The Kamala interview that wasn’t

George Rebane

Last night CNN’s prerecorded 18-minute interview with Kamala Harris, with attendant training wheels Walz, was a giant nothing-burger – a disappointment but not a surprise.  While Kamala was asked some decent questions, she predictably dodged all of them as did her partner in perfidy.  What galled me the most was how she was allowed to bullshit her way out of the question about her manifold and desperate flip-flops on policies she championed in 2019 and her new ones with which she now apes Trump.

Her response to this line of questioning by Dana Bash was that “My values have not changed.”  And I almost gagged when Bash allowed her to skate with that.  Bash’s next question should immediately have been, ‘That may be, but the whole country has witnessed you doing 180s on your previously championed policies, and it will be your policies and not some ephemeral values that will impact the American people.  On what new evidence did you base your policy pirouettes?’ – or something in that vein.  Kamala’s lame answer again confirmed the low opinion that Democrats have of their loyal, yet demonstrably and reliably ignorant, constituencies who regularly swallow such answers with nary a qualm.

This brings me to my general complaint about the dismal state of today’s journalism that primarily includes the conservative media like Fox News.  Starting with lead political anchor Bret Baier, none of them are either smart or quick enough to follow up Democrats’ stated allegations about Republicans, wrong-headed realities, etc with ‘Sir, you’ve just stated an unsubstantiated allegation to my question ‘On what did you base your claim that …?’.  Please tell us again on what evidence do you base this and similar allegations you have made.’  Always ask for evidence when offered allegations.

Such a follow-up question will inevitably expose bullshit, and may even lead to a more productive discussion.  Instead, our stalwarts of the Fourth Estate just calmly soldier on to their next question to receive a similarly dissembled response by the progressive pundit/politician being interviewed.  And in the end, the interview has again turned into a non-interview in which the devious interviewee’s non-responses were not even exposed.  We viewers (well, some of us) expect to receive such performances on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, … .  But having to regularly consume them on outlets that attempt to champion the Right is downright nauseating.

I wouldn't breathe too much into this interview. There will be others.

Don't forget, Trump was a Democrat before he was a MAGA Republican.

RFK was a Democrat before he endorsed Trump.

People can change.

"I wouldn't breathe too much into this interview. There will be others."

The interview edited to 18 minutes with Democrats refusing to release a full transcript with prereleased questions by a captive newscritter with an emotional-support VP candidate?

lol. Yah, sure there will be. Make a note of it.

Meanwhile Trump, love him or hate him, talks without notes to scads of people for long periods of time. Some is BS, some is exaggeration, some is things he won't actually do, but there's a certain amount of transparency here.

Just admit it, everyone let the party allegiance fall for a sec. The Democratic Machine had a damaged candidate, replaced him with another damaged candidate for various reasons, is going to do whatever it takes to win. I expect they will. The Laptop Class running the country deserves to be ruled by these people...their children mutilated and taught sexual fetish in school, the 3rd World pouring in, Western Civilization denigrated and statues toppled, Pride Flags everywhere like some big Nuremberg Rally for men-in-dresses, money pouring from your enemies to your friends via insane tax law and clever grant writing, 100% off sale at burning strip malls.

A person smart enough to stay out of the way of the beast can have a helluva good time. It's like watching Godzilla smash Tokyo.

Eulo 1021am - Note that I do not denigrate her changing her mind (recall Lord Keynes famous answer), only that she can give no basis for such dramatic changes. And it's in the context of the bases for such changes that voters need to know and decide whether she is a clear and knowledgeable thinker or just another opportunistic wind-vane changing directions in political turbulence in her desperate attempt to get elected.

“The values that held the Democratic Party together are no longer there. It’s held together by a sense of tribalism and a great, great sense of orchestrated fear of Donald Trump. It’s the only value that really dominates any discussion…The Democratic Party doesn’t trust the people. That’s why they have to get rid of elections. That’s why they had to get me off the ballot.”

