Axios: Kamala Harris Is Leaning Towards Running Again in 2028;
Unnamed Democrats Are Attacking Gavin Newsom to Deny Him His Coronation

I'm a pessimist, so I never believe that the best possible outcome will come to pass just because I want it to. I never believed, for example, that Biden would wind up being the nominee in 2024, despite my intense desire that he be so.

But Kamala Harris is making me focus on what can be, unburdened by what has been.

Maybe this dingbat ding-a-ling really will run again -- and maybe the most important cohort in the Democrat Party, black women, will give her the win.

What, did you just fall out of the coconut tree?

LOS ANGELES -- Kamala Harris isn't planning to go gentle into that good night. This week the former vice president made clear to potential 2028 rivals that she's working to keep another White House campaign viable.
Why it matters: Despite worries from party leaders and donors that she can't win, Harris remains at or near the top of most 2028 Democratic primary polls. She also has strong support among Black voters -- the most critical voting bloc in most recent Democratic presidential primaries.
Driving the news: After lying low the first part of this year and then embarking on a 2024-focused book tour, Harris made several moves this week that many Democrats see as the beginnings of a 2028 campaign.
Her book tour expanded. Harris announced many more stops on her tour to promote "107 Days," her story of her short presidential campaign last year. Tour stops in early 2026 will include the historically critical primary state of South Carolina and cities with many Black voters, including Detroit, Jackson, Miss., Memphis, Tenn., and Montgomery, Ala.
She appeared before the Democratic National Committee. Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, mingled with national party officials and state party chairs in Los Angeles this week during the DNC's winter meeting.
At a reception Wednesday evening, DNC chair Ken Martin introduced Emhoff as the former second gentleman and quipped that he could be the future first gentleman, people who heard the remarks told Axios.
Harris is rolling out new rhetoric.
She railed against both parties and the status quo in a speech Friday to Democratic officials. Many in the room told Axios they were struck by how different Harris' remarks were from her Biden-defending message on the campaign trail last year.
"Both parties have failed to hold the public's trust," Harris said. "Government is viewed as fundamentally unable to meet the needs of its people.... People are done with the status quo and they're ready to break things to force change."
...
What they're saying: Harris spokesperson Kirsten Allen said Harris "will approach 2026 with the same commitment that anchored 2025 -- listening to the American people, reflecting where leadership has fallen short, and helping shape the path forward beyond this political moment."
Allen added that includes "supporting efforts to win back Democratic majorities in the House and Senate."

She'll be appearing on leftwing church elder Jimmy Kimmel's televangelist show next week.

Meanwhile, unnamed Democrats -- though we know with 100% confidence they're supporters and employees of the likely candidates Pritizker, Bootyjudge, Harris, and even the Fiercely Heterosexual Spartacus Booker -- are planting disparaging information about Gavin Newsom in their allied press.

They're even attacking him as... too left wing???!!?!

Gavin Newsom's Democratic rivals are plotting how to take down the early 2028 frontrunner, with a heavy emphasis on how unpopular his left-leaning views are outside deep-blue California.
Driving the news: Our conversations with more than 20 Democratic operatives, including several working for 2028 hopefuls, reveal that they see the California governor as the guy to beat -- and a guy with a lot of personal baggage that's exploitable for a presidential primary.
The consensus themes to expect in attacks on Newsom:
The "too liberal, coastal elite" argument
If primary voters prioritize electability, Newsom -- a former San Francisco mayor -- could be seen as a risky choice, the operatives say.
...
The wealthy Getty family has been a key backer of Newsom's political and business career, leading some of his foes in California to call him a slick "Davos Democrat."
2. The scandals
When he was San Francisco's mayor in early 2007, Newsom apologized for having an affair with his campaign manager's wife, who was also a subordinate in his mayoral office.
...
During strict COVID lockdowns he imposed as governor, Newsom in November 2020 attended a birthday dinner for a lobbyist and adviser at the posh French Laundry in Napa.
...
Zoom in: Some of Newsom's potential rivals and other Democratic leaders have begun going public with attacks.
California Rep. Ro Khanna, referring to Newsom's former chief of staff recently being charged with corruption, said the aide's indictment is a "toxic stain" on the state.

