Kamala Harris Reveals Her Possible Next Move, and You'll Be Rolling on the Floor Laughing

 RedState   

"We need to guard that spirit. We have to guard that spirit. Let it always inspire us. Let it always be the source of our optimism, which is that spirit that is so uniquely American. And let that then inspire us by helping us to be inspired to solve the problems that so many face." Kamala Harris

"What will Kamala Harris do next? That's been the question bouncing around since she suffered one of the most embarrassing presidential election defeats in modern history. 

"Despite having a billion dollars to spend over a three-month period, making her dollars go further than basically any other candidate in modern history, and having the press so in her corner that they laughably tried to remake her as a cultural icon, Harris still managed to not only lose, but lose in an electoral college landslide. In a sane world, the question wouldn't be what she does next. It'd be where she retires to while she collects lucrative checks from various corporate boards. 

"But this is 2025, and that means a Democrat never truly fails. They can only be failed, and that's left the former vice president searching for a new gig. Will she run for Governor of California? Will she bide her time to run for president again in 2028? Both seem like absurd options given how awful of a politician she is, but there's another option being weighed: Opening an institute of policy and ideas." . . .

NYT: Kamala Harris, known for her deep knowledge and ability to articulate complex issues, is thinking about launching "an institute for policy and ideas."

Kamala Harris is a mean girl   . . ."GovTrack’s non-partisan report card rated Senator Kamala Harris as the furthest-left congressperson, even further left than self-avowed socialist, Senator Bernie Sanders. Harris continued her pro-abortion — and even pro-infanticide — rabidity while serving in the Senate, voting against the Born Alive Infant Survivors Protection Act, which simply required babies who survived abortion to be given medical care. The bill did not restrict abortion at all. Even so, Senator Harris voted “no.”

"There’s no other way to say it: Kamala Harris is mean. And like any mean girl, she enjoys calling those she doesn’t like “weird.” That’s her moniker for Trump and Vance — beloved fathers who, unlike Harris, have spent years building things bigger and better than political careers. Trump is a successful businessman and an adored grandfather. Vance is a veteran, entrepreneur, acclaimed author and family man whose story typifies the American Dream. Kamala Harris is a vengeful, power-hungry bully who calls normal “weird.' ” . . .

Why would anyone be a Democrat?

 Bob Weir  

"If you’re a Democrat who is sensible enough to know that men can’t give birth to children, why don’t you take a stand against the crazies in your orbit?  Are you so morally bankrupt and cowardly that you would remain silent simply because you’re a member of a political party and don’t want to hurt your chances for re-election?" 

Rich Terrell

"The 2024 presidential election was a seminal moment in our history.  It did more than provide a wide margin of support for one candidate over another.  It spoke volumes about how deteriorated our culture has become when the issues of the campaign were as polar-opposite as love and hate.  President Trump talked about closing the southern border in order to stop illegal immigration, whereas Biden/Harris told us the border was secure, notwithstanding daily videos of thousands of illegals forcefully streaming into our country.  The Biden administration was telling us that inflation is transitory while consumers were paying double and triple prices for goods and services.  How deluded were the Democrats to think their party could win by denying everything that was occurring right before the eyes of all Americans?

"Moreover, after they suffered the devastating loss, they continued to fight against all the issues that Trump ran on, and that voters overwhelmingly supported.  As promised, President Trump got to work quickly by issuing hundreds of executive orders.  By the way, did you ever think, in your wildest imagination, that a president would have to issue an order proclaiming that there are only two genders?  How about an E.O. declaring that men can no longer participate in women’s sports?  He even needed an E.O. to stop the flow of illicit drugs across our borders.  During a saner time in our history, such actions would have been part of the normal order of government business.

"It makes me wonder why anyone would be a Democrat and have to defend the insanity of the radical left in his party.  Isn’t there anyone with the courage to speak common sense to the extremists within?  That so-called “Squad” of reprobates, who evince obvious hatred for the country they were elected to serve, appear to have an iron grip on the other 200-plus in their party." . . .

Democrat party now the biggest threat to world peace and freedom   . . ."Part and parcel of that is that, ironically, it is the biggest threat to democracy in America. It wants to abolish the Electoral College, dispense with the filibuster, make Puerto Rico the 51st state, grant statehood to the federal District of Columbia as well, pack the Supreme Court — and make it illegal to ask for I.D. at voting/polling places across the fruited plain, thereby inviting massive fraud and effectively disenfranchising countless citizen voters.

"On top of all this, it seeks to further eliminate its political opposition by fabricated character attacks, perpetual lawfare, and even assassination.

"But even this is not enough." . . . There's MORE?

