Official White House portrait of Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States Click to enlarge. |
Well, what a weekend that was, a total turnaround in the Democratic party, which raked in $80 million in campaign contributions from small donors in 24 hours. Whooeee! We are fired up for sure, now.
This is the most electrifying political moment in my memory, which goes back to the time of JFK. Your Head Trucker voted for him, I'm proud to say. It's no lie - I went into the voting booth with my mom, and she let me pull the lever next to his name
This was state of the art in 1960, and they kept working just fine all over the country for decades. The votes were recorded and tallied electrically. |
.But between you and me, fellas, although I'm very enthused about smart, strong Kamala, I also know she has flaws alongside her virtues: she's a human being, like all other politicians. I may not agree with everything she says and does; but I do believe her heart and mind are firmly on the side of democracy and the rule of law, with liberty and justice for all.
And she's electable! She has my vote in the bag already, and I hope will get enough more to stop the fascist steamroller from taking over. That's a mighty big, mighty tough job - she will be a target for outrageous abuse and maybe worse. We should all keep her in our prayers.
Here's Secretary Pete:
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) ; I was never a Bernie fan, but I agree with every word he says here:
And here's that hillbilly sumbitch Trae Crowder, plagiarizing me. What he says about the veep choices in the last part of this video is exactly what I wrote in my Sunday post - a part I later deleted, thinking it sounded too smartass.
Damn, boy! What you mean, poaching off my blog? Or are you some kinda fuckin' mind reader or somethin'? Hell, maybe we just think alike, in which case you are a goddamn smart fella. Next time you come through town, gimme a call, I'll buy you a beer.
BONUS: Kamala outlines her experience and her vision in her first speech to campaign workers in Wilmington, Delaware, yesterday:

Well, Russ, you’ve been a busy blogger of late. Thank you for all of that.
You're welcome. I haven't been this fired up in ages. And you know, at our age, when it happens you just gotta grab for all the gusto you can, ain't that right? *wink*