Kamala Harris: Tried and tested. Tanned, rested, and ready.

And she could be the Dum nominee. While I don't think the Dums are dumb enough to try to run her again, she's up in most polls and name recognition really helps. And who is her competition? Girlie fag fake black guys? Fat slobs who look like their necks took a shit? Patrick Bateman?

And -- god help us all -- she could end up winning the election in 2028.

Again: why shouldn't she run?

There's a lot of shadow leaders too. I was surprised to find out that Rob Reiner ran an NGO with at least 3 different CIA spooks heading it up. And this NGO helped push all the Trump collusion stuff.

Trump's post was a ridiculous own goal, he should have taken the high road. But I suspect all the doubling down on his truth social post by Hollywood, and fawning over him, is because they are trying to obscure the shady places his money went.

I will say... hearing Rob Reiner was killed was a gut punch. Even if he hated me, I loved the films he made. It's a creative loss.

They vote for Trump because he earned their vote and loyalty but these voters do not give a shit about being shamed for not voting and if the GOP puts up assholes like Eyepatch McCain for Congress or the other GOP types grabbing money with both hands while in office, then they would just as soon stay home.

Trump is trying to make MAGA a cause with staying power while GOP officeholders are trying to grift to the max while paying it lip service.

It is hard enough for me to vote for these assholes, let alone an indy voter. And I've had to swallow my vomit at times when voting on the ballot because I know most of the WEF GOP types despise me and my fellow countrymen and want us dead or enslaved just like their reach around buddies across the aisle do.

I'm not sure who's a worse candidate. Probably Harris, just because the stench of total loserdom is so hard to wash off. All the perfumes of Somalia can't sweeten that jizz-caked claw.

But Newsome is such a sociopathic retard freakazoid that I just don't know how he can perform outside of the California hothouse that's so salubrious for carrion flowers like him.

This "blame the voters" thing is just as stupid as sports teams blaming fans for not coming out to watch them play. Here's a take: IF you want voters to come out for your election, GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT. The GOPe is a collection of LOSERS, who in general are just as immoral and corrupt as the people they're running against. The reason why the voters come out for Trump is that HE TRIES HARD to get them excited. He tells them their lives can be better, and what he'll do to make that happen.

That might have been correct if you were talking about a party in which primaries really are up for grabs. But that's not the Democrats. They are completely top-down. So only if the party leadership wants to reflect again on the significance of the passage of time, will she get the nod.

My own view is that being out of the WH is decisive here. They will be more ruthless in choosing whoever they think more likely to beat Vance.

- Because that is what it will take to beat Vance in 2028
- Which will also give them House, Senate and Pres

And some Arabs have made some beautiful poetry yet if they hate me and mine, then I don't mourn their passing. And I refuse to be hypocritical in issuing pablum myself or condemning Trump for expressing his justified true feelings.

Reiner became an evil twisted bastard in his last couple of decades because of politics and he visibly made California worse by his dabbling in propositions. His footsie with criminals in the CIA led to the diastrous Biden junta winning via fraud and opening the doors to mass invasion by illegals.

You can like the films all you want but the fact is that guy was an adamant supporter of making most Americans' lives demonstrably worse balanced by the minor amount of amusement that he gave us. I can readily find other sources for that without that baggage.

156 The recent minimum wage hike in Seattle has led to a wave of restaurant closures, with several businesses facing financial strain or outright closure. The new minimum wage of $20.76 per hour, effective January 1, 2025, has been cited as a significant factor in the closures.

- Bebop Waffle Shop: Owner Corina Luckenbach announced the closure of her café, Bebop, citing the increased labor costs and the inability to sustain the business financially.

- Bel Gatto: The bakery and café Bel Gatto also closed, unable to cover the increased costs due to the new minimum wage.
- The Jilted Siren: This restaurant in Capitol Hill has also closed, facing the same financial challenges as other businesses.

- The Confectional: The Pike Place Market bakery The Confectional closed after 18 years in business, owner Destiny Sund explaining that the additional costs were not sustainable.

The Washington Hospitality Association predicts that the number of restaurant closures in Seattle could rise by 5 to 8 percent this year due to the new wage law. The new law eliminates tiered wages and tip credits, creating uniform pay requirements for all employers, which has put a financial burden.

