Europe just lost a huge percentage of its energy supply, which is not a small thing. We’re all being reminded of that. So, this situation appears to become more chaotic by the day, possibly even spinning out of control and that, we must be honest, is shocking to us. We’ve been taken by surprise by the whole thing. We’re not the only ones who were, but we’re willing to admit it. The only thing more embarrassing than being wrong in your estimates is pretending that you weren’t. So, why didn’t we see this coming, this total loss of control? Well, because we assumed that if things were dire, serious people would be involved in fixing them, but we looked up and we saw Kamala Harris involved, and that reassured us.
Harris had just come back from Europe, where she’d been conducting “diplomacy with our allies,” and that appeared to be proof this could not really be a big deal. The situation in Ukraine had been legitimately serious. If the future of Europe and the world hung in the balance as now so obviously it does, of course, the Biden administration would not have sent Kamala Harris to fix it because that’s not her job. Kamala Harris’s job is to trot down to the Blue Room periodically to greet delegations of TikTok influencers or to cut occasional PSAs for the Children’s Dental Health Awareness Month, which is in February. So, we assumed she’d be working on that right now.

That’s how Pete Buttigieg, a guy who can barely drive his own car, wound up in charge of all of our roads and so all these people got their jobs. It was intentional. Now, Washington has worked this way to some extent for a long time. It’s just that under this president, the principle has reached its horrifying, but logical, endpoint. The last president hired Michael Cohen to be his personal lawyer, but the difference is Donald Trump didn’t make Michael Cohen the attorney general of the United States.
Biden absolutely would do that as long as Cohen was transgender, and you know that. So, it shouldn’t surprise you, though it should horrify you and make you nervous that, according to The Hill newspaper, Kamala Harris is going back to Europe to see how much worse she can make this disaster. She’ll be heading to Warsaw, Poland, and Bucharest, Romania, to “show solidarity with Ukraine,” which means to badly damage key American interests in inventive new ways you haven’t yet imagined. That’s what’s going on: a crisis that gets more grave by the day, whose ramifications are clearly more serious than anyone expected, overseen by people who have no wisdom or foresight or restraint and fundamentally don’t have the interests of our country at heart when they make their decisions and Kamala Harris isn’t the only problem, but she’s the most glaring symbol of it.
