You bought no proper to take my pleasure, I would like it again.
Pleasure by Lucinda Williams
Posing as vaudeville comedians, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz wrapped up the Democratic conference final week. Harris waved her arms like a seance conjurer, and Walz strutted and gesticulated across the DNC stage like a recreation present host.
What was the conference’s theme? Not the financial system, not crime, not the nation’s border. No, the theme was pleasure.
New York Occasions columnist Patrick Healy noticed that pleasure will not be a method for profitable an election, however Healy could also be incorrect. Harris is forward of Donald Trump within the polls, despite the fact that she hasn’t granted an interview with an actual journalist since changing into the Dems’ presidential candidate.
Harris is dodging the press as a result of she’s afraid a reporter would possibly ask an inconvenient query, which is that this: What the fuck are we doing in Ukraine? Such a query would possibly dampen the enjoyment that at the moment infuses Harris’s frenzied supporters.
People whose minds have been turned to Jello by the New York Occasions, WaPo, and CNN are enthralled by Harris’s clownish conduct, however the Russians aren’t feeling the enjoyment. They’ve suffered over a half million casualties inflicted by NATO weapons, together with American cluster bombs, Abrams tanks, uranium-depleted artillery shells, and Bradley combating autos.
If Harris wins the November election, she is going to discover that pleasure would not journey nicely.
I doubt Harris’s cackle will appeal Vladimir Putin into surrendering Crimea. |