Democrat party now the biggest threat to world peace and freedom

Eric Utter

 "Most of you know the names: Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Gavin Newsom, Tim Walz, J.B. Pritzker, Kathy Hochul, George Soros, et al.  Hopefully, this doesn’t come as a shock to anybody, but these are not good people.

  "I have been quite blunt in my writings here over the past five years or so -- about the state of the nation, the West in general, the nature of the mainstream media, Democrats, and the hoaxes that the latter two have foisted on us.

"I have repeatedly noted how Democrats lie, gaslight, and project (their favorite tactic.)

"But I now have to say something some will consider patently extreme, and others may judge to be simple hyperbole: the Democrat party is the biggest threat to the planet -- on the planet -- today.

"Allow me to explain.

"Part and parcel of that is that, ironically, it is the biggest threat to democracy in America. It wants to abolish the Electoral College, dispense with the filibuster, make Puerto Rico the 51st state, grant statehood to the federal District of Columbia as well, pack the Supreme Court — and make it illegal to ask for I.D. at voting/polling places across the fruited plain, thereby inviting massive fraud and effectively disenfranchising countless citizen voters.

"On top of all this, it seeks to further eliminate its political opposition by fabricated character attacks, perpetual lawfare, and even assassination.

"But even this is not enough.

"Democrats seek to strip Americans of the inherent rights granted to each of us by our Creator. The right to free speech, assembly and religious association? Not if Democrats don’t care for the speech, cause, or religion involved. (You’re screwed if you’re a conservative Christian, for example.) The Second Amendment? Nope.
Whatever God granteth, Democrats taketh away. Or try to.

"And it isn’t just the formerly United States that suffers because of this. It has recently become crystal clear that Democrats and their favored big government and Deep State institutions are zealous proponents of wars and forever wars around the globe." . . .

A Bad Year for The Wall Street Journal

Ann Coulter  

"Trump’s a good negotiator. How about he makes this deal with the Journal: His mass deportation force will allow one illegal alien rapist to stay for every WSJ editorial writer who self-deports?"

Tony Branco

"Who was Monday worse for? MSNBC, The Wall Street Journal or people on the streets of D.C. selling M.L.K. merch?

"I say the Journal. MSNBC hates Donald Trump and opposes him no matter what he says. He could come out against sinkholes and MSNBC would have to be for sinkholes. Monday was just another day at the lunatic asylum.

"But the Journal is supposed to be a Republican newspaper and, for decades, its most impassioned advice to Republicans has been: more wars and, above all, more immigrants!

"Then along comes a New York Times-Ipsos poll — consistent with a half-dozen other polls over the past year — showing that Trump’s single most popular issue is his “mass deportation force.” And Trump’s second most popular issue is his promise to stop intervening in other countries’ wars — for example, by sending billions of dollars to Ukraine.

"Both of these positions would be different from yours, Wall Street Journal.

"Nearly 90% of Americans (87%) support deporting illegals who’ve committed crimes. About two-thirds (63%) support deporting the illegals who’ve come in the last four years under Joe Biden. A clear majority (55%) support deporting every illegal in the country — or as the Times puts it, “everyone living in the United States without authorization.” In other words, illegals just lost the Electoral College vote and the popular vote.

"But since the 1990s, the Journal has been denouncing “the GOP’s anti-immigrationists” for sending a “cramped, pessimistic message,” and exhorting Republicans to be like Ronald Reagan, who “celebrated immigration.” (This was back when the illegal alien population was estimated to be about 2 million, compared to well north of 40 million today.) The paper routinely champions Republicans who adopt the WSJ/Ramaswamy position that any given immigrant is better than any given American. Then, they invariably go on to lose.

"Trump, the biggest “anti-immigrationist” of them all, got more votes than pro-immigrationist John McCain. Today, more Hispanics want to deport illegals than voted for either Trump or McCain. Is it still the official position of the Republican Party that winning is preferable to losing?

"Most recently, the Journal was flacking for the Democrats (and one idiot Republican from Oklahoma — what’s the matter with you, Oklahoma?) and their so-called “border security” bill that would have written into law the entire Biden policy on immigration. Which was to defy existing written law on immigration." . . .

Joe Biden: The Most Dangerous Man in America

 For the next three weeks America must watch a Biden presidency with nothing left to lose.  

"His foreign policy was feckless, emboldening America’s adversaries around the world.  A humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan told every enemy all they needed to know."

"Joe Biden is now the most dangerous man in America.  He has nothing left to lose and no support remaining but that of America’s far Left.  He and those acting in his name are no longer constrained by concern over legacy and have the expansive powers of the presidency at their disposal until Donald Trump is inaugurated on January 20.

