Coddled affluent professional on X - "In retrospect it looks like they thought they had their ‘closing message’ with the Puerto Rico joke before Biden blew things up by calling everyone garbage. Then they tried to pivot to Liz Cheney (of all things) but you can’t talk about her too long without reminding everyone about all the wars. And now they’re trying to take a second bite at the apple with Puerto Rico. Good luck. No one cares about this stuff. What a mess Kamala’s campaign has been, start to finish."
'SNL' sees Tim Kaine, Pete Davidson cameo in John Mulaney episode - "Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, also appeared on the NBC show during a sketch that poked fun at the idea that everyone has forgotten him since he was Hillary Clinton's 2016 running mate. In the sketch, host John Mulaney played a contestant on a game show that asks players to identify the name of a real person. Mulaney's character is depicted as someone who closely follows politics and stresses the importance of the 2024 election, and he easily recognizes Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Special Counsel Jack Smith. But when Kaine himself walks out onto the set, Mulaney's character is unable to name him. "I was Hillary Clinton's vice presidential running mate," Kaine points out. "At the time, you said it was the most important election in American history and that democracy was on the line. It's been less than eight years. What's my name?" As Mulaney continues to come up blank, Kaine tells him, "You voted for me to be one heartbeat away from the Oval Office in an election more recent than the release of 'Zootopia'!"... Mulaney's character is then unable to name the victims of police violence that he urged followers to remember in 2020, and despite declaring that the country will turn into "The Handmaid's Tale" if former President Donald Trump is elected, he doesn't realize the book's author, Margaret Atwood, has been standing next to him the entire time."

Michael Shellenberger on X - "That @KamalaHarris decided to do a scripted Saturday Night Live sketch instead of sitting down for a substantive conversation with Joe Rogan perfectly captures the vapid, insular, and condescending way she has run her entire campaign."
Michael Shellenberger on X - "For decades, TV networks interviewed candidates and decided which soundbites to show. Now, politicians must sit for a 3-hour-long podcast, which everyone can see, or effectively confess that they're not up for the task, which signals they can't govern. It's game-changing."
Michael Shellenberger on X - "The producer of Saturday Night Live said neither Harris nor Trump would appear on the show "because of election laws." Last night, about 60 hours before polls open, he put Harris on the show in a warm & humanizing sketch. He and NBC violated the equal time provision of the law."

Michael Shellenberger on X - "In addition to illegally boosting @KamalaHarris, NBC's Saturday Night Live last night did a skit *literally* aimed at boosting the name recognition of Sen @timkaine.

