“It’s the economy, stupid”

Ok. First, I never liked James Carville. What a hack. And when I said that I didn’t like him to one of my staffers — not raccoon-face — but the short, dumpy one — I could have sworn she said something to the effect of, “Well, his head is brighter than your future” but she was mumbling, and walking out of the room, so who knows?

He does have that famous quote, though:

“It’s the economy, stupid.”

That was some phrase he said to campaign workers when he was a strategist on the successful Bill Clinton campaign. He felt that the economy was something to focus on for voters, and that generally people care the most about the economy and vote for who could steward it better. Other people talk about kitchen table politics — like what the voters see every day, is the most important — what affects them personally… like the cost of gas, or eggs, or whatever.

I don’t get it. What is the hang-up with the economy? And the Republicans and Trump are constantly droning on and complaining about inflation — saying the inflation is so bad, prices are up, and people are hurting.

This seems like a complete fabrication or some kind of misrepresentation of the numbers.

Inflation is up. Don’t get me wrong, and it’s not good. And prices are horrendously up. Prices are 21.2% more expensive since the recession began in February 2020, with 94% of items that the Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks being more expensive than when we took office. 6 percent are the same or cheaper though!! How come they never point that out?

Just for comparison’s sake, I did see a report that said prices rose just under 7.8% during the four years of Donald Trump’s presidency. So. So what? Who’s counting?

Trump had inflation, too!! The year over year inflation increase during Trump’s administration was 1.4 percent. So there. Well, I guess that’s 65 percent less than the historical average on inflation. Near record numbers.

And our administration? Well, during the Biden/Harris (frankly, let’s just blame the old guy if possible) inflation peaked at 9.1 percent — but who’s counting? Our average year over year inflation is at over 5 percent. Like a 30 percent increase on the historical average. But we did pass the infamous “Inflation Reduction Act” which sounds cool. So.

I did ask a staffer what the price increases during our administration meant to the normal average middle class family.

“Oh, Madame Vice President, I don’t want to burden you with numbers — remember, you’re not good at math.” — This is the reply I got.

“Yeah, but pretend I care and tell me.” I said — staring at him— because they know I’m serious if I look at them, which I rarely do.

And you know what!? He said that roughly the price increases during my administration cost the average middle class family $1,400 a month, $17,000 a year or almost one year’s worth of salary during our administration.

Doesn’t seem a lot to pay to have me in office, does it? I mean…. they could have peace and prosperity under Trump, but they’d really miss my cackle. The cackle alone has to be worth 17k a year (or potentially more, my economic plan is more of a crap shoot than a plan)…

We good. I think.

Heartless

So I don’t understand the chatter on social media about the Democrats, and me in particular, being heartless after fucking Mayorkas announced we don’t have enough FEMA money for AMERICANS for the hurricane season.

If it was for people here in the USA illegally? We would find the money. We aren’t heartless.

In fact, we are so wonderfully nice — we make it super easy to come to the country if you want to. We have a CBOne App for anyone in the world — it takes less than five minutes and zero documentation for people anywhere to be approved to fly into the USA on tax-payer funded air tickets, and when they get here, we give them money and food and assistance to get them settled. We will even pay their housing in most communities, and my plan — Day 1 — is to make this even better and easier. And, help them buy houses here in the USA.

Hey — with a stroke of a pen, we can even give them “legal status” — even the ones with crazy criminal records. They deserve a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth (and so on) chance, I believe. And so, helping them buy houses is the least we could do.

Recently, the California state Senate decided that “undocumented immigrants” (illegals) should be eligible for a taxpayer-funded home loan program which would provide up to $150,000 in down payment help for eligible first-time home buyers.

And I think that’s great. I truly want to Californinize the country. California is like the poster child for me, I helped shape the state for many years — and it’s the absolute top in so many areas — the home of high taxes, the most homeless, most people moving out of the state, most insanely indoctrinated education…. Oh yes, and huge, huge, increases in crime numbers. See!? The top in so many areas.

People should stop looking at North Carolina and look at all the good we do for everyone all over the world, regardless of their backgrounds. We are inclusive… And if they look at all that, maybe their opinions on our competence would change.

