Concord, MA…Henry David Thoreau, July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862. “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

      I was at Barnes and Nobles the other day and I asked the manager if they had Donald Trump’s new book on How to deport illegal immigrants.
      She immediately said ” GET THE F@¢K OUT OF HERE AND NEVER COME BACK!”
      I said “Yes, that’s the one, do you have it in paper back?”

      It’s so hilariously funny isn’t it? The Communist party is knifing each other in the back, pointing their fingers like usual blaming others. They really need to look in the mirror and see how ugly their corrupt party has been. It’s no wonder why you lost everything.

      Democrats in the White House are experiencing significant internal strife after Kamala Harris’s defeat to Donald Trump in the presidential election, with blame being cast on different individuals within the party.

      Following Harris’ loss, the vice president’s aides are directing criticism toward President Joe Biden, pointing to his handling of key issues such as inflation and immigration, as well as concerns about his cognitive abilities, verbal gaffes, and his refusal to exit the race earlier. Some insiders described Biden as an “81-year-old albatross hanging around Harris’s neck,” according to a report by the Daily Mail. The outlet quoted one observer saying that the blame game within the Democratic Party is a “blood bath.”

      Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi echoed these sentiments by Harris aides in a recent interview with The New York Times. “Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race… there would be an open primary,” she remarked.

      However, the Biden team has pushed back against this narrative. Per the Dail Mail, one White House insider argued that Trump’s overwhelming victory made it clear that Harris was unable to win regardless of how long she was the nominee for president. Biden loyalists also highlighted that he remains the only Democrat to have successfully defeated Trump, emphasizing Harris’s historically low popularity as vice president prior to becoming the nominee.

      The apparent tension between the Bidens and Harris was further underscored by the absence of both Joe and Jill Biden from Harris’s election watch party. Speculation grew after Biden’s address acknowledging Harris’s loss, during which observers noted he appeared unusually upbeat. Similar claims arose when Biden and Trump were seen smiling together during Trump’s visit to the White House, as there have long been rumors that the Bidens are still frustrated by Joe’s ousting as the nominee in the 2024 election.

      Discontent within Harris’s camp has reportedly been widespread. A Democratic official told Reuters last week that campaign staffers “felt lied to by the campaign.” Staffers were reportedly angered after exit polling revealed Trump’s significant gains among key demographics the party counted on.

      “How do you lose a campaign this badly?” questioned one party strategist. “For weeks, they told us this campaign would be tight. And really, it wasn’t even close.”

      The blame game has even extended to former President Barack Obama and his circle of advisors.

      “There is no singular reason why we lost, but a big reason is because [former] Obama advisers publicly encouraged Democratic infighting to push Joe Biden out,” a former Biden staffer said about David Axelrod, per the Daily Mail.

      I promised my staffers I’d pay them to the end of the year, but you know what? F√¢k’em.

      Staffers working for Kamala Harris who were promised to be paid through the end of the year on the campaign are seeing their payments get cut off as the Harris camp has gone into debt despite being given more than $1 billion in funding.

      The Vice President is still making appeals to donors, asking for more money even though the election is over and she lost, per Politico. Adrian Hemond, a Michigan-based Democratic strategist told the outlet, “The Harris campaign certainly spent more than they raised and is now busy trying to fundraise.”

      The Democratic Party has been using Harris’ email list, sending appeals to small-dollar donors asking for more cash. The campaign has also gotten in contact with larger donors in order to shore up funds to pay their debts.

      Senior staff members who were promised payment through to the end of the year have been getting their paychecks terminated, and the debt stacked up by the Harris camp has been blamed. As of Saturday, many of the staff members were faced with getting cut off. After the backlash that has ensued from the decisions, the Harris campaign said that health insurance for those impacted would still be covered through the year, per the outlet.

      After Harris’ loss, the camping had racked up around $20 million in debt despite raising over $1 billion, and some expenses that have come to light have certainly raised eyebrows. The Harris campaign reportedly spent six figures just on the set of a podcast episode for “Call Her Daddy,” a show that revolves around raunchy sex-related topics.

      Additionally, the Harris camp spent around $12 million total on private jet rides while on the campaign trail. The Trump campaign, on the other hand, ended the election season with a surplus.
