\u201cI can imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cCannibals ate my Uncle Bosie.\u201d<\/p>\n

We all will feel a real sense of loss when Joe and Kamala move onto the next chapters of their lives.\u00a0 Well, Kamala will anyway.\u00a0 There is no next chapter of Joe\u2019s life.\u00a0 There may not be a next paragraph or even sentence.\u00a0 If Biden shows up at the Inauguration, I hope someone will have had the foresight to bring along a body bag and some absorbent material; kitty litter or paper towels or something.<\/p>\n

But we will be losing a lot.\u00a0 I can remember in 2021 and 2022 when things were truly awful with COVID and the restrictions around it.\u00a0 It was only Joe\u2019s struggles with gravity that gave me the will to go on.\u00a0 And what about Kamala\u2019s pronouncements about yellow school buses and Venn diagrams?\u00a0 It was only this level of idiocy that gave me the hope that even the American public would back away from the edge of the Abyss and send these two boobs packing in 2024.\u00a0 Sure, it was thin gruel to keep us going for three and a half years but it was all we had.<\/p>\n

And it worked!\u00a0 In July when I watched Joe Biden in the debate it was like the clouds parting and the sun blazing out at me.\u00a0 It was the promise of all those gaffes, flubs and pratfalls coming home to roost for the Democrats.\u00a0 And it was not only that.\u00a0 It was this fumbling, bumbling, inarticulate, incoherent dementia patient juxtapositioned against all the sound bites of politicians and reporters and talking heads like Morning Joe swearing on a stack of bibles that Jumping Joe Biden was \u201cas sharp as a tack,\u201d that \u201cthis version of Biden \u2026 is the best Biden ever.<\/a>\u201d\u00a0 It was Christmas in July.\u00a0 The horror and panic that descended on Washington and Hollywood and New York was hilarious.\u00a0 And the more the Left begged Biden to drop out the more he doubled down.\u00a0 The interview he did with Stephanopoulos was remarkable.\u00a0 You could see the pain on Stephanopoulos\u2019s face as he tried his best to put the dots together for Biden on how hopeless his chances were.<\/p>\n

And finally, when Pelosi and her hatchet-men had delivered some doomsday ultimatum to Biden to force him out of the race, imagine the horror the campaign faced when they evaluated how they could package and sell Kamala.\u00a0 Their first idea was the best; don\u2019t let her say anything except, \u201cjoy.\u201d \u00a0They used that for about a month, that and whatever versions of it they could frame.\u00a0 I guess the most embarrassing was Kamala is \u201cbrat.\u201d\u00a0 But eventually they had to let her talk and that would eventually remind voters that presidents have to be able to speak and by extension, think.\u00a0 And of course that is Kamala\u2019s weak point.\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s one of them.\u00a0 She\u2019s also unlikeable and, perhaps worse, she\u2019s incandescently inauthentic.\u00a0 Everything she says comes across as an absurd lie that everyone can see through.<\/p>\n

And so, the Left went from Biden to Harris.\u00a0 Scylla to Charybdis.\u00a0 Bad to worse.\u00a0 Dumb and dumber.\u00a0 I can only imagine the horror of the campaign team.\u00a0 There must have been an ocean of booze imbibed during the campaign to keep the staff from bolting for the exits.\u00a0 And the Democrat voters told themselves so many lies and so many contrasting versions of the truth, that it must have been like some kind of self-inflicted brainwashing protocol.\u00a0 Yesterday, Biden is a super genius.\u00a0 Today he\u2019s a doddering moron and Harris is a political dynamo and a lock for the win. Tomorrow they\u2019re praying for the Never-Trumpers like Liz Cheney to save them from a razor thin margin.\u00a0 And then the morning after, it\u2019s a wipeout and she never had a chance.\u00a0 And thus, was spawned a thousand TikTok videos of angry women screaming at their phones about fascism, the 4B Movement and never going to Thanksgiving ever again.\u00a0 Oh, so wonderful, oh so painful.<\/p>\n

Well, we won\u2019t have Joe Biden to kick around anymore.\u00a0 I doubt anyone will even attend his funeral.\u00a0 And Kamala will return to California where she hopes to become governor.\u00a0 I kind of doubt it will happen.\u00a0 If nothing else this campaign has made a lasting impression on everyone about just how stupid this woman is.\u00a0 Maybe she can be mayor of San Francisco for life.\u00a0 Those people have so much white guilt that setting up Kamala as a figurehead leader would make sense to them.\u00a0 But that\u2019s about as far as she\u2019ll go.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s it.\u00a0 No more Joe.\u00a0 No more Kamala.\u00a0 When will we see their like again?\u00a0 Never!<\/p>\n

It gives me a feeling of emptiness, of loss.\u00a0 We need a new leader for the Left.\u00a0 Will Obama or Michelle fill the gap?\u00a0 I kind of doubt it.\u00a0 Well, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.\u00a0 Goodbye Uncle Bosie.\u00a0 It was fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
