  1. Sailer comment section bait. You should have linked to your great Quincy post(s) when was that, 5 years ago, when he had his moment of candor?

    While I don't disagree with Steve's overall implication, upon further review it would seem that Quincy has his hand on his own thigh.

    Also, based on comments that he made during his life, it would seem that Quincy did indeed go on a date with Ivanka Trump and he was a fan of her legs but not her father.

    Fun fact: Of the nine songs on Thriller, four were written by White people.

    Whites wrote six of the 10 songs on Off the Wall, arguably Jacko's second best album.

  6. Quincy Jones wasn’t a trailblazer. What did he do that nobody had done before? Nowadays, blacks and their White “allies” are always speaking of this or that black as a “trailblazer” or “pioneer,” as if this were the 18th or 19th century, although they always condemn Whites who were real “trailblazers” and “pioneers.”

    Our fake veep also seems unaware that Jones was, above all, a gifted musician.

    Quncy Jones - indeed all famous black entertainers to include the deified sports ballers - would have remained on the porch or the playground with an audience of very few had it not been for the legions of mostly white technicians and innovators producing their music and bringing their images into living rooms globally.

    Without white tech (as amply chronicled by Charles Murray in 'Human Accomplishment'), the only positive gifts that blacks give - music and entertainment - would amount to less than nothing.

    Don't think that is it. Jones is pretty old and looks like Pepe there.


    Rather I think its a great example of "where we are". It is standard issue very feminine--"look at me!"--social media. "Look see, I'm here with a (high status) famous person X. Were intimate friends. See I am wonderful!" Social media status grasping.

    November now, our beach has rolled over toward more the older snowbirds retirees. (And we've been running a pretty strong onshore breeze--not natural bikini weather.) But when things warm back up in the spring, pretty much every beach walk AnotherMom and I do, will have one (or more) girls in their bikinis, not taking a quick beach snap with friends, but posing and posing and posing--got to catch exactly the right angles to get their butt just right and make the extra weight in the hips look juicy--for their Instagram account. Our beach has a gentle slope--good for our future grandkids--but is not the least bit stunning or a glamorous. But for a huge number of women this "look at my (more) beautiful, wonderful, exciting, high-status life" competition is like crack. Please like!

    Jones talks like a speed freak. Speed freaks have delusions of grandeur. Jones claims that he can speak 28 languages. He does not list them nor does he speak one of them. The interviewer does not challenge this because speed freaks can get violent.
    Jones is jealous of Taylor Swift. She sells millions of albums and had sold out tours without his help. She has more soul in her songs than Michael Jackson ever did.
    Jones first success was "its my party" by Leslie Gore. He hasn't done anything as good since. He is just coasting on his fame since.

    When the Republicans briefly captured the California House with a one vote majority he found a Republican representative he could charm and bribe to switch votes for the speakership so he could continue as Speaker of the House. She was recalled by her outraged constituents, but he pulled the same coup on another Republican representative so he could remain as Speaker.

    Love stuff like this. Naturally the article asserts without evidence that diverse leadership boosts profits and employee satisfaction - which sort of glides past the reality that essentially every successful enterprise in the US was founded and scaled up by white guys.

    Obviously we spend a lot of time talking about HBD from the perspective of IQ, but personality traits are also heritable and some combinations are more conducive to leadership and naturally will occur more frequently in some groups and less in others. I am sure there is some scholarship out there on leadership traits but the frequency in different racial/ethnic groups is probably never addressed head on.

    There is a black conservative guy I follow on X who likes to periodically post examples of whites doing sort of crazy stuff and asking why we do it, and once I responded that yes we do some inexplicably high risk stuff but that instinct is the same one that took us to the moon and he agreed with it.

    epebble was mentioning on the another thread, in rush of women into health care, government, law, education and media. And on another thread, someone else was noting the decline of the Economist from globalist rag to outright puerile wokeness.

    I've noted before, the greatest coup of the minoritarians was Jewish 2nd wave feminism minoritarianizing white women. Pushing and coaching them to think of themselves as a separate minoritary victim identity group--like the Jews--"oppressed" by white men.

    Laughable. Nasty, evil, destructive stuff ... but tactically brilliant.


    Apparently female grievance is like "deep petroleum", the well that never runs dry. Young women are herd following and eminently indoctrinateable. And launched by feminism on their "you go girl!" careers the longer they stay unmarried--and usually dissatisfied and unhappy, especially with men--the more grievance available.

