Wow, Peter, you’ve really expressed the issues absolutely perfectly! I’ll bet you are a very good public speaker, and you could do Karine’s job better - except that you wouldn’t lie, obfuscate, or tap-dance around issues, all of which are apparently required for the job.

One of the hardest things to change is someone’s ‘mindset’. Once they’ve been indoctrinated and twisted into certain thought processes and underlying premises, they can’t even see their logical fallacies and their idiocies. Their speech then becomes Orwellian, where ‘war is peace’, and ‘compliance is freedom’. I’ve watched over my lifetime as the government mindset has become stunningly bureaucratic. They think that if ‘the funds have been allocated’, that means the job was accomplished! Yet ask the hurricane survivors and they’ll tell their stories of FEMA putzing around without actually fixing much.

And this?

“You have to formulate a reasoned and reasonable answer to a question on the fly, at least sounding as if you are answering the question, while avoiding stepping on any toes or rhetorical...”

That’s exactly what Harris cannot do! If she can be coerced into giving interviews and answering hard questions on the fly, she will be exposed as the mediocre flunky she is. Trump wins!

He can't do Karine's job. He isn't "diverse" enough to even be on the list. Discrimination is rampant in this administration.

Well it is true I can't identify as a black lesbian. Piers Morgan already beat me to it!

Well, I don't mean to brag....oh what the hell, yeah, I'm going to brag...

Yes, I am damn good at handling Q&A.

Because I take the time to know my issues and know my talking points.

Hey Peter, check out today’s Honest Media Substack, which has cross-posted from the Kennedy Beacon. They are starting an open forum that may interest you as a pathway for your ideas to reach policy makers:

“Rather than rely on think tanks and establishment interests to frame the agenda of the incoming presidential administration, the forum is embracing an “open-source think tank” model to ensure the best ideas reach the White House.”