Vance calls Harris the Michael Jordan of word salads, says she lies like his young child - "Rogan and Vance were laughing about how Harris "talks in circles" when Vance suggested she says statements about building an opportunity economy like "'We need to build an opportunity economy because if Americans don't have opportunity then they're not going to have the opportunity to be Americans.'" Vance mused, "And it's like what the hell did you just say?" Vance later suggested that this, in a way, can be considered a skill for a politician. "I think that she is the Michael Jordan of using as many words as possible to say as little as possible. There's actually a certain gift that she has because you listen to her talk, and you know you're 100-200 words into it, you're 500 words into it, and you're like ‘What the hell did she just say?’ She didn't say anything!" "It actually worries me about her being president. Like, okay, there are all these substantive policy disagreements, and we could talk about 'Okay I don't like her border policies, I don't like this, I don't like that,' but what does she do when she's in a meeting with a world leader, and she has to, like, know the details of public policy to negotiate with Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping?" Vance asked. "Like, one of the major things that you do as a president is you participate in economic negotiations like what tariffs are we going to apply on your goods unless you lower the tariffs on ours or vice versa. You have to be able to know a little bit about your job to be the President of the United States, and I don't know that she has an ounce of curiosity about public policy in this country, that's what scares the hell out of me." Later in the interview, Vance accused Harris of lying, comparing her to his young children. "My four-year-old and I are making an Oreo cake a few weeks ago. My four-year-old is helping me, he likes to help me out a lot when I bake, and I go to the bathroom and the Oreos that we're supposed to put in the Oreo cake-like crumble them up and put them in the cake-like half of them are gone when I get back. And I'm like ‘Buddy, what happened to the Oreos?’ and he looks at me, and without a hint of irony or shame he says 'I didn't eat the Oreos. You did!'" "That's the way that Kamala Harris lies, is, 'I didn't eat the Oreos. You did,'" he said. "Not only does she actively brag and has her administration actively bragged about trying to arrest her political opponents, she will go out and say that if Donald Trump is the president he's going to arrest his political opponents even though he already was president, and he didn't do that!" Rogan then recalled a recent interview where Harris claimed that Trump would gut the 1st and 2nd Amendments, claims Vance found absurd, especially coming from Harris. "It's crazy the person who wants to-who literally wants to confiscate firearms, Kamala Harris, is saying that Donald Trump wants to take away your Second Amendment rights," he said."
Joe Rogan says Harris sitdown was scrapped after campaign told him she 'only wanted to do an hour'
Kamala Harris knocked for hiring advisor with ties to group that wanted to ban gas stoves - "Energy advocates are knocking Vice President Kamala Harris for bringing on a top campaign adviser with ties to a controversial environmental group behind the effort to ban gas stoves. O.H. Skinner, executive director of the nonprofit Alliance for Consumers, told Fox News Digital that "this is sadly par for the course." "For years the left has been focused on assaulting consumers and the things in their homes. That has included a litany of Biden-Harris regulations and mandates," he said. "From ‘green’ regulations on dishwashers and washing machines to EV mandates and bans on gas stoves, a Harris-Walz administration will no doubt continue to eviscerate consumer choice and force Americans to pay more for everyday products and household appliances that do a worse job." American energy production is a critical issue this election, especially in the largest swing state, Pennsylvania. The Harris campaign has made overtures to energy producers and consumers, saying that her administration would not ban fracking but would reduce energy production costs while investing in clean energy solutions. However, conservatives are knocking her for hiring Camila Thorndike, who previously worked for the dark money climate activist group Rewiring America as the campaign’s "climate engagement director."... Rewiring America is an environmental advocacy group that made headlines in 2022 for its push to ban gas stoves. The group does not file federal tax forms since it is sponsored by the Windward Fund, a nonprofit that is part of the billion-dollar dark money network managed by the Washington, D.C.-based Arabella Advisors. The only public contribution to Rewiring America is a 2020 grant worth $300,000 from the left-wing nonprofit Rockefeller Brothers Fund. The group was founded by Alex Laskey, Saul Griffith and Ari Matusiak in 2020. The three founders have all pursued various wind, solar, electrification and energy efficiency ventures, some of which have netted them millions of dollars in buyouts or received significant federal funding. They have simultaneously advocated for policies benefiting those ventures through the nonprofit. Among its key objectives, Rewiring America has maintained that Americans must broadly electrify their homes to combat climate change and has advocated for massive spending on climate programs. In an October interview with Politico, Thorndike indicated that Hurricanes Helene and Milton were caused by climate change. She told Politico that Harris is "not promoting expansion [of fossil fuel drilling]. She’s just said that they wouldn’t ban fracking," despite Harris repeatedly supporting a fracking ban during her failed 2019 presidential campaign. The climate adviser has a long history of controversial comments, including accusing the oil and gas industry of "ecoterrorism" and calling for Americans in the fossil fuel industry to "consider putting their talents elsewhere" and stop "continuing to cook the planet"... She also previously said she is hesitant to have children because of climate change threats, saying it's an "ethical question that keeps me up at night." Jason Isaac, a former Texas representative and CEO of the American Energy Institute, told Fox News Digital that Harris’ decision to bring on Thorndike "underscores her administration’s hostility towards American energy sources that power our economy and support millions of jobs." "If her campaign’s staff is any indication, we can expect Harris to continue pushing policies that harm American energy independence and target the livelihoods of countless workers," he said. "This isn’t just about gas stoves. It’s a coordinated effort to undermine affordable, reliable energy that Americans depend on.""

i/o on X - "New pro-Trump ad about Kamala prosecuting parents when their kids were truant shows her bragging about it. Some takeaways:
(1) Harris seems to enjoy wielding power too much.
(2) Does she have any consistent principles? The same woman who prosecuted parents for their truant kids also spoke positively about de-policing and promoted a fund that bailed rioters out of jail back in 2020.
(3) Although Republicans are signaling outrage, I can't help but wonder if, had a Republican done the same thing that Harris did, he or she would be praised on social media for being "based". (Apparently, the initiative did achieve the desired effect, and saved California lots of money.)"

