I, for one, expect nothing from VP Harris inher concession other than her normal grace andcharm, and expressions of unity and warm wishes for Trump's success, for the good of the nation.
Oh, God, I shouldn't drink this much during the day, it makes me type crazy stuff.
They're still trying to sober her up...
Waited 20 something minutes, could only watch a couple.
Word Salad Kammie intentionally unburdened by what might have been
She is now burdened by the things she has done.
I wonder if she can finagle in the very fine people hoax one more time.
Kam-kam giving a stump speech. No grace involved. But, hey, it didn't work, the first 325 times, to win the election, but one more time might just do it.
Super uninspiring just like everything else she does.
The good takeaway from her losing is that she now has the opportunity to divorce herself from that wife beater and nanny V-card thief that she married.
She doing her best. I'll give her that. but yesh - yuck.
From the Naval Observatory to Howard University is 4 miles. She has a police escort to get her through traffic. She can't be on time to a location 4 miles away?
Gosh, I wonder why she lost the election?
About two leaves of iceberg lettuce covered with half a bottle of Kraft French dressing.
She looks tired. I did not listen. Good bye, Officer Harris.
. Oh, well. Looking forward to hearing from Joe Biden supporters. Too bad Pelosi and Joe's friends stabbed him in the back, He coulda been a contender, 'cause he's smart, not dumb like everyone says.
Gonna be a word salad ..
Might have missed it but I didn't hear Biden mentioned.
Horrible Leftist Democrats from Colorado want her job. They are worse! #advanced warning.
Very tardy, more word salad. Not particularly gracious concession speech, and given prompt election results late last night, also very tardy call to Trump.
Sore loser. Hopefully we've seen the last of ersatz Doug and Kamala show.
"And I want respect!"
Shorten the salad course. "I tried. I did my best. I lost. Good luck to Donald Trump and may God bless the United States of America." I could write the speech--and she could be gracious. Neither happened, nor in Kamala's case is it likely that it ever will happen.
From the Naval Observatory to Howard University is 4 miles. Even with a police escort, she can't be on time to a place 4 miles away?
Gosh, I wonder why she lost the election?
(This is my second attempt at posting this, since the first attempt seems to have been eaten).
The delay was longer than the actual speech, even if it should have been given last night. Good riddance, you stupid Jez. Not even Democrats will want to hear from you again.
What a perfect opportunity for Inga to barge in with a few stale 2nd-string benchwarmer talking points lifted from a Joy Reid infantile philippic... but no Inga. What's up? Has she checked into rehab somewhere?
Wonder who from her staff she fired today.
He was- briefly. Then again, given the length nothing could be mentioned for long.
When you win, don’t say much. When you lose, say less
This concession speech does not foreclose the possibility that the Democrats will try some sort of fuckery to keep Trump out of the White House. It's not over 'til it's over, and even then it's not over.
I would almost feel sorry for her if she wasn't such a steaming pile of totalitarian kalakala (nothing to do with Kamala-it's a Native American-Washington State word for a steaming pile).
It's funny. I thought Obama was an awful president, but I also feel like I understood him better than any president of my lifetime. Why wouldn't you grab the brass ring when there's a mass of rubes clamoring to give it to you?
Harris is just creepy. The margin of victory can be labeled a thousand different ways but, when it comes down to it, I think that's what denied her the office.
Not a "word salad." That's a misuse of the term. She read a prepared speech someone else wrote.
The salads are served when she speaks extemporaneously.
I'm still waiting for all the votes to be counted to see if the Iowa poll was correct, after all.
Ann Seltzer, of Seltzer and Company really screwed over the Des Moines Register ... making that newspaper the laughing stock of the country, when she predicted Monday a Harris win 47-44 over Trump.
She was wrong by 16 entire percentage points. Possibly the MOST WRONG poll of all time that has been publicly released.
And of course, the newspaper hasn't apologized to its readers for BADLY MISLEADING them and spreading ELECTION DISINFORMATION that was used to try to RIG the 2024 election for Kamala Harris.
Good speech. Very positive compared to other losing candiates, (you know what woman I'm talking about). She looked better in defeat then she did on the campaign stump. It reminds me of MacBeth:
Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it.
