Coronavirus Diary

Today is Tuesday, Tuesday, July 22, 2024. “So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type,” with those words spoken twice at campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, and at her first campaign stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to an exuberant crowd of 3,000 admirers, the new presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, declared she is a formidable foe of the Orange Turd. This should be a meme throughout her campaign, I feel. Someone should immortalize it somehow on a T-shirt or something like that. Harris’s rousing speech to the audience in Wisconsin succeeded in completely blotting out the ghastly Republican National Conference that just went on there a few days ago. Who had a convention there? you might ask. Yeah, the one with asinine Hulk Hogan shredding his muscle shirt and declaring his love for the Orange Turd and Kid Rock showing how irrelevant he is in today’s world. That convention that was seen by a minuscule percentage of viewers.

At her first campaign stop in Wisconsin today, Harris pierced Trump’s vision for the future in an online Media ITE article written by Alex Griffing entitled ‘Chaos, Fear, and Hate!’ Kamala Harris Shreds Trump’s Vision for the Future While Promising to Build the Middle Class.”

Harris delivered a high-octane speech to a crowd of supporters and campaign staff in her first campaign trail rally as a candidate for president. During her rousing address, she doubled down on her campaign theme of prosecutor versus felon, recalling her time as attorney general of California. She listed the kinds of perpetrators she put behind bars and then likened many of them to Donald Dump. Briefly, the crowd chanted, “Lock him up!” which is quite priceless, given the Trumpicans’ penchant to chant the same phrase with respect to then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Harris ended her remarks by turning toward the economy and her vision of the future, which is quite lacking among Republicans these days, “We believe in a future where every senior can retire with dignity [Donald Trump and his Trumpicans want to gut Social Security and Medicare]. So all of this is to say, building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency. Because here’s the thing we all here in Wisconsin know, when our middle class is strong, America is strong.”

Then Harris told the crowd the nefarious things that Dump and his administration intend to do if this bastard is ever reelected, saying that Dump wants to take this country backward. She then went on talking about Dump’s Project 2025 agenda that will weaken the middle class. She then outlined how the blueprint of gutting America as envisioned by the jerks at the Heritage Foundation will succeed in cutting Social Security and Medicare. She excoriated Dump for intending to give tax breaks – once more – to billionaires and corporations. She also lashed into the Orange Turd for wanting to end the Affordable Care Act “and take us back then to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with preexisting conditions.”

Here the crowd loudly chanted, “Not going back! Not going back! Not going back!”

Harris continued, “Because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for freedom,” a theme that would have resonated with many voters if President Biden were able to successfully articulate this. The presumptive presidential candidate then struck a stark contrast with her vision of the future as that envisioned by Dump and his band of criminals, saying, “Do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion, and rule of law? Or a country of chaos, fear, and hate? And here’s the beauty of this moment. We each have the power to answer that question. The power is with the people.”

Oh, by the way, at no time during her enthusiastic speech at her first campaign rally did Harris stutter, stumble, or mispronounce words like Donald Dump has done innumerable times during his own ridiculous rallies.

Kamala Harris’s run for president has ignited real excitement among the electorate, it seems, and it should get even more exciting when Harris selects her running mate. Harris will have no issue running on Dump’s debased character as candidate for the presidency. Dump should drop out right now before being shredded by her on the campaign trail. We all know how he hates hearing the truth!

Already, the disgusting Trumpican party is calling Harris names such as a “DEI hire.” Former Biden domestic policy adviser Susan Rice called the name “offensive” to Wolf Blitzer on CNN. The term, as you might know, refers to “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” and, to me, it’s code for someone of color which is what Kamala is. It’s a profound dehumanizing term and I believe voters will reject this label for her and put her over the top on November 5. We all know Donald and his white cronies are all racist anyway.

Also, The news about Dump’s vice president pick, J.D. Vance, is not good. It appears that Vance is not well liked by voters among Dump’s supporters. Hell, this is good for Democrats here. Harry Enten, MSNBC’s senior data reporter, states in a video, “He’s dragging Trump down,” to Erin Burnett.

Anyway, I hope there is now a glimmer of hope with Kamala Harris’s candidacy. And, boy, what a difference a day makes. Biden made his historic announcement to drop out of the race on Sunday, and here it’s Tuesday, and the Harris campaign has raised an astonishing $100 million since the vice president’s candidacy was made official.

I have an announcement myself, which is certainly not that explosive from the ones we’ve been hearing lately: tomorrow Elliot and I are meeting my New York cousins for dinner at 7 on East 62nd Street, at David Burke Tavern, a restaurant I’ve never heard of before. Therefore, I probably won’t write my blog tomorrow.

So have a great Wednesday.

Stay safe and be well.
