Joy fades to anger in a Fox hole.
Link to quote: Casey at the Bat by Ernest Lawrence Thayer - Famous poems, famous poets. - All Poetry
Last night the Harris campaign took their big gamble and sent their candidate off to Fox News to face real questioning from Bret Baier on America's biggest news forum. Harris, who was 17 minutes late, could not answer a single question. She sought to filibuster and eventually when Baier finally gave her an opening, she launched an angry tirade against Donald Trump. It was clear that her campaign had used Trump as the default button for her in case she got into trouble and she was in trouble with the very first question, which was how many people did she estimate the Biden administration let into the country.
When Baier pressed her on why one of her campaign promises is to “turn the page” when she has been the sitting vice president for more than three years, Harris pivoted to talking about Trump.
“Well first of all, turning the page from the last decade in which we’ve been burdened with the kind of rhetoric coming from Donald Trump that has been designed and implemented to divide our country and have Americans literally point fingers at each other,” she said.
Baier then reiterated that she has been vice president for three and a half years, questioning why people think the country is on the wrong track.
“Come on, you and I both know what I’m talking about,” she said.
Baier responded, “What are you talking about?”
“Over the last decade it is clear to me … he is unfit to serve, he is unstable, he is dangerous and people are exhausted,” she said, referring to Trump.
5 takeaways from a contentious Bret Baier, Harris interview (msn.com)
I am sure the radical lefties thought that was a winning moment for Harris, and I am just as sure that the rest of America thought it was an epic failure. The proof of course, is that the Harris campaign team frantically tried to get Baier to wrap up their interview early.
'I'm talking like four people waving their hands like "it's got to stop,"' Baier described to his panel about how the taped but unedited interview ended after it aired at the top of his 6 pm show.
'I had to dismount there at the end,' Baier shrugged.
'There are so many things and maybe she should do more of these,' he added.

Based on this train wreck, I think it finally may be over for the radical left winning the White House next month.

Good Morning.
She got angrier as the interview went on, and it only went for about 25 minutes before her handlers waved their arms.
oh no, a convicted felon, indicted insurrectionist, fraud, and autocrat thinks I'm a -
bret baier and FOX's deception got caught and called out. I wonder when the orange coward will be interviewed on msnbc ...
maga likes hearing about unconstitutional revenge and retribution against their perceived enemies, so I'm really looking forward to watching the amped up maga devotees pay the price for their demigod's rhetoric when he calls them up to act on it after 11/5 ...
She looked like an angry fool.
she obviously knows the law and constitution better than a convicted felon and indicted traitor...
Then why was she against prosecuting people who entered the US illegally?
then why did her opponent detonate a bipartisan law to make that possible?
I'd also like to thank the maga militia in advance for solving the housing shortage and decreasing entitlement payments prior to her inauguration with at least 76 "days of love" ...
A private citizen detonated a law? is that the same law that allowed 2500 illegals a day before they considered closing the border? 2500 X 365 = 900,000 plus a year of caught illegals, not counting get aways.
Traitorous scum want to know. But it's ok. They will just keep blabbing on about the millions of illegals blah blah blah and whatever other lies the Tangerine Tirade spews forth
I won't feel any pity for those in law enforcement that disavow their oath to defend the constitution and make the choice to implement trump's unconstitutional dictates should he be elected ...
What the fuck was that supposed to mean?
He had to stop the interview.
What interpretation would you like to put on it?
Did he "mount" her during that interview? That is the only way "dismount" would make sense.
Mounting a woman has a fairly specific meaning.
Even if you leave the sexual connotation out of it, he was implying that his job was to ride her, and he enjoyed it.
That she couldn't answer a single question and was starting to look and sound like the crazy cat lady from the Simpsons.
It means he knows Harris out maneuvers his gotcha questions.
There is only one meaning to what he said.
You really think avoiding questions is going to help her.
All those friendly interviews she did really were a disservice to her campaign.
Let me QUOTE Brett Baier for you Vic
The interview was 26 minutes long.
