If 'Kamala Harris' Is The Answer, You're Surely Asking The Wrong Question...

Yikes, Mehdi! 

I was an outspoken critic of her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, earning the ire both of her then spokesperson and also the notorious “KHive” of terminally online Harris fans. Nor did I shed any tears when her campaign turned out to be a disaster and she ended up withdrawing from the race before a single vote had been cast in the primaries. So it is with some surprise, reluctance and even trepidation that I am now writing these words: Joe Biden should stand aside and endorse Kamala Harris as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.

So what changed your mind? 

First, some facts about Joe Biden. The president was trailing Donald Trump in the polls before last week’s debate – and he is still trailing Donald Trump after the debate. The president was old before the debate – and he is even older after the debate. He, of course, continues to get older with every passing day. On Sunday, a CBS News poll found a whopping 72% of voters say Biden does not have the “mental and cognitive health” to serve as president. Almost half of Democrats say they want the Democratic presidential nominee to step aside. So I won’t waste time making the case for why Biden shouldn’t be running for re-election.

You don't really need to, he's making it all on his own!  

You might not want to believe it, and lazy pundits may say otherwise, but the polling is pretty clear these days: Harris actually has a better chance than Biden of beating Trump.

There's the triumph of hope over expectation! 

Just One Little Question, Then, Joe...

...which countries are you talking about? 

I mean, do you even know?

And why is Musk suddenly the bête noire of the Establishment, I wonder..?

"The Buck Stops...With The Last Guy."

Harry S. Truman​ must be rolling in his grave...

Biden, 78, looked lost for words after being asked if he bore responsibility for an ISIS-K suicide attack at Kabul Airport on Thursday that killed 13 US service personnel, before bowing his head and clutching a file tightly around his hands.

He did so moments after raising eyebrows by revealing he had been given a list of pre-approved journalists to call on, saying: 'Ladies and gentlemen, they gave me a list here. The first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O'Donnell from NBC.'

There's always a list. Every American and Brit who watched 'The West Wing' knew that. Only DementiaJoe is dumb enough to say it! 

Doocy was the last journalist called, with Biden left tongue-tied after he tried to throw a question back at Doocy about why Fox News was neglecting to mention that Donald Trump had confirmed the withdrawal when he was president.

But Doocy continued to push, with Biden visibly struggling after being pressed to take the blame for Thursday's atrocity.

If only the journalists now pushing had done their job before the election, not after, eh? 

Orange Man Not So Bad Now..?

President Joe Biden angrily defended his handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying on Wednesday that chaos was unavoidable and snapping when asked about horrific images of Afghans falling from planes.

'That was four days ago, five days ago,' he said, even though the images of people falling to their deaths emerged on Monday.

Can you imagine what the reaction would have been if instead of Dementia Joe in the White House it had been Trump?

I wonder what the 'Guardian' coverage of this car crash interview looks like?

Oh...

OK, how about the 'Independent'?

Well, I suppose at least it got a mention there...

The president also sought to scotch rumors that the US is planning to withdraw all troops aiding its rescue mission in just days, amid reports the UK is concerned about a sudden departure after being kept in the dark by its closest ally.

Biden said: 'If there's American citizens left, we're going to stay to get them all out.

'So Americans should understand that troops might have to be there beyond Aug. 31?' Stephanopoulos then asked.

'No,' Biden answered. 'Americans should understand that we're going to try to get it done before Aug. 31.'

But he then said, 'If we don't, we'll determine at the time who's left.'

So Dementia Joe can write to their grieving families, I presume. Good god, even the staunchest Trump hater must be having a teinge of conscience right now, surely?