Heartless? Hardly. We care. We really do.

We good.

Math

I’m not a brain surgeon and I’m bad at math, but I don’t think it’s a great look for my campaign or my competence when my fucking Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tells reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to see Americans through the rest of this hurricane season.

Because, even though I’m bad at math, it’s pretty easy to look up the amount of money my administration has spent on dumb things and also the amount of money our government has made the great American taxpayers shell out to other countries and people who are not Americans. Many, many, many billions. With a B. I think these are the numbers, approximately. But they are provided by the government, so… not sure if they are correct:

$24 billion to Ukraine.

$11 billion to Israel.

$2 billion to Ethiopia.

$1.5 billion to Jordan.

$1.5 billion to Egypt.

$1 billion to Afghanistan.

$1 billion to Somalia.

$1 billion to Yemen.

Almost $1,000,000,000 (that’s a billion – NINE zeros) to Congo.

Almost $1 billion to Syria.

And … we gave access to $10 billion to Iran six weeks after it killed three American soldiers…

What!?

In past two years, we have given nearly $1,000,000,000 (that’s a billion dollars) of FEMA money (that doesn’t count the many many many billions that has come out of other government funds. From tax-paying Americans.

The city of NY alone, for example, is planning to spend $3.07 billion in FY 2024 to house migrants.

And then Hurricane Helene victims. Well, we have repeatedly said we will give them everything they need. In fact, I recently gave the ability for each victim to apply for $750 emergency funds. I mean, they don’t have computers or internet to do that (or food, water…homes) — but who’s counting? $750 is a lot of money. I mean, we pay $350 a night, every night, for the illegal immigrants in NYC, but who’s counting?

Additionally, we have provided:

Untold thousands of dollars to each illegal immigrant that has entered the U.S — cell phones, cash cards, rides to other states, food cards… I guess a bunch of stuff. And the cost to Americans — who knows?

Last year, FAIR published a report entitled the
Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers. The study strives to illustrate the
myriad of ways Americans pay for illegal immigration. The conservative estimate is that Americans now pay $150.7 billion dollars annually due to illegal immigration. This figure represents a
net cost— estimated expenditures are $182 billion. Approximately $31 billion is received from illegal aliens in taxes, only 17 percent of the
costs they create.

But who’s counting? And where was I going with this? Too many numbers.

And yet, not enough for Americans…?

Fucking Mayorkas. If I’ve learned one thing — it’s that you’re not supposed to be truthful to the Americans. Especially in an election year.

Good? No, no good.

No One Likes Her

I’m not talking about me. People like me.

Communists like me, terrorists like me, parents who have yet to understand that I am in favor of stripping all their rights in choices about their kids — they like me, women who want a woman for President and haven’t figured out (or choose to ignore) that I don’t care about women’s sports or women in general — they like me, and people who hate Trump — they like me.

People like me; they really, really like me.

It’s Liz Cheney that no one can stand.

And me? I have to go to the “birthplace of the Republican Party” today — some shitty “Little White Schoolhouse” in Wisconsin with her. Fuck.

I can see why no one likes her. She is not easy to be around. She’s smug — she always acts like she’s the smartest in the room. I don’t care who her fucking daddy was — Lizard (that’s what I like to call her behind her back because she reminds me of a fat, slimy, lizard) — I don’t care who her Daddy is or was… I don’t like her.

Democrats don’t like her because it’s people like her who propped up Trump and she should not be able to wash her hands from that stain — ever — no matter how many times she says she hates him now. Also — she has attacked Democrats for their “ridiculous wokeness.” How dare she! Our ridiculous wokeness is our strength! It’s how we choose our leaders, it’s the most important thing to add to school curriculums — who care about reading and writing? It’s so much better to spend tax payer money to add in gender talks for kindergartners and first graders. They should learn early there are at least 72 genders and more being added all the time! And have drag queens do their story time! How dare she say this is ridiculous!?

And Republicans? Cheney was VERY badly defeated in her last race — and conceded quickly. They hate her for chumming up to Nervous Nancy and the other Democrats and pretending to be a “Republican” on the January 6th witch hunt committee.

