HOT MIC:  Kamala Zoom Hurricane Meeting Goes South When She Gets Caught Asking for Help From Aide

 

[...] something happened that was just hilarious and showed just how out of it she is.  She apparently didn't realize the meeting was live and that people could hear her whispering to the aide.  So listen as she has her hands over her face and tries to whisper.  "Can I talk back?" she has to ask the aide.  The aide says something to her to which she responds, "Oh."  Then she asks a question.  Did the aide just feed her a question?  Oh, my.  [...]

Bitter Joe is undercutting Kamala

At his last presidential debate, President Trump amused millions by letting the cat out of the bag about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris:

 

"I'll give you a little secret.  He hates her.  He can't stand her."

Which is what we appear to be seeing now.

 

Nine weeks have passed since Biden was unceremoniously ousted from the Democrat presidential ticket, and in one incident after another, he's subtly and not-so-subtly undercutting her.  He's contradicting her.  He's upstaging her.  He's making her look stupid.

Some recent examples:  [...]

From Unqualified to Disqualified

 

Let me start by stating the obvious:  Kamala Harris is an awful vice president and an even worse candidate.  She would make a lousy president; another four years of Kamala would be the terminal end-stage demise of America.  Our precious constitutional republic would be put into hospice care until it wastes away for good.  Of course, that’s her ultimate goal.  What did you think "overthrow the patriarchy was"?  Vibes?  Papers?

By 2028, this country would be a vassal state of serfs and foreign invaders digitally overseen by domineering and merciless elites who monitor everything we do and say as they extract the last few pennies from under the couch cushions before they usher in permanent one-party rule.

Trust me, I'm not looking forward to this.  [...]

An easy interview and a hard one:  An unprepared Harris botched them both

 

Vice President Kamala Harris has been on a media tour in the last 48 hours.  Like earlier media appearances, the new set of interviews has been with questioners who mostly ranged from friendly to super friendly, including The View, Howard Stern, Stephen Colbert, and the popular podcast Call Her Daddy.  (There was one notable exception, which will be discussed later.)  During this media tour, Harris has proven that she can make a mess of even the friendliest of interviews and that she can make a mess of more difficult interviews too.  And she did both in a way that could have lasting repercussions for her campaign.  [...]

Trump Announces New Tax Proposal, and It's Pretty Awesome

 

On Thursday during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, Donald Trump announced his intention to make interest on car loans fully tax-deductible if he's elected.

 

"Today, I am announcing that as part of our tax cuts, we will make interest on car loans fully deductible," he said.

In a classic Trump fashion, he connected with the auto industry professionals in the room, noting that the idea even impressed industry veterans.  "I met a lot of them backstage," Trump recounted.

According to Trump, one longtime auto industry professional told him, "I've been in the car industry all my life.  I've never thought about that."  The former president compared the proposal to a breakthrough like the invention of the paper clip, adding, "Somebody comes up with the paper clip, and everybody says, 'Why the hell didn't I think of that?'"

Trump emphasized that making car loan interest fully deductible would dramatically lower the cost of car ownership, especially for working families.  "This will stimulate massive domestic auto production and make car ownership dramatically more affordable for millions and millions of working American families," he explained.

The idea behind this tax cut is simple but impactful.  By making interest payments on car loans deductible, Trump aims to give a financial break to Americans while encouraging more car sales and stimulating the auto industry.  Since the auto sector is such a vital part of the economy, particularly in places like Michigan, this policy could be a game-changer for both consumers and manufacturers.  [...]

The downside to THAT bombshell is that the Democrats would likely end up with a more competent candidate (because surely even the DNC is not stupid enough to default to Bumbleface 🤪) and therefore win the Presidential election with ease.

Seems Ms. Strassel is thinking along the same lines.  It appears the Democrats are trying to pivot now and try to save the Senate, not sure that is going to work either.