From over $1 billion in funds to more than $20 mn in debt: How Team Kamala Harris messed up campaign finances - "Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign team is reportedly facing a $20 million debt, despite having raised over $1 billion and holding a reported $118 million in funds as recently as October 16. The campaign is reportedly struggling to cover staff and vendor payments. Reports reveal that the Harris campaign paid millions to celebrities to support her campaign. According to the Washington Examiner, Harris paid Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions $1 million on October 15. Notably, several A-listers including Lady Gaga, Jon Bon Jovi, and Katy Perry had campaigned for Harris in the recently concluded US presidentials polls in which Donald Trump got a thumping win. Meanwhile, reports claimed that the Harris campaign invested heavily in media appearances, spending six figures to build a set for an interview on the popular Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper. The interview, filmed in a Washington, D.C., hotel room, was released in October. The campaign also allocated up to $20 million for targeted efforts in swing states close to election day, according to the New York Post. Previously, The New York Times reported that the Harris team spent substantial funds flying banners over NFL games to attract male voters in swing states. In a similar move, The Guardian highlighted that Harris’s campaign spent $450,000 per day on ads displayed on the Las Vegas Sphere to appeal to Nevada voters. Despite these costly strategies, the anticipated impact on voter support appeared limited. Sources revealed that these high-cost events and endorsements have depleted campaign resources. The financial strain reportedly led the campaign to cancel a planned performance by ’90s alt-rock icon Alanis Morissette to cut expenses. The campaign’s “Concert for the Vote” series featured major artists like Bon Jovi in Detroit, Christina Aguilera in Las Vegas, Katy Perry in Pittsburgh, and Lady Gaga in Philadelphia, aimed at energizing voters ahead of the election. An eighth concert, held three days before the election on November 2, featured rapper 2 Chainz in Atlanta."
Sad: Candidate Who Bankrupted Campaign Will Never Have Opportunity To Fix Nation’s Economy | Babylon Bee
Kamala Harris ran the Fyre Festival of campaigns - The Spectator World - "As the finger-pointing begins, and the autopsy of the Kamala Harris campaign continues, financial details are being released on how the Harris campaign managed to blow more than $1 billion in war-chest funds — and not only lose, but get wiped off the electoral map by Donald Trump, who ended his campaign with roughly $488 million. That’s not a Dr. Evil typo: Kamala Harris not only blew a billion dollars, but actually ended up $20 million in debt. Where did the money all go? To celebrities mostly, and elaborate sets and stages. As it turns out, not all of those celebrity “activists” appeared with Kamala Harris because they believed in her or were doing their civic duty by getting engaged. They charged fees — and some were astronomical. Harris made elaborate promises to her crowds about celebrity performances. Crowds were brought in with the promise of seeing Beyoncé perform, only to leave disappointed. It was all a financial ruse, much like the infamous Fyre Festival of 2017. For the uninitiated, Fyre Festival was sold as a high-end island music festival and was promoted on Instagram by celebrities such as Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid. Attendees were promised luxurious accommodations, airline transportation to and from the island and expensive food and alcohol. What followed, however, was mass confusion, unfulfilled promises, stranded and hungry people and vendors left unpaid. The lead promoter went to prison on fraud charges. As it turns out, the Harris campaign wasn’t run much differently. As reported in the Washington Examiner, the Harris campaign spent upwards of six figures to build a custom set for her appearance on the Call Me Daddy podcast, which only netted about 800,000 downloads. Meanwhile, Donald Trump appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast — and his interview has got more than 47 million views on YouTube... The pop concert campaign strategy is said to have been the brainchild of former Obama advisors on the campaign. What do they have to show for all of it? The Blue Wall is gone — and Harris suffered the worst political defeat since John McCain in 2008. The goal was to make Kamala Harris the smallest part of her own campaign and buoy it with millionaire celebrities, at a time when ordinary Americans were being crushed by inflation at the grocery store. Now campaign staff and vendors are leaking to media outlets that they are not being paid — and even Donald Trump is now offering to step in and pay them in the kind of brilliant troll move that Trump’s campaign was built upon. While Harris was going broke paying movie stars and pop singers, Trump got more campaign leverage out of three hours on Joe Rogan and thirty minutes at McDonald’s. Kamala Harris will fade into the dustbin of presidential candidates, excommunicated from the party and likely never to be heard from seriously again. Her campaign, however, will go down in American history as the stuff of legend. Enjoy the show!"
Outrage at MSNBC after Al Sharpton took cash from Kamala pre-interview - "MSNBC host Al Sharpton sparked backlash after his non-profit allegedly received $500,000 from Kamala Harris' campaign shortly before he interviewed her last month. Sharpton's sit down with the vice president drew scrutiny at the time for his softball questioning... Sharpton's went on to praise Harris' 'extraordinary historic campaign' in a gushing interview, and branded Donald Trump 'hostile and erratic.' As MSNBC has remained silent amid reports of the payments, critics condemned the scandal and argued the cash led to clear favoritism on Sharpton's part. Billionaire hedge fund manager and Trump supporter Bill Ackman led the charge, telling Megyn Kelly on her show this week the payments were an attempt 'to manipulate the audience.' Another questioned on X: 'Aren't political campaigns supposed to GET donations?' The payments to Sharpton's organization came as part of a $5.4 million fund the Harris campaign dished out to black and Hispanic advocacy groups, ostensibly to help bolster her candidacy among minority voters. However, the move spectacularly failed as Harris struggled among key demographics, including losing seven percent of Hispanic voters and eight percent of Black voters compared to Joe Biden's 2020 totals... Sharpton also drew criticism in the interview as he questioned whether any men not supporting Harris were driven by 'misogyny.'... Another X user argued that it was Harris' celebrity endorsements - which also included alleged payments to stars such as Oprah and Lizzo - 'is one of the reasons they lost.' 'More people started to see through the nonsense,' they said. 'Apparently the Harris groundswell of 'energetic' support was manufactured by lots of cold cash.'"
