Yes, yes, I know. Country Topics publishes once a week, usually on Tuesday. Well, blame events for this Thursday night special.
I’ve done my best to avoid commenting on the Democratic primary, because there are too many people running. I could write a spin-off newsletter documenting the follies of the Democrats and have enough material to publish five times a day. Alas, I do not have the time.
But events have forced Country Topics to issue its first anti-endorsement. This fine publication endorses anyone but Kamala Harris for president. The rest of the field may be littered with spastic octogenarians, know-nothings, “New Age” gurus, cobwebs, and something called the “Yang Gang,” but none come close to rivalling the depravity of the senator from California.
I’d venture to say that the most dangerous candidate running for president is Harris, not Donald Trump. Unlike Trump, she is someone who not merely aspires to put everyone in prison, but has a long history of doing so.
During her time as a prosecutor, Harris sought to imprison drug addicts, sex workers, and the parents of children who skipped school, all while ignoring police abuses. As she lamented the horrors of mass incarceration, Harris did nothing to reduce the prison population. As Attorney General, she appealed a ruling that declared California’s death penalty system unconstitutional. For a full round-up of Harris’ reign of terror, I refer you to Elizabeth Nolan-Brown’s recent article in Reason.
Unlike “The Donald,” Harris has shown us she has the competency and know-how to unleash her reign of terror on the United States and, indeed, the whole world. Let us not forget that if she wins, she will inherit an even more powerful military than when Trump first took office. Not that the one America had then is anything to shake a stick at.
Should Harris win the nomination, she will have a difficult time finding a running mate. Kim Jong-Un is constitutionally ineligible and Lavrentiy Beria died in 1953. No doubt she will select some feeble, dwarfish figure like “Mayor Pete” (née Buttigieg) to “balance out” the ticket. With any luck, President Trump will be reelected and the only prison people will go to is Twitter. While this is far from ideal, I can only appeal to the sorry state of my cornfield to demonstrate this world’s shortcomings.
So it was with great glee that I saw this morning the hashtag “#kamalaharrisdestroyed” trending on Twitter. During last night’s “debate,” Tulsi Gabbard, one of the many other also-rans, took Harris to task for her record in California.
Fine stuff. Of course, Harris was not “destroyed,” at least not politically. With the Democratic voter’s newfound love of the FBI, CIA, Robert Mueller, and the full weight and might of the judicial system, the idea of executing people and using slave labour is an exciting one, doubly so when the scythe of justice is aimed at their political enemies.
Nevertheless, this must have done some damage to Harris. Immediately after Gabbard’s attack, Harris’ press secretary had this to say:
Now, we are used to the Russians spreading fake news, but what about spreading, well, regular, good ol’ fashion news? Which one of the countless journalists who “tweeted” about the exchange are under the control of Putin? And if they are blameless for reporting what everyone with a television set could see, how ineffective are they that @politicodude69 had to be brought in to spread the word? So many questions that small, provincial minds like mine just don’t have the answers for.
I have, nevertheless, prepared a small flowchart for spotting Russian interference in politics and beyond.
Hopefully this helps.