    There is pretty obviously no reason women should have any great presence in the C-suite. There are really good evolutionary reasons why men are programmed to seek status and dominance--more and more healthy and fertile women. (For example Quincy Jones got famous and spent his life chasing--and bedding and impregnating--attractive, but silly and stupid, young white girls.) There is no reason for women to chase dominance ... other than that they--like all of us--have inherited the genes of their successfully reproducing male ancestors as well as female ancestors and the sex activation/switching of genes and hormones isn't all it could be. For women, this is "looking for status in all the wrong places".

    Neither does having female CEOs do anything for the likes of this Allison Morrow nor any other woman. She is not richer, nor better off in any way with women CEOs. Women are not a nation nor ethnic group. There is no ongoing "community" of women separate from men that is somehow "richer" or "better off". In contrast, she does have a general interest as an American that American companies--our productive enterprises--are well run, innovative, profitable and maintaining their productivity and competitiveness for future generations.

    These annoying eager beavers peddling minoritarian grievance glop are helping drag the West down and drowning it in an ooze of feminine feels--rationality and the willingness to defend ourselves sinking into this mire.

    I wouldn't describe Kamala's career as "sleeping her way to the top". She slept with Willie Brown. She was his mistress. And he got her a bunch of lucrative no-show jobs and an entree into San Francisco politics. From there, she seemed to have advanced by the normal route: sucking up to the crazies that run San Francisco and California and being a willing servant of the rich and powerful.

    Perhaps it's more accurate to say that she slept her way into the club.

    OTOH, Blame It On Rio had well known actors and directors and was shown in mainstream theaters and was not banned. OTOH, it was widely panned at the time by almost all critics.


    Vincent Canby, reviewing Blame It on Rio, wrote "there's not a single funny or surprising moment in the movie. However, Blame It on Rio is not simply humorless. It also spreads gloom. It's one of those unfortunate projects that somehow suggests that everyone connected with the movie hated it and all of the other people involved."[5] The Canberra Times described Blame It on Rio as "one of the worst movies ever made and definitely the most banal piece of rubbish to have Michael Caine's name on the credits—and he has quite a few bombs to his credit."[9] Roger Ebert gave the film 1 star out of a possible 4, writing: "It's really unsettling to see how casually this movie takes a serious situation. A disturbed girl is using sex to play mind games with a middle-aged man, and the movie get its yuks with slapstick scenes...What's shocking is how many first-rate talents are associated with this sleaze."

    On the third hand, 17 year old Michelle Johnson looks spectacular in the raw (they got court approval to have her filmed). Standing next to her, Demi Moore looks like a boy in comparison. Yes by prudish 2024 standards its a nightmare. We know now that young women never have consensual sex before their 18th birthday or lure older men into relationships. Perhaps never because all sex is rape and exploitation by men so female consent (let alone seduction by a female) is merely a fantasy of perverted old men and is not really possible at any age. But in those benighted days this was not yet known.

    Quincy was extremely versatile - he could work with jazz and pop and rock. With Sinatra and Jackson and Van Halen. He had a real ear for what the public wanted to hear.

    In other respects (e.g. his fidelity to marriage to a single female) he was a typical African.

    When a woman hits 31, you gotta kick’em out; they’ll give you worms. You need young p*ssy. I’m 63, you imagine me waking up next to a 63-year-old b*itch? I tell these 24-year-old broads: I give you five minutes; then you gotta get out of here.

    I wouldn’t describe Kamala’s career as “sleeping her way to the top”. She slept with Willie Brown. She was his mistress. And he got her a bunch of lucrative no-show jobs and an entree into San Francisco politics. From there, she seemed to have advanced by the normal route: sucking up to the crazies that run San Francisco and California and being a willing servant of the rich and powerful.

    epebble was mentioning on the another thread, in rush of women into health care, government, law, education and media. And on another thread, someone else was noting the decline of the Economist from globalist rag to outright puerile wokeness.

    I’ve noted before, the greatest coup of the minoritarians was Jewish 2nd wave feminism minoritarianizing white women. Pushing and coaching them to think of themselves as a separate minoritary victim identity group–like the Jews–“oppressed” by white men.

    Laughable. Nasty, evil, destructive stuff … but tactically brilliant.