And to some people on both sides — Liz “the chubby turn coat” as they like to call her (no one likes a smug, chubby, turn coat) — along with her father — is known to have led the United States into a strategically disastrous war in the Middle East on the basis of lies and misrepresentations… one of the worst cons in American political history, resulting in the death of several thousand American soldiers and about 200,000 Iraqi civilians.

I’m no brain surgeon but I have heard the phrase, “Hell hath no fury like a women scorned.” And when Trump pointed out that fact — that she and her father were warmongers — and more interested in reaping the money surrounding that war than they were interested in stopping war and protecting Americans… well, I can imagine she (and Daddy) was angry.

Angry enough to pretend that she believes that Trump poses an existential threat to American democracy and that her most important task as a patriotic American and daughter of Dick Cheney is to counter that danger?

Setting aside that she knows my administration will try to actually change Democracy as we know it — pack the Supreme Court, deeply curtail the first Amendment, throw the second Amendment out, make Washington DC a new completely Democratic state virtually guaranteeing the Democrats will own the senate (or maybe abolish the Senate — who needs that?) …impose actual fascism — force “choices” on people — like vaccines and electric vehicles — etc … is there another reason she wants to support me to beat Trump? And how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Toostie Roll pop? Perhaps the world will never know.

I got to read a little bit of her speech today, ahead of time, and she plans to say —

“As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”

And yet. She knows my priorities do not include defending the constitution— actually mostly the opposite. So. Is she smug, chubby, a turn coat AND dumb?

My staff did tell me that the reason I have to stand beside her is that she is the one woman who has a favorability score less than mine — and so, as my favorability is now starting to go back down again as people see and hear more from me, I’ll look good next to her — and I’ll try my best not to refer to her as a smug Lizard.

We good. Wisconsin — here we come!

Ménage a Trois 2

I’m not a brain surgeon and I don’t speak French. But I sure as hell know a two on one when I see it.

Technically last night’s debate should be a 3 on 1 — Walz and the moderators versus Vance.

But Walz was hardly a factor. In my mind he went from the creepy school teacher you suspect has bodies buried in his back yard to …. to the reason shampoo bottles need instructions or the one the flight attendants are talking to when they explain seatbelts… or even the guy who asks if he’s spelling his own name right when he’s filling out his name tag. He was a complete idiot and, by contrast, made Vance look like well, a — brain surgeon.

I thought we were the party of joy — but for me — the only joy Walz brought to the debate was when he left the stage.

He even called himself a knucklehead!!! I mean— who wants a knucklehead for a VP?

And Vance? He basically put on a clinic on how to destroy another person in a debate but be very civilized and nice about it. It was a thing of beauty. He went from the weird guy no one knew (but they thought he was weird since that’s all we say about him, and the media echoes it) to a respectful man — President-like — unwavering and articulate. The viewers saw a man that — if he became President, would be serious, brilliant and well-respected. And a man that clearly has Americans’ best interests at heart.

Ugh.

The only good thing is that my staff and I had a drinking game— and we took a drink every time Walz’s eye bugged out of his head or he looked dazed and confused, or he lied but wasn’t fact-checked. We were all seriously hammered by the end of it all. So… his embarrassing loss to Vance wasn’t as painful with the alcohol pulsing though my veins.

But this morning? My head hurts, I feel like I’m going to throw up, and it’s not even from the booze, I don’t think. Some things you just can’t unsee, and Walz’s “deer in headlights” look is one of those. I’m sick to my stomach at the thought of … being in same room with him and having to grin and say things like, “Walz was amazing” and … and I’m feeling like a little throw-up is going to come into the back of my mouth when I have to say this, “I’m so happy to have Walz as my running mate; he is going to be a great VP.”

I am holding out hope that I’m not the only person in America who just can’t stand the guy. Well, the media has really become the best supporter of the Democratic Party and have no shame lying to everyone. The people who didn’t actually witness this uncomfortable awkward Walz performance will be told he was amazing and Vance is still a weirdo.

