And amidst all the rhetorical shooting drops a dumbbomb&mdash;emphasis on the first word in that incendiary compound. Kamala Harris&mdash;remember her? The former vice president, best known for coughing up scraggled howls we\u2019re told constituted \u201claughing\u201d? The previous presidential contender who was elevated to the Democrats\u2019 default pick because her graying superior <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/analysis\/joe-biden-says-women-raped-brothers-sisters-loses-train-thought\" target=\"_blank\">insisted<\/a> incestual rape was as prevalent as oxygen?

Still nothing? Ok, how about Willie Brown\u2019s former squeeze?<\/p>\n<p>Ah! That chimed the bell. Well, Harris, who served as dutiful Democratic footsoldieress for decades, is rejoining the fray to \u201cresist\u201d Donald Trump\u2019s darkening populist agenda. Where was she for the past nine months? Definitely not wallowing in a shin-high pool of turned Barefoot chardonnay. No, ma\u2019am! The erstwhile veep spent a season off the front doing the important, preservative work of&#8230; hiring a publicity firm to contract out with a ghostwriter to scribe up a memoir-tell-all-belch-blame book.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Almost an ante-year from midterm elections, with Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/democrat-net-favorability-plunges-near-three-decade-low-poll-shows-2110513\" target=\"_blank\">scraping sheol in favorability polling<\/a>, the outside party\u2019s last standardbearer isn\u2019t roadmapping a path back to power.

On one hand, perhaps no advice is the best advice: Harris didn\u2019t just flub her race; she gave out the Democrats\u2019 long-running moral rejoinder, the popular vote. But on the other, more useful hand, why rejoin ranks to friendly-fire recriminations?<\/p>\n<p>Four words, in the impostured stretched ebonics Harris has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/kamala-harris-father-condemns-jamaica-marijuana-joke-2019-2\" target=\"_blank\">wheezed for years<\/a>: <em>Kamala\u2019s gotta get hers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And <em>hers<\/em> she gets.

Better luck and favor in 2032!<\/p>\n<p>As for Joe Biden, the man who lifted Harris out of the slough of mediocrity, no liver spot is spared. Harris\u2019s hatchet is sharpened to extra shivy for her old boss. The deputy cuts the principal over his \u201creckless\u201d reelection bid that foundered as soon as Biden faced an unguarded, staff-unassisted 90 minutes on stage.<\/p>\n<p>Ego, vanity, vaulted self-conception afflict us all. Kamala kicking her stiletto before a buffer\u2019s walker to remind him of time\u2019s wrinkling sweep would be one thing. But she barely guises her bitterness in the placid prose of recounting events. Harris dishes that Biden seemingly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/kamala-harris-reveals-biden-awkwardly-213831972.html?guccounter=1&#038;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&#038;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJ4gq-_kMTZUBwXgUPglzuDFFXLOQeNwaIOvjfCqsDKf-uQEzZgsMftvGxRvvI10nvAIYxewAj9z9akDscPxlE39ptIaGOf7YcqrwR8dwuXsPe1BgXozDBdj2k30QuXZZsMwPx9D0Z-xGhpTsF3LwFxbhslrNqzsmdwgTWLxEwqy\" target=\"_blank\">sabotaged<\/a> her own debate by dialing her minutes before stage time to accuse her of calumniating him. Then there was Biden\u2019s bemused donning of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/kamala-harris-fumed-over-viral-clip-biden-donning-trump-2024-hat-book\" target=\"_blank\">Trump 2024 hat<\/a>, which Harris understatedly skewered as \u201ccompletely unhelpful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In sum, hell hath no fury like a woman, especially a woman ambling for president, scorned. Few blue pols escape unclouted. (Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear should whisper an orison that his money wasn\u2019t wasted on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/andy-beshear-kentucky-governor-september-2025\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Vogue<\/em> photoshoot<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>But why, at a time when President Trump and Republicans show slippage, did Harris pen a dirt-tossing tract and potentially sog the Democrats\u2019 revival?<\/p>\n<p>A precise psychological concept explains Harris\u2019s irrational behavior, and it can only be found after wading through the complete works of Freud, listening to every Jordan Peterson YouTube lecture at .5x speed, and deep-reading the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition.<\/p>\n<p>The technical hermeneutic phrase: <em>\u2018cause f@%# \u2018em, that\u2019s why<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Josh McLaurin, a state senator in Georgia, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2024\/11\/04\/j-d-vance-profilehttps:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2024\/11\/04\/j-d-vance-profile\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> that politics should be thought of like a vengeance dial \u201cIf you\u2019re a politician,\u201d he elaborated, \u201cyou carry around all these personal grievances and memories of all the things that were done to you, and you get to decide whether to keep that dial turned down or to turn it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kamala could have turned it up to 11, crying <em>\u00e9crasez l&#8217;inf\u00e2me<\/em> to her detractors. Instead, she notched it at 5, leaving a festering corpo-pile of acrimony in the donkey stall.<\/p>\n<p>Political power never comes without pettiness. Harris may have detonated more than a few bridges with her burn book, but if she runs again to lead our foremost party of resentment, count Kamala as frontrunner. She&#8217;s, for once in her Charmin-soft life, earned it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamala Harris\u2014remember
