The Media’s Veep-Stakes Death Match

Patriot Retort: Welcome to the Veep-Stakes Death Match.

Joe Biden, choose your fighter!

Think of it as Thunderdome for the under-qualified and overly hyped.

Though, in reality, it won’t be Joe Biden who will choose his fighter.  The choice will be made for him.  And the political media wants to be the one to do the choosing.

As I said in my post “The Polishing of Stacey Abrams,” I’m fairly certain the political media, still stinging from the DNC failing to nominate one of their preferred candidates, is going all out to determine the outcome of the Biden Veep-Stakes.

Trust me.  They have never forgotten how central they were to the rise of Barack Obama.

And more than anything, they want that King-making power back.

But every 2020 candidate they tapped for the Obama magic failed to deliver.

  3. The GretchenWaffe would win that match. Just toss a box of Popeye’s finest in the far corner and Frau Whitmer can use her billy club on Tank’s gloryhole. Next up Kamala Harris.

  4. Yeah, the media and the Hollywood libs are all of the ivory tower leftist elite. But most of the actual voters are closer to the center, blue collar, minority, and they want someone more like them which means Biden. I imagine they were hoping for a bit more mental stability though.
    I think Klobuchar will get the nod, although I don’t care.

  8. Frau Whilter would have Abrams on the ropes with a few dozen love taps from her baton but Tank Abrams would drive her back and out with a barrage of chicken bones from her latest gorgefest shot through the 2 foot gap between her front teef which would knock the Nazi down and out.

    ““The Polishing of Stacey Abrams” … don’t you know by now, you can’t polish a turd?”

    …sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree here.

    …many years ago, this was a shop floor saying back when we had a 1 shift, all-American opreation and a local management that ACTUALLY wanted to run the business as well as possible. To that end, they DID attempt to identify underperforming workers and limit them to less-important (and less profitable) jobs, and cut them if necessary.

    ..now, it’s NOT my thing to recommend people, ever since I did so ONCE with a guy I bent wrenches with at the Sears I worked at before he left for another job that he subsequently lost, and as I found out he needed work (I didn’t know him personally, but ran into him when he was trying to get back with Sears during the years I was full-timing my new job and part-timing there, it’s both complicated and irrelevant, jus go with it), I got him an interview with my new boss because the dude DID have mech skills and we were just getting established and needed people. Well, a little thing that my new boss found out at an interview I was not at was the fact that this fellow hadn’t mentioned a couple of tiny details, the most salient being that he lost his last job because he, uh, sort of punched out his previous boss over some pay dispute or something, and did a jolt with the County and got fired for some pretty obvious reasons, none of which he felt were worth mentioning to me when I said I’d recommend him.

    Happily, I had proven myself sufficiently to my new boss that I was a good fit, and also he had one hell of a sense of humor (he hired ME, didn’t he? He thought I was pretty odd at interview, but the Sears buddy that got ME on vouched for me, I know, gettin’ sideways again, I’ll stop), so he just let one guy dribble out the revelation and another guy let on that he was SUPER pissed at ME, let it hang for a couple of days, then called me in acting all fierce until he could tell I was mentally trying to figure out who was gonna help me load my toolbox, then he laughed about it and said he wasn’t mad and no, the guy hadn’t actually taken a swing at HIM, neither, he was just tweaking me was all, but kind of a lesson about recommending people too, that skills weren’t enough for the team HE was building. He went on to help me get a veture capitalist’s firms asshole Vice President that hated me fired many years later when they brought him back to save them from bsnkrupcy under said asshole Vice President, but that’s a different story for another day), but as I said, I did NOT like to recommend people as a result. This guy, and all the underperformers that got demoted or cut, gave rise to the unofficial Corporate motto adoption of “You can’t polish a turd”.

    …flash up a few years, and I had a good operator going through a rough patch. I was kind of protective of my good operators because not everyone could do it, and a good operator meant I could concentrate on higher-level stuff (and we had just gotten our first set of robot arms that I had to master), and he was one of my best, and also a good man that was just going through a rough patch in private life that was affecting his performance and attendance, but not in any safety (e.g. drunk/stoned/violent) way.

    They were kind of firm about attendance problems and I was aware they wanted to cut him on that alone, but I was pretty well establised with my aforementioned boss (back when Maintenance ran the plant), and managed to get him some grace just before I went on a vacation to East Tennessee, but if he didn’t shake it off while I was gone, I’d have to have a pretty convincing arguement when I got back.

    “I know you like him, but remember, you can’t polish a turd” was his not entirely unsympathetic parting comment.

    Remember I’ve said many times that God leads me to what I need, when I need it? Well, I’m a bit fond of edged weapons, and one place I liked to visit in Sevierville was knife Mecca. The Smoky Mountain Knife Works. After admiring the militarized cutlery for a bit and selecting some to add to my private slicing arsenal, I took my then young son down to the basement, where they had some historical stuff (he wanted a Third Reich Mark and yes, they had ’em), but they also had fossils we had to pass.

    Which is where we saw the Coprolite.

    Coprolite is the very, very fancy scientific term for fossilized feces. This is dug up, somehow identified as such, and if Science has sufficent quatities to derive Dino’s diatomaceous diet from, the excess excretia is apparently sold, polished, and marketed as Mesozoic souveniers.

    …so yes, they DID, in fact,

    POLISH.
    A.
    TURD.

    …I picked out a nice selection of loose, mineralized, shiny odorless turds, along with a plaqued one something like above, finished my vacay, and triumphantly conveyed my dusproof to my skeptical boss, along with some other arguments, and managed to keep the guy long enough to turn it around.

    …so as I said, friend @ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ, not saying THIS turd can be polished, but I can’t, for reasons just related, let the general statement “You Can’t Polish A Turd” stand, simply because I have had it proven first-hand, metaphorically AND actually…that you CAN.

    …once enough time goes by…

    …and with the Lord’s help, of course…

    “22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

    23 This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.”
    Psalm 118:22-23

  11. Why the hell do unprincipled, insecure, white democrats suck up to pathetic, unaccomplished, undisciplined black losers like this hog body? Good lawd, even unaccomplished blacks gag at the sight of M-1 Tank Abrams. Hello!

  12. dang, SNS … ya don’t have to go get all technical … I didn’t say fossilized turd! … but in Tank’s case I might make an exception 😉

    … it’s all good, bruda

  13. I say he picks Whitmer
    Abrams will just shove him down the stairs and declare open season on Whitey.
    Klobuchar would be the sensible pick. So he won’t do that
    Harris would be a liability because Willie Brown is still alive and can talk
    Hilary. He might as well inject bleach as his life expectancy goes down to about five minutes.
    Elizabeth Warren: He can’t stand the sound of her voice, either.
    Buttigieg: Now there’s a woman that will do as he’s told, but not feminine enough
    Besides, Whitmer has that Nazi Dominatrix vibe.

  18. My God! I don’t know if I’d rather clothe her or feed her. Either way I’d go broke.
    What other qualities does she have other than being a Prog/Commie? We had an Affirmative Action President so now we’ll have a Affirmative Action Vice-President?
