The Only Trick in Their Bag

Look, I get it: Biden put Democrats in a bad spot. He could have — and should have — announced in early 2023 that he would not seek a second term, thereby making it possible for Democrats to have a primary to choose their 2024 presidential candidate. Unfortunately for Democrats, while senile dementia diminishes many cognitive functions, it does not diminish egotism, and therefore Joe insisted that at age 81, he was still perfectly capable of enduring the rigors of a reelection campaign.

Biden did the wrong thing (“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up,” as Obama famously said) and the consequences are that now Democrats are stuck with Kamala Harris as the nominee. She has never been popular, doesn’t have a record of accomplishment, and the Biden administration’s policies are unpopular, so the whole basis of the Democratic campaign is demonizing Trump: “ORANGE MAN BAD!”

During a press briefing on Tuesday, Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre, “How many more assassination attempts on Donald Trump until the president and vice president and you pick a different word to describe Trump, other than ‘threat’?”
Jean-Pierre told Doocy she completely disagreed with the premise of his question, calling the way he asked it “incredibly dangerous” because Americans are watching.

If it is your misfortune to reside in one of the “battleground” states — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, etc. — you can’t turn on your TV without being bombarded by Democratic ads portraying Trump as a menace. Meanwhile, the news media let Kamala Harris go unquestioned as she blabbers word-salad nonsense, and almost no one in the media mentions the real truth: Kamala is underperforming.

We are now 47 days away from Election Day. Early voting has already started in Pennsylvania. God willing, we only have to put up with this for another seven weeks. Try not to let it drive you crazy.
