Ask Me Help Desk - Kam the Sham on the road

“It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work .With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”

That wasn't from a Fox hit piece or a quote from Tucker Carlson. That was from a former Kam the Sham staffer reported by the Compost .

This could be the lie of the year ....

Kamala Harris Says She and Biden Haven’t Discussed Running for Re-Election in 2024 - WSJ

“I’ll be very honest: I don’t think about it, nor have we talked about it.”

Has to be right up there with Clueless' claims that he never talked about Hunter's business dealings with the Chinese .

This comment by her was hilarious.

Quote:

"I’m not going to talk about our conversations, but I will tell you this without any ambiguity: We do not talk about nor have we talked about reelection, because we haven’t completed our first year and we’re in the middle of a pandemic," Harris told The Wall Street Journal in an interview Wednesday.

First she says she's not going to talk about "our conversations", and then she proceeds to tell us about what they have not talked about.

Kam the sham has figured out why she is unpopular. The NY Slimes reports:

Faced with declining approval ratings, a series of staff departures and a drumbeat of criticism from Republicans and the conservative news media, she has turned to powerful confidantes, including Hillary Clinton, to help plot a path forward.
Ms. Harris has privately told her allies that the news coverage of her would be different if she were any of her 48 predecessors, whom she has described as all white and male. (Charles Curtis, who served as vice president under Hoover, spoke proudly of his Native American ancestry.)

Kamala Harris’s Allies Express Concern: Is She an Afterthought? - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

When asked why she has not gone to the border ,even though she is the so called czar of the illegal immigration problem,she said she had never been to Europe either . Of course she later corrected both by going to the border about a thousand miles from where the problems are ;and she made a junket trip to France.

The administration keeps sending her out into the lion's den knowing she will fail .Even in the friendly confines of the ultra-lib media she flubs . Here is her meltdown when Charlamagne Tha God asked her if the President was Clueless or Joe Manchin.

"Come on, Charlamagne, come on. It's Joe Biden. No, no, no no, no,” “No. No. No. No. It’s Joe Biden, and don’t start talking like a Republican about asking whether or not he’s president. ”And it’s Joe B-, Joe B-, Joe Biden, and I’m vice president, and my name is Kamala Harris” . “And the reality is because we are in office, we do … the things like the child tax credit which is going to reduce Black child poverty by 50 percent.”

This happened after an aide rushed in knowing that Harris would screw up the response .

She get's called out by the lib talking head punditry here.

Two questions. 1. Where will the money come from to do this? Will it be printed or borrowed? 2. Why wouldn't we encourage the formation of two parent families which would do more to solve the problem of black child poverty (not to mention all child poverty) than any government program?

From her Face the Nation interview :

Quote:

MARGARET BRENNAN: What do you see is the biggest national security challenge confronting the U.S.? What is the thing that worries you and keeps you up at night?
VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS: Frankly, one of them is our democracy. And that I can talk about because that's not classified. It really does. I-I- there is I think no question in the minds of people who are foreign policy experts that the year 2021 is not the year 2000. You know, I think there's so much about foreign and domestic policy that, for example, was guided and prioritized based on Sept 11, 2001. And we are embarking on a- a new era where the threats to our nation take many forms, including the threat of autocracies taking over and having outsized influence around the world. And so I go back to our- our point about the need to fight for the integrity of our democracy. In addition, it is obviously about what we need to do in the climate crisis. We just did the meetings around COP and recognizing- you know, some used to laugh and say how can you say that the climate crisis is about national security? Well, of course it is. And I can go through the details of why. But what we must do then in- in the face of any and all threats is recognize that one of our greatest strengths is to strengthen our relationship with our allies and partners around the world. And that has been one of the highest priorities of our administration. It has been to re-enter, for example, the Paris Agreement. It has been to-to do the work of working with our European allies. It is the work of building back the trust that is necessary for us to be a member of- of- of a community of nations that share values and priorities. And I think one of the greatest threats that we saw recently is that when we pull out of the- those relationships, we weaken our standing as a nation and therefore weaken, I believe, our security.

Full transcript: Vice President Kamala Harris on "Face the Nation," December 26, 2021 - CBS News

Not China, Russia, Iran, cyber attacks ,hypersonic weapons .No ,American democracy and climate change are the threats that keep her up at night. What does she mean by calling out American democracy as a threat ? She means Trump .She means laws that would protect the integrity of the vote . As for climate change ;the biggest threat is laws and regulations enacted that purport to combat climate change .