"Had it not been for his presidential aspirations, Joe Biden’s Senate career would have been memorable only in Delaware; his legacy would have been longevity. But presidential aspirations raised the legacy bar, even as Biden repeatedly failed to meet it.

"His first two failed presidential runs were marred by plagiarism in 1988 and a gaffe of a slur of Obama in 2008.  Still the second failure was somehow enough to allow him to fill the traditional role of vice president — being what the nominee is not — for Obama. For eight years he was more Obama’s comic foil than copilot.

"His third failure at the presidential nomination followed in 2016, when Obama withheld his endorsement in favor of Hillary Clinton.

"Not until 2020 was Biden finally able to break through to the nomination as a Left-heavy Democrat field split their support and allowed Biden in by the back door.  It also revealed his presidential fate early on: the closer he got to the presidency, the less he was seen to measure up to it.

"Biden won the presidency the same way he had the nomination: by backing into it.  Despite a global pandemic, nationwide lockdowns, civil unrest, and his own absence from the public, he won the electoral college by virtue of 77,000 votes spread over four states.

"Once in the White House, Biden continued to measure down.  He rapidly racked up a legacy of failure across his presidency’s policy areas." . . .

. . ."That an incapacitated president was allowed to stay in office for years is surely the greatest scandal in the history of the U.S. presidency.  Again, Biden’s legacy found plumbed new depths.

"By any objective measure, Biden has no presidential legacy left.  It is no longer clear to what extent and for how long he was even president.  Therein lies the danger of his presidency’s remaining days." . . . 

Biden Regime Has Nothing to Lose   

But this time, you should expect whoever is running the Biden administration--God knows it isn't Joe Biden--to do as much damage as possible on the way out because there is no way to damage Joe Biden's reputation any more than it already has been. 

 . . ."Biden was always a tool of those who really ran the show, and nothing can be done to save his reputation. So why not use him without regard to his future reputation? His reputation is in tatters, will never be revived, and he will shed his mortal coil soon enough. And, most of all, he is barely sentient and largely unaware of what is being done in his name. He may be lucid enough to take orders from his wife to pardon Hunter and may still be aware enough to love poking Donald Trump in the eye, but I doubt that he is paying much attention to matters not near and dear to his heart. 

"Some of these efforts can be undone quickly by Trump, but I expect that we will learn that many of them will take a massive effort to undo once they are found."

Stuck On Stupid Democrats Plan Boycott of Inauguration [Or wear matching protest items?]

PJ Media  

"The bottom line here is that any Democrat's decision to boycott Trump’s inauguration isn't about principles—it’s about partisan pettiness. Their obsession with vilifying Trump has blinded them to the importance of setting an example for the country. Americans expect their leaders to rise above partisanship, not wallow in it." 

Democrats love outfits.

"For years, Democrats have made a spectacle of their disdain for President Trump at every opportunity, so it should come as no surprise that once again, Democrats are planning to boycott his inauguration. The same thing happened in 2017, when they skipped Trump’s inauguration because they claimed he’d stolen the election with the help of Russia. Now, after Trump won a landslide electoral college victory as well as the national popular vote, Democrats are once again coming up with excuses to skip the event. 

"According to a report from Axios, more than a dozen congressional Democrats have announced that they're going to skip the event, citing reasons ranging from “safety concerns” to personal principles—which is hilarious coming from any Democrat. This shameful display of partisanship not only highlights the left’s inability to respect democratic processes, but also exposes its penchant for theatrics over governance.

"Many Democrats justified their boycott by invoking the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, despite the fact that Trump had nothing to do with it and had called on his supporters to protest peacefully. Representative Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the J6 committee, referenced Trump’s “rhetoric” against him as his rationale. 

"Whatever, he won’t be missed.

"Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) claimed her decision stemmed from “concerns” about her “safety” as a Latina—weird she didn’t use Latinx—citing Trump supporters’ presence at the event. Gimme a break.

"This fearmongering doesn’t just insult millions of peaceful Trump voters; it reinforces the Democratic strategy of smearing political opponents as inherently racist. 

"Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) conveniently chose Martin Luther King Jr. Day events as her reason to avoid the inauguration. Something tells me that if Kamala Harris had won (God forbid), Omar would have found the time to attend the inauguration.

"Again, she won’t be missed. Frankly, I’d rather she and her brother not attend." . . .  Read more...

To Move Forward, Democrats Must Oust Obama

John Kass

"Obama honors himself at every opportunity. But he is America’s one-eyed jack. And we’ve seen the other side of his face."

"The historic political comeback of Donald Trump has left Democrats largely unable and unwilling to process what they’ve done to themselves.

"Yes, they whine and cry and emote, like wounded adolescent narcissists, because that’s all they can do.  What of cold-eyed analysis that might compel them to make difficult choices and save what remains of their party? No. They’re afraid. That is beyond them now. They’re locked in their doom loop.

