Amazon’s blurb touting the October 15 release pre-order:
stephen’s monologue for a special late-night show
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is honored to be the only late night television show on Vice President Kamala Harris’s media blitz, while her Republican opponent is busy undercutting FEMA’s efforts to dig out from the devastation of Hurricane Helene, and his friend Elon Musk is once again the internet’s favorite laughing stock.
and the lady herself
The Democratic nominee for president of the United States returns for her seventh visit to The Late Show and sits down for a four-part interview with Stephen Colbert. Watch as she and Stephen discuss the devastation of Hurricane Helene and the crude cynicism of Donald Trump who is spreading misinformation about FEMA’s response as the potentially catastrophic Hurricane Milton approaches landfall in Florida. Stick around for three more segments with Vice President Kamala Harris!
more of Kamala & Stephen
VP Kamala Harris points out that her opponent seems to value his “friendships” with dictators more than connecting with the American people. Stick around for more with VP Kamala Harris!
VP Kamala Harris acknowledges that voters are seeking change in this election, and she lists the ways she would be a different leader than President Joe Biden. Stick around for more with VP Kamala Harris!
“The Champagne of Beers,” Miller High Life, was the brew of choice when VP Kamala Harris agreed to crack a beer with Stephen Colbert in the final segment of her four-part interview on The Late Show.

Ok so, Olbermann is saying that Wapo is saying that Woodward is saying that trump didn’t give Putin those dinky home test kits, he gave him advanced proprietary testing Machines before such home kits were widely available
I see an homage to Johnny Hart in that cartooon.

Looks like a case of the old multi level telling of a simple story that ends up contorted and wrong after a few iterations of telling. There’s a reason hearsay is generally inadmissible in court. Guess I’ll have to read the book.
luckily KO posts the transcript, please hold
you’re going to have to settle for the Hindustan Times for now:

In 2019 Trump said John Kerry should be prosecuted for talking to Iran.

Jimmy Kimmel:
An offshoot of this story is a look-back at his COVID handling overall.