She is incapable of writing a speech because she has an IQ below 80. She is functionally retarded. She gets ahead by blowing people.
Soooo, a longer version of "Resist we much!" all over again.
She just needs to pick up the $200 off the dresser and leave.
Harris, Biden, Obama. Always late to EVERYTHING. Total disrespect because people don't matter to them. People are just to be used and then discarded.
Breaking: Bill Maher and Robert DeNiro are being rounded up by Trump officials. As predicted!
/Silly silly insane leftist men.
Scott Jennings' full speech which stunned CNN panel into silence
'This is a mandate. He's won the national popular vote for the Republicans for the first time since 2004. This is a big deal.
'This isn't backing into the office. This is a mandate to do what you said you were going to do: get the economy working again for regular working-class Americans, fix immigration, try to get crime under control, try to reduce the chaos in the world.
'This is a mandate from the American people to do that. I'm interpreting the results tonight as revenge of just the regular old working-class American, the anonymous American who has been crushed, insulted, condescended to.
'They're not garbage, they're not Nazis. They're just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids, and they feel like they have been told to just shut up when they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives.
'I also feel like this electoin is something of an indictment on the political information complex. The story that was portrayed was not true.
'We were told Puerto Rico was going to change the elections; Liz Cheney; Nikki Haley voters; women lying to their husbands. Before that, it was Tim Walz and the camo hats.
'Night after night after night, we were told all these things and gimmicks were going to somehow push Harris over the line.
'And we were just ignoring the fundamentals: inflation, people feeling like they were barely able to tread water at best. That was the fundamentals of the election.
'I think both parties should always look at the results of an election and figure out what went right and what went wrong.
'But for all of us who cover elections, we have to figure out how to understand, talk to and listen to the half of the country that rose up tonight and said: We've had enough.'
Jeez... Her concession speech sounds like something composed by small town Midwestern high school salutatorian: "So let us go forward, fellow graduates, with respect for the past and hope for the future..."
I thought "fight" was a doubleplus ungood word, but she is proposing not policy oppositions but continuous fighting, i.e., violence. She is using the Obama technique of strawmanning the opposition, to somehow support the excesses of her party's political methods and political violence. If there aren't Antifa riots this weekend I'll be very surprised.
Unlike others, I have nothing against Kamala. She's just a lightweight that almost ended up as POTUS due to the stupidity of the Democrat party elite. They don't want a white man at the head of their ticket anymore, and Kamala is what they served up.
When Biden was elected, I assumed that he would resign in 2023 or 2022 and let Kamala take the reins. Thank God he didn't, and hung on to power till almost the last moment. This gave Kamala almost no time to make an impression, other than the one she already had.
Coming out, she looks relieved. Haven't listened to the speech yet, just an initial impression.
She served up another strange word salad and then she claimed that she would virtue signal that she would give Trump a peaceful transition of power … but that’s not her role. That’s Crooked Joe’s role. She is not the President.
One more total lie for sound bytes.
Why our media do not get it. Inga -this is for you, too. wholesale swallower of said Media disconnect.
You know what I would like to see as a concession.
Joe Biden pardon, drop pending charges, and release the J6er's. We are 90% sure that Trump will do that on the first day but the Dems seem to want them for spend another thanksgiving and Christmas in jail - some after 4 years without even a trial.
If Joe wants to atone for the garbage, nazi, and threat to democracy bile that he's been spewing for the last couple of years, he could do that. It would, at least end his presidency, with some dignity and a bit of respect from the other side. Holding on to them when it's really a foregone conclusion what's going to happen when Trump is inaugurated is just sadistic to the people involved.
I caught the last few minutes. Ay dios mio.
What a mess of gibberish, pure Leftist treacle, made worse by her stilted, insincere delivery.
You would think that someone, somewhere, somehow could write her a serious speech. Sorta like a grownup would deliver.
"to my volunteers, who gave so much of themselves..."
Notice that Kamala did not give much of herself, in terms of time, ideas, principles, etc.