Baier says that Harris wanted the interview to be 20 minutes. That was before the interview started. It turned out it was 26 minutes, so it went six minutes longer than she preferred BEFORE it started.
Intelligent people can cut through all this Fox News/Brett Baier bullshit.
That means what it says.
Special Report is an hour show. They could have had more if they wanted.
They ended it with arms waiving...
"no mas!"
She didn't "out maneuver" a damn thing. She deflected to the normal leftist "but Trruuummmmppppp!" deflection and made the usual word salad talking points she's known for.
All of it was her filibustering and her angry rant about Trump.
Rational people aren't going to like it.
They took a shot, and they came up with snake eyes.
No, they were honest questions which she refused to answer. Then she deflected/defaulted to Trump. That's the pattern her handlers have chosen. The results have been a disaster for her because the American people aren't buying it.
He was riding her like a rented mule.
Only on Fox News would his job have been to "ride her"
Or he was trying to make her as comfortable as possible. a familiar setting.
Oh please. If it had been Trump they would have planned for the former POTUS to be 90 minutes late and treated him with reverence and deference.
Going forward Brett's reputation will no longer be fair and balanced.
it never was, he's all the way down the maga rabbit hole ...
Exactly where was he not fair and balanced with Harris?
Is it because he did not ask questions like "Do you plan on getting a puppy if you win the White House?"
what a willfully ignorant comment ...
So you admit he always been fair and balanced.
weak sauce retort.
weak sauce retort ...
I admit that Fox pushes that narrative and I had no reason to believe otherwise until this "interview".
It went pretty much as expected.
I think her frustration culminated in today's declaration that A future Harris Administration will not be an extension of the Biden Administration.
And it's about time she said so.
Baier has said the interview was supposed to be 20 to 25 minutes long. It was 26 minutes.
The idea that Harris "handlers" panicked is pure Fox propaganda.
Actually, it is FACT.
The moment Kamala Harris staff desperately intervened to end interview with Fox News' Bret Baier: 'It's gotta stop!' | Daily Mail Online
You see John, that interview barely got through the first few segments which Kamala filibustered. She could have said go on with your questions, but clearly the Harris team had had enough.
Nonsense.
You have the link. It is a fact.
I read the link, the only thing in there about her "staff" is the headline itself.
The interview went six minutes longer than what Baier himself says Harris team agreed to.
It is a fact. Those weren't Fox technicians waiving to cut it off, those were Harris campaign staffers.
By Baiers own words, before the interview started Harris agreed to 20 minutes. The interview ended up being 26 minutes. What the hell are you bitching about?
Look at the last couple minutes of the interview. Does Harris look rattled? No.
Take a look at the picture in Post 1.
I'll let our readers decide if she became unhinged.
Glad you brought that up. She got angry when Baier played an edited clip from Trump earlier in the day which was edited to make him look more sane.
In fact, what Baier and Fox did was very dishonest. That is why she got angry.
That was the opening that Baier gave her. I never would have brought Trump into the conversation. He needed to stick to the questions that he mined from X the days prior to the interview, most of which were on the border and the economy.
So why were Harris' handlers so anxious to get her out of there?
she should have walked after calling out bret's FOX edited trump clip ...
What are you talking about? The interview was six minutes longer than Harris team suggested before it started. .
Maybe they should have asked her about the 60 minutes edit while we're deflecting.
... you sure are. I'm on topic ...
Its too early in the morning for your comedy stylings Vic.
Unless they pull a dirty trick in the next few weeks, she is cooked.
If trump wins, the election was rigged, it's that simple.
Trump was doing his penance on Univision yesterday in what should have been a warm cozy town hall with supportive Hispanic Republican voters.
It was much worse than the Harris inquisition on Fox.
We should give them a taste of their own medicine, although I dont expect that to happen. The Democrats want what is best for the country.
Maybe you should do an article on that. Mine is on the Harris sit down with Bret Baier last night.
Are the democrats going to accept a Trump win?
If he wins I will accept that he won. [removed][✘]
As Stalin told the Ukrainian farmers "You will give up your lands to collectivization!"
It was what was best for Russia, I guess.
You just bop all over the place looking for a point you can win.