    Apparently female grievance is like “deep petroleum”, the well that never runs dry. Young women are herd following and eminently indoctrinateable. And launched by feminism on their “you go girl!” careers the longer they stay unmarried–and usually dissatisfied and unhappy, especially with men–the more grievance available.

    There is pretty obviously no reason women should have any great presence in the C-suite. There are really good evolutionary reasons why men are programmed to seek status and dominance–more and more healthy and fertile women. (For example Quincy Jones got famous and spent his life chasing–and bedding and impregnating–attractive, but silly and stupid, young white girls.) There is no reason for women to chase dominance … other than that they–like all of us–have inherited the genes of their successfully reproducing male ancestors as well as female ancestors and the sex activation/switching of genes and hormones isn’t all it could be. For women, this is “looking for status in all the wrong places”.

    Neither does having female CEOs do anything for the likes of this Allison Morrow nor any other woman. She is not richer, nor better off in any way with women CEOs. Women are not a nation nor ethnic group. There is no ongoing “community” of women separate from men that is somehow “richer” or “better off”. In contrast, she does have a general interest as an American that American companies–our productive enterprises–are well run, innovative, profitable and maintaining their productivity and competitiveness for future generations.

    These annoying eager beavers peddling minoritarian grievance glop are helping drag the West down and drowning it in an ooze of feminine feels–rationality and the willingness to defend ourselves sinking into this mire.

    "Jewish 2nd wave feminism"

    A fairly well-known black lady TV writer/producer recently coughed up the reason why Hollywood is dying: Black Rock, Vanguard, State Street. The cultural agenda of these asset management firms which own the majority of the wealth in the Western world was/is to erase whitey and his good deeds. This was clear to me and others who were within shouting distance from me back in 2019. Your feminist problem and me selling my stuff problem are intertwixed. So view the problem from the following angle and it might provide a glimmer of hope: Zionism is a supremacist ideology that most of the world, except for white conservatives, is ready to be done with.

    OTOH, Blame It On Rio had well known actors and directors and was shown in mainstream theaters and was not banned. OTOH, it was widely panned at the time by almost all critics.

    Vincent Canby, reviewing Blame It on Rio, wrote “there’s not a single funny or surprising moment in the movie. However, Blame It on Rio is not simply humorless. It also spreads gloom. It’s one of those unfortunate projects that somehow suggests that everyone connected with the movie hated it and all of the other people involved.”[5] The Canberra Times described Blame It on Rio as “one of the worst movies ever made and definitely the most banal piece of rubbish to have Michael Caine’s name on the credits—and he has quite a few bombs to his credit.”[9] Roger Ebert gave the film 1 star out of a possible 4, writing: “It’s really unsettling to see how casually this movie takes a serious situation. A disturbed girl is using sex to play mind games with a middle-aged man, and the movie get its yuks with slapstick scenes…What’s shocking is how many first-rate talents are associated with this sleaze.”

    On the third hand, 17 year old Michelle Johnson looks spectacular in the raw (they got court approval to have her filmed). Standing next to her, Demi Moore looks like a boy in comparison. Yes by prudish 2024 standards its a nightmare. We know now that young women never have consensual sex before their 18th birthday or lure older men into relationships. Perhaps never because all sex is rape and exploitation by men so female consent (let alone seduction by a female) is merely a fantasy of perverted old men and is not really possible at any age. But in those benighted days this was not yet known.

    Quincy got his friend Eddie Van Halen to play the guitar solo on Beat it. Which in no small measure had a huge impact on the mega hit track off the Thriller album. Adding cross over appeal to young, white, male rockers in the age of the guitar virtuoso gunslinger. That solo defined 80’s pop, with countless pop hits throughout the decade featuring Van Halen esque guitar solos. It was a brilliant move by Quincy.

    Quincy was extremely versatile – he could work with jazz and pop and rock. With Sinatra and Jackson and Van Halen. He had a real ear for what the public wanted to hear.

    Blacks’ keen sense of tune and rhythm has been recognized and documented for literally thousands of years. As have the many other less desirable traits they’re known for.

