HOLY SMOKES
It’s funny how sometimes I’ll get tickled by something I see trending on X, send a goofy Xweet out about it, and – lo and behold – hours later, it turns out to have been a sign from the gods that I was supposed to write about it all along.

And for the life of me, I can’t break away from the trainwreck that is the Harris campaign for love nor money.
So, what happened earlier was this. I had been giggling about a truly ghastly clip of Harris trying to answer Anderson Cooper on this Xweet from a friend. I mean, he nails her with “stumbling.”
Kamala’s the cheerleader who’s only ever learned – and is only capable of learning – the rah-rahs to chirp with the rest of the girls.
This is unbelievably awkward on every level, from her waiting for cheers that never came to her stumbling around trying to figure out how to reconcile her two non-compatible positions… good lord this woman has been in POLITICS for most of her adult life pic.twitter.com/H7Xugg76sM

She is not and never will be solo material, proving time and time again she’s untrainable. Independant and freewheeling discussion is completely beyond her scope.
Right after we had this little conversation, a trending item popped up which perfectly encapsulated my thoughts.
Kamala Harris performs in a limited capacity and is excruciatingly bad at that.
This headline has it exactly right. Beyonce wouldn’t be “appearing” with Kamala; she was just part of the scripted show. Another “performer” on the stage.

I think that phrasing’s just about perfect, don’t you?
Harris is nothing more than a badly trained hack who couldn’t pull a crowd on her own to save her life. pic.twitter.com/3uM83X6HQw

One coincidence led to another and wouldja lookey here.
🚨BREAKING: Lizzo charged the Harris-Walz campaign $2.3 million for a single appearance at a Detroit rally.
Imagine what $2.3 million could have done for the victims of the hurricanes.

Do you mean to tell me the other day that the tasteless sashay of that creature out to her private jet and the taunts to the “ho’s” about voting for Kamala wasn’t from Lizzo’s tiny heart…? It wasn’t…real Kamala “bad b*tch” love…at all?
This was [Beege adds: reportedly ] bought and paid for?

Oh, ick.
I FEEL SO USED
Actually, who should feel used and want to crawl in a hole would be the Harris campaign. One would think.
I mean, I knew Kamala wasn’t popular – droves of down-ballot candidates are avoiding her campaign stops like the plague. But I didn’t realize she was “Momma had to tie a porkchop around my neck to get the dog to play with me/buy me friends” unpopular.

And the brilliant campaign strategists buying Kamala those stage friends paid $2.3M for THIS? Money grows on trees.
Wow! Lizzo just said “If Kamala wins the entire country will be like Detroit.”pic.twitter.com/USeAJ5DnEA

Exhibit A shows why Democrats are renowned for spending boatloads of cash wisely. Let this compensated endorser open her unscripted mouth. What do you get?

That’s the positive message I’m sure they all wanted the country to hear!
No car chargers, no cell phone service, no innerwebs, and now “make America Detroit.“
YOU GO, GIRL
As far, far away as possible.
I have also heard a second postulation bandied about concerning some of these celebrity endorsements for Harris that might not have anything to do with money and everything to do with self-preservation in the event of her actually winning this thing.
It falls under the old “currying favor” file name.
Many of them, either themselves or their spouses, have close connections to P Diddy and his infamous get-togethers.
Jay Z and Diddy partied hard for Diddy’s 50th.

Now, I wouldn’t know either way, but I can do that math.
No doubt there are a lot of calculations going on right about now and a lot of Maalox being gulped because all the money, paid-for friends, and performances in the world can’t seem to pull this sorry sack of potatoes over the finish line.
Axios reports that the #Harris campaign and other Democratic groups spent $1 billion on ads over the past three months.
It looks like it’s having the opposite of the intended effect. pic.twitter.com/AU1AAoyI06
