Harris to Colbert: Trump Broke Me

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/2/2025 3:48:29 PM

Why did Kamala Harris take a pass on running for governor in California? It's not because she's aiming at another presidential run in 2028, Harris told Stephen Colbert. It's because she finally lost an election. No, seriously. "I don't want to back into the system," she explains, "because the system is broken." And if you think that's absurd, Colbert manages to top it: Ahem. If anyone has reason for gratitude toward "the system," it's Harris. She is and has always been an intellectual lightweight who counted on "the system" to keep her in office. It was the Democrat establishment that ensured she kept winning

No, woman. Willie Brown broke you. You willingly served under his staff as his marriage dissolved. You (blank)ed your way to the vice presidency with absolutely no qualifications, no quantifiable intelligence. Your nasal voice is all you've got going for yourself. You need to talk MORE through your nose. Louder!

She never would have been in a position to be “broken” by Trump, if the people who cheated her into office in the first place hadn’t finally been broken by him, the “stupid”, “deplorable” American voters, and most thankfully, prayerfully and providentially, by the grace of Almighty God in the 2025 election.

She is not broken. Willie Brown needed her as San Francisco DA rather than the tough guy who was running so that Willie's crooked pal would not end up in the slammer. Kamala the Politician was born. He was hot stuff in CA so her ascendancy took her to AG. Biden needed a black woman for his VP ca ndidate and voila! Not too black and not smarter than he. Perfect. She began saying a system was broken when she was made border czar or whatever (she later denied that after the border got worse). First she vowed to get the root and went to throw taxpayer money around Cetral America. They she relied on that old Dem chestnut: The immigration system is broken. It wasn't. So "broken" is a word she relies on. If Colbert had asked her to explain, she'd have gone silent and at some point accused him of breaking her. She didn't run because Willie Brown told her she'd never make it through the primary when some tough Dem females are expected to run. So she said Trump broke her.

Surely she doesn't really believe that Trump and the "system" was why she lost. If she does, she is more stupid than I thought. She was a terrible and unappealing candidate, and had presided with Joe over one of the most damaging four years in over a hundred years. The disturbing thing to me is not that she lost, but that so many people actually voted for her. We should all thank the Lord above that DJT turned his head at just the right moment.

Did #9 really mean Kamala got $10 million upfront for her word salad book? $10 is more what it is worth. What is actually broken is a system where someone so dumb and unqualified can make that kind of money just because of DEI.

I'm not sure that Trump "broke" Kamala. She was a mess as VP when Trump was busy in court and a second term was thought to be a pipe dream. She carried her "brokenness" into her Presidential campaign. She wasn't even successful at being "Joyful". All Trump did was point out her flaws. He didn't have to make anything up or exaggerate because the reality about Kamala was bad enough and the electorate was already aware of her failings. Trump simply kept the focus on how incompetent she is. She crumbled under the weight of her inability to accomplish anything. Colbert and others who suffer from TDS blame Trump for their own ugliness and bad actions. Trump simply holds up a mirror to them.

The Trump administration withdrew $200 million in federal research funding to the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) after a Department of Justice (DOJ) finding Thursday that it had violated the civil rights of Jewish students. As Breitbart News reported earlier this week, UCLA settled a lawsuit brought by Jewish students — and was promptly hit with a DOJ finding that it had violated the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights Act. Breitbart News reported: In April 2024, UCLA allowed anti-Israel students to set up an “encampment” in the center of campus. The university surrounded it with metal barricades and allowed activists to patrol the encampment boundary.

New Hampshire's governor signed a bill into law today which bans gender affirming care for minors. New Hampshire is the first state in New England to pass such a ban. New Hampshire has become the first state in New England to ban gender-affirming care medication for minors after Governor Kelly Ayotte signed House Bill 377 into law on Friday. The new law prohibits healthcare providers from prescribing puberty blockers and hormone therapy for people under 18 when the medications are used by transgender youth as part of a gender transition...

He may succeed only in scaring everyone else, though. Like a bolt from the blue on Friday, President Trump signaled that his patience with the Kremlin was all but exhausted. The time for carrots is behind us. Russian recalcitrance can be broken only with sticks. And the president is brandishing the biggest stick in his arsenal: The unusually bellicose statement follows remarks by Vladimir Putin’s deputy, Dmitry Medvedev, who recently dismissed President Trump’s decision to truncate the deadline he’d imposed on Russia to agree to a cease-fire with Ukraine. Medvedev implied that Russia’s nuclear arsenal grants it strategic impunity.

Here's a hint: It's something that Democrats could not shut up about for the last four years. No, it's not Defund the Police. That mission still gets some support from the progressive/socialist vanguard, as we see in New York City. And you know it's not about Donald Trump and his supposed "threat to democracy." So which Democrat dog has ceased its barking? The one that barked up the wrong energy tree, according to an Axios review of Democrat speeches and social-media accounts: Democrats aren't explicitly disavowing the Green New Deal, but they've abruptly stopped talking about it as they scramble to find new ways to talk about climate change.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday that modified “reciprocal” tariffs on dozens of countries, with updated duties ranging from 10% to 41%. All goods that are considered to have been transshipped to avoid applicable duties will be subject to an additional 40% tariff, according to the White House. Countries that are not listed in the latest order will face an additional duty of 10%, the order said. The updated directive modifies tariffs imposed under the earlier executive order issued in April. The modified rates will be effective with respect to goods “entered for consumption on or after 12:01 a.m.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Thursday that there would be a 90-day negotiating period with Mexico after a call with that country’s leader, Claudia Sheinbaum, as the 25% tariff rates stay in place. Trump, posting on Truth Social, said his phone conversation with Sheinbaum was “very successful in that, more and more, we are getting to know and understand each other.” Trump said that goods from Mexico imported into the U.S. would continue to face a 25% tariff that the U.S. president has ostensibly linked to fentanyl trafficking. The Republican said that autos would face a 25% tariffs, while copper, aluminum and steel would be taxed at 50%.

That comes despite calls from the United States to release the hostages as a precondition for any negotiations regarding a "two-state solution." In response, Hamas immediately pulled out of talks regarding a ceasefire, emboldened by a move that they see as assuring their survival as the governing authority in Gaza. In other words, Macron just doomed what hostages remain alive
