Less than a week now before the big presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Ankle Bracelet Boy. I have to to admit the historian and political scientist in me are somewhat interested.
Should Trump indeed set the tone for this impending WWE Smackdown event by wearing gold plated ankle prison bracelets and then drop the 1-800 number in which the more societal leaning miscreants in his base can purchase a set for $89.95 with a credit card?
Get to work Vince and Linda McMahon….you can do this. Billionaire wheelhouse stuff, guys.
ONLY IN THIS AMERICA….TRUMP’S AMERICA where transactional greed has never flourished as it does circa 2024 could this be the entry to a U.S. presidential debate.
So…how will Kamala Harris conduct herself in this debate?
She needs to remain calm. She should stay away from the Hillary stuff and not assume every person in America not yet convinced she should be POTUS is a deplorable societal miscreant.
She should go high and give the impression that she could possibly in fact do a few things to help the average American who wasn’t propagated from a billionaire’s sperm bank… or is a DNA descendant of Alex Jones.
That would be my starting point and I’d hammer on that theme throughout the debate.
How can a real president help the average American navigate life in 2024 in what has become America Crazy Land?
If I were her…I’d hit the fracking thing and calmly explain why the Green New Deal can never be the sole template for American energy policy moving forward. It doesn’t work by itself exclusively. Even if you’re the most lit-woke member of the far left… by now you should be somewhat coming to terms with this.
I’d offer James Lankford and his fellow gutless GOP senators the opportunity to bring their very same immigration bill to my desk on DAY 1 to sign. And then I’d sign it because it would be the most important piece of immigration legislation in the last thirty years or so. Duh.
These are the kind of real things real presidents do to help real Americans.
Then I’d point out to Ankle Bracelet Boy the 150 member bi-partisan Association of Political Scientists recently rated the list of American Presidents one through forty six.
Hmmn…MJ wonders to himself how that went?
Lincoln, a Republican, edged out FDR for the No. 1 spot on the list. Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican as well, I think was around No. 5 on the list behind Washington and Jefferson. And…Dwight D. Eisenhower, yet another Republican, was in the top eight. Go figure…three iconic Republicans made the top eight and not one of them would give this ‘dubious person’ the time of day if they were still involved in American politics.
So where did Trump rank?
No. 46. Dead last where one would hope a convicted felon would rank.
Where did Joe Biden and Kamala Harris rank?
No. 14.
Probably could have been higher if they hadn’t had to clean up the mess of the previous four years created by POTUS 45 who ranked No. 46.
The end.
Love and peace, Oklahoma.