The Clintons too, maybe the worst in this regard. Remember when he kept an airport closed while he got a haircut on the tarmac?
Harris mentioned Walz, but she didn't thank him.
12 minutes, suggests she believes that she still has a future in Dem politics. Good luck with that!
Well, they, like her, will be unemployed in January.
I'd certainly consider reviewing pardons if I'd need one myself and for my family. But it would only call attention to him not doing it before. Let President Trump do it, and let the chips fall where they may. I don't even bear a huge grudge against President Biden himself, let him eat the pudding for his remaining years.
But it would be nice to see Yellen, Garland, Blinken, Nuland, and Mayorkas get the gas chamber.
Getting as close as she got to the Presidency is a miracle for her life and abilities, and a mistake for our system. It should be a warning to us about not taking elections seriously. She was uniquely unqualified and dangerous.
I received a text they were gathering tomorrow for 'next steps'....sounds like asshat opposition crap...in no mood...
Not all bad news for Democrats:
Buttigieg was able to violate the Hatch Act yet again yesterday before being kicked out the door on his butt in January.
Just saw Doug Emhoff join her for the walk-off. I didn't recognize him - boy did they keep him in the background!
No Beyonce concert (despite multiple promises), but I think it was a Beyonce tune Kamala walked off to. Good enough for you, rubes? Shoulda voted harder.
"Harris mentioned Walz, but she didn't thank him."
And that is perhaps for the best. Such thanks could hardly be sincere, and Kamala isn't sufficiently adroit to disguise her enmity toward the least helpful Veep pick since... well since Kamala was tapped by the desperate moron called Joseph Robinette Biden. What did Harris do for Walz other than indirectly expose him for the valor thief he is? And how did he repay her? By living down to expectations.
Shorter kamala-la-la-la nothngness
speech: Trump is Hitler and will kill Americans....but hey everybody you are all going to be just fine!
"Just saw Doug Emhoff join her for the walk-off. I didn't recognize him - boy did they keep him in the background!"
Gotta stay out of arms reach..if you know what I mean.
Sounded to me like she is gearing up for another run in 2028. She's going to keep fighting!
Kamala got 14 million less votes than Biden in 2020. How strange. 2020- that is.
Tried to watch. Couldn't do it. What a crock.
And she's still unable to see why her campaigned failed and take responsibility for it. If you don't admit your mistakes, you'll never improve. I suspect that's her life story.
serious question..
Is there a person on earth, that doesn't see that she is an alcoholic?
Yes, that's possible, but finding all those overlooked Harris votes in - what? - 5 States, is going to be tricky.
It will be no concession speech, so we'll probably be waiting for a really long time.
LOL. Just read in the Newspaper of Record that Kamala has urged a peaceful transition of power to Adolph Hitler. That got me.
I also have no animus against her*. I thought she was a terrible candidate, and what we could divine of her policies were nothing I would ever vote for, but I thought the most important thing about this election was that the American people had been lied to continuously for the entire Biden-Harris administration (and before, since it was the media doing a lot of the lying and we actually saw and heard the lies they told about Trump in his first term) and the liars needed to be held to account.
*Except insofar as she was one of the liars, of course.
1. Shorter Kamala: Fight! Fight! Fight! (Where have I heard that before?)
2. Read through the comments. Uniformly negative. Not one supportive comment. Zero.
3. Justice for P’nut. Someone in the comments noticed that at 29:26 a squirrel pops up. Yup.
Unfortunately, that’s the tape of the audience waiting for Kamala. When you click on the Althouse link now, you just get the speech and not the little tribute to P’nut. RIP
a fundamental principal is that when we lose an election, we accept the result.
that principal is what separates us from a monarchy
REALLY? THAT is what separates us from a monarchy?
i thought it was: monarchies don't HAVE elections
Is she really saying,
that Charles.. Didn't accept the results?
that his son James the second.. didn't accept the results?
I'm not really SURE, that not "accepting the results" of elections is what monarchies DO
Haley Dunphy: It's very simple, Kamala. In order to give a good speech, all you have to do is take a song and say it. Like 'Don't Stop Believing', or 'Get This Party Started'.