    I recall attending a music event that included both Japanese taiko and some (forget the particular country) traditional Black African drumming. The African drumming was far superior - layered, complex and frankly just brilliant - especially compared to the taiko drumming. Of course, the Japanese can build bullet trains running on a schedule with delays measured in seconds. Meanwhile, Blacks can’t maintain the rail infrastructure they inherited from the Europeans and rely on the Chinese to build their new rail systems.

    epebble was mentioning on the another thread, in rush of women into health care, government, law, education and media. And on another thread, someone else was noting the decline of the Economist from globalist rag to outright puerile wokeness.

    I've noted before, the greatest coup of the minoritarians was Jewish 2nd wave feminism minoritarianizing white women. Pushing and coaching them to think of themselves as a separate minoritary victim identity group--like the Jews--"oppressed" by white men.

    Laughable. Nasty, evil, destructive stuff ... but tactically brilliant.


    Apparently female grievance is like "deep petroleum", the well that never runs dry. Young women are herd following and eminently indoctrinateable. And launched by feminism on their "you go girl!" careers the longer they stay unmarried--and usually dissatisfied and unhappy, especially with men--the more grievance available.

    There is pretty obviously no reason women should have any great presence in the C-suite. There are really good evolutionary reasons why men are programmed to seek status and dominance--more and more healthy and fertile women. (For example Quincy Jones got famous and spent his life chasing--and bedding and impregnating--attractive, but silly and stupid, young white girls.) There is no reason for women to chase dominance ... other than that they--like all of us--have inherited the genes of their successfully reproducing male ancestors as well as female ancestors and the sex activation/switching of genes and hormones isn't all it could be. For women, this is "looking for status in all the wrong places".

    Neither does having female CEOs do anything for the likes of this Allison Morrow nor any other woman. She is not richer, nor better off in any way with women CEOs. Women are not a nation nor ethnic group. There is no ongoing "community" of women separate from men that is somehow "richer" or "better off". In contrast, she does have a general interest as an American that American companies--our productive enterprises--are well run, innovative, profitable and maintaining their productivity and competitiveness for future generations.

    These annoying eager beavers peddling minoritarian grievance glop are helping drag the West down and drowning it in an ooze of feminine feels--rationality and the willingness to defend ourselves sinking into this mire.

    Hence, there was an original ‘Kamala Harris’ 40 years ago :

    To think, the first ‘Kamala Harris’ passed away just the day before the second ‘Kamala Harris’ was appointed on the Veep slot, at a time when never has a Veep had a better chance of actually becoming POTUS due to Biden’s advanced age.

    What a coincidence. This was truly an immense coincidence.

    This was an Omen of supernatural proportions. It should still not be taken lightly, even four years on. Coincidences of such precision are always omens.

    I guess the funny story of interest today will be the Amish flipping Pennsylvania.

    Seems last year, an Amish farmer had been selling and bartering his goods in the Amish community, feds found out, ordered him to stop, he wouldn’t comply, they raided his farm and shut it down until he agreed to pay some hefty fines.

    The extremely interconnected Amish community didn’t like that. Then Trump, in a genius move, dropped by for a campaign event IN Amish country, and agreed they were wronged, and that he’d set the feds straight, and get big government off their hard-working backs, if elected. Kamala never visited them.

    This compelled all, even ancient Amish folks, who had never registered to vote in their entire lives, to come together, register, and vote for Trump. Didn’t make a splash in the national news. Major media journalists are typically an extremely dense bunch, and committed democrats have never been accused of thinking ahead to long-term consequences. Thats just not who they are.

    Meanwhile, all the Amish do every day is prepare for long-term consequences. It kind of defines them.

    Since this summer, I’ve been thinking, this is the secret sauce that can help flip Pennsylvania, and nobody seems to be paying attention. Pollsters can’t be taking this into account, and that’s great! Can’t wait…

    Puerto Ricans not only got the garbage joke, they seem to have agreed with it-- understandably so. The GOP-allied candidate has just been elected gobernadora. The Democrat-allied candidate is a distant third, behind an independence candidate, and has already conceded.

    The NYT and Polymarket at this posting make Donald Trump the odds-on favorite to win the so-called "popular vote". Yes, this is cosmetic. It will be handy regardless. When Trump pulled off his upset in 2016, it was immediate. It didn't require days of counting and recounting. HRC was trapped into conceding.

    Tempted as they will be to take three or four states to after-midnight counts, doing so with fewer PVs will stink like Rebecca Cooke's dairy farm in the summer doldrums.