We probably good…. if I can avoid actually throwing up. Seriously, ugh. And triple ugh.

$16 Billion

I was wondering what Iran did with the $16 billion Biden gave them.

And, I just walked out of the situation room. And I guess I now know. Biden wasn’t at the beach, after all. He was just napping.

The media couldn’t possibly pin this on me. I’m their Kamala ball of joy. And light. Just because we funded terrorism and hundreds of ballistic missiles… I mean, who is really counting? I should be fine.

War, not usually super great. But, my staffer reminded me — it could help the people who make money off war…. most of which are some of my biggest supporters… And that, in turn could help me… maybe we good after all…?

They said I most likely won’t have to do a news conference. (Better if I don’t) … But I did get promised wine at the debate watching party tonight.

So sounds like I am good.

It’s War

So now we are basically at war in the Middle East. Iran sending rockets into Israel. Israel on ground incursion of Lebanon. People huddled in shelters.

And I think Joe is still at the beach. Who knows? Not that it matters.

Just potentially the beginning of WWIII — but who’s counting?

And…. Me? Me — I’m not “allowed to do news conferences” and the world is waiting.

The status meeting changed from talks of the impending VP debate to — what the fuck is going on — chaos.

I’m sitting here taking time to write in my diary while they all figure out how to tightrope the situation. We’ve gotten pretty good at finger pointing and the constant “tsk, tsk” directed at Israel and stance of finding a way to somehow blame them for all the wrongs, while also occasionally feigning pro-Israel stance.

The gang is now discussing that polling suggests that more than 1/2 of the Democrats favor the anti-Israel BDS movement (only a very very small numbers of Republicans— weirdly) — and it’s gotten to a point where we need those voters… so we have to be very careful not to offend the large anti-Semitic portion of our party.

And then we have the other side…. The Republicans… and Libertarians… they like to point out that we should stop funding terrorists – like Iran —- I guess stop giving money to Iran so they can fund all the other terrorists who want all Israelis dead, and also all Americans. They point out that if the terrorists would put down their weapons there would be peace but if Israel puts down their weapons there would be no Israel. And if they had a chance they would kill us all too. And what are they saying about tunnels they are now finding from Mexico to San Diego dug by Hamas? I’m super confused. Basic nonsense (or common sense in there somewhere) — hard to figure out.

Yeah. We no good.

#Rescuetherepublic

So.

How many times have I complained about this fucking X that Elon has? And still nothing can be done about shutting down that shit?

They wake me up way too early to travel. And on the plane we have a bit of an impromptu status update. Apparently RFK Jr. held a rally on the Washington mall yesterday called “Rescue the Republic” with quite a diverse crowd and diverse line-up of speakers. My staff is basically giddy because the Wall Street Journal has finally fallen in line and wrote an article calling the event “weird” and all the speakers “weird” and the crowd “weird”. And, in general, just a great job by the main stream media denigrating the group, their thoughts and dreams, their science, their little “resistance” movement. There were a few other articles shoved in my face with quotes like “the tens of hundreds that came to see the weird event” and some other dismissive stuff. And, they were giddy on the lack of coverage by most news outlets on the event in general.

So, I ask about X and Musk.

And there was a long pause, like super long. I’ve kinda gotten used to this — the longer the pause, the worse the news will be after.

We have deemed Musk to be Public Enemy number 2. Trump is chiseled in granite as Public Enemy number 1. But, Musk. He’s just, at this point, really fucking bad.

So they tell me the smut.

He allowed a live stream, then picked specific very powerful moments of the rally —- all against me, against big pharma, against my dream of complete government control — to post on his own account. And the hashtag #rescuetherepublic is now trending. Also #jointheresistance…

The tall staffer pointed out that this is just another “Tea Party” and probably won’t get traction. The “Tea Party” did get traction, but that was basically some rag tag moms and random people. This new movement is led by RFK Jr., and propped up by the person who has the biggest reach to voters of anyone.

Yes, bigger than Taylor Swift, says one staffer who looks like they might faint.

She goes on further.

