(VIDEO AT LINK) On some days, I am almost convinced that whoever or whatever runs the world picked Kamala Harris simply because they could. There is no rational explanation that would coherently explain how such a sleazy moron captured the vice presidency.

However, I am also reminded each day that I am surrounded by...

There are gaffes and there are gaffes. Then there's dementia. Joe Biden has always been gaffe prone but at some point, people have to come to grips with the fact that Joe Biden is suffering from real dementia. We got three Biden boners a couple of days ago.

Historians and polling companies love to provide their assessments of past presidents, and to a lesser extent vice presidents. While it is still early in her tenure – so there’s a chance she’ll make a comeback – let’s just say those future assessments of Vice President Kamala Harris’s job performance will likely not be kind.
