Kamala Harris's Answers In Her CNN Advertising Opportunity Were "Word Salad City," Says... Obama Campaign Director David Axelrod and Racist Agitator Van Jones

Below: First Fox & Friends runs the clip of Kamala's latest tossed salad, and then David Axelrod says she can't answer questions without going to "word salad city."

Below, CNN's leftwing propagandists (and Scott Jennings) blast Kamala for her "word salad stuff," as noted racist Van Jones call it. Dana Bash reports that she's hearing from her Democrat friends and controllers that "if Kamala Harris's goal was to close the deal tonight, they're not sure she did that."

NEW: CNN’s Scott Jennings says Kamala Harris is a “double-threat” because she can’t think on her feet and can’t answer the expected questions.

CNN has railed on Harris after her town hall event.

Here are the top reactions:

6. Axelrod: She is word salad city.

There's more butthurt whining and obvious anger about Kamala's poor performance here. At around 7:00, Van Jones melts down about Kamala Harris being "held to too high a standard" -- I mean, he's mad that she's not getting the DEI courtesy promotion. Before that, Whoopie Goldberg makes the same "they're not giving the black woman the soft treatment we demand" complaint.

Remember, what they're complaining about is that Evil White Racists expect a Strong Empowered Black Woman to be able and willing to just say what she actually believes. They find this to be too great a burden for a Strong Empowered Black Woman, and want people to vote for her just because this privileged public school whore lies about "growing up in a middle class household."

She continues to avoid saying she'll build a wall by just repeating that Trump didn't build much wall -- forgetting that Democrats blocked his efforts to build it.

2024 Kamala: Criticizes Trump for not building more wall. 🤣🤡 pic.twitter.com/ISQxRbetlt
— MAZE (@mazemoore) October 24, 2024

John Ekdahl sent me this story from 14 months ago: The Biden-Harris Administration was so determined that the wall should never be built that they sold off extremely expensive steel purchased by Trump for the wall for pennies to make sure that it could never be used to build a wall.

The Biden administration is quietly auctioning off millions of dollars' worth of unused parts from former President Trump's border wall for peanuts -- in an apparent end-run around pending legislation in Congress.
Since April, GovPlanet, an online auction house specializing in military surplus, has sold 81 lots of steel "square structural tubes" -- intended for use as vertical bollards in the border barrier's 30-foot-tall panels -- hauling in about $2 million.
On Tuesday, GovPlanet netted $154,200 for 729 of the 28-foot-tall hollow beams, sold in five separate lots for an average $212 apiece.
Thirteen more lots are set to be auctioned on Aug. 23 and Aug. 30.
But just last month, as part of its annual defense appropriations package, the Democrat-led Senate passed a Republican-sponsored bill aimed at forcing Biden to stem the worsening migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border by extending the wall.
Up to $300 million worth of taxpayer-funded wall components have been left to rust since Biden came to office, Republicans have said.
The Finish It Act will make the feds use those materials on new wall construction -- or hand the remaining stock over to states like Texas for use in their own border defense projects.
Now, the Biden administration is rushing to get rid of the wall leftovers before the GOP-led House can pass a matching version of the bill and make it law, critics told The Post.
...
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) called the fire sale "reckless."
"Our borders continue to be overrun by an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants, turning every district into a border district, and compromising our national security," Stefanik said.
The GovPlanet auction schedule picked up markedly in May, when Wicker first introduced the Finish It Act, and increased again this month, days after the Senate's defense bill passed on a bipartisan vote.
A DOD spokesman identified the tubes, held in an outdoor storage lot in Pima County, Ariz., as "excess border wall materials."
"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ... has already transferred approximately $154 million worth of the roughly $260 million of bollard panels and other materials," according to Lt. Col. Devin T. Robinson, who used Defense Department lingo for the process of consigning military surplus items to commercial resellers or the trash heap.

Millions of dollars in steel bollards to form the structure of the wall sold for... $212 a piece.

