GOOD RIDDANCE TO KAMALA
Kamala Harris is no longer running for president. This is excellent, welcome news — the cause for celebration. Good riddance! May Harris’s failed attempt to find higher office destroy her career and sully her reputation for all time.
I’m told that I’m not supposed to feel like this — or, at least, that if I do feel like this, I’m not supposed to say so in public. People worked on that campaign, you see. People tried really hard. But that, I’m afraid, is a load of old nonsense.
Harris was running for the presidency, which is another way of saying that she was running to acquire power. I did not want her to have that power. It is true that some people tried their best to help her gain that power. They’re probably upset today. But they’ll get over it. She’s not that special.
On the contrary: She’s a would-be tyrant whose primary contribution to American life thus far:
*has been to fight “tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors”;
*who has openly promised to act without Congress;
*and who showed us exactly who she is during the Kavanaugh hearings, at which she implied that she knew something terrible about the nominee for the sole purpose of sharing the insinuation on her Twitter feed.
Harris is a woman who, if successful (“successful”), would have overseen the mass confiscation of millions of firearms, the seizing of patents, the federalization of abortion law, and, depending on the polling, the elimination (her word) of the private health insurance plans of 180 million people.
Everything that is wrong with American politics is summed up in Kamala Harris. She’s a weather vane. She’s dishonest. She’s a coward. She’s condescending. And she’s a phony.
She’s the answer to no useful or virtuous question. Nothing good has come from her election or her candidacy. She has nothing of value to offer America. Goodbye. Bad luck. That’s all, folks.
And now, enjoy “One of the most epic burns in Internet history”…

Democrat Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s conciliatory Tuesday (12/03) tweet to Kamala Harris following the California Democrat senator’s early exit from the 2020 presidential race provoked a tidal wave of responses from Twitter users quick to recall recent campaign trail conflict between the two.
The fireworks between the two began during the July Democrat debate, when Harris called Gabbard an “apologist” for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad after Gabbard criticized Harris’ record prosecuting minor drug offenders in California.
After the debate, Harris famously described herself as a “top-tier candidate.” Last month during MSNBC’s Democrat debate, the two clashed again over foreign policy.
While many on Twitter gave Gabbard credit for sinking Harris’ campaign, did the Hawaii lawmaker actually send what she considered a magnanimous, well-meaning tweet offering “best wishes” to Harris following the announcement of her exit?
Sending my best wishes to @KamalaHarris, her family & supporters who have campaigned so hard. While we disagree on some issues, we agree on others & I respect her sincere desire to serve the American people. I look forward to working together on the challenges we face as a nation

Which predictably provoked a firestorm of reactions:
Journalist Tim Pool called the tweet “one of the most epic burns in internet history.”
I honestly can’t see this as anything other than one of the most epic burns in internet history https://t.co/Z4XuJPfWTB

There were plenty more:
Tulsi killed Kamala’s campaign and then sent her a gift basket with a “get well soon” card. https://t.co/8il39y1WsR

This tweet should be the illustration that accompanies the dictionary definition of “schadenfreude” https://t.co/i3yiojZCq7

Is this how they say “Bless Your Heart” in Hawaiian? https://t.co/JYsP9rBCEi

Anyone who understands women knows there’s nothing more savage than what Tulsi just did.
“Sorry about your boyfriend. We’re just different and he chose me over you. Doesn’t mean you’re bad or ugly or anything. Kisses.”
