Kamala Harris is obviously the biggest loser of the 2024 election, but there are many others who lost a lot on Tuesday and are worthy of a mention. Here is my list:
Joe Biden
The sitting president is getting absolutely eviscerated in the wake of Donald Trump’s win. There is an article in Politico that speaks to Democrat insiders who are “rageful” against him. They are livid he left them at a sharp disadvantage.
Jim Manley, top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, was quoted saying Biden has “done an enormous amount of damage to this country” and “his legacy is in tatters.” Yes, I agree. It has ruined his entire legacy as the guy who took out Trump because now he is the guy who stayed too long and allowed Trump to seize control over the country in even more pockets than before. And so Joe Biden is – no question – a big loser of this whole thing.
Liz Cheney
You would have to say that former Rep. Liz Cheney is up there, too. The Democrats paraded this woman around like she was somehow going to be their savior. And those of us who are more right-leaning were like, what the eff are you doing? Absolutely nobody likes Liz Cheney. She is not this principled person who just held the line against Donald Trump. She suffers from severe Trump Derangement Syndrome.
She led a dishonest congressional inquiry into January 6, in which she quietly coordinated with witnesses behind the backs of their lawyers. That is unethical. She did not present the evidence that was somewhat exonerating to the defendant, who was not represented on the panel of judgers. The only Republicans even on the panel were Liz Cheney and former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, both of whom have TDS and are no longer in Congress.
This is not a credible person when it comes to anything having to do with Trump, so the thought that they were going to get any available Republicans who had not already switched over was just absolute nonsense. No one will be listening to her anymore. Some of the Democrats are already like, ‘Liz Cheney was the problem.’ They trashed her just as soon as they picked her up. I hope you like your new friends, Liz. I hope you do.
Hollywood
Another one of the big losers? The celeb crowd. Beyoncé, loser. Oprah, huge loser. JLo, loser.
No one cares what Jennifer Lopez thinks. If you want to talk to me about what it is you are doing to your skin, I am all in. Go on. You have got my full attention. If you want to tell me who to vote for or what is happening with the economy or immigration, please sit down. No one cares. We would like to know what happened between you and Ben Affleck, what happened between you and Diddy, exactly what you are doing to your butt, and how you keep your skin so glowy. That will end the list of things we care about JLo’s opinion on.
Taylor Swift, sorry you effed around and found out you do not have unlimited influence. The young girls love you because you sing songs about men who break up with you and they can all relate to that. No one gives two sh-ts about your political opinion, so you should take it and stuff it. That could be your next song, “Stuff it.” That is what the American electorate told you.
Julia Roberts outed herself not only as a leftist (which we knew) but also as somebody who doesn’t understand loving, healthy relationships. She allegedly stole her current husband in a reported affair, so maybe she shouldn’t be the voice of the ad in which we talk about women betraying their husbands by injecting deceit into the marital relationship?
In the leftist view, marriages are apparently not about honesty, and talking about one’s differences, and agreeing to disagree on certain dicey issues. Instead, they are about lying if you cannot persuade your spouse to believe as you do. They believe in this so strongly, they put it in an ad and ran it everywhere. So, Julia Roberts is yet another big loser and so is her pal George Clooney, who did something similar in an ad aimed at men.
Speaking of George Clooney, you got Joe Biden out. How did it work out for you? How did that go? Maybe you should have said something a little earlier, like when you attended that fundraiser and saw he was totally incompetent and non compos mentis. You all STFU to try to save his political fortunes. Meanwhile, the clock was ticking and you blew it. Only when it was too obvious to deny did you say anything.
You, too, are a big loser, sir. I hope your billions are keeping you happy and bringing you comfort today.
The Lincoln Project
That brings me to the Lincoln Project. I mean, I might have to move them above Liz Cheney. I think I would, if not for the fact that you have no standing to lose when you start off a bottom feeder and you remain a bottom feeder.
Rick Wilson posted a video on Monday in a train station saying he knew unequivocally that Trump was going to lose and “will die in prison alone” with a “broken family” after trying to “steal the election.” I guess he took the Acela to crazy town.