"Publicly, he called the Republican presidential candidate an "idiot" and said he was "reprehensible." Privately, he compared him to Adolf Hitler.
But by the time the former president tapped Vance to be his running mate on Monday, the Ohio native had become one of Trump's most ardent defenders, standing by his side even when other high-profile Republicans declined to do so." - Reuters

Trumps re-post is being blasted all over the internet. What an idiot Trump is.

"Another contains a blatantly sexist attack on Vice President Kamala Harris, who is shown in a monochrome photograph alongside former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. A comment below the photo reads, “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…”

Trump does not appear to have created any of these images. But he liked them enough to repost them to his personal social media feed, signaling that he stands by their messages enough to use his large platform to amplify them."

...and, oddly enough, you thought he did.

My theory is that you just look at a few of your favorite all-outrage-all-the-time sites, pick out the heinous Trump items, run over here like a child and spray George's blog like a feral tomcat.

Never research, never look up anything, probably haven't read a book since forced to in junior high (WASN'T THAT CLEVER HOW TOM GOT EVERYONE TO PAINT THE FENCE??!!). A life consisting of I and V7 chords will do that to a person.

I do have to admit that the vision of Kamala Harris under Willie Brown's desk while he's on the phone to Pete Wilson is a funny one though. Maybe Crabb can work on a cartoon.

"I wouldn't breathe too much into this interview. There will be others."
Oh, don't worry - there wasn't enough of any substance in that ad paid for by CNN to "breathe" into.
Paul and the Hillbilly haven't got any idea of what will help to improve our nation other than a daily round of Trump-Hate.
The Dems have their perfect candidate. Harris will do whatever she's told and unlike Biden, never had the intelligence or cunning to engage in corruption like Biden. She can't give any specifics of what her admin will do since no one has told her yet.
It all really doesn't matter. Our nation is headed for the collapse of the dollar no matter who wins. The 2 sides of the blob just argue how fast it will occur.
In the meantime the proles are kept on the sidelines having to expend time and money dealing with perverts wagging their junk in front of minor girls and SCOTUS judges that don't know what a woman is.

You are really sounding depressed and pathetic knowing that Trump is going to continue his record breaking losing streak and the Republican party is on the verge of a total collapse. The Dems are riding high after slipping in Kamala after showing Biden the back door and leaving Trump[ helpless as he is unable to cope with the situation.

Seeing intelligent people like Scott believing and supporting the loser Trump is a sad thing indeed. What ever happened to Conservatives in the Republican party? Do any of you honestly think Reagan would be a Trump supporter?

Scott is blind to the flip in the polls since Biden pulled out and Kamala stepped in and it's just begun. Trump is literally running for his life so he'll do anything th win. It's either he wins or it's off to the slam for him with around 90 felony charges filed against and him with around 35 charges already found guilty by the jury . That leaves around 50 still to go.

[Scott O]

"Scott is blind to the flip in the polls"

"Scott believing and supporting the loser Trump..."

Believing what, Paul? I'll bet there are statements made by Trump you believe or are you going to tell us you believe nothing he says?

You have zero proof of these statements you fabricated about me, Paul. It must be fun to live in your little fantasy world where you just make up crap as you go.
Reality must truly be painful for you.

"It's either he wins or it's off to the slam for him..."
I would think they will stay sentencing him until after his appeals are heard. The charges against him are bogus. Even Dems who don't like Trump have admitted they are.

Not so fast @649 -

Elections analyst and FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver believes that former President and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is the slight favorite to defeat Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris this November going into Labor Day weekend and the home stretch of the campaign.

The model update suggests that Trump has a 52.4% chance of winning the Electoral College while Harris has a 47.3% chance of prevailing, making Trump the favorite in Silver’s model for the first time since August 3.

According to Silver, the “one big reason” for Trump’s advantage is Pennsylvania, which he identified as “the tipping-point state more than one-third of the time” in his model “and where it’s been quite a while since we’ve seen a poll showing Harris leading (including two new polls today).”