 

Empress Kamala’s New Clothes

 

This week’s political headlines were eerily similar in feel to those of early July, following that momentous Joe Biden-Donald Trump debate. It’s the feel of a Democratic Party realizing (again) that the looms really were without thread, that their nominee—exposed to the nation—is looking a bit bare.

 

“Democrats start to hit the panic button.” “Kamala Harris Is Making the Same Mistakes She Made in 2019.” “Democrats grow anxious.” Ms. Harris “struggling to break through with working class” and “struggles to differentiate herself from Biden” and “struggles to answer questions” and generally . . . struggles. “Kamala Harris Could Be in Trouble.”

 

Pray tell, how? Weeks ago, Ms. Harris was the standard-bearer of “joy,” “freedom” and “opportunity,” the “juggernaut” who exudes “quiet prowess” and “humiliates” her opponent and delivers a “debate knockout” and runs a “brilliant campaign” and “dominates” among voters. The “Gen Z Meme Queen” whose party had woefully “underestimated” her “raw talent.”

 

These superlatives came from the same partisan press corps that insisted Mr. Biden was fine—until it couldn’t. The same media that before the Biden debate warned against Ms. Harris’s enormous liabilities—until it got stuck with her. The same press corps that is now discovering that even unrelenting hagiography can’t make up for those Harris weaknesses.

 

Her problem—like Mr. Biden’s—comes from finally being seen. She outperformed Mr. Trump in their debate a month ago, though she did it by saying nothing of consequence. She’s since embarked on a “media blitz,” and in doing so confirmed the wisdom of all those advisers who fought never to let that happen. Recent weeks have shown a candidate whose answer to every question is canned, memorized, substance-free. Twice this week alone she flubbed softballs designed to let her discreetly break with the unpopular current president. “The View”: “Would you have done something differently than President Biden?” Ms. Harris: “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”

Trump's Toughest Foe Could Be Harris Lawyer Marc Elias

 

If Donald Trump gets past Kamala Harris on Nov. 5, he'll likely face a fiercer opponent in court – her campaign attorney, Marc Elias.

The longtime Democratic Party lawyer has already filed more than 60 preelection lawsuits to stop Trump from becoming president again by combatting what he calls Republican "voter suppression" efforts such as requiring voters to provide identification at the polls.  Echoing a standard Democratic talking point, Elias maintains that such requirements are "racist" strategies designed to make it harder for minorities to vote.

At the same time, Elias has been sending letters to election officials in Georgia and other key swing states threatening legal action if they uphold challenges to voter rolls to remove noncitizens and other ineligible registrants.  Some Georgia officials complain that his intimidation tactics are interfering with county registrars' ability to check the qualifications of voters.

If Trump is declared the winner, the hard-charging attorney threatens to overturn his election by deploying an army of more than 75 lawyers to sue for ballot recounts in several swing states.  Trump, in turn, has threatened to lock Elias up for election interference, as ABC News moderator David Muir pointed out in last month's presidential debate between Trump and Kamala Harris.  [...]

'Now Is Not The Time For Independent Thinking,' Obama Tells Black Trump Supporters

 

[...] "I know you feel like your brains are capable of making a wise and rational decision, but you need to take a moment and stop being all uppity," Obama said.  "Y'all need to go into that voting booth like a bunch of good little brothas and mindlessly punch that ballot for anyone with a 'D' next to their name.  That's your only job."

 

"For four hundred years, the black man has been put down and told not to think.  I'm just asking for eight more years of that."  [...]

Experts Say Kamala Can Still Win If She Doesn't Appear In Public Again Between Now And Election Day

 

U.S. — Despite polling momentum swinging towards former President Trump, political pundits believe that Kamala Harris can still win the election if she can just remain completely unseen and unheard until November 6th.

"If they can just lock her in the basement with Joe, she has a shot," said NBC analyst Chuck Todd.  "Kamala's favorability depends on people losing all memory of her voice, face, actions, and anything related to her in any way."  [...]