Those predictions are worth about the same as Ann Selzer of The Des Moines Register, whose career is in tatters today. These guys should never be listened to about anything ever again. But it was not just Rick Wilson. George Conway has a piece in The Atlantic titled “America Did This to Itself.” This is his post-election rage. Here’s a flavor:
“…The man elected president last night is a depraved and brazen pathological liar, a shameless con man, a sociopathic criminal, a man who has no moral or social conscience, empathy, or remorse. He has no respect for the Constitution and laws he will swear to uphold, and on top of all that, he exhibits emotional and cognitive deficiencies that seem to be intensifying…”
He went on to write, “My own hope and belief about what would transpire last night was sadly and profoundly wrong. Like many, I have the emotional and intellectual flaw, if that’s what it is, of assuming that people are wiser and more decent than they actually turn out to be. I feel chastened, distraught about my apparently naive view of human nature.”
You see, that is the problem with the guys of the Lincoln Project. They overestimated us. They thought we were all smarter and more decent, and they have been reminded that we are dumb and disgusting and unethical. Good luck winning the next election. It is not going to work out so well for you, George and Rick.
Keith Olbermann
While we are on the topic of hysterical reaction, what kind of a discussion would be complete if we didn’t go to our old friend Keith Olbermann and see how he is handling the news. Let’s check in:
OLBERMANN: a note about this podcast. It will continue, but not right now. Gonna to take the weekend off. I do think the podcast has suffered from being a little conservative. Needs to be a little bit more pointed… It also needs to be not five days a week. I’m getting old here, and probably not daily. So let’s say this. I’m still working on this. I’ll bring you at least two of these a week, and definitely, let’s plan on this, a new one every Monday morning. Does that make sense? I mean, you don’t want to hear more about this anymore than I want to talk about this endlessly. When something interesting happens, something you may not have heard, something that has struck some memory or perhaps some insight within me, I will bring it to you. Because, bluntly, if the vice president had won, I was gonna retire or at least semi-retire. Can’t do that now, God damn it. I mean, I need a nap.
So, he might have retired, but really he is not retiring, but he has to go from five days a week to two days a week because of Donald Trump. There you have it. We are already making America great again. There will be a little less of Keith Olbermann because of Donald Trump.
Brian Stelter
And that is not all. CNN’s Brian Stelter tweeted out the following: “Will there be a journalistic brain drain in DC? A talent agent said what I’ve also heard anecdotally: A lot of reporters are “questioning if they have it in them to report on another Trump cycle.”
Now, I urge these people to try to get a grip because I guarantee you there are probably not many who have had the weird, tumultuous history with Trump that some of us have had. There is a way forward for you. It is to try to take your ego out of it and just report the news.
I know, it is radical. It sounds out there. You might need to take advantage of some psychedelics. I know you are still all on antidepressants from the first Trump years. But you need to work on taking your ego out of your news reporting and remember that the news is not about you. It is about the voters, the tens of millions of people who got out there and voted for Donald Trump, the Latino community, the white working class, and black men who feel heard for the first time in a long time, don’t feel shamed, and have had enough of being blamed for everything.
Joe Scarborough
No list of biggest losers would be complete without Joe Scarborough. He backed Joe Biden and was conspirator number one on the Joe Biden lies about his mental acuity up to the very last second because he wanted to hold on to the access to power. Then, the American public saw what happened at that debate and the next day Sybil showed up on the set of Morning Joe saying, ‘Joe has got to go to save the party. It’s obvious.’ Hello?!
And then switcheroo happened and in swoops in Kamala Harris. According to Joe Scarborough, she is the greatest thing since sliced bread. We have got to get behind Kamala Harris 100 percent. She is going to deliver. She is going to continue Joe Biden’s great economy. Trust me, you suffering working class people. I know better. This is a great economy. Inflation doesn’t matter.
Now, Kamala Harris has lost and he comes out and says, ‘I’ve been telling you all along that this social stuff that you’re putting the country through is a loser and she was going to lose because of it.’ He is truly Sybil and, therefore, a loser.
Honorable Mentions
Let’s be honest, the list goes on and on. On Friday’s show, I ran through a few more people that stand to lose a lot from Tuesday’s outcome, including the participants of those hilarious ‘White People for Kamala’ groups (remember them?), David Muir and his fellow debate moderators, Mark Cuban, and more.