Bill Maher Mocks CNN for Harris-Walz Interview: “They Wonder Why the Kids Get Their News From TikTok”

https://currently.att.yahoo.com/entertainment/bill-maher-mocks-cnn-harris-034807111.html

New York Post
Off-script Kamala blows it in the swing states

Harris especially hurt herself in the places it matters most: Those key swing states.

A flip and a flop
Take Harris’s answer on her flip-flopping on a myriad of issues: “Dana, I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed,” Harris replied.

“You mentioned the Green New Deal. I have always believed, and I’ve worked on it, that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time.”

And if Harris believes the “climate crisis” is real and her values haven’t changed, then shouldn’t we believe the 2019 version of Kamala Harris when she declared she would absolutely ban fracking, end the fossil fuel industry and end all offshore drilling?
If you’re a Pennsylvania voter, how do you feel about that?

Speaking of fracking, Harris also referenced a 2020 debate where she claims she said that she supported fracking.

One problem: She dropped out of the race before she got to 2020, so she must be talking about her October 2020 debate with then-Vice President Mike Pence.

A review of that transcript, however, shows no such statement being made.

In other words, she knowingly lied.

By the way, Harris’ sticking to her values also means she’s all for electric vehicle mandates (not popular in Michigan), abolishing ICE (not popular in Arizona), banning private health insurance, supports mandatory gun buy-back programs and supports sanctuary cities, while providing free healthcare for illegal immigrants (not popular anywhere except San Francisco).

As for a press conference with questions from all sides?

No chance before Nov. 5.

Luckily for voters, when that debate happens between Trump and Harris, Kamala will also have to go much, much longer toe-to-toe with Trump than the 18 minutes she gave to CNN last night.

That debate is scheduled for 90 minutes.

No cheat sheets allowed.

And again, no teleprompter.

Because, as we just witnessed, Kamala Harris without a script becomes a human Chernobyl.

“And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

Oh well, that's just the nature of politics. She's fishing for a few votes in a few areas just like any sane person would do.

You get to look moderate, which she and her child mutilatin' VP choice most certainly are not, but also bribe some ambitious Republican to come help you somehow. Liz Cheney comes to mind. Those Cheneys really are something, it would be to the benefit of the American public if they just stayed home.

It's funny to me how the blow-up-the-world US foreign policy establishment just up and moved over to Team Blue. Two lessons here. (1)The neocons were never bound to old-school 'murican virtues and (2)The Democrats are fine with bombing the 3rd World in an endless game of Risk. Maybe the ideal (D) candidate would be a transgender Woodrow Wilson.

quotes of the day:

"Nancy Pelosi states that the goal of the Democrat party is to convert undocumented immigrants (illegals) into documented immigrants:
Bill Maher: "The CA lawmakers giving government assistance to undocumented immigrants to buy houses.
That's kind of a different place than the Democrat party used to be on immigration, is it not?"
Nancy Pelosi: "Immigration had always been a bipartisan always."
Maher: "Not free houses."
Pelosi: "It's not free houses, it's the American dream being available to more people."
Maher: "This is for the undocumented."
Pelosi: "I would like to move them to documented."

The open border policies of the Biden Harris administration were not a bug, but a feature of their system to convert illegals into votes."

"I don't see how it's the rule of law when you have a district attorney, Alvin Bragg, who's elected on a promise to get Trump, he then takes what is, at most, a bookkeeping misdemeanor that's passed the statute of limitations.

He turns that into 34 felony charges on a legal theory that was never explained to the jury, and then basically, Trump is convicted in a sham trial by a hyper-partisan New York jury system.

I don't think it's rule of law if Trump is prosecuted on a documents charge that Biden himself is guilty of. He's got all these documents in his garage for decades."