Reiner thought you should accept being farmed because you get to watch his movies.

There is no high road. Myth in this case. The brutal fact is that the US is teetering on massive violence caused by the left egged on by people like Reiner and other celebutards. Racialized killings and maimings, Muzzies doing jihad becuz Gaza, assassinations, these are all the doings of the left--not the right and Reiner was in the game as a participant for Team Blue all the way.

So to the extent that shaming might work on a few celebutards getting ready to kick the bucket, mebbe they tone their nasty mouths down a peg, stop expressing that violence is justified against their alleged 'Notsees' or 'fascists'.

I mourn the young lady and young man killed in Brown far more than Reiner. They did nothing other than good apparently and had potential to do far more in their lives. Ditto for Charlie Kirk. Ditto for Scotus judges, etc. etc. ad nauseam.

These people were assassinated directly because of deep Blue causes and inspired by their rotten leaders in society and in politics.

We are in a cold war threatening to go hot. The only road is to keep from losing it.

261 When I was a kid, I incredibly naive enough to believe that the President of the United States had to be exceptional. I've since learned that it is perfectly normal for the candidate for that office to be less qualified and less prepared than a vast majority of people they would represent.

Kamala Harris highlights that truth more so than anyone. She's dumb (visibly so). She's socially inept (even more visibly so). And, by association (because I don't think she has the tools to be so on her own), she's corrupt.

She's not just unexceptional. She's the antithesis of a qualified candidate. I, literally, would not hire her into any form of decision making position. No wonder she's leading the Democrat polls.

267 This "blame the voters" thing is just as stupid as sports teams blaming fans for not coming out to watch them play. Here's a take: IF you want voters to come out for your election, GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT. The GOPe is a collection of LOSERS, who in general are just as immoral and corrupt as the people they're running against. The reason why the voters come out for Trump is that HE TRIES HARD to get them excited. He tells them their lives can be better, and what he'll do to make that happen.

If you were a loudmouth asshole while you were alive, you don't get a magical talisman that means nobody is allowed to point that out when you die. Reiner certainly earned that title, and for that matter so has Trump, but nobody is under any illusion that there won't be a conga line of lefty shitheels tap-dancing on Trump's grave when he shuffles off this mortal coil.

335 Would I, personally, say something like he said about a guy who was just brutally murdered by his own son? No. Do I really care that Donald Trump did? Also no. If you were a loudmouth asshole while you were alive, you don't get a magical talisman that means nobody is allowed to point that out when you die. Reiner certainly earned that title, and for that matter so has Trump, but nobody is under any illusion that there won't be a conga line of lefty shitheels tap-dancing on Trump's grave when he shuffles off this mortal coil.

353 Gavin certainly does not have any leadership cred due to running California into the ground with tent cities, and billions spent on a train to no where.Plus the fires burning up LA as he shimmied and smiled.

Not that Kam has any type of leadership cred. She was, after all, the border czar that allowed millions of illegals into our country. So there's that she can brag about!

"I, as Vice President, allowed millions of unvetted illegals from all over the world to come to our country and give us culture. Granted, the culture was murder and eating kitty cats, but it is more than Gavin did."

Then she will launch into a future of her leadership, which will be the best of all time and fruitful and wonderful and vapid adjectives circling back to herself. She will have a look of stoned wonder on her goofy face while she yammers insipidly and occasionally clicks on her radio earrings.

VP Vance will destroy her in a debate. So, bring it on!

I have to be honest,however, that politics three years from now is in the future and I live for today. "Sha,la,lalalala, live for today."

361 >>> Agree. And I understand he wasn't just ranting from the sidelines. He was a major player in Democrap politics.

Yeah. But Reiner... is there any writer/director/producer in Hollywood that worked in such wildly massive genres and had such monster hits, or movies that have held up over time, as he did? Fantasy, thriller, Romantic comedy, horror, coming of age...it felt like he got involved in every genre and did it well, in his peak years.

He also did films that appealed to everyone. Even normie schlubs. It's too bad he stopped caring about the schlubs later on, and only worked on helping the elites.

