One of the pleasures of the campaign season is the vicious backbiting articles performing vivisections of faltering campaigns.
Kamala Harris gets a turn in the dunk tank. It does not sound as if she is an effective leader and manager:
How Kamala Harris’s Campaign Unraveled
Ms. Harris is the only 2020 Democrat who has fallen hard out of the top tier of candidates. She has proved to be an uneven campaigner who changes her message and tactics to little effect and has a staff torn into factions.
Why the long faces?
Many of her own advisers are now pointing a finger directly at Ms. Harris. In interviews several of them criticized her for going on the offensive against rivals, only to retreat, and for not firmly choosing a side in the party’s ideological feud between liberals and moderates. She also created an organization with a campaign chairwoman, Maya Harris, who goes unchallenged in part because she is Ms. Harris’s sister, and a manager, Mr. Rodriguez, who could not be replaced without likely triggering the resignations of the candidate’s consulting team. Even at this late date, aides said it’s unclear who’s in charge of the campaign.
Her one shining moment was in an early debate when she turned to Biden and explained that he opposed forced busing in the 70s but she was a beneficiary of voluntary busing, so his position gave her the sadz.
Yeah, it didn't actually make any sense, as folks eventually realized when she declined to support forced busing today.

Great writer and historian, Doug Wead, has written a true (not Fake News) account of what is going on in Washington and the White House. His new book, INSIDE TRUMP’S WHITE HOUSE, is an incredible description of a very exciting and successful time in our Country’s history. Buy it!

One huge drawback of nuclear power is that it doesn’t dismantle systems of oppression - it only produces clean energy. This makes it unsuitable for solving the climate crisis, which isn’t just about the environment.
So we can just ignore them now, since they're openly saying that they don't actually care about clean energy at all?
Posted by: James D. | December 02, 2019 at 08:41 AM
Speaking of people who don't actually care about clean energy, I really am curious how the NY Times justifies running full page ads for Harry Winston diamonds when they say how much they care about income inequality and the environment.

As much as I love Trump there's one area where he is very badly mistaken. And that is the idea we need lower interest rates and deficits over $1 trillion aren't that big a deal. Those two things are not exactly disconnected. And despite the MMT lunacy the world creeps ever closer to, Herb Stein's dictum will always abide; if something cannot go on forever, it will stop.
When this particular lunacy stops things are going to be very, very bad. As these two hedge funders note "We Will Kill Each Other" If Our Broken Economic System Isn't Fixed.

If all of that money is going overseas only to be funneled back to officials, maybe a lot of the money can be recovered.
I am glad that the President has audits proceeding.

Both Dalio & PTJ are deep believers in "Income Disparity" and the use of taxes to "fix it". PTJ could be convinced that he's going down the wrong path with that. Dalio "knows" that there's no other way.

Agree with Iggy at 9:18. They need to get control of the spending side of the budget. As for interest rates, I thought perhaps Trump was setting Powell up as a scapegoat in case the economy does turn down, and given the state of Europe, Japan, and China it was reasonable for rates to go down a bit as they did. But Trump seems to really think rates should go down to zero, which is a mistake.

In a PA election, voting machines show one candidate receiving only 164 votes when paper ballots confirmed he received 26,124 votes and won the election.
These are the same machines being used in Philadelphia which usually gives Dems huge margins.