“Kamala, we have been treated with the utmost respect, compassion, and understanding by President Trump, something you and Joe Biden have refused to do since August 26, 2021,” Hoover said in his video. “Where were you and Joe Biden on August 26, 2024? Nowhere near Arlington Cemetery. You couldn’t be bothered to be with us or even say our kid’s names, just as you had done for the last three years. Neither one of you have called to speak with us or share in our grief. I wonder Kamala, do you sleep at night securely in your bed or do you have nightmares of our kids because it was your incompetence and negligence that got our kids murdered? It is you who sent out messages on social media that are outright lies. It is you that has disrespected our families. It is you who knows nothing about service and sacrifice. It is you that has divided this country. And, it is you who is unfit to be the commander-in-chief. These are the only memories we get to make with our son. And, it is you who is playing politics and trying to detract from our memories made that day.”

He didnt see it coming -

On Friday, billionaire Dallas Mavericks minority owner and hardcore left-winger Mark Cuban pushed out a poll to his 8.8 million followers in an effort to attack Donald Trump. But it seems likely he didn’t expect the outcome he got.

He gave his followers the choice of “Donald Trump” and “Kamala Harris.”

Actor Nick Searcy quickly jumped onto the basketball billionaire’s X post and presciently predicted that the poll would not go how Cuban hoped.

Unfortunately for Cuban, a Harris supporter, Donald Trump won this poll, and not by just a little, either. Trump’s lead was double that of Harris.

"DONALD TRUMP VOWS TO BE A DICTATOR ON DAY ONE.

WE WON'T LET HIM"

- Kamala Harris on X

I admit that it's pithier than saying:

"KAMALA HARRIS VOWS TO PUT ALL WHITE MEN IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND GAS THEM.

WE WON'T LET HER"

Political messaging is funny stuff, it's always worked. Gotta get them peasants riled up.

I was musing about how broadcast media and 'scientific' salesmanship have allowed strange things to happen. Modern politicians are poor orators, poor writers, poor leaders, although it could be that Trump is a natural. There is no way in the world that George Bush II, Obama, probably Trump, would have made it in the 19th C. Kamala Harris would have been a prototypical fishwife.

It's the age of unlettered, gracile 'leaders'.

[Don Bessee]

So the slide begins for the hyena -

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign is going on defense as former President Donald Trump gains steam in blue states after Harris’s failure to achieve a post-convention bump, which most modern campaigns take for granted.

The campaign is sending Harris and her top surrogates — ticket mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and husband Doug Emhoff — to blue states after a weekend of planned swing state visits.

On Wednesday, Harris will reportedly visit New Hampshire — where she enjoyed only a four-point advantage, according to an Emerson College/WHDH survey before the convention — for a campaign event yet to be announced. Walz will be in his home state of Minnesota, where Trump has cut Harris’s lead from ten to only five points since Walz joined the ticket, according to two KTSP/SurveyUSA polls. Emhoff will reportedly cross the Potomac River for a fundraising trip in Virginia, another state where Trump has polled unexpectedly strong in the 2024 cycle.

An occasional detour during the usual long campaign season is not irregular. However, these trips are noteworthy for a nascent campaign only cobbled together after President Joe Biden’s implosion that must make every day count with barely two months before Election Day.

The blue state visits follow a weekend of planned swing state visits and, before that, a multi-day joint Harris-Walz romp through Georgia that left many pundits scratching their heads.

The unconventional scheduling is on the heels of a terrible week, highlighted by the campaign’s trashing of 13 Gold Star families — an attack that blew up spectacularly in the campaign’s face.

Thanks for posting this scenes. Here's the direct quote from Trump;

“We love this guy,” Trump said of Hannity. “He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.”

Scenes, thats a direct quote from Trump the guy you support for President.

Was Trump just joking when he said this?

"Former U.S. president Donald Trump said he would pardon "a large portion" of the people involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in a CNN town hall on Wednesday night.

Trump also declined to express regret for the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol. He called Jan. 6, 2021, a "beautiful day" and said the crowd he spoke to before the attack "were there with love in their heart."

"I am inclined to pardon many of them. I can't say for every single one because a couple of them probably they got out of control," Trump told CNN host Kaitlan Collins.Former U.S. president Donald Trump said he would pardon "a large portion" of the people involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in a CNN town hall on Wednesday night.