She was given one foreign policy task by Clueless. It was some vague discovery mission to address "root causes " of illegal immigration. She went to Guatemala on a junket and did a quick photo 0p at the border 1,000 miles from where border crossings are the biggest issue.
She can't handle the border crisis but we are to believe she has a clue about other foreign policy challenges ?

She is living up to our expectations. She is a perfect example of a person who was pretty good in some much smaller capacity in government, but has now been put on a stage where she does not belong.

Let's go Brandina

I have to admit, that one made me laugh out loud.

Yet more evidence of the remarkable efficiency of VP Harris in her actions concerning the southern border crisis.

More bad news for Harris/Biden.

Quote:

Harris hit an historic low approval rating of 28%, even lower than Cheney's all-time worst.

This is even with the active support of most of the media.

Bad as we need willing workers we still turn away way too many of them.

The people we have would be willing if we would stop paying them to be unwilling.

Cheap labor has a high price, and I know few wiling to be volunteer slaves anymore. Most benefits have run out, and people are still quitting at a record pace.

How are these people who are quitting managing to support themselves?

I need to see the demographic breakdown . I have no doubt that there is something called the great resignation underway . But ,in some cases like mine this resignation was planned for 30 years . Those of us at retirement age constitute the largest generation in the nation's history . What we have done since 1973 is effectively execute a large percentage of the replacement workforce . We also practiced birth control which further reduced the number of replacement workers . We are going to see how that decision on our part puts a heavy strain on the entitlement ponzi scheme .

Birth control is being practiced more than ever since covid began. In the long run, the baby bust will further shrink the world’s labor force.

I think many have found better jobs or changed what's important in their lives but we've known for decades that our generation Tom would get old. Kind of obvious.

LOL, that may be true of white folks but the people of color population is growing quite rapidly.

Black births have not increased since 1970. Black abortions, on the other hand, have increased considerably, especially relative to live births. I'm sure that brings great joy to the KKK. It should break the hearts of everyone else. Abortions in general, and white abortions in particular, have been plummeting since 1980.

Kam the Sham made the malaise admission yesterday. Took Jimmy C 3 years to make that speech but the Clueless regime has used it in less than a year .

PBS NewsHour on Twitter: "VP Kamala Harris tells @JudyWoodruff that she knows many have reached "a level of malaise" nearly two years into the pandemic. "We want to get back to normal," but we must do the work of "pushing through with solutions ... let's meet the challenges where they are," she said. https://t.co/ebQxVGRL84" / Twitter

If YOU were the VP during a pandemic, what would you say and when?

I would not use the word malaise to describe America ever .

Malaise isn't forever, and as VP you have ideas for a remedy.

From Merriam-Webster:
malaise -- a problem or condition that harms or weakens a group, society, etc.

Quote:

Perhaps something encouraging? "We've been through difficulties before, and we'll come out of this as well. Let's band together and fight our way through!"

Note: The word "fight" was meant to be taken metaphorically.

Fight how? (That's what the vax and mask mandates are all about -- fighting the pandemic.)

The word is toxic when describing the futility of the Administration and the mood the nation is in. Maybe the compliant press will let the Clueless crew skate . But the mood is there and real. Less than a year in most of the nation wants them gone .

Quote:

That's the irony of KH's comment.

The same feelings the country had for the dufus for most of his administration.

Not even close.

A columnist in one of today's Chicago newspapers writes that he wonders "how many [of the sorehead minority] are prepared to drop the remote, clamber out of the recliner, and take up arms whenever Tucker Carlson says it's time. Given the advanced age of the Fox News demographic, I'm confident that the great majority of would-be warriors--like Trump himself--mean to follow the action on TV."

evidently there are plenty of those recliner warriors. Fox News is home to seven of the 10 most watched cable news shows of 2021.MSNBC has 3 of them with Rachel Madcow leading that declining demographic .

The watchers are declining in number because Joy and Rachel now read very fast and boringly off a teleprompter and no longer have guests like they used to. Lawrence is still my MSNBC hero with his conversational delivery and interesting guests.

I don't watch any of the pundits that pretend to be news anchors. Bret Baier's prime time news is the only news show I bother turning on except for local news on occasion. I have tuned into others on occasion like Madcow and Tucker . Their take on the news is predictable and nothing I haven't thought of already . I do listen to the John Batchelor podcast when I have some free time. He has an NPR type interview program that is more entertaining than anything on television.

Commentators, not news anchors.

I read some on the Foxnews website. Don't really watch any of them. When the lib news sites, which is most of them, refused to cover the Hunter Biden hard drive story as what certainly seemed to be a favor to his dad, that finished them for me.

That's precisely your problem and why you're so ill-informed.