“Elon. Public Enemy number 2. Even as he tries to lift up the world, save free speech…. Even as his business ventures have sparked a renaissance in space exploration, a rise in the sales of electric vehicles and renewable energy, even if he has ignited a broader discourse on humanity…” she trailed off, seemingly mad at herself for saying anything nice about him at all. In a huff.. she just walked to the back of the plane and slammed the door to the bathroom.

We good, right?

Vegas Smaygus

No cap, this sucks. Cool…I learned a new word. Or two words, whatever. “No cap” means I ain’t playing or I ain’t lying. No cap, this sucks means, I’m not lying — this actually sucks.

Who goes to Vegas to do a dumb rally? Vegas is for gambling, getting shit-faced drunk and partying all night. What happens in Vegas… stays in Vegas. I wish that was how San Francisco worked also so I could stop answering all those questions about my affair with Willie Brown and if that’s the reason I got my first government positions…

No. This trip is not at all fun. Outside the convention hall there were protestors with signs like “No More Kamalanomics” and “Stop Kamunism” and, even worse, “Just Say No to the Kommie Ho” …oh and a few others — just simple ones like — “She Sucks – Literally – ask Willie” and “MAGA” and “MAHA” and “I’m with Kamala — Just Kidding, I’m not Stupid”…

Damn. And the “status meeting” today was basically about what NOT to say and questions NOT to answer no matter what.

First and foremost— do not talk about the crazy increase in crime in Nevada — potentially due to a mix of inflation and the influx of illegal immigrants in the state — both linked easily to me. As they explained it — it’s easy to say crime is down across the country because we just don’t include the crime in NY, for example, the largest population in the country. Or we tweak the numbers in other ways. So, we basically lie. And the media says the Republicans are crazy to point out the flaws in our numbers — and that they are racist — so it’s fine. And people would have to do way too much digging into our numbers to understand. But … here in Nevada… they report their crimes. And the numbers are bad. Depending on how you slice it, it’s either the most unsafe to the 5th most unsafe state. In 2023, car thefts rose by 36 percent.

Oh shit. Gotta go schmooze the crowd and go on stage soon. I’ll have time to write more later.

I’ll just go out and read the teleprompter and maybe throw in a few honorable mentions to the women who made history throughout history.

We good. I hope.

Border Smorder

Ok. Take that haters! I went to border yesterday. Kind of a bad day to go… but I fucking went! Take that. I’m very proud of myself.

But, yeah it was a bad day to go… Turned out to be the SAME day our fucking brilliant government released these numbers:

Of the 7 million migrants (yes, seven million was the actual number, that’s not a typo) that ICE caught and released while their cases are being processed (these are OUR numbers — of the illegal immigrants we KNOW about, the ones that WE PROCESSED and WE LET IN to go WHEREVER they want in the USA) —- 663,000 have criminal histories, 13,000 were convicted of homicide, 16,000 of sexual assault, and 1,845 face homicide charges. We have no idea about the millions of so called “got aways” which could be, percentage wise, chocked full of criminals and people who want to do America and Americans harm, allegedly. (According to my own administration, if you can trust that…)

Sometimes my mind wanders to conspiracy theories. I mean most are from complete nut jobs. And even the ones that are “true” — we do a pretty good job of just claiming them to be false or lumping them in with the crazy ones — and completely discounting them.

Like that “conspiracy theory” that Trump keeps bringing up (and we just keep calling him racist for it) — the claim that we are letting in “criminals, murderers, and rapists.”

Shit, that looks like it turned out to be true. Fuck. And our administration released the numbers…. What a crazy coincidence… I’m at the border, and they release the numbers… almost as if some people in the government aren’t happy about what we are doing? Letting people in intentionally to destroy the country from within? What a crazy conspiracy theory. Fucking nut job.

Most of the media will still report glowingly on my visit and what a great job I will do securing the border ONCE I am elected. They would never report on the shitty job we did the past four years —- most won’t even report on these numbers released. The voters are oblivious.

We are a campaign ticket full of joy!! I’m Kamala fucking Harris, wearing a tan blazer with black pants and a cream shirt and my pronouns are she her.

We good. I think.