[Gregory]

What's a "deadly" attack, Punch?

Embellish much?

[Gregory]

So, Punch, there's a riot on Jan 6 2021 where no one died at the hands of the rioters.

Why lie about it?

[Paul Emery]

Gregory and Scenes, the question is do you personally believe that a "large portion"of those involved, as Trump contends, should be pardoned and in fact are not guilty of any crimes?

[Gregory]

Why did you have to lie about it, Paul?

[Gregory]

So, Punch, is it your position that none of the Jan 26 rioters deserve pardons?

[Gregory]

That's Jan 6...

[Paul Emery]

Lie about what Gregory?

[Gregory]

I was pretty clear about that, Punch. See my 307p.

[Paul Emery]

I never said anything about responsibility for the death of anyone. Can you show me where I did?

None deserved pardons Gregory if they were illegally in the Capitol on jan 6. Once they stepped inside they were guilty. Do you believe thy should be pardoned?

[Gregory]

"What's a "deadly" attack, Punch?"

Paul @ 323pm. Yes

[Paul Emery]

How can you say they were not guilty of a crime Barry? The Capital was broken into and the police were overwhelmed. Once the doors were open hundreds flooded in. For example if someone breaks into a house anD a bunch of other people come in the opened door would they be legally there? How can you say that would be legal?

You keep ignoring what you referred to in your original... "deadly attack".

It wasn't a deadly attack, was it, Punch?

[Scott O]

Paul - " Once the doors were open hundreds flooded in."

And if no law enforcement warned them they were breaking the law and they walked right back out, what is the problem?

Wow - trespass. Better put 'em in irons, huh?
Remember that Kamala was bailing out violent rioters.
But that was "good" rioting, right Paul?

[Gregory]

So, Punch, is it your position that none of the Jan 6 rioters deserve pardons?

[Scott O]

Hey - it worked for Biden:

"And I am not lying to you, that I would make so many greens, that I’d need to wash them in the bathtub. I’m telling you the truth.” Harris said."

Paul - when do you think Harris was washing collard greens in a bathtub? Was that when she worked at Micky-D's?

[Scott O]

OK, this is weird - from DK:

"Too many readers on Daily Kos have a weird belief that the NYT and Washington Post are telling them the truth. Wrong! They are owned by billionaires and elites that want to keep the doors (us) in line. That's why they're giving Traitor Trump millions, if not billions to convince you that their fascist and authoritarian plans are normal.

Stop it. The corporate MSM (owned by billionaires supporti Traitor Trump) and right wing billionaires own the rest of American media. So, therw usually is nothing positive on American media about the Dems. Who cares?

Realize that American media is supporting GOP lies 100%. Don't sweat it. Realize the lie and move on. It's a fucking lie. You don't have to refute it because they won't explain it. Call a lie a lie and move on"

The owners of the NYTs and WaPo are giving Trump billions of dollars?

"...American media is supporting GOP"

Let's assume the writer means the "news" media.
Maybe give a few examples?

What's going on at DK? Drugs? Desperation? Panic?

They were convicted of a crime that involved breaking into the Capital and illegally entering and disrupting a legislative process causing elected representatives to run to safety. Did you se the footage of them smashing in the doors that were being secured by the police? They have the right to appeal but a Presidential pardon? No that would not be proper under the circumstances. What was their justification for breaking into the Capital that would justify a Presidential pardon?

[Scott O]

Just keep talking, Kamala:

"And the system that is a good system is one that supports that and allows people the opportunity to go where they can see and imagine themselves to be."

Paul "They were convicted of a crime that involved breaking into.."

Really? All of them? They were convicted of breaking into the building?
How many were convicted of breaking into the building, Paul?
You claim to be the expert. Tell us how many people actually broke into the building?
And how many just walked in past the police who said nothing to them as they walked in?
It was a tiny handful that smashed the windows and doors and many of those never went in.

What is the "Argument" you refer to Scott? The Capital was broken into and a mob entered the Capital causing legislators to flee to safety, Are you denying that happened Scott?