You said democrats do what they think is best for the country.
I believe I made the proper analogy.
No they don't, only what's best of the hard left progressive party pretending to be patriots.
jack smith's unsealed indictment facts are going out to the media next week ...
the rest of trump's post election life will be spent in jail cells and court rooms ...
maybe he can pay a Dr to write him a note for brain spurs ...
You should know after all of these years that no one ever gets what they want,
too many checks and balances or
Libertarians that can filibuster stuff to a standstill.
Progress can only happen through compromise
Baier asked Harris how many migrants had been released into the country under the Biden-Harris administration, how she would reduce the count and why some of her stances had shifted since her 2019 presidential campaign.
Does anyone understand her response to any of that?
A lot of the answers she gave was like reading leftist comments here on NT - "but Trruuummmmppppp!". And what weren't deflections to Trump were false and fictitious answers at best.
think it finally may be over for the radical left winning the White House next month.
Between Democratic ballot harvesting and the church of progressives, it's still a coin flip.
They just don't care she's an empty suit, the glass of water Pelosi talks about. .
She as much as admitted that herself when she went into the Trump is unfit routine.
[✘]
I wouldn't know.
I don't think LSD works on those already experiencing hallucinations and delusions ...
BAIER: “In 2019, you supported allowing illegals to apply for drivers' licenses, qualify for free tuition at universities, and get free healthcare. Do you still support those things?”
KAMALA: “That was five years ago”
Question of the day is a multiple choice:
What was the worst part of that interview?
A) Harris’ answers about the border?
B) Her refusal to condemn taxpayer funded sex surgery for illegals?
C) Covering up Biden’s mental decline?
D) Harris showing up late and then her staff frantically ending the interview?
Baier playing a clip of trump from earlier in the day edited to make him look less unhinged than he really is.
Sorry, that wasn't one of the choices.
But it is a very valid answer because the tape eliminated the claim That Trump actually did make.
No ice cream for you or Fox Entertainment.
it would have been the 1st time ignorant FOX viewers had seen their fascist hero say that bullshit ...
The tape was of a completely different speech than the one that Harris was talking about. The question is why the interviewer allowed the candidate to take him there.
No ice cream for you or Fox Entertainment.
Special Report is where most people go for news.
I know. How dare he ask her actual questions and expect actual answers.
Nope. He has made the "enemy within" comments a few times in the past 5 or 6 days, including yesterday.
Most people have Fox Entertainment freely included in the most popular cable tv bundles
while the real news and opinion shows are in higher tiers that subscribers have to pay extra for.
That is an unfortunate situation as far as having an informed public.
Access to propaganda should be equal.
It was and who cares.
He let her get in her angry rant and now she owns it.
Do you really think that performance helped her?
A good deal of cable news is entertainment.
Special Report is strictly NEWS.
If it's on Fox Entertainment Corp, it's tainted by too many out of court settlements for defamation, libel and sexual harassment.
Actually no. The audience for the networks nightly news shows is about six times larger than Baiers.
I knew you were going there, but SPECIAL REPORT is clean. It is a NEWS show.
Is this another one of your constructs where you take all the other news shows everywhere and combine their audiences and put them up against Bret Baier's?
Why don't you take a half an hour and watch the former President on Univision yesterday
then try to defend that nonsense against Harris's performance.
Frankly, I'd rather Putin see angry Harris.
They would defend Trump even if he started speaking entirely in pig latin.
You said most people get their news from Brett Baiers show. That is not close to being true.
I already have. The problem is that it has nothing to do with Kamala Harris failing to do a simple interview with Bret Baier.
It is the biggest news show.
on a network that owes 3/4 of a billion dollar settlement for lying to the american public, and looking at another...
A whole bunch of times he said it. You can watch starting at 3:00 minutes.It makes no difference which speech, he has said it repeatedly. Trump is traitor to his oath of office and the Constitution. If one supports Trump, one is supporting a traitor and those who do are little better than Traitors themselves.
David Muir's nightly news on ABC has more than double Baiers audience.
bret will be doing irregularity commercials next year just to feed his family ...