"In granting Trump the White House through an electoral college landslide and popular vote, American voters also made it clear that they were fed up with leftist ideology. This includes allowing criminal gangs to bring poisonous fentanyl over the Democrat open borders, to those do-nothing Soros prosecutors and the crown signature jewel of the Marxist Obama left that eviscerated merit and used racism to awarded American resources:  DEI."But how did America get to the point where Republicans, once the country club white shoe party of the Bush family, could begin to wrestle with Democrats for the votes of the working class, minorities and women? How did the Republicans win so decisively?

"It was Trump. What he did in remaking the Republican Party is simply astounding. But first he had to politically eviscerate the Bush family political dynasty that controlled the GOP. And so he relentlessly attacked Jeb!, then the standard bearer of the Bush clan for the disastrous war in Iraq, which slaughtered  thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis while wasting trillions of American dollars on this and other endless neo-con forever wars." . . .

Should Biden Resign And Make Kamala Harris The First Woman President? I&I/TIPP Poll

Issues & Insights 

“There’s a sense that we tried to jam Vice President Harris down voters’ throats instead of hold an open primary,” one official said. “This certainly wouldn’t make that feeling go away.”

"Both before the November 5 presidential election and after, there’s been plenty of talk about President Joe Biden stepping down and making Vice President Kamala Harris America’s first female president. Despite ardent backing from Democratic Party stalwarts, the idea isn’t a popular one, as the latest I&I/TIPP poll indicates.

"Some Democrat activists, humbled by the Electoral College drubbing they took from former (and soon to be current) President Donald Trump, have pushed hard to have the age-hobbled Biden step down from the office of the presidency so that Kamala can take over and make history — and also, perhaps, to make a big noise that would steal some of Trump’s pre-inauguration thunder.

"To find out who supports the idea, the online national I&I/TIPP Poll asked 1,436 adults the following question:

“Which of the following do you believe is in the best interest of the country?”, followed by these choices: “Biden should finish his term,” “Biden should step down and hand over the presidency to Harris,” “Biden should be removed from office using the 25th amendment,” and “Not sure.”

"The poll, taken from Nov. 7 to Nov. 8, has a margin of error of +/-2.6 percentage points.

"A majority of Americans — 54% — say they do not want Biden to leave office, they want him to finish his term.

"And only 16% say he should voluntarily step down and let Harris become president.

"For the first time since we started asking this question, more than half of all voters want Biden to finish the 10 weeks remaining in his term." . . .

"The View" much discussed lately

"I can't stand the show or the people on it but I disagree with canceling it because of their political views.

Let their ratings decide their fate" Reader comment

‘The View’ is a pointless, irrelevant, Trump-loathing joke — cancel it   . . ."But those who watch “The View” aren’t so lucky.

"Every day is like that for them — a relentless assault on their eardrums from a bunch of partisan obsessives competing with each other over who detests Trump most.

"Their nadir came the day after the election, when to their horror, the man they’ve spent years branding a vile, bigoted, racist fascist won absolutely everything: the popular vote, the Electoral College, the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives.

"In a truly farcical gesture of brazen bias, the six hosts all trotted out in funereal black clothing because they were in mourning.

"And yet, ironically, it was their own professional funeral that they were almost certainly attending." . . .

‘The View’ Hosts Forced to Issue Four ‘Legal Notes’ in One Episode over Trump Cabinet Selections

The View Advises Americans Not To Engage With Relatives Who Voted Trump

"Whoopi Goldberg, one of the lying hosts of The View has advised the viewers that the show still has left to shun their own relatives if they voted for President Trump.

"The remarks came during a discussion about Yale University chief psychiatry resident Dr. Amanda Calhoun saying on Joy Reid’s show that leftists who are reeling from Trump’s landslide victory should ignore family members who voted for him." . . .

Top Democrat Leader Obliterates The View’s Reasoning for Why Trump Won . . ."A top Democrat leader put the ladies of The Views’s remarks to bed after they suggested that “racism” and “misogyny” cost Vice President Kamala Harris the election. 

House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) pushed back against claims that President-elect Donald Trump won over voters because of his stance on race and gender. Instead, he argued that the incoming president won because he promised to fix the nation’s economy.

"Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Jeffries what lessons the Democratic Party was taking away from their loss this election season, with the panel questioning why a “convicted felon resonates more with Americans than a hyper-qualified woman of color." . . .  (Emphasis mine, TD)

. . ."However, co-host Sunny Hostin refused to believe that Trump won because of his America-first promises. She pressed Jeffries, asking if he believed sexism and racism played a role in Harris’ loss. Jeffries, though, refused to take the bait." . . .
