There is a lot of chatter on Twitter/X regarding Kamala Harris' bizarre
word salads.

For a long time, people have just assumed she is a moron, and I admit
that this has been my working theory. She rose through the ranks of
Democratic politics on the back of relationships with powerful people,
implying that intelligence was not the driving force in her rise to
power.

She certainly is not charismatic, regardless of what the current
propaganda keeps trying to sell to us. Until the media decided that they
had no choice but to back her with all their firepower, they were
actually quite disgusted by her, probably because of her collapse in the
Democratic race in 2019. They had been 100% behind her and she collapsed
into a heap of dung in that campaign.

Now there is an alternate theory about why she is so incoherent, and
once you look, you can't unsee the likelihood that it is true.

A lot of rumors out there about Kamala having a serious drinking
problem…apparently coming into focus as campaign heats up.

'Is Kamala drunk most of the time? If you watch her talk with that
possibility in mind, so much makes sense all of a sudden. All those word
salads, the occasional slurring, the inappropriate laughs... These are
all tells that her brain is fogged by something, and it may not be
stupidity.

Don't get me wrong; she is not the sharpest tool in the shed, not
playing with a full deck or knocking it out of the park when she takes
an IQ test. But is she as stupid as she seems, or is she drunk?

I vote drunk.

4/ If it's public speaking anxiety, they have meds for that...

Obviously, I don't know; it could be a Xanax addiction, and if that is
the case, that would be potentially worse. Addiction to benzodiazepines
would be easier to hide but harder to actually kick during a campaign.
The withdrawal symptoms are famously harsh, and the period of time it
takes to get better is famously long. It is a remarkably unpleasant and
debilitation process and there is no way to do it while traveling the
country and speaking regularly to large crowds.

6/ Alcohol-induced over-confidence breeds stupid, stupid ideas: Beat up
the bouncer? Why not! Steal a patent? Damn straight!

But seriously, doesn't she look inebriated? She doesn't always slur her
words, but when she does it is remarkably hard to unsee. What the
campaign is trying to sell as "joy" looks to me like inebriation. Not
falling down drunk, obviously, but not sober either.

8/ Why is she telling us her name? That's just #Weird ...

I totally missed this until it was pointed out to me, but I think that
was confirmation bias on my part. I have been seeing her up on the
national stage for five years, and you assume that nobody could rise to
her position without being at the very least sober when in public.

But then again, she didn't exactly rise to where she is by being
especially good at politics. She was carried there by others who were
pushing her up the mountain, not hiking up it by herself. Since it
didn't take skill to get there, maybe even sobriety wasn't required.

10/ Kind of hard to take her seriously on 2A when she's like this...

Of course, the same could hold true with my new hypothesis. I could be
seeing inebriation instead of stupidity because I am primed to see it.
Somebody threw the hypothesis out there because it fits what we observe,
and once I saw it perhaps I see every idiotic moment in that light.
After all, I have no access to her blood alcohol level and no way to get
proof that she has been drinking.

"What's wrong with Aunt Kamala?"
"Oh nothing, honey, she's just really happy."

And it would seem odd that this has been successfully covered up for so
long. But then again, Tim Walz's drunk driving lies were covered up for
decades, as have his serial lies about his service record.

If the media doesn't want to see it and the people who are tied to her
professionally don't want to say it, it will not be said or reported. It
really could be that simple. Lots of things get swept under the rug all
the time.

Apparently Kamala was told not to speak during this event because she
was too intoxicated, but she did anyways. https://t.co/yN7vzILiE0

Watch clips of Kamala's bizarre moments over the years and see for
yourself. I would be very interested to know if others have the same
impression. '
