One would have to have the proverbial "heart of stone" not to laugh at some poor flunkies scraping Madam President icing off of cupcakes to send as consolation prizes to the shocked and dismayed campaign workers. In more than a week of terrible news and disgraceful performances by almost every Democrat, this little Kamala tidbit gladdened my heart. She is the gift that keeps on giving.
Here's a different take on KamalamaDingDong's book.
The easiest thing to do would have been a soft, sentimental look back. Leave all future political options available. Never make your party, or former co-workers look bad. Instead, for the first time in her political life, KamalamaDingDong pulls out knives.
She was too much of a coward to choose Gay Pete for her running mate, even though she wanted him. During '20 primary, she said Joe Biden was a racist, but clearly didn't mean it as she agreed to be his running mate.
Perhaps KamalamaDingDong's greatest liability is her indecisiveness under pressure (alongside a modest IQ, and cowardice). But here in her book, she boldly steps forward to commit political suicide within her party.
Congratulations. This is a great followup to her throwing $1500000000 in a burn barrel.
No, the easiest thing would have been no book at all. Easier for Kamala, and easier on the book-buying (or in this case shunning) public. Coming soon to a remainder bin near you!
A 107 day campaign doesn't pay people for 'several months' - your claim.
No, it's exactly like a burn barrel. The preliminary forensic study of her campaign showed how poorly it was spent. Large sums were doled out to Dem groups that look a lot like grift. There were several stories written on how Dem donors have declared that KamalamaDingDong shall not be a recipient of their future generosity.
( please don’t answer that … I don’t have enough time to sift through all the answers - I save that time for reading comments to a certain much anticipated Friday morning post by the esteemed Mrs. Vass )
Oh no Kamala Harris has started a substack now there will be competition for the great and erudite professor Hayward but erudite is where you find it and the truly erudite find peace on the streets of San Francisco event though my shoes smell funny when I get back home the home that gives us our base that allows us to unburden ourselves from the fear of falling coconuts so we can again going forth into the world riding busses while sharing my wisdom about all the wheels going round and round the other passengers immediately leave the bus to spread the word to the world to spread the love of wheeling bus wheels to all those who stand against Trump peace and prosperity so we may all again be wrapped in the love of mother government with daddy bureaucracy protecting all from hate speech and viruses we keep the wheels on the bus going round and round and round and round and round and round.
I hope Steve somehow manages to keep this substack alive in the face of such eloquent competition.
As a life-long principled agnostic, I was blown away by how well our best public figures memorialized Charlie while discussing the role of religion in their lives. Not a whiff of dogma and absolutism; everything about how Christianity guides them and gives them moral courage. I came away profoundly reassured that the responsible adults are in charge. I have never felt a closer alliance with the faithful, especially since I watched every speech while sitting next to my devout Mom. From these fine examples it's easy to see how liberty could only have arisen from the Judeo-Christian tradition.
The key term here is "believer." I never thought the remote risk came from the pious celebrating Kirk's faith, but from some of the political speakers (Carlson, Prosobiec, etc) who might have been tempted to score partisan points. Glad it didn't happen.
The President skated unnecessarily close to politicizing it. I wish he'd kept a few comments for later. Other than those few comments, though, he met the moment.
Listening to Kamala read an excerpt from her book warmed my heart. Then as I ran to the bathroom to regurgitate, I realized it wasn't my heart at all. Tricky thing these biological sensations.
Conservative intellectual Rod Dreher wrote today & compared the aftermath of Kirk’s demise to that of George Floyd & The BLM riots. & Kirk was assassinated (no comparison to what happened to Floyd). I am sure others noticed but I did not think about it. & the differences are stark. like Musk said about Charlie - his light, message was extinguished by the forces of darkness.
It was a toss-up between Josh Shapiro and Pete Buttigieg, so she went with the compromise, perhaps even the composite, Tim Walz. Now Tim could prance and jazz-hand with the best of them. He could even fake masculinity--just don't anybody hand him a shotgun. I wonder if Gwen likes the smell of a couple of billion burned dollars wafting through her windows. Anyone reading this drivel will likely be "turning the page" more than reading what's printed on it.
Kamala in 28! It's a date that will live in political infamy.
She proved the futility of filling a position using irrelevant characteristics.
She also proved the truth of Peachy Keenan's tweet. It seems they really thought Walz would appeal to guys like me - who can work on our own trucks - which means they have absolutely no clue about people like me. They thought we would think "sure, he wants to rework society so an incredibly wealthy minority rules over an ignorant drugged majority with no civil rights - but he wears a flannel shirt. He's cool.
The best election night failure is still i 2016 when they cancelled the fireworks display. Had I known that and had the money I would have gone over to the Hudson River and paid them to light up the night sky.

