Said Kamala Harris, to Stephen Colbert (scroll to 6:02).
Colbert said it is "harrowing" to hear her say that. When she responded: "Well, but it's also evident, isn't it?... It is harrowing..." Colbert broke in to rescue her. It sounds as though she's saying that she doesn't "want to be part of the fight anymore."
She takes the hint: "No. Oh, absolutely not. I am always going to be part of the fight. That is not going to change. I am absolutely going to be part of the fight."
And then she plunges into a Biden-worthy garble: "But I think that we have to acknowledge and agree that I mean, look, the power is with the people that is, that has always been the the the ideal and and or I say the strength of our nation, of America, that we believe fundamentally the power is with the people."
Notice how she even says "look" the way Biden did.
And then Colbert helped her again. When she said "the power is with the people," Colbert intoned "We the people," and she solemnly echoed, "We the people."
At 8:50, she says: "And it is important I think that in in this moment where people have become so deflated and despondent and afraid and afraid that those of us who have the ability which I do right now not being in an office where I'm campaigning for that office to be out there and to talk with folks and remind them of their power...."
Maybe some day I'll be out there, and there she'll be, roaming the country, talking to people, and I'll see her and think: You remind me of something. You remind me of my power.
Finally, they get around to talking about the book she's on the show to promote:
Harris: "Um I mean there's it's there's a lot of personal stuff in the book. I mean, poor Dougie."Colbert: "You... blowing the lid off of Doug. What's going on?"Harris: "For example, my birthday's in October. The election's in November. Ha ha ha ha. You see where I'm going?..."
Yes. You are going into political oblivion.

Democracy says she's done, and so is he.
Power to the people!
The system SHE helped build is broken, and the Progressives are seeing the chickens coming home to roost.
This book tour reminds every one of the existential threat the country dodged last November and offers a glimpse into why it may need to get ready to dodge another one in '28.
"I think it's broken"
Clearly, she is unburdened by what she helped break.
Disappearing is the best role for all these assholes though I don’t expect they have the talent to follow through. By the way it isn’t a ‘fight’, you’ve put yourself out there and failed. You were rejected..:
Loser talks to Loser.
Perfect.
Kamala reminds many of us of our power - which we exercised to put Trump in office instead of her. She should understand that "we the people" got who we wanted, and it wasn't her.
Is this what Colbert’s show will be for almost a year until it’s demize? Defeated lefties in struggle sessions? Crikey! Pull the plug already…
Democracy doesn't work ... says Kamala. It's broken. Evidence: I lost. If Democrats lose, it's not because they're fucking idiots. It's not because their ideas are literally insane. It's not because they're whack-jobs who should ideally be put into rubber rooms.
Cut Principal Skinner to conclude that no, it's the children who are wrong.
So what is she proposing as an alternative? She doesn't have to. She knows Colbert is hand-jobbing her and he's in the tank. So he's not going to ask those uncomfortable follow-up questions that reveal that we probably shouldn't count blowjobs on people's resumes when we're in the voting booth.
Not sure I ever watched much of Colbert. He reminds me a bit of the Stanley Tucci/Caesar Flickerman character from Hunger Games. Similar vibe.
When people tell you it's THEIR Democracy, believe them
Earnest airhead. There really is no there there. Even today, no one in the Democrat blob can say that out loud. Maybe because that is the core of Democrat Party?
This the top democrat?
"You see Gentlemen, this is my last press conference. You're not going to have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore".
Seen the last of Kamala? Hmm...words to remember.
Kamala is just doing the standard thing. Hey, I'm not running for POTUS. 2028? Too far in the future. Right now, I want to listen to the people.
It sounds as though she's saying that she doesn't "want to be part of the fight anymore."
Her gubernatorial announcement the other day mentioned "fight" about 7 times. But the TV host was afraid she still wasn't pugilistic enough.
cf said, "Loser talks to Loser. Perfect."
Man who lost employer $40 million asks for tips from woman who lost employer $1.5 billion.
"I believe and I always believed that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. "
Waah? I thought OUR democracy was strong and resilient. A big, strong, tough guy who beat up dictators and produce equality and liberty for all. But now, I realize its a weak helpless baby. A wimp. Maybe, we need something better than OUR democracy.
Even hardcore Democrats are not stupid enough to support this airhead.
Actually, they did not support her before. She was selected not elected.
C: You're serious? You're really thinkin' about quitting?
K: The life? Most definitely.
C: Fuck. Wachoo gonna to do then?
K: Well...that's what I been sitting here contemplating. First I'm gonna flog this book. Then, basically I'm gonna walk the Earth.
C: Wachoo mean, "Walk the Earth"?
K: You know, like Kane in Kung Fu. Walk from place to place, meet people, get in adventures.
C: And how long do you intend to walk the Earth?
K: Till the poll numbers put me where I need to be.
C: And what if they don't do that?
K: If it takes forever then I'll walk forever.
If there is any real sign that the system is broken, it’s that she made it into national prominence in the first place. That we even know the name of this babbling idiot is a symptom of the national ailment.

