Something interesting in the Kamala intensity on FOX:

That stupid bastard Bret Baier looked as though he’d rather be anywhere else when the VP raised her pitch and intensity when describing Orangina’s unfitness for office, and it occurred to me that he had a response that males have when mature women have had enough of the bullshit and really, REALLY, call them on it.

For Bret, it may be bad early toilet training or a mother who disciplined with an iron fist (Confession: I had both). When you as a male see a woman get that intense, you know, you KNOW, that you crossed the line and are in real trouble now.

I’m certain the producers saw the dynamic and brought the curtain down. Bret will forever be known as the FOX guy who got pantsed and spanked on national television and may yet make the YouTube hall of Fame on this entry.

But I didn’t get Huggy Bear’s counter to her point that Joe’s Day One effort to get a bill passed on the border issue was—did I hear this right?—before Trump got into politics???

He WAS President at some point right? I know his reign was like someone who won a cereal box top contest, but I WASN’T imagining all that, yah??

She was prepared and not there to play games either. Bret found out she wasn’t about to take his BS and gaslighting. I hope more than ever she wins so they have no choice but to be more respectful of her and the office she will be holding.

It was powerful. She came across as someone who could absolutely handle the rigors of the office and the steel spine it takes to lead a nation of 342 million. It also helps that what she bristled at wasn't a petty slight or personal affront, but a violation of the highest ideals we are supposed to preserve. That's a mark of character.

up until last night, Harris has rarely shown her prosecutor face, but Brett sure got a full blast of it. He should have watched the vids of her in Congress, to know his game of putting the uppity woman in her place, was going to blow up in his face. But, hey, he's dumb as they come..

...when Faux gets high on its own supply. They start to believe their propaganda and Trump's lies about how she's not intelligent and can't form a thought without a teleprompter. I know that facial expression from too many years in corporate America. She handed him his ass on a tray and all the aftercare handed out to him by his fellow stooges couldn't take the sting out.

Kamala was the AG for the richest state in the country. A senator. She is the current VP. And soon to be President. Did Fox think she would melt and break under a tv interview just because the channel is watched by mostly those of the opposite party??