What I want to know is whether they whined over the lack of icing over their wine. Details are important.
Apologies for the double posting. Tech problems.
Isn't the expression "icing off the cake"?
Did they whine about the missing icing over their wine?
I’m sick of sick of reading and/or hearing about her.
"I suppose we are still awaiting the Turning Point riots throughout America that will no doubt start any minute now. . ."
I haven't burned down any buildings yet, but I burned my toast this morning. Does that count?
Yes! Report it to the EPA, you have just contributed to Global Warming with those carbon emissions.

You mean as in just shut up and go away?
Having a ghost writer pen this book in her name is an easy paycheck.
That $1,500,000,000 paid a lot of people a decent salary for several months. That's not putting it in the burn barrel.

Thank you.
Cupcakes and wine?
Once again I’m forced to ask:
What is wrong with these people?!?
( please don’t answer that … I don’t have enough time to sift through all the answers - I save that time for reading comments to a certain much anticipated Friday morning post by the esteemed Mrs. Vass )
Meanwhile, pass the popcorn while we take in the Washington Post’s reporting about the bad reception the book is receiving already
She won her AG race by less than 1%...In Blue California! One MIGHT suspect she slept her way into power.
Suspect?
I'm TRYING to be nice. If I weren't
Scamala: Kamala Harris Unmasked (Playlist)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX_rhFRRlAG6jfeBd1-qsmrM6F2MtRvzW
After 2016 I was saying Hllary Clinton was The Worst Presidential Candidate I'd seen. Then Kamala came along and said Hold My Beer..Watch This.
Now The Question is Who Was Worse Hillary or Kamala? This is a question where honorable people can disagree. :-)

That's a remarkable sentence! 166 words (am I correct?). Not one comma!
That's how she always sounded to me. The first time I heard her it was years ago, and my reaction was "post turtle", IOW "how did she get here?"
Then I learned about Willie.

HughHewitt is a dipstick faux con(servative). No believer ever thought Charlie's memorial service would be a Wellstone redux. Not one!

Probosiec, never. Tucker, yes he did. Disguting "riff" on Jesus' murder.

The NYT has been a bird cage liner and puppy trainer for years. People say, 'it was not like that years past..' - I give you Walter Duranty.
No looting? Damn I really wanted a 98 inch TV.
I had my eyes on a 77" OLED tv at Best Buy.
That's a bit over the $1000 walk in and take it for free limit.
But I live in Fat Alvin Bragg’s district where criminals get to run free

Internal polling by Harris campaign never found her ahead
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/27/kamala-harris-advisers-internal-polling/76626278007/
But “internal analytics” were promising?
What a book…

Kamala refused to pick a gay guy, and refused to pick a Jewish guy. But at least she didn't discriminate against knuckleheads.
She proved the futility of filling a position using irrelevant characteristics.
She also proved the truth of Peachy Keenan's tweet. It seems they really thought Walz would appeal to guys like me - who can work on our own trucks - which means they have absolutely no clue about people like me. They thought we would think "sure, he wants to rework society so an incredibly wealthy minority rules over an ignorant drugged majority with no civil rights - but he wears a flannel shirt. He's cool.
"Here is the 'icing on the cake,' quite literally:"
Not really. It was literally the icing OFF the cake.
I don't think I could stand to read Harris's book, but if I did I might have more than my share of Schadenfreude.
The best election night failure is still i 2016 when they cancelled the fireworks display. Had I known that and had the money I would have gone over to the Hudson River and paid them to light up the night sky.