Profits from the sale flow back to the Pentagon's budget.
But GovPlanet is under strict instructions to keep the border-wall connection hush-hush.
"We are legally not allowed to mention these are the border wall materials, or we could lose our jobs," a GovPlanet source told the Daily Upside, the financial newsletter that first reported the ongoing sales.

And while the lot listings scrupulously avoid identifying the tubes' original purpose, viewers of the company's Instagram page weren't fooled.

"Good for building a wall," a user called honest_jake wrote Aug. 3 under a GovPlanet Instagram post touting the sale of "industrial steel tubing" -- an entry that was deleted from the social media site Friday.

"Why don't you put that up instead of selling it," added Brian Prewitt. "This is why tax payers are just about done paying taxes."

Well, there's a couple possibilities here. One is that she used to be smart, but guzzled so much booze and jizz that she got 'tarded.

The other is that the regular you're talking about may have been a CA attorney who knew her in some professional capacity... People often tend to project good qualities on their colleagues whether it makes sense or not - they don't see how a 'tard could make it in the same business smart people do.

Consider as Senator she passed an anti-lynching law, which is amazing since lynching is already illegal. Then she got Juicy involved and the rest is history.

The real answer is 1) Trump bad so we rescinded everything he did day one. 2) oops we fucked up, but now immigration advocates won't let us back down. 3) Ah fuck, it's 2024, if we have any hope of being re-elected, we need to cut the number of illegals.

She can't defend their moronic decisions and policies and have any hope of getting re-elected. Their hope was a compliant media would never ask them about it.

155 I suspect that Kamala has been having a huge crisis of confidence since she was nominated, and is constantly eating loads of mood elevators and other feel good drugs and washing them down with Vodka.

156 David Delaiden reported people selling baby parts and Kamala had him prosecuted to the full extent of the law for privacy violation provoking the question, "What baby parts?". Further down the abyss for her?

157 Think one of the problems with Kamala being handed jobs (phrasing!) is that she’s always gotten by without having to work hard, learn on the job. She can’t function at this level because she’s never learned how to. Like a house cat dumped in a forest. Or Chelsea Clinton. Pathetic.

But she'll retire from politics with a healthy stipend and security to keep the riff-raff away, so it's cool.

162 The hilarious thing here is that this woman's ego and insecurity gets in the way of everyone trying to hand her a gift. She surely has all the questions in advance. Hell, she even had the questions at the bogus "town hall." So, constructing a simple, concise and understandable talking point is a snap.

But, she thinks she's smarter than the rest of the room due to her "position". And, she too insecure to go through the motions that people have painstakingly set up for her. She needs to add that little "Harris panache"...and is too stupid to be able to do that.

She gives the appearance of someone who’s playing a part and is desperately afraid they’re about to be found out.

Back when I was starting my career in science, I always felt like the idiot in the conference audiences. There were lots of people who were clearly much smarter than me, so I was very reluctant to ask a question and reveal myself for the idiot I was sure I was.

As I aged, I figured out that I wasn't really the stupidest guy in the room, and that most people felt the way I did.

As my career reached its end, I was always surprised that I seemed to know more than most of the audience and had little trouble answering their questions, because I had anticipated them.

Kamala never had the seasoning process that I went through, and never had to develop the skills needed for her chosen career.

I'd be nervous as hell if I were her. It's bad enough to be humiliated in front of your colleagues; it's much worse to be humiliated in front of the whole world.

In a controlled and structured organization the manager is not terribly important, an elected official is mostly the figurehead if he doesn't want to rock the boat, and if he wants to make waves he has lots and lots of underlings who both want to get promoted by being good boys and also don't want failure to stick to them, so there is a drive to make things work anyways.
A senior manager will look good because what goes on sort of works, as good as anything in a state or local office.

In a real back room knife fight over policy or a serious discussion on anything will show that idiot to be an idiot and a panicked fool as well. The dogs will turn on him if he threatens to make the senior staff look bad.