His son is so messed up even after he did so much to help him...there's a lot of guilt there. Some rumblings online in the background are wondering if he failed to protect his kid from Hollywood's worst ilk, and it messed him up, and so dad tried to pay penance for that. (I wish someone would spill what they were fighting about at during Conan's holiday party.)

I don't think Kelly has a future outside the Senate (eh...he could probably win the governorship if the opportunity presented itself), but Biden was viewed as dumber and worse than Kelly is now, and he lucked into the VP slot and then got the name-recognition and proximity to beloved Obama to ride his way to the WH himself.

389 >>Biden was a special case because of his name recognition, being Gay Lightbringer's VP, and the inexplicable belief of a substantial number of Democraps that he was a calming moderate.

Biden's one claim to fame that got him both the VP slot and then the Presidential nomination was his longtime association with the US foreign policy apparatus. And by that I mean mostly the CIA.

Why do you think Obama put him in charge of Ukraine and China? Why do you think he pushed Ukraine NATO membership when anyone who really knew the situation knew it would lead to war?

The shadow government that gets talked about every so often is not a conspiracy theory. It's very real. That's what the uniparty works for.

2. If (when) they win - have we ever had someone be VP in two different administrations?

They reportedly hate each other, and 2028 is going to be Kamala's revenge tour.

She's more likely to choose Crockett, fresh off her big loss in TX, than Newsom.

Posted by: Bulg at December 17, 2025 02:20 PM (77rzZ)

=====

He made one: The Most Beautiful (women working in a wartime factory), and he regretted it afterwards, justifying it because he had just gotten the job of director at Toho and had to do what he was told.

(There was a labor dispute at the same time that split off to make Shintoho, which he didn't join...Kurosawa was actually a Marxist by theory but practical when it came to his own career.)

1776 had a poignant moment in the movie just before the vote,
"Dr. Benjamin Franklin: John? I beg you consider what you're doing.

John Adams: Mark me, Franklin... if we give in on this issue (slavery condemnation), posterity will never forgive us.

Dr. Benjamin Franklin: That's probably true, but we won't hear a thing, we'll be long gone. Besides, what would posterity think we were? Demi-gods? We're men, no more no less, trying to get a nation started against greater odds than a more generous God would have allowed. First things first, John. Independence; America.

Yeah. But Reiner... is there any writer/director/producer in Hollywood that worked in such wildly massive genres and had such monster hits, or movies that have held up over time, as he did? Fantasy, thriller, Romantic comedy, horror, coming of age...it felt like he got involved in every genre and did it well, in his peak years.

The thing is, he had a single hit film in the last 30 years, some forgettable rom-com that I can't even remember the name of. He picked a bunch of really good scripts in his early days as a director, from a bunch of really good writers. But his output was largely either shit or ordinary at best after A Few Good Men.

411 As I recall, Mary Tyler Moore told of the story of a young Meathead being on set of the Dick Van Dyke show and grabbing her behind.
-------

The only Dick Van Dyke show episodes that are worth watching are the "office" episodes, because that means Mary Tyler Moore doesn't get much screen time. I dislike her character, and every second she's onscreen she's either whining or crying or acting jealous or some combination of those things.

Off sock dammit,
Sorry to hear that. White collar work or blue collar? If white collar, sales if you are a good people person is a way in. Even route salesman for checking supermarkets, etc. If you can sell one product, it is generally easier then to lateral shift.

Blue collar, the trades. Plumbing, electrical, mechanic, heavy equipment operation, all have apprenticeship programs.

There may also be some CDL positions opening up for truck driving due to illegals being driven out of the industry. Robert here, I think is or was a long haul driver but there are short hauls too if you have a good driving record.

One trick is to enlist in the Nat. Guard or better yet Naval Reserve or Air National Guard. Often depending on the state, they get education benefits at state institutions as well as a lesser GI Bill. Aim for a slot that trains for a job with civilian applications.

As if any of this matters. She ran in 2020 as well and dropped out without getting a single delegate from any primary. She has ZERO chance of being the nominee in an open primary. She's simply too dumb.

LOL!!! Why didn't that work in 2020 ? Oh, right, because it was an open primary and not two hand selected nitwits where Dems only have to choose between Newsom and Harris.

The AWFLs may be dumb as rocks, but they're actually smart enough to get behind another candidate that isn't a word salad spewing moron.
