Kamala truly is an embarrassment. She makes Sonia Sotomayor, the dumbest SCOTUS seem like Oliver Wendell Holmes. If she is installed, America will truly reach the level of President Camacho in Idiocracy. FJB

If Joe drops, he takes all of his campaign funds with him. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Kamala gets the money. A new candidate would be starting fund raising from scratch. I think they'll keep Joe and the money and give Kamala an offer she can't refuse.

Expand full comment

Since the Biden Harris ticket is what gathered the money, my understanding is Harris is entitled to it if Joe leaves. But remember, many big donors promise the contribution on a certain time frame. So Biden on has a promise on those, not the actual funds. Not sure if those can be retracted.

07/02/24: If everything else hasn't gotten us to the Total Saturation Point of Insanity, we can go over the top and win the Championship of Crazy with this one:

"The Republicans remain the captives of the personality cult—the “MAGA movement”—that has formed around Trump, just as the Democrats were the captives of the personality cult and populist movement that formed around William Jennings Bryan" [1896-1908].

"They therefore run a considerable risk of losing this election, which they ought to be comfortably winning on the big issues of inflation and immigration, because their candidate is too off-putting to too many of the crucial voters."

--- Niall Ferguson, The Free Press 07/02/24.

1) He's comparing someone who ran three times for the presidency and failed each time, to someone who ran for the presidency and won on his first go-round.

Ferguson's "Logic": The existence of the ancient, previous multiple-failures justifies the fear that the proven successful will fail.

2) "Well! 'Off-putting'! We can't have that! Clutch pearls! Pull ripcord!"

Solution: Send Trump up to Camp David for seven days and have him rehearse all sorts of phony personas that will make him more likeable (surround him with Nobel Prizes winners in Chemistry, if necessary).

I suspect that the prime architect behind Joe Biden's blockbuster debate victory on June 27, 2024 was none other than Niall Ferguson.

White House aids, cabinet members, Congress critters and the media are shocked, SHOCKED at Biden's deteriorated mental state. They thought nothing of his days with "lids" by mid morning, half his time vacationing in Delaware, scripted but rare press conferences with pre-approved questions and answers including the reporter's picture. Even the White House janitor had to notice how little trash there was to empty from the Oval.

Probably the only way to get close to a fair election is to destroy every Dominion machine in the country. They're still being used (Puerto Rico, anyone?) and still screwing up every vote count.

Like they say in the USMC, burn one bridge at a time.

Focus on what we can control now and hopefully it will be enough ( like it is appearing to be in France, although I know their elections are more secure than ours) but we must do what we can, hope it’s enough and if it is, then Trump must do an E.O. ( or better yet get Congress to actually LEGISLATE) to make it illegal for computers to be used in elections, AND REQUIRE VOTER I.D. Which reportedly 90% of Americans WANT.

I understand that each state would have to change its voting regulations for that. Is that correct?

I find it such a joke that the MSM calls Marine Le Pen's party, le Rassemblement National, the "far right" or in French "l'extreme droite." Media totally missing the populism angle.

What "too big to rig" means to me is that if the U.S. has 150 million registered voters (I'm just making up a round number) and if Trump gets 85M votes, Biden then cannot claim to get 86M votes.

Obama said on the Stephen Colbert Show in November 2020,

OBAMA: I said this before. People would ask me, "Knowing what you know now, do you wish you had a third term?" And I used to say, "You know what? If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and then I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I'd be fine with that. Because I found the work fascinating. I mean, I write about the... even on my worst days, I found puzzling out, you know, these big, complicated, difficult issues, especially if you were working with some great people, to be professionally really satisfying. But I do not miss having to wear a tie every day.“

Yeah, when you live and work in a closeted community of liberals all your life, you believe that is the norm.

Those two had never seen a farm and farm animals. I was from out west and they would kid me about what they perceived as a still wild west. Not exaggerating at all.

They don’t want someone in there running the show - THEY, the powers who’ve been running it for the past 4 years, want to continue doing so.

She’s the perfect replacement for the current Resident, who just does what he’s told, and doesn’t get in the way.

They’ll imprison Trump to get him off the playing field, drag the Husk over the finish line, steal the election again, then get him out one or the other, and insert her. Game, set, match.
