"Kampala"

"Why was the name of Uganda’s biggest city trending on Twitter Tuesday night?"  Because of 'damn you, autocorrect', and not Tommy Chong.


In an evening Tweetstorm of snark and snidery, that was hardly the best.


Maybe Susan Rice was a bit too ... I don't know, swampy?


She'll probably make a fine secretary of state, in the Mike Pompeo tradition.


Anyway ... most of the Donkeys are happy this morning.


Kamala was, after all, the easy choice.  The safe choice.  It seemed as if Biden wanted somebody else, but this piece suggests that it was pretty much hers all along.  If you believe what Obama was tipping, anyway.  (No mention of Klobuchar there, I note.)

Seriously, the KHive brings it, and Trump is somewhat lost for insult words.  'Nasty' and disrespectful' (#3 in this list) aren't gonna play like they did against Hillary four years ago, especially since he donated to Kamala's campaign for CA AG.  Oops.  I'm less sure about "Phony", as that happens to be progressives' primary complaint.  Michael Goodwin at the NY Post is a conservative asshole, but his critique here is mostly spot on (replace "violent radicals leading riots and looting" in the last graf with "police and unidentified federal goons beating up peaceful protestors", for one example).

Let me close this out with two questions I look forward to hearing the answer to:


A White House Update is forthcoming, with more about the other candidates in the presidential race, and less about the duopoly.