A, B, and C.
D was expected the moment she went off the rails (with the 1st question).
I knew I should have included "All of the above."
How can anybody listening to that interview vote for her to be president of the United States?
Those are the people who do stupid stuff like vote for her because she's not Trump.
Because she's not a felon, self avowed sexual predator and convicted fraudster.
Yesterday Trump claimed he stopped John Deere from moving 600 jobs to Mexico and doubled down on illegal immigrants in Springfield OH eating cats and dogs.
John Deere announced that that claim was false. The Mayor of Springfield expressed his exasperation with the former Presidents lies and the current Republican candidate for the Senate, an out of state car dealer "verifying" that the former Presidents claims are true.
How can anybody listening to that interview vote for Trump to be president of the United States?
Based on the time-honored question of whether you are better off now than you were 4 years ago, character goes right out the window.
Simple: Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?
Fitness for office is the floor for a presidential candidate, not the ceiling. When Gen. McChrystal endorsed Harris a few weeks ago he specifically mentioned character as his deciding factor. Character is destiny.
Now you are making sense.
And what kind of character can we take from someone who talks over the interviewer while refusing to answer questions?
Yes
Those are the dependable votes the democrats have.
The democrat party may have lost others. That is why Harris was forced to do that interview last night. I think the Harris campaign will regret putting her there,
I'm sure.
Not everyone is immune from higher prices and rampant crime.
Crime is down, inflation is down, wages are up.
Let me clarify, as I have many times, these are not attributes that any one admin has much control over. They are effects of market forces which have little to do with politics.
No. That is why I inserted the adjusted FBI crime figures.
inflation is down
Down from the high that Biden created with his reckless spending. Trump left us with barely any inflation.
wages are up.
Enough to counter inflation? Can you show us that?
People who watched Trump drown on Univision yesterday feel the same way today,
especially the Republican Hispanics who invited him aboard.
4 years ago we were in the middle of a pandemic incompetently mismanaged by a moron ...
For 2 and 3 years ago? Do better.
Your alternate facts don't hold up in the light of day. Neither Trump nor Biden created the inflation from a world wide pandemic. Or maybe both if you want to factor in the stimulus pay outs people got during the pandemic that a bi-partisan Congress voted for and both Presidents signed. Also here's a hint - Joe's not on the ballot anymore...
Yes.
Just this morning, the New York Times gave credit to President Trump for the rapid development of the vaccine.
They managed to say he deserved "some" of the credit.
If you really believe that I'll look forward to hearing from you on the day/days after the election.
Trump supporters dont care if he lies. And that is not a sweeping generalization, if you believe his polling numbers.
Yes, the Biden years. That is when the FBI wasn't getting crime stats from major cities (and still isn't) and somehow missed 1,699 Murders in 2022, showing crime increased by 4.5% in 2022 instead of dropping 2.1 %.
Neither Trump nor Biden creates the inflation from a world wide pandemic.
Inflation is caused by government spending/printing of money. Economics 1.0
Yes.
Here is the other side of that:
While price growth for some common purchases is slowing or even reversing, there are few parts of the economy where prices are outright lower today than pre-pandemic. And while average pay gains have narrowly outpaced inflation, that’s not the case for every household.
Inflation vs. wages: How rising prices stack up against growing pay (nbcnews.com)
... after agent orange ignored the significance of the pandemic for the first 6 months while vaccine development had already been started from the beginning of the threat ...
Yes. Absolutely by at least a factor of three.
Although I would argue that that is a stupid measurement to make this particular decision.
And what does the pandemic have to do with Kamala's failed interview?
you're the one that asked if I was better off 4 years ago. 4 years ago was the pandemic ...
It was a rhetorical question. Not for you personally.
Fuck, yes!
4 years ago the closest hospital parking lot to me was filled with refrigerated trailers full of texans ...
True. A President can encourage science and development or discourage it.
Most of what happened would have happened regardless of who was in the WH.
Trump did not discourage it so he deserves "some" of the credit.
His claims about cutting red tape or speeding up the process are dubious at best.