Thanks, she did: currently considering another company's estimate of around $65k -- which with tax would put it over $70k.

He's known Harris for decades and says she is one of the dumbest, least accomplished lawyers he's ever met. He also thinks she is flat out lying about the claims she constantly makes about trying cases against cartels running guns, drugs and people.

She's a CA machine politician who has never had a real election, she was just given job after job much like Obama but he could at least speak somewhat coherently.

Seriously??? Not that I'm a roofing expert or anything, but I might also consider another insurance company - as far as I know *most* will pay for replacement rather than repair since if the repair fails for any reason and your house is damaged because of that, you could probably sue their asses off. Jim SND mentioned a while back that sustained wind of over 50 mph could also be a justification for replacement depending on how much damage it caused.

We had our roof replaced after a hail storm in February. My understanding is that the age of ours, about 20 years, was a factor in the repair / replace decision.

Most, if not all of the shingles were roached. Many, perhaps a majority, from storm damage.

It was also the first claim we've ever had on the property.

It doesn't seem to occur to anyone that Hunter likely turned on the Biden crime family. How else does a laptop FULL of incriminating information just happen to fall into the hands of a blind IT professional?

410 If you watched any of Donald Trump’s recent rally in Butler, Pa., you probably noticed Elon Musk beside him — jumping, jiving, arms raised, belly bared — and wondered what in the name of Tesla the chronically overstimulated gazillionaire was doing. Impromptu aerobics? A cheerleading audition? Charades? If only. Musk, I fear, was previewing a second Trump administration — in which Trump would embrace and embolden a crew of self-impressed eccentrics and ideological outliers who are happy, even eager, to make confounding and fawning spectacles of themselves.

... I seem to remember a few eccentrics at the beginning of the 1st term. They lasted about 6 months.

Of course, this is the Times saying that Trump MUST have the Harvard and Yale experts to run the government. These were the ones that wrote the books disparaging Trump later.

America did it to itself.

That constitutional amendment process is long and hard for a reason. America really wanted it because it was supposed to just hit the rich.

Income tax was first instituted during the Civil War by Lincoln and Congress. From Justia, "The first tax on personal income was not levied until the Civil War. In 1861, Congress and President Abraham Lincoln imposed a 3 percent tax on annual incomes over $800 to finance the Union war effort. This tax was repealed in 1871. . ."

A re instituted income tax law was held to be unconstitutional in a court case Pollock v. Farmer's Loan and Trust in the 1890's.

The amendment overturned the Scotus decision in the 1890's involving the definition of a direct tax.

515 The reinstituted income tax was "An act to reduce taxation, to provide revenue for the government, and for other purposes," passed August 15, 1894,. . . a tax of two percentum on the net profits of said company for the year ending December 31, 1894, above actual operating and business expenses, including the income derived from its real estate and its bonds of the city of New York. So, a corporate income tax was at issue here not personal. Pollock was one of the directors and stockholders and was suing to prevent payment by the 'bank' of this tax to the IRS.

But, the definition of direct tax in the opinion, more or less, banned individual income taxes as an unconstitutional direct tax as defined in a very old Hylton v. U.S. case in 1796. First actual use of judicial review by the Court (they affirmed that the tax was legitimate in this case but clearly stated if it was not that the Court could hold it invalid). Another fun thing about Hylton is in the seriatum opinions of the time, Justice Paterson discussed debate in the Constitutional Convention over the direct tax language. He was there as a delegate from NJ at the time. Truly originalism in its purest form.

524 The first income tax post 1913 only applied to 2% of the population. Which lasted a nanosecond before everyone was paying it.

The SF Bay Bridge had a toll that was supposed to last only until the bridge had been paid off. Which it was, ca. 1940, IRCC. But the toll remains.

The Feds instituted a tax on telephones to pay for the Spanish-American War. It exists to this day.

Drastically cut under the Harding Administration. Oddly enough tax revenues went UP.

