Is it just us, or has Vice President Kamala Harris been even more conspicuously absent from public view in recent weeks? It’s not like we miss her terribly, but an occasional appearance might take some of the spotlight off Joe Biden’s stunning cognitive decline. He continues to show all the signs of worsening dementia.

Sooner or later, the press is going to be unable to hide Joe’s inability to serve in office. Based on the last few horrific weeks he’s had, we think it will come sooner than most think.

Kamala is hardly much of an upgrade. There are whispers she likes her share of adult beverages, and it’s always “happy hour” somewhere. Can’t think of too many appearances when she hasn’t acted and sounded a “bit tipsy”. If you’re an already highly scrutinized American VP, “day drinking” before a publicized event, you may have a problem.

First, we have his deteriorating mental and physical health.

Second is the growing number of corruption scandals. Not that cynical Dem pols, or even Dr. Jill, give much of a care about Joe’s well-being. But if he’s gonna threaten their power, that’s serious stuff.

Harris would need to be on call. And having someone who’s failed at almost every job she’s been assigned, being a faint heartbeat away from the presidency, would inspire very little confidence, especially when awkward, unfunny bursts of laughter constantly punctuate her failures.

Maybe, just maybe, Kam has been silently whisked away to a secret facility where she can be anonymously treated for her problem cackling, possibly caused by too much “day drinking.”

Because, after all, sobriety is nothing to giggle at, especially if you’re next in line to be “leader of the free world.”

Come to think of it, we don’t know if we’d really like readers grinning at this. Even given its conspiratorial nature, it’s just too frightening.