More likely his normal exaggerations. Low hanging fruit.
The way certain states are behaving, we may not have a clear answer for many days.
Regardless, I will be here no matter which one prevails.
Actually, I think they are amused and admire what they consider to be hutzpah.
No. I'm not that stupid. Especially after watching Harris implode during the interview.
Not by a long shot. Inflation is still up, illegals all over like roaches, crime is up, 2 new conflicts we are involved in, sending BILLIONS to other countries while US citizens are struggling...
Only a fool would think we are better off.
And now Biden is using B2's to bomb Yemen. Why?
I think it's interesting (hilarious) that someone so concerned about crime is supporting a convicted felon facing more criminal indictments for president ...
They didn't screw with the numbers to pathetically make a failure look good.
You're hung up on this felon thing like it means something. There is nothing prohibiting him from running office. Just like there is nothng that kept a racist like Biden from running.
Also it shows you have not been paying attention to how the appeals are going.
Now we have excuse making for a convicted felon who wants to be POTUS. We are fallen.
No excuses. Just pointing out the obvious to the oblivious.
Without a doubt a resounding YES! Four years ago, unemployment was at record highs, we had a President lying about a deadly pandemic putting Americans lives at risk all for his ego, had already been impeached by congress, inspired a violent insurrection attempt and was an unmitigated embarrassment to any patriotic American with more than half a brain.
What is wrong with your understanding of propaganda?
Covid brought the economy to a standstill and the fed reduced interest rates to nothing.
The Supply chain backlog created by Covid emptied stores of most goods.
Zero growth means zero inflation, that is a BAD THING.
When the supply chain started to relax inflation started creeping back,
then it raced to over 9%
BEFORE the INFLATION REDUCTION ACT passed.
By the time the IRA passed inflation was already down to 7%. kept dropping partially,
we are assuming, because of the IRA.
Inflation is currently at 2.4%, almost perfect for a thriving economy, robust stock market and real-estate market.
He knows enough to understand simply calling a bill the inflation reduction act, doesn't mean it lowers inflation. Calling a bill that increases spending and the deficit which actually creates inflationary pressures is the "Inflation Reduction Act" is a prime example of propaganda.
Lol. I guess it shows why they called it the inflation reduction act, even though that wasn't the point of it (it was the rebranded Build Back Better Act) and even Biden admits it had nothing to do with lowering inflation. Inflation was more important than climate change in 2022 so they just slapped a new name on it. I guess that's why they give bills stupid labels, some people believe them.
lmost perfect for a thriving economy, robust stock market and real-estate market.
It's 25% higher than targeted. That's not "almost perfect" in any world.
As of October 10, 2024, the current inflation rate in the United States is 2.4%
Dehumanizing fear mongering. Disgusting.
Preliminary data from 88 cities showed that violent crime has continued to decline considerably in 2024, including a 16.9% decline in murder, a 7.5% decrease in rape, a 3.4% decrease in aggravated assault, and a 5.2% decline in robbery
Helping to defend our allies against an attack from a murdering genocidal authoritarian criminal is the least we could do. Anyone who thinks otherwise should be ashamed of themselves, but I guess some vile unpatriotic traitors simply have no shame.
It's 2.4% currently and the public target is 2.0%, better check that calculator.
Statistics, damned statisics and lies?
We now hear the lament that Harris agreed to 20 minutes.
If Harris can only do 20 minutes with Bret Baier, how is she going to fare against Xi, Putin and Raisi?
I didn't know Xi, Putin and Raisi did interview tv shows.
She would have to deal with them as president. What will she do then?
I think who the coward is in the race for POTUS has already been identified by the majority of americans ...
Not debate them on tv.
Diplomacy is done between the State Department and Foreign Service Officers. You should already know this.
If one can't answer simple questions in the confines of the state of PA, one can hardly stand up to hostile enemies armed with nuclear weapons.
trump is a coward and dealing with russian collaborators will be the frosting on the anti-democratic maga domestic terrorist cake ...
I suppose she could score some points with you if, rather than stand up to them. she told the world how much she loves and admires them? She could give them intelligence given to us by our allies too?
