Democrats Scream In Fury After Spotting Child That Made It Out Of The Womb Alive

 

HOUSTON, TX — Democrats outside of the Kamala Harris rally began screaming in blind rage after spotting a child who somehow managed to make it out of the womb alive.

"Boo!  Die!  Die!" cried the Democrats, appalled by the sight of a little child in a stroller.  "How did this little parasite escape the forceps and skull crusher?  Hiss!!"

According to eyewitnesses, the young child was sitting in her stroller quietly, prompting the Democrats present to begin foaming at the mouth.  [...]

The Democrats may have a problem with all their vitriol.

Love the Hitchhikers Guide reference!  I recently re-read the first four books while on my trip to China.  You are spot on of course, heck she could not get through a friendly 60 minutes interview without needing heavy editing, no way she survives Rogan.

 

I have a connection with Douglas, amazing he has been dead for 23 years, before I moved to the US.

 

Anyway the Guide was originally produced as a BBC Radio Play, I still think this is the best version.

I have the "More Than Complete Hitchhikers Guide" that has the first four books in the utterly confusingly labeled trilogy series, and Mr. Adams goes through a pretty detailed and humorous Forward about how the Guide came about.  Of course he added a 5th book at some point "Mostly Harmless" which I need to re-read since I recently re-read the first four.  I also saw the Dr. Who lost series Sharda where he introduced at least one of the characters he used in his Dirk Gently series, Professor Chronotis.

I thought Biden said it was time to lower the temperature regarding the vile rhetoric.  Seems Harris has escalated it quite a bit.  Are they trying to get Trump killed?

that is probably part of the election plan:  if you can't win legally or cheat, then get the competition taken out....

That is an interesting hypothetical.  So Trump and Vance get taken out, what is the remedy for the election results?

don't need both - just trump.  then the dems can claim vance won 0 primaries too.

But the ultimate goal of the Democrats is Kamala in office.  Vance could still easily beat her as he is far superior to her.  If the GOP lost both candidates, there is no remedy.  They can't retroactively nominate someone else this close to the election and assign Trump votes to the new pair.

Fascinating article confronting a real issue.  What do you think about the author's 3 ideas?

What if Harris Gets Away with It?

 

[...] As of October 23, only 27% of the American people believe the country is on the right track.

 

This is historically low.  Never has an incumbent vice president won an election for president with these numbers.  That 27% is obviously the Democratic base: hard-core progressives, Communists, abortionists, and transgenderists.  Only they could believe the country is on the right track.  Simple math would suggest that even much of the traditional Democratic base believes the country is not going in ways that are conducive to the happiness and welfare of the American people.

Yes, but we are told that Donald Trump is a racist, sexist beast virtually indistinguishable from Adolf Hitler.  How can this man win?

Here let me make two points.  First: this caricature, however effective it may have been in 2016 and 2020, has lost its effectiveness in 2024.  The first Trump Administration was not an exercise in the exploitation of blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities.  It ushered in economic good times for these groups, who enjoyed greater prosperity and freedom than at any other time in the history of the United States.  Their lived experience demonstrated to them that President Trump saw them not as a problem, but rather as an integral part of American society and economic life.  Charges of racism, ridiculous on their face, have grown meaningless to everyday Americans.

Then there is the matter of Kamala Harris.  [...]