Trump Bibles are made in Hangzhou, China. They shipped 120,000 of them this year to US. Cost to wholesaler is $3 each. Trump is selling them for $60. Are his new China tariffs going to be slapped on these since they cost American jobs, or will these get one of his famous waivers.
Bloomberg News: “The Kremlin confirmed that Trump, while president, sent Russian President Vladimir Putin Covid-19 testing devices during the height of the pandemic.”.. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-09/kremlin-confirms-trump-sent-putin-covid-tests-while-president
Bink, have to admit, this is the first time I’ve looked at the Hindustani Times. I don’t doubt for a moment the underlying premise that CS sent tests of some kind to Putin. I’m not sure what “devices” means, but I would like to know. I don’t think it matters whether they were the home test kits we couldn’t get or more sophisticated tests. In either case he was putting his relationship with Putin over his responsibility to the public health apparatus of the US.
Poobah, you should send that Logan Act quote from CS to JDouche’s campaign site.
chilling AP graphic. As Tampa mayor said, If you stay you die
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna174632
Kremlin reportedly confirms Trump sent Putin Covid test machines, denies Putin phone calls since he left office
Likely the 2020 version of this ID NOW COVID-19 2.0 rig. Definitely a step (or three) above the home test kits (by about $250), but Abbott also manufactures the Binax tests, which we have lying around.
National tracker, huge sample:
🔵 Harris 51% (+6)
🔴 Trump 45%
Last poll – 🔵 Harris +5
Morning Consult – 11,353 LikelyVoters 10/6
Sturg, back to my comment, now expanded – So who to trust, Bob Woodward or CS & the Kremlin? Such a difficult choice….🤔🙄🤣
Sooooo……,Mump stole and hid hundreds of boxes of state secrets and then called the Russian? That seems traitorous.
Not trusting polls, particularly national ones, but isn’t the rule of thumb under our gerrymandered and slanted EC advantage for Repubs that a nationwide margin of 3% or more is needed to win the EC? And MC claims a MOE of +/- 1%.
Oh, it matters.
A lot.
March-May 2020 was pre-vaccine, lockdown, medical-overload, height of covid pandemic, while trump was smuggling technology to adversaries through i’d like to know what channels
True Pogo, assumption is she has to match Biden’s roughly 4.0 in 2020 but I think there is a post-Dobbs, hidden surge posters aren’t picking up. Or maybe I am watching too much TikTok
Also pollsters are still compensating for hidden Trump vote in past elections, perhaps overcompensating.
I’ve been predicting hidden post-Dobbs surge since Kansas. I think the women are going to seriously kick some bigot butt cause they’re mad as hell and aren’t gonna take it anymore.
That’s for the presidential election, as for House and senate, that surely would be nice.
That smuggled med-tech could have been a HUGE bargaining chip for Putin-held hostages who didn’t get released until Biden/Harris negotiated it
Also there is no contest for the ground game. Republicans are stunningly behind in paid staff, offices, volunteer organizing. They have enthusiasm but aren’t systematiclly channeling it for getting out vote, relying on rallies and unaccountable third parties like Elon and Charlie Kirk.
In politics, Tie Goes To the Ground
today’s meme…
Interesting: person I know was arrested in China for distributing bibles.
I didn’t know Ethel Kennedy was still alive. That means RFKjr is doing all this in front of his mother.
I’m glad to see Madam Vice President doing leadership. No doubt some will cry foul.
Bink , now I’m getting curious about timing, etc. Will do some research when I can steal some time.
I miss the days when Ohio decided the victor in the election. I live so close to the Michigan border I still feel the heat. The 2 repuggs running for Senate and House seats are so awful they just may unseat Brown and Kaptur here. Derrick Merrin and Bernie Moreno…what a pair. Moreno is from a Colombian ruling class family of unlimited wealth who owns multiple car dealerships and screwed them out of overtime pay until the courts made him pay. Merrin is just a JD Vance coattail rider with 100% the same viewpoints and causes.
My ballot just arrived. I’ll turn it in tomorrow.
Looks like Milton is calming down a bit, as predicted. Wind speed is down to 130mph. on the borderline between cat3 and cat4 At one point I read it briefly had wind speeds up as high as 190.
There is still going to be a large storm surge.

They just announced Barack Obama rally in Pittsburgh tomorrow night
Stern show just posted the full hour of Kamala interview..
My money is on CS having given Vlad Abbott’s Alinity system back in 2020. Screw the citizens of the US.
This is why i put you on the case 🥂 😜
i got another question for you
Kamala’s media blitz with Stern and Cobert is a good thing, 3 days later and nobody even remembers she did 60 min. Yet she gets credit for dealing with a tough interview. She has some smart people, and she gets out of their way.
Jack
…since i’m such an independent thinker, i’m registered ‘independent’ (obviously), so i get all the PAC attack mailers.
The Repulsivelicans can’t find a bad picture of her 😆
i’ll listen to the Stern interview but if he asks if she resents her father and is in love with the law i’m dipping
Bink, what would that question be?
What else did he give him?
GOP ticket = Unfit + Unqualified
Vote Harris/Walz 2024 🇺🇸 Adults In Charge 🦅
The etching on his tombstone…wasn’t nice, didn’t care.
Bink? Other than the BJs?
I have it on certified authorized fact the the Democrats have planned for a 72F degree day on January 20 for the inauguration. If the unthinkable happens, fire will rain down on the inaugural swearing-in, biblical thunder bolts. Yeah, we done-got this weather thing.
A close work-friend with whim I worked with for many years in the factory passed at 75, just 4 months my senior. Even though I haven’t seen him in 22 years, the memories of how a good friend with a fatalistic hilarious sense of humor made drudgery factory work tolerable, are present in my thoughts, all day today. Tom. Good guy.