Try watching the shows that PROVE what the Republican/Trumpites are up to. They do this by videos and interviews that show the right-wing IN THEIR OWN WORDS exactly what they're doing and saying. It's no mystery.

There's no shame anymore attached to admitting, for example, that the Jan 6 insurrection was not what it seemed. This a few short weeks after these same people condemned Trump for it. Look it up - it's all there for you to watch.

Even Trump's Fox Network couldn't avoid admitting the truth. If you missed Tucker making Ted Cruz grovel and beg for forgiveness, you aren't paying attention.

For you historians out there, it's uncanny to see how the US is following the path of the 1930's fascists. More on that at another time.

more projection

It is the left that undermines democracy
I listened to Clueless;Kam the Sham, and Eric Swalwell (who's lover was a Chinese spy and still he remains a key member of the Madam Mim coalition) shameful over the top rants this week setting up the midterms as the most important election ever because the Repubs are trying to destroy democracy in the country . That was more obvious projection since it is the Dems at least since 2016 that have undermined democracy in the country .

It is most likely before then but I'll start with 2016 ;the year the emperor's Justice Department colluded with the Evita campaign and a Russian asset embedded in the Brookings Institute named Igor Danchenko ,to conduct espionage operations against the Republican candidate Trump. Danchenko authored the Steele dossier lies that was then presented to the FBI .The FBI used the dossier as a tool to con the FISA court to issue surveillance warrants against Trump and his campaign,
This was the equivalent of Watergate without the physical break in.

Trump won anyway which really set their hair on fire. First the Dems did exactly what Trump did . They challenged the electors in Congress.It is part of the process. But when Trump did it he was accused of undermining democracy. Then the balance of Trump's presidency was spent attempting a bloodless coup against him .At the same time the Dems unleashed their shock troops into the streets to riot . But only when a handful of Trump supporters riot is it called an insurrection. Kam the Sham went so far as to raise funds for the rioters that were arrested . The Dems cheered the violent arsonist goons on.

The Dems then used covid as a pretext to install unconstitutional changes to key state's election systems that favored the Dem candidate . Some of these unilateral, lawless changes occurred well after voting had begun.

As an example ,Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar of PA waited until 8:38 p.m. on election night to direct county officials to return erroneous mail in ballots to voters, so they could "cure" and re-submit them.

In key battle ground states Dems suspended the counts long enough so that the red districts could be counted and submitted so they would know exactly how many votes they needed to manufacture to ensure a Clueless victory .A counting room at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena was cleared at 10:30 p.m. so election officials could "retire" for the evening. But after journalists and Repub poll watchers were sent home, surveillance cameras caught poll workers removing boxes from beneath a covered table and placing the hidden ballots into counting machines until 1:00 a.m But the Dems say this was the most honest election ever .
In Detroit GOP watchers were kicked out to be replaced by people wearing BLM shirts . The windows were covered in cardboard so no one could observe the count . But the Dems say this was the most honest election ever .In Georgia and Pennsylvania Repub poll watchers were barred from counting rooms or kept too distant to verify counts and inspect absentee ballot signatures.But the Dems say this was the most honest election ever . In Georgia where a probe into illegal ballot harvesting is underway ,key video evidence that monitored temporary covid related drop boxes has been erased by election officials in Fulton County ;home to Atlanta and other Dem strong holds.Federal law says they have to be retained for 22 months after an election . But the Dems say this was the most honest election ever .

And now the Dems want to scrap a fundamental check and balance in the Senate ,the filibuster so they can ram through unconstitutional election laws that would indeed destroy" what Kam the Sham says is "the right to have our future decided the way the Constitution prescribes it,"

So while the Dems destroy the pillar of democracy ;the vote ,they accuse the Repubs of doing exactly what they are doing ....classic projection.

Exactly! Broadcasting video and the actual words of Trump Republicans is a definition of "balanced". I don't rely on sarcasm - just the truth.

Quote:

You're confused. It's what the FACTS claim it was. Facts based on videos, and the spoken and written word from Trump Republicans. And Trump himself.

Quote:

even you can see that Fox is more balanced

The rare times when Fox is balanced is based on the times the facts are so obvious, even Fox can't deny them. Then there's the law suits against Fox for falsifying the election results, and the lawsuits from former Fox employees.

You can't deny it, tomder. The GOP is gone and has been replaced by the cult of Trump. The Republican politicians prefer their sinecures rather than their country. The leadership is a disgrace. The rank and file Trump voters are primarily Bible-totin' white evangelicals who treat Trump like the Second Coming. Bizarre? You bet!
