Thanks, Kamala!

"Inflation?" What "inflation"?

And just wait until the Fed cuts the interest rate in September. The only question is whether they'll cut it by 25 or 50 basis points! Wooooo Hooooo!

neither clinton nor Biden were my preferred D candidate in ‘16 and ‘20

Same principle. I don’t recall where exactly I was on Joe during 2020 primaries. I think I preferred Klobuchar and Gillibrand.

Gillibrand? After she forced Senator Al Franken to resign?

Bus, not limousine.

Politics aside, this is great news:

Damn! Wages have outpaced inflation for more than a year now.

After the lockdown, Biden should have used his power to go back in time to keep up with consumer demand. I mean, he didn't even try to circle the earth faster and faster.

Joe didn't have the ("old") balls to issue an executive order and suspend the business cycle*. Typical liberal pussy.


* Business cycle: The fluctuating levels of economic activity in an economy over a period of time measured from the beginning of one recession to the beginning of the next. Contraction: A period when real GDP declines; a period of economic decline. Expansion: A period when real GDP increases; a period of economic growth.

I deserve a Crunchwrap. Supreme. But want to deny the consumer activity to Biden. I am yelling at clouds instead.

I dunno if it’s a huge deal to not talk to the press. I also saw talking points like “but lots of other candidates have done the same.”

But at the very least, a candidate not talking to the press does nothing to help the “but I’m the one here to save democracy” sorts of points.

And, maybe I’m reading into it too far, but it might be a sign of uncertainty, even weakness, that Kamala and/or her handlers might be afraid she’s vulnerable to a potential press conference gaffe.

Maybe it's a simple as the fact that she didn't start campaigning until a few weeks ago, has some critical work to do in key battleground states and feels that is her higher priority.

how very occam’s razor…but, some subscribe to the conspiracy that this has been the plan for quite some time, so why wouldn’t she be more prepared?

The “Press” v Kamala

The “Press” has deserved every iota of contempt.

I do think - taking a breath and zooming out a little - one reform that would go a LONG way would be enforceable rules designed to compress the entire campaign process down into a much smaller timeframe.

The list of benefits is long, and includes (1) campaigns being more responsive to how things are actually working on ground, (2) voters not getting fucking BORED, (3) officeholding, potential candidates are restricted from campaigning (and thus focus on their offices) until the designated time, and also (4) some orange chucklefuck can't declare himself a perpetual candidate and thus unprosecutable.

In other words - this flash candidacy might have lessons we can learn.
