this go-round. "I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down," Biden posted to X, before shortly after throwing his "full support and endorsement" behind Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the party's new nominee.

"Democrats — it's time to come together and beat Trump," Biden added. "Let's do this."

But can Harris "do this"?

It's hard to conclude that Harris would fare worse than Biden, whose cognitive difficulties were so apparent his own party came to view him as a serious electoral liability.

Yet if one recalls Harris' own ill-fated run at the Democratic nomination in 2020, and her time in politics before then, the math in this equation becomes somewhat fuzzier—Harris was a truly bad candidate. And prior to that, she perpetuated some truly bad policies.

Kamala Harris the horrible campaigner and Kamala Harris the cop can be easy to forget if you're only considering what Harris has done lately. Her tenure as vice president has been almost entirely unremarkable. The most distinguishing feature has been a series of bizarre but benign word salads. And political memory is short.

The first thing you'll see is Harris' shambolic 2020 campaign for president. She wouldn't commit to policy positions. She couldn't defend her past actions. There were ongoing stories about her poor treatment of her staff. She entered the race as a top-tier candidate, with glowing press and some big-time backers, and dropped out two months before the Iowa caucuses, polling at just 3 percent nationally. She wasn't even polling as a top-tier candidate in her home state of California.

It left a long-term impression of her as rudderless and ruthless—a phony. It will be incredibly easy for Republicans to portray her as someone who stands for nothing, or as whatever it is they think you'll hate most, like a representative of "California socialism."

I won't pretend to know whether Harris would be a better or worse choice for Democrats than some other potential candidates. I don't know whether she could beat Trump, though I have my doubts.

What I do know is that if Harris becomes the party's nominee, the rush to anoint her a saint—in the press, on social media, among celebrities—is going to kick into overdrive quickly, both because of her identity and out of desperation to avoid Trump getting elected again.

But as much as I want to see a female president sooner rather than later, and as much as I do not want to see another Trump presidency, I can't pretend Harris doesn't have serious and worrying flaws.

These tendencies include a penchant for saying one thing during campaigns and then doing the opposite; of using the state to crack down on problems—like truancy and drug use—that many would agree could be better solved through nonpunitive approaches; and of using moral panics around sex in self-serving ways (even while publicly ignoring sexual misconduct among California cops). They include acting cavalierly toward the Constitution, defending dirty prosecutors, and finding new ways for the government to poke into people's lives."

"Vicious and dumb, it’s a bad combination"

EXACTLY.

And when this second-rate coronation jibber-jabbah wears off in another news cycle, people who would profit in 2028 from a yuge Karamela loss will start reviving these tell-alls.

See that's the thing - no one wanted to rat Biden because he was being propped up by Democrats Who Destroy Careers. Karamela has NONE of that cover: not before last weekend and not now.

A former Kamala Harris staffer says aides have to endure 'a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism'

"A person who worked for Kamala Harris before she assumed the vice presidency told The Washington Post over the weekend that aides in her office had to endure a "constant amount of soul-destroying criticism."

With last week's announcement [Dec. 2021] that Symone Sanders, Harris' chief spokesperson, would soon depart, and with the expected exits of Peter Velz, the director of press operations, and Vince Evans, the deputy director of the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, the turnover in the vice president's office has some Democrats concerned about her potential as a presidential nominee.

What was originally inside-the-Beltway chatter about Harris' office has spilled into view, threatening to chip away at Democratic morale when the vice president is faced with tackling some of the Biden administration's most challenging issues, including immigration and voting rights.

Several former staffers told The Post of concerns they found while working for Harris years ago. Harris' office did not respond to Insider's request for comment.

Some said Harris would refuse to analyze briefing materials set forth by employees but then scold them if she appeared unprepared.

"It's clear that you're not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work," one former staffer told the newspaper. "With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you're constantly sort of propping up a bully and it's not really clear why."