    There are still a few goo-goos left in the party, aren't there? To press for concession. Or have the Clintons driven the few honest ones out?

    OTOH, Blame It On Rio had well known actors and directors and was shown in mainstream theaters and was not banned. OTOH, it was widely panned at the time by almost all critics.


    Vincent Canby, reviewing Blame It on Rio, wrote "there's not a single funny or surprising moment in the movie. However, Blame It on Rio is not simply humorless. It also spreads gloom. It's one of those unfortunate projects that somehow suggests that everyone connected with the movie hated it and all of the other people involved."[5] The Canberra Times described Blame It on Rio as "one of the worst movies ever made and definitely the most banal piece of rubbish to have Michael Caine's name on the credits—and he has quite a few bombs to his credit."[9] Roger Ebert gave the film 1 star out of a possible 4, writing: "It's really unsettling to see how casually this movie takes a serious situation. A disturbed girl is using sex to play mind games with a middle-aged man, and the movie get its yuks with slapstick scenes...What's shocking is how many first-rate talents are associated with this sleaze."
     
    From the Wiki.

    On the third hand, 17 year old Michelle Johnson looks spectacular in the raw (they got court approval to have her filmed). Standing next to her, Demi Moore looks like a boy in comparison. Yes by prudish 2024 standards its a nightmare. We know now that young women never have consensual sex before their 18th birthday or lure older men into relationships. Perhaps never because all sex is rape and exploitation by men so female consent (let alone seduction by a female) is merely a fantasy of perverted old men and is not really possible at any age. But in those benighted days this was not yet known.

    "Biden received 81 million votes in 2020. Once all the results are in, Harris is expected to receive around 73 million votes. What happened to the missing 8 million Democratic voters?"

    Easy. Minority voters who had drifted away to Trump, along with white men and women, and at progressives who had either stayed home or voted third party over Harris’s role in the Biden Administration’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza. Much of her loss stemmed from a campaign that struggled to overcome deep-seated economic concerns and connect with blue collar voters.

    And, of course, across the country, far fewer voters chose to vote ahead of Election Day this year compared with the pandemic-era 2020 election. Four years ago, more than 110 million Americans voted early in person or by mail – roughly 70% of everyone who voted in that election. Mail voting was an especially popular option during the pandemic as voters chose to avoid crowds at in-person polling places. However, in both states, it’s also harder to vote by mail now than it was four years ago.
    Even Trump made more of an effort this year to encourage Republicans to vote early and by mail, a major shift from messaging against pre-election voting in 2020.

    Besides, it would have made more sense to "cheat" in 2024 to elect a black female Democrat. Why didn't the D machine go into overdrive like they allegedly did in 2020 when the stakes were even higher this time around?

The African drumming was far superior - layered, complex and frankly just brilliant - especially compared to the taiko drumming. Of course, the Japanese can build bullet trains running on a schedule with delays measured in seconds. Meanwhile, Blacks can’t maintain the rail infrastructure they inherited from the Europeans and rely on the Chinese to build their new rail systems.

    epebble was mentioning on the another thread, in rush of women into health care, government, law, education and media. And on another thread, someone else was noting the decline of the Economist from globalist rag to outright puerile wokeness.

    I've noted before, the greatest coup of the minoritarians was Jewish 2nd wave feminism minoritarianizing white women. Pushing and coaching them to think of themselves as a separate minoritary victim identity group--like the Jews--"oppressed" by white men.

    Laughable. Nasty, evil, destructive stuff ... but tactically brilliant.


    Apparently female grievance is like "deep petroleum", the well that never runs dry. Young women are herd following and eminently indoctrinateable. And launched by feminism on their "you go girl!" careers the longer they stay unmarried--and usually dissatisfied and unhappy, especially with men--the more grievance available.

    There is pretty obviously no reason women should have any great presence in the C-suite. There are really good evolutionary reasons why men are programmed to seek status and dominance--more and more healthy and fertile women. (For example Quincy Jones got famous and spent his life chasing--and bedding and impregnating--attractive, but silly and stupid, young white girls.) There is no reason for women to chase dominance ... other than that they--like all of us--have inherited the genes of their successfully reproducing male ancestors as well as female ancestors and the sex activation/switching of genes and hormones isn't all it could be. For women, this is "looking for status in all the wrong places".