Kamala: That means nothing.
Haley Dunphy: Who cares? Nobody wants to think, it's a concession speech! A celebration of being done with thinking!
She was impaired. The guy I was meeting with, who had never met me before said it after her first sentence.
Exactly. Was not a word salad. She had to be conciliatory and also give her base something to hand onto. It was a fine speech. Not my cup of tea - but whatevah. I didn't like her use of the word "fight".
That is a signal to the left to go Antifa. Stop that.
I thought so too. At first I thought she was dealing with a stuck teleprompter again.
Video of the P'nut follower streaking across the stage.
So wait a minute. Trump is Hitler, and Kamala is going to assist Hitler's transition to the Chancellorship? Doesn't that mean that she never really thought Trump was Hitler and just lied about it for political gain?
Good to know.
Thank you Leland. That’s fabulous. They’ve radicalized our squirrels.
That was my take. High school graduation speech.
But no worries, Trump will fix it.
If I never have to hear that woman's voice again, it'll still be too soon.
She doesn't know the first thing about making concession speeches. Should be filled only with praise for others, in particular the opponent.
Where was this Kamala before she lost? She was actually articulate and confident in this speech. I don't think she ever really wanted to win anyway. If only she had assumed this demeanor while she was running. Not a bad speech---other than the part where she says she wants a peaceful transition, but then a couple of sentences later talks about continuing to fight.
Well she could have done a 'face it Flounder, you effed up, you trusted us' speech, but that would require self-awareness and she has none. I think she was very hung over or still soused.
"Yes, that's possible, but finding all those overlooked Harris votes in - what? - 5 States, is going to be tricky."
If I were working on the Dem team, I would focus on the closest state first, Wisconsin where Trump's lead stands at 29 thousand as I write this. Get the ballots coming in by hook or by crook and get that 29K overcome by tomorrow evening even if the GOP starts asking where all these ballots come from- just get them into the count so that the media can report that Harris won Wisconsin. Then you get some leverage for delaying certification in Michigan and Pennsylvania giving you time to create some fraud ballots there, too.
I think this is when "Is she drunk?" became an unavoidable question
Maybe she hasn't given up on her dream of being the First Woman President so easily. 26th Amendment, baby! Probably saving her inspiring words for the cabinet meeting tomorrow.
if she believes what she said and had said it during the campaign she coud have won. did she get better writers or is she unburdened now?
So it was a typical Harris speech.
That seems to be happening to some of my posts today as well.
Let's see what happens to his career now that he's been out of the protective cocoon of the Twin Cities media bubble.
"God bless America"? You're at the wrong rally.
According to YouTube, the speech has attracted 16,535 comments -- most with replies. These people are clearly underemployed -- wrote the guy making the one hundredth or so comment on this thread.
My weird and possibly untrustworthy source* told me "the Bidens absolutely back-stabbed her" by not "activating" something (it was a weird, and possibly drunk, text last night around midnight). "The dr hates her."
Make of it what you will.
This is the same source that said that she got addicted to THC gummies after having to go on TV too soon after her plastic surgery due to the George Floyd stuff, and that one of "Biden's fixers" was enabling that addiction throughout her term as VP.
*Said source tipped me off to the John Edwards affair more than a month before it hit the news, but also said that Obama was going to boot Biden as VP in 2012, which obviously didn't happen.
I saw that antifa was doing shit in Seattle today.
She had a walkoff tune?
She’s way too lazy to run again. A professorship where she doesn’t have to actually teach anything seems like a better fit.
Ungracious to the end. There is no way she can get the nomination in 2028 after her dismal performance this year. She now is officially an obscure footnote in the history of Biden’s failed Presidency.
"Unlike others, I have nothing against Kamala." I do, She's a fucking piece of shit Democrat Party member who was constantly slandering Trump and inciting violence against a man who had two assassination attempts on his life, so far. She's a garbage human like most Party members. If after all that has gone on in the past 10-20 years anyone is still a Democrat Party member, then they are a scumbag who supports criminals, traitors, terrorists, pedophiles, murderers, arsonists, assassins, thieves, thugs, and illegals.