Ask Trump if he won in 2020.
I'm waiting for that next flip/flop here ...
You must have the patience of Job, with all the waiting that you do.
meh, the last flip/flop took 3.5 years ...
They won't bother talking to her, they will just do what they want.
Like they did with Biden?
Then the American voters have a clear choice.
convicted felon and indicted traitor versus a seasoned prosecuting attorney VP with 4 years of on the job training.
The first admission i have seen that Biden is so incompetent that Harris has been acting president for the last 4 years.
I'd be careful dancing around that old and incoherent bonfire now ...
don't care to address the convicted felon and indicted traitor part, huh?
Even if that were true, no normal Americans give a shit.
According to you, normal Americans dont care if their president is a traitor. Fascinating take.
... what happens to criminal/traitor trump after he's held accountable.
Still waiting for the proof of that. Just remember, hurt feelings aren't proof.
So i wonder if all the posters here who belittled the posters who questioned the FBI stats on violent crimes will get an apology?
Good question.
That was quite a reversal.
That was a 6.3 point swing.
BAIER: Why are Americans saying this country is on the wrong track? You've been in office for 3.5 years.
HARRIS: And, Donald Trump has been running for office... you and I both know what I am talking about.
BAIER: I actually don't... what are you talking about?
HARRIS: What I'm talking about is... over the last decade.. people have become - but, listen - over the last decade, it's clear to me...
Harris did fine, the MAGA are deaf dumb and blind to anything that isn’t Trump’s incoherent babbling.
If Harris did fine, why the endless need to always invoke Trump?
I'm going to end this with an old painting that scientists are now examining because some believe that people in art museums spend the most time looking at.
"Girl with a Pearl earring."
You see, people keep looking back and forth between the girl's face and the Pearl earring. Kind of like the democrats worn out strategy of substance vs the shiny object.
Hope to be back in a few.
Most of us know the answer to that question and will try and help you.
Actually the viewer's eye dances from her eye to her mouth then to the earing and back to her eye.Vemmer was not interested in your 2-dimensional world view. Leave art to those who are capable of understanding it and don't apply partisan histrionics to it.
For somebody who couldn't answer a single question. Or do you think she did fine keeping the talking points going?
Campaign advertising for races in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa are being broadcast here. Democrats are flooding the airwaves with some exceptionally vile ads while there's been little Republican advertising. The complaints about Trump ring hollow.
ABC News (with David Muir) aired 10 minutes of a Kamala Harris rally as news reporting. Harris is attempting to be as obnoxious as Nancy Pelosi. And it looked like the crowd was watching their cell phones for cues to cheer. Pelosi never pushed legislation through the House on its merits; she dissed the opposition and brow beat the fence sitters to get what she wanted. Nancy Pelosi is the true queen of odious politics; Hillary Clinton was only a wannabe. And Harris is making a valiant attempt to become heir apparent.
The political polling has become totally worthless now that voting has started. The unbiased liberal press is scrambling to shift to exit polling but how does that work with mail-in ballots? Not to worry, the election will be certified as fair, honest, and above board; unless Harris loses, of course. The unbiased liberal press will engage in a deranged frenzy of tabloid reporting before the election is over since that's all they have left.
Meanwhile, Israel is being forced to tell the world what is off the table by a President Biden who tells the world nothing is off the table. Yet Benjamin Netanyahu is winning wars while Joe Biden has had his ass kicked at every turn. Tie Israel's hands and they'll still win a victory. Why can't the US elect a leader like Netanyahu?
It's beginning to look like 'V for Victory' Zelensky is pushing to get everything on Ukraine's wish list - from the West, not Russia - before Ukraine folds. Taking the war to Russia with the Kursk offensive hasn't changed anything on the front lines. In fact, Ukraine winning that battle has weakened the war effort so that a negotiated capitulation becomes more likely. Zelensky can't risk pissing off Europe and the United States now. So, NATO now has Ukraine where it wants it; weak, dependent, and begging.
Wow!!!!! Outstanding points
Only the truth from you
I'll second that.
All spoken like a true MAGA.