Skimming through this video:
1) Kamala loves to talk with her hands. Did she learn that from Doug?
2) Her hair looks great. People assume she's using a "Hair topper" or add-ons.
3) Facially she doesn't look 1/2 African American.
4) Go to 14:12 and you'll see why Colbert got cancelled. He goes on a 1 minute screed that could've been written by a DNC press agent. Calls Trump a "barbarian", talks about the "Joy" of the Harris administration. No humor. No brains. Just Democrat propaganda.
With each passing year, the man becomes more of a simpering toady. Has he no self-respect?
If Harris were telling the truth she would have said:
‘Running for U.S. President or California Governor is like any other entrepreneurial enterprise: Those incapable of attracting investor capital are dead in the water. It’s as true for fourth-rate politicians as it is for fourth-rate comedians.’

"…Maybe, we need something better than OUR democracy.”
How about a constitutional republic based in no small part on Natural Law principles and English Common Law precedents?
Finally, Colbert returns to comedy!
Last comment. This is going to be the way it will REALLY work. The Democrat Party elite, aka the big donors, will look at the field early in 2028 and decide who they want. They will then get behind that person and push the product.
The D's will have some debates and a few rigged primaries, and then the Democrat robot voters will fall in line and support the elite choice. They always do.
There is no massive "Bernie bro" vote. There is no "Rebel alliance". There is significant 'Socialist left". Democrat voters are just low information dumbshits who just hate Republicans or vote their indentity. Or they want a piece of the graft.
Begins her political career with a blow-job and ends it with a tongue-bath.
Perfect.
“I want to I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people. I want to talk with people.”
Well, she’s traveling alright, but according to yesterday’s post from the NYT, the only people she seems to want to talk to are rich donors attending weddings and other upscale events.
Power to the right people. Who are the left people.Who are being left by We The People who are going right. Which is unimaginable. A man can become a woman; a man can give birth. That's imaginable. Progress means "move to the right politically"? That's unimaginable. To move to the right is to regress - that's a physical law. Yet power to the people is also a law of the universe and the people are moving to the right. Madness. Darkness at noon. Perhaps if I plunge into the people as into the great roaring salt sea I will return with the knowledge my tribe needs. I will arise and go unto Whole Foods throughout the land and by the beds of arugala and the key lime groves, I will find a soft-spoken man with a quiet face and he will say magic words, other than "The left, as we know it, is a human political project which has run its time." I shall return with vital words and cry out unto my people and the people shall return to the Left which they have left.
It's been a harrowing experience for her, and harrowing is exactly what you need when there's a new seed crop of word salad to get in.
wendtbar writes, "The system SHE helped build is broken..."
I must disagree. The only thing Ms. Information has built–ever–is a mountain of debt.
Harrowing the field helps the seeds germinate.
That's what I've been told but then, I'm no farmer.
Neither is Colbert.
Whose career has gone to seed among these?
Only the future knows.
Bad captains chitchat
Passengers and crew left stranded

Just goes to show: someone can be smart … and a dimwit at the same time. Kamala and KBJ.
Quod erat demonstrandum.
“I want to I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people. I want to talk with people.”
Yeah, we’ll be seeing her at the Moose hall in Cedar Rapids, listening and talking. Uh huh.
Democracy could have been saved if we had jailed and taken off the ballots that man that most people voted for. It's so obvious. If we can get everyone to vote the right way, our American democracy will be beautiful.
The leadership of the party is far to the left right now and what passes for a centrist candidate is Gavin Newsom and all that centrism is a basic fraud. I think the nomination is AOC's to lose right now. She is just as dumb and empty-headed as Harris but is a superior retail politician if the voter base is the Democrat registration.
That haiku hath too many syllables…
The, um, system will pay her handsomely for her, um, dumb fake book.
But, um, screw the system, man.
Clouds dim the moonlight
The croaking swamp falls silent
Old woman trips. Splash!
The corrupt democrat party must win thru some sort of cheating. why? People are waking up to their scam.
Thru endless counting until the results flip, and thru illegals voting... and dead people too.
The corrupt left are destroying democracy,
Bob Boyd at 812 - very nice.
"I think the nomination is AOC's to lose right now. She is just as dumb and empty-headed as Harris but is a superior retail politician if the voter base is the Democrat registration."
Not white - check
Vagina - check
Airhead - check
Yep...she's a shoo-in

She is ridiculous. No wonder CBS altered her interview to help her.
Can you imagine Kamala up against JD Vance?
Leland at 7:29 beat me to it, but here is John Lennon’s Power to the People. Power to the People. Right on!

