Last night CNN’s prerecorded 18-minute interview with Kamala Harris, with attendant training wheels Walz, was a giant nothing-burger – a disappointment but not a surprise. While Kamala was asked some decent questions, she predictably dodged all of them as did her partner in perfidy. What galled me the most was how she was allowed to bullshit her way out of the question about her manifold and desperate flip-flops on policies she championed in 2019 and her new ones with which she now apes Trump.
Her response to this line of questioning by Dana Bash was that “My values have not changed.” And I almost gagged when Bash allowed her to skate with that. Bash’s next question should immediately have been, ‘That may be, but the whole country has witnessed you doing 180s on your previously championed policies, and it will be your policies and not some ephemeral values that will impact the American people. On what new evidence did you base your policy pirouettes?’ – or something in that vein. Kamala’s lame answer again confirmed the low opinion that Democrats have of their loyal, yet demonstrably and reliably ignorant, constituencies who regularly swallow such answers with nary a qualm.
This brings me to my general complaint about the dismal state of today’s journalism that primarily includes the conservative media like Fox News. Starting with lead political anchor Bret Baier, none of them are either smart or quick enough to follow up Democrats’ stated allegations about Republicans, wrong-headed realities, etc with ‘Sir, you’ve just stated an unsubstantiated allegation to my question ‘On what did you base your claim that …?’. Please tell us again on what evidence do you base this and similar allegations you have made.’ Always ask for evidence when offered allegations.
Such a follow-up question will inevitably expose bullshit, and may even lead to a more productive discussion. Instead, our stalwarts of the Fourth Estate just calmly soldier on to their next question to receive a similarly dissembled response by the progressive pundit/politician being interviewed. And in the end, the interview has again turned into a non-interview in which the devious interviewee’s non-responses were not even exposed. We viewers (well, some of us) expect to receive such performances on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, … . But having to regularly consume them on outlets that attempt to champion the Right is downright nauseating.

Paul – “What is the “Argument” you refer to Scott?”
I didn’t say anything about an ‘argument’.
You OK, Paul?

I always suspected that the Weasel in his weasel like manner was a closet Republican. I suspect that if you went through his closet you’d find, in addition to the tie-dyed tee shirts and torn Levi’s a polyester suit in a blue not found in nature with accompanying hard white patent leather shoes for those “special occasions”.
Finally on Team Status Quo….after all these years!
Remember this next time someone from TEAM STUPID pings you with a desperate plead for more money…..to save the nation of course!

Estimates are Scott that over 2000 rioters illegally entered the capital building during the riot.

Paul 8:24 – Ever the weasel, aren’t you, Paul.
I asked how many “broke into” – not “walked into”.
The vast majority of protesters on the 6th did nothing violent or destructive.

So Scott are you saying that entering a building that has been broken into is legal? For example if you were on vacation and someone broke into your house and was followed by people that did not participate in the breakin that they, those that entered later, did nothing illegal?

That’s what you always do Scott when the conversation gets too complicated for you. It’s the only out for Trump supporters like you who can’t handle deep conversations.
So we’re left with you believing that those that entered the Capital and had to step over smashed in doors and windows did nothing wrong or illegal and deserve pardons.
That’s the same thing Gregory believes so you have company.