    Neither does having female CEOs do anything for the likes of this Allison Morrow nor any other woman. She is not richer, nor better off in any way with women CEOs. Women are not a nation nor ethnic group. There is no ongoing "community" of women separate from men that is somehow "richer" or "better off". In contrast, she does have a general interest as an American that American companies--our productive enterprises--are well run, innovative, profitable and maintaining their productivity and competitiveness for future generations.

    These annoying eager beavers peddling minoritarian grievance glop are helping drag the West down and drowning it in an ooze of feminine feels--rationality and the willingness to defend ourselves sinking into this mire.

    Jones is jealous of Taylor Swift. She sells millions of albums and had sold out tours without his help. She has more soul in her songs than Michael Jackson ever did.
    Jones first success was “its my party” by Leslie Gore. He hasn’t done anything as good since. He is just coasting on his fame since.

    The NYT and Polymarket at this posting make Donald Trump the odds-on favorite to win the so-called “popular vote”. Yes, this is cosmetic. It will be handy regardless. When Trump pulled off his upset in 2016, it was immediate.
     
    As of 2am est, the NYT has Trump winning, let's see, SEVEN OUT OF SEVEN SWING STATES. And that's the NYT. Who knew that woke tears were so sweet? Ever so sweet.

    Apparently calling someone the Second Coming of Adolf H. doesn't quite carry the sting it's supposed to anymore. Who would have guessed? Someone else's tears are tasty too.

    The election of Trump dismantles your theory that American presidential elections are stolen and/or there is massive fraud. That didn’t happen in 2020 or in 2024.

    If the Democrats hated Trump so much and is permanently stuck in “steal election mode”, then why didn’t they cheat so much to the point they he would have lost?

    No, he won. There wasn’t the type of cheating then or now that you tout. Grow the f— up.

    “It was an ideal relationship. She loved me, I love me. Perfect.”

    Man, what a great quote by Willie! I’m surprised that I never heard it before. Willie seems like such a character, it’s a shame that he never made it into national politics, but being a kingmaker in San Francisco (when it was still a nice city) must have been mind blowing.

    While I don't disagree with Steve's overall implication, upon further review it would seem that Quincy has his hand on his own thigh.

    Also, based on comments that he made during his life, it would seem that Quincy did indeed go on a date with Ivanka Trump and he was a fan of her legs but not her father.

    OTOH, Blame It On Rio had well known actors and directors and was shown in mainstream theaters and was not banned. OTOH, it was widely panned at the time by almost all critics.


    Vincent Canby, reviewing Blame It on Rio, wrote "there's not a single funny or surprising moment in the movie. However, Blame It on Rio is not simply humorless. It also spreads gloom. It's one of those unfortunate projects that somehow suggests that everyone connected with the movie hated it and all of the other people involved."[5] The Canberra Times described Blame It on Rio as "one of the worst movies ever made and definitely the most banal piece of rubbish to have Michael Caine's name on the credits—and he has quite a few bombs to his credit."[9] Roger Ebert gave the film 1 star out of a possible 4, writing: "It's really unsettling to see how casually this movie takes a serious situation. A disturbed girl is using sex to play mind games with a middle-aged man, and the movie get its yuks with slapstick scenes...What's shocking is how many first-rate talents are associated with this sleaze."
     
    From the Wiki.

    On the third hand, 17 year old Michelle Johnson looks spectacular in the raw (they got court approval to have her filmed). Standing next to her, Demi Moore looks like a boy in comparison. Yes by prudish 2024 standards its a nightmare. We know now that young women never have consensual sex before their 18th birthday or lure older men into relationships. Perhaps never because all sex is rape and exploitation by men so female consent (let alone seduction by a female) is merely a fantasy of perverted old men and is not really possible at any age. But in those benighted days this was not yet known.

    Replies: @njguy73, @Mike Tre, @Curle

    There is or was a group of commenters on the internet some time ago who were claiming mass sexual abuse in the movie industry, investors get an investment and something more, which allegedly explains the film’s location, Michelle’s age and her decision to drop out of the film industry (if in fact she did drop out).

    Ha ha. Normally when one ascends to the level of United States Vice President, and 2024 Democrat Party Nominee, that becomes one’s “highest lifetime achievement, or close to it. But both Kamala’s performance as a VP, and as a Nominee were so pathetic–and her assignment to those roles was so obviously DEI driven–that her achievement as a “desired babe” was the more authentic one.