I have the perfect job for Kamala. She should succeed living fossil Eleanor Holmes Norton as the delegate from DC to the House of Representatives. Totally powerless with the right to yack to her heart’s content. Send this girl to Washington! The woman and the office have come together! Imagine the joy! Let the brat be the brat!
But I think that we have to acknowledge and agree that I mean, look, Trump is with the people, not the Democrats.
Give Mamala a talk show, where she can speak her nonsense about silly things.
While on the road to the White House, Doug really wanted to boink some nannies - but he put democracy first.
they tried to kill me
they used courts and a bullet
this I can tell you
the colonel of haikus
I sure hope Kamala leads the Democrat party down the drain in 2028!!!!! MAGA!
Road to Kamala
Wash away your troubles
Wash away your pain
With the reign of Kamala
Wash away your sorrow
Wash away your shame
With a vote for Kamala
Ah ooh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ah ooh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Everyone is woeful
Everyone goes blind
Under the Reign of Kamala
Everyone’s unlucky
Everyone is in a bind
Under the Boot of Kamala
How does it feel now?
Your damn vote for Kamala
This is for real now
This mistake called Kamala
h/t Three Dog Night
Thank you all for your
Attention to this matter
It’s the systems’s fault
I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it.
That was hard to watch. Gave up after three minutes. Do you suppose Colbert and the politicians he brings onto his show believe the applause and shouts they get from the studio audience are genuine and reflect the views of the wider population? If so, it would explain a lot.
Today is the first day of the rest of the day.

☝️Kamala finds her niche☝️
She's the poster child for failing upwards. In no sane world would she have reached the height of political power that she did.
Stephen Colbert in better days.
Kamala Harris in better days.
"It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day."
-Kamala Harris
What are we doing, again?
I don't know. I'd love to see Kamala go "listen to" people in small towns like Oxford Kansas-population stuck at somewhere between 1,000 and 1,100 people for the last hundred years or so, or Carrollton Missouri. Heck, even Muncie Indiana the "Middletown" of the 1940s social survey.
There's a whole world out there of which Ms. Harris knows not--and never will. Decent folks just trying to live their lives--preferably with as little interference from the likes of Kamala Harris as possible.
“What are we doing, again?”
You know… the thing…
I wish she'd knock on my door as part of her listening tour. After inviting her in and offering her a refreshment, I would - very respectfully - explain to her why over half of the country views her as a worthless POS, and why the Democrat party is bereft of ideas or principles that can possibly make this country successful.
And thanks for listening, have a nice day. You keep fighting, girl.
The bush she's beating around:
'I can't take another beating. I just can't.'
It sounds like "Colbert: The Harrowing" won't be a very scary movie.
*
Politics is phony people pretending to be authentic in predictable ways that only confirm their artificiality.
*
Divided country: when Kamala says she wants to travel the country and talk to the people, she means specific parts of the country and specific types of people -- places and people very different from those William Jennings Bryan or Harry Truman visited and talked to.
She was in power for 4 years and her party was in power 12 of the last 16 years. But yeah, the system is broken.
She was a terrible pick for VP when Biden picked her because of her skin color and sex. She was a terrible VP. And she was a terrible choice for Presidential candidate foisted by the Democratic party upon the electorate.
When Kamala walked out in her green pants suit, it occurred to me that she is much easier to take than Hillary Clinton.
Kamala thinks she is profound when she talks, but she isn't shrill. She rose far above her ability, but she doesn't come across as a manipulative harpy.
Green pants, blue pants, or pink pants, they both qualify as Pantsuited Pantloads.
Truth be told, the Democrats Fucked Around and they will hopefully continue to Find Out.
AMFs. (Which of them has the better future?)
With each passing year, the man becomes more of a simpering toady. Has he no self-respect?
C'mon. He's in Hollywood and he gets paid $15 Mil a year. What's a little self respect next to that?

Dems best bet is Newsome/Cortez. Although, both are doing social media and may be providing enough stupidity to sink them.
Colbert viewership has increased. since firing.
Won't last once curiosity is satisfied.
Yes. The system was broken. Guess who's now trying to fix it, bint?
I suppose the publisher insisted that she provide a few "revelations", to help boost sales. The book can't possibly be all sludge and faded flowers. There's got to be something in it, right.....
Disraeli wrote a few readable novels to boost his career in the off season. Churchill, at times, made his living as a journalist and historian. He won his Nobel for Literature, not peace. The Morris book praised some of the books that TR wrote......I think I've exhausted the list of successful politicians who were worthwhile writers. Did I leave anyone out?........Is there a soul alive who looks forward to reading the Harris book. Maybe, the movie will be better if it features Hale Berry in a few explicit scenes that dramatize Kamala's back story..
I think I've exhausted the list of successful politicians who were worthwhile writers.
Ulysses S. Grant.
"Did I leave anyone out?.."
Teddy Roosevelt. Excellent writer. And so was Herbert Hoover.
And Woodrow Wilson wrote a best-selling history of the USA before he became a Politican.
Nixon wrote a few good books. JFK was a best seller writer of history/politics - not sure how much was ghost-written.
Its been a big decline after Nixon.
Julius Caesar
The fight. It’s always about the fight. What are they fighting for? They don’t know. It isn't about a specific principle. They fight because they want to fight, and they want to fight all those other “we the people.”
She's like Chauncey Gardner without the simple wisdom underlying the bland cliches.
When Democrats are out of the power seat, the system is "broken". When they wanted to import millions of replacements, they claimed the immigration system was "broken".
Same people jettisoned Biden when he flopped on the big debate stage. Then they appointed Kamala, instead of holding an abbreviated primary election do over, probably because the primary system was "broken".