Some time ago I ran across a site that had comparative tax tables from the nineteen teens to the present. The WWII era ones were a nightmare - no lower cutoff, and top rates at 90%+.

There is no way for anyone in that Town/City to recall that Mayor?
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at October 24, 2024 03:40 PM (d6uAc)

LOL.

Smoke N Scan on utube has also been covering these meetings live. Tiffany is the Mayor if Dolton, IL, AND the Supervisor of Thornton Township. It is only a matter of time before she is arrested and thrown into the clink. The po-po are getting their ducks in a row.

Dolton is a small, mostly black, town on the south side of Chicago. Maybe 20,000 people.

The city and township meetings ate insane.

Right now, the city council fails to show up when she shows up, failing to establish a quorum.

You get what you vote for, people.

532 The laws best be plain enough that no common man needs to employ a mandarin to understand or navigate it. You want a nation of laws ? Then it's your job to make them simple.
Posted by: Common Sense

People are complicated and society is complicated. Simple laws aren't going to cut it most of the time.

And, even if you interpret the laws yourself, you're still acting as a lawyer, and probably interpret the laws to favor your own interest, just like and schuyster lawyer.

So go live with some Amazon tribe if you want "simplicity."

Bullshit. The “experts” are precisely why the nation is currently an open air insane asylum right now.

Good try, though. The Constitution is written plainly for anyone who can read and understand. The notion that you have to go to Deah Old Hahvahd to understand it is the scam. They are quacks and pseudo-intellectuals. The rubes are starting to notice though. Uh-oh

Chicago Toll Roads had a tax set to expire when the tolls paid off the loans used to build them. They never paid any of the principal. You can see the Toll Authority building from a toll road, it looks like the Taj Mahal.

538 Don’t conflate “simple” with “easy”.

They always trot this one out. “There are no simple solutions”.

Sometimes they muddy the water - to try and make it look deep. They don’t want to do something, because it takes work. Conflict. Even - gasp - violence on the bad guys.

Don’t be fooled.

It was found to be unconstitutional then, and the bill had to be paid, mostly, by devaluation on the greenbacks issued by the Treasury during the war, the greenbacks wound up being redeemed almost at par IIRC by the 1890's

its usually not simple because they don't try. Back in the 90s and 30 years prior Welfare was the thing you can never touch. Then Billy Clinton got in trouble and they touched it, and it pretty much got solved. Since then they probably have instituted a lot of it back in other ways, but actually making an effort cures a lot of ills.

It actually is funny that one of the few non contentious bills in the time leading up to the Civil War was a change in the tariff rates. Transcontinental RR, induction of new states, all had huge issues but they had gotten used to on both sides to interests getting some relief that it went pretty smoothly. The 1820-1840 time was when tariffs were the big pill to swallow.

Also, Maya L. Harris Joins Arcus Foundation Board of Directors, December 11, 2017. Michigan billionaires John Stryker and partner Slobodan Randjelović are Board President and Founder and Board Member, respectively.

548 The income tax, direct election of senators, women's suffrage, and prohibition all went together. Income tax and prohibition were politically tied together. With prohibition there was a massive hit on federal govt revenue which, even at spending levels back then, had to made up somehow. Hence the income tax.

552 This isn't word salad, it's ignorance with words.

30 years ago, I was given a complete BS curricula to be promoted, and I wrote a huge treatise without ever touching on any particular subject involved in the "requirements" of the promotion, but the thing was. . . There wasn't any requirements. The HR Dept, left it broad enough that there really was no application requirement, because the only thing more than lazy normal people, the only ones more lazy are HR. So I wrote a complete nonsense long worded, yet invoking application.

A friend of mine want the same spot, asked me what I did, I showed him my application and he said, "I'm fucked! You said nothing, but I think I know it!"

These people without actual skills think that the representation is important. It is, for promotion in a company that will start laying people off sometime the day after they trusted you with authority.
