Kamala Harris mocked for post celebrating one-year anniversary of failed presidential campaign
Former Vice President Kamala Harris was mocked on Monday for commemorating the one-year anniversary of the start of her failed presidential campaign.
One year ago Monday, then-President Joe Biden announced via social media that he would be dropping out of the presidential race.
He shortly thereafter endorsed Harris, who went on to become the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election.

Harris celebrated the anniversary by writing a post on X with photos from her past campaign.
'One year ago today, I began my campaign for President of the United States. Over the 107 days of our race, I had the opportunity and honor to travel our nation and meet with Americans who were fighting for a better future. And today, millions of Americans continue to stand up for our values, our ideals, and our democracy. Their courage and resolve inspires me. Whether you are attending a protest, calling your representatives, or building community, I want to say: Thank you. We are in this fight together,' Harris wrote.

Political commentator Link Lauren agreed, 'No mention of Biden again. Really trying to erase her association with him. She was there in lockstep with that failing administration. I don't have amnesia.'
'I wonder what caused that campaign to begin on July 21,' National Review senior writer Dan McLaughlin remarked.

'Your failure and reputation were complete,' Townhall.com columnist Kurt Schlichter wrote.

Trump says he expects a total of $36M from CBS parent in ‘60 Minutes' settlement, confirming exclusive Post report
President Trump said he expects to receive a total of $36 million as a result of his lawsuit against CBS News over a '60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris — confirming an exclusive report by The Post. Trump, who reached a $16 million settlement with CBS parent Paramount from his lawsuit over the controversial '60 Minutes' interview, said he expects an additional $20 million in advertising and public service announcements from Skydance Media once it takes control of Paramount. 'This is another in a long line of VICTORIES over the Fake News Media, who we are holding to account for their widespread fraud and deceit.' Trump said in a social media post late Tuesday. 5 President Donald Trump says he expects an additional $20 million in advertising and public service announcements from Skydance Media. AP 'We also anticipate receiving $20 Million Dollars more from the new Owners, in Advertising, PSAs, or similar Programming, for a total of over $36 Million Dollars,' Trump wrote on his Truth Social account. Earlier this month, The Post's Charles Gasparino revealed that Skydance, the Hollywood production company behind 'Top Gun: Maverick' and multiple 'Mission: Impossible' installments, committed to airing public service ads tied to Trump-backed conservative causes in talks over settling his lawsuit against CBS's '60 Minutes.' The $20 million would come on top of the $16 million that current Paramount management agreed earlier this month to pay to settle Trump's suit alleging election interference by '60 Minutes.' CBS has previously said its settlement of the '60 Minutes' suit doesn't include any additional compensation, such as public-service announcements. Paramount and Skydance both declined to comment on Trump's latest social media post. A Paramount spokesperson referred The Post to its previous statement which read: 'Contrary to some news reports or media speculation, Paramount's settlement with President Trump does not include PSAs or anything related to PSAs.' 'Paramount has no knowledge of any promises or commitments made to President Trump other than those set forth in the settlement proposed by the mediator and accepted by the parties,' the spokesperson for the media conglomerate said. 5 Skydance Media is run by CEO David Ellison, the son of Oracle co-founder and Trump backer Larry Ellison. AFP via Getty Images Trump sued '60 Minutes' and CBS News last October, accusing the network of deceitfully editing an interview with Democratic presidential candidate Harris to make her sound better. CBS denied any wrongdoing or doctoring of her comments. The editing became an issue after CBS aired one version of Harris answering a question about Israel on 'Face the Nation,' and then aired what it called a more succinct version on '60 Minutes.' 5 Shari Redstone is controlling shareholder of Paramount Global, parent company of CBS. Variety via Getty Images The legal fight has unfolded as Skydance seeks Federal Communications Commission approval for its deal to acquire Paramount. Earlier this week, Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) wrote Skydance Chief Executive David Ellison seeking details about any arrangement with Trump beyond the settlement. 'Is there currently any arrangement under which you or Skydance will provide compensation, advertising, or promotional activities that in any way assist President Trump, his family, his presidential library, or other Administration officials?' the letter asked. 5 Trump settled with Paramount after suing subsidiary CBS over a '60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris. 60 Minutes / CBS People familiar with the companies' thinking told the Wall Street Journal that Paramount and Skydance are anticipating FCC approval before the end of summer now that the settlement has been reached. Last week Ellison met with FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and other senior officials. In a regulatory filing memorializing the meeting, Skydance said it discussed its 'commitment to unbiased journalism and its embrace of diverse viewpoints, principles that will ensure CBS's editorial decision-making reflects the varied ideological perspectives of American viewers.' 5 Paramount is set to merge with Skydance in a deal valued at $8 billion. Christopher Sadowski Gasparino reported earlier this month that once Ellison takes control of Paramount, the company's television properties will run between $15 million and $20 million of public service ads to promote causes supported by the president,' citing 'a source with knowledge of the negotiations.' 'There is an anticipation of a mid-eight-figure sum that will be allocated by the network to PSA advertisements and other broadcast transmissions that support conservative causes supported by President Trump,' the source told Gasparino. Paramount denied any knowledge of a 'side deal.' In a statement to On The Money, a spokesperson said that 'Paramount knows nothing about the alleged side deal between Trump\Ellison, had absolutely nothing to do with it, nor was it a part of what the board approved, and the mediator sanctioned.' The president also sued Disney's ABC for defamation and received $16 million and an apology after 'This Week' anchor George Stephanopolous misstated the facts surrounding a civil judgment against Trump.

Reactions: Trump Saying He Wants To Deport US Citizens
We recently posted about President Donald Trump's visit to the new "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention facility, where he spoke about his mass deportation goals. "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time," he said about US citizens during a press conference. "People that whack people over the head with a baseball bat from behind when they're not looking and kill them. People that knife you when you're walking down the street." "They're not new to our country, they're old to our country. Many of them were born in our country. I think we oughta get them the hell outta here, too, if you wanna know the truth," Trump went on. "So maybe that'll be the next job that we'll work on together." You read that right — the president of the United States said some citizens should be deported. We shared some of the thousands of comments about it left on Reddit, and the BuzzFeed Community chimed in big-time. Here's what some of the nearly 500 commenters had to say: "Until the American people wake up and impeach Trump, no one is safe." —smileyhawk825 "The GOP and mainstream Democrats have been on a fascist path for decades, and with Trump and clowns in office, it's full speed ahead. The oath to defend the Constitution means nothing to the Trump Administration. The fascists are dedicated to the oligarchs, and under this Administration, they are brazenly above the law. There is no balance of power in the three branches of the federal government anymore. Americans need to rise up to end this tyranny." "As somebody seeing this from the UK, it is staggering how the majority of the US voted for this SOB, knowing what he was like when he was President before, over Harris." "We are fucked. We can't even protest or voice our 1st Amendment right without worrying about being arrested. If I could, I'd move to another country." —fluffytooth336 "Pretty soon, it'll be anyone who says anything negative about Trump or any of his precious minions. It's sickening to think how many ignorant people there are in our country that are content to be lemmings." "He's a felon!!! He needs to be in PRISON!! And NOT one of those guarded fancy prisons, put him in general population and see how long he lasts!!!!!" "Trump's talking about naturalized citizens, like his wife, Melania. He's already looking for a way to strip naturalized citizens of their citizenship by claiming he's denaturalizing 'criminals' and then deporting them. When he talks about immigrants, he's not just talking about the undocumented but about everyone who wasn't born in America. Because to him, those are the people who vote Democrat. He's trying to intimidate a huge chunk of America into not saying anything bad about him." "I'm an American born abroad to US citizens. Frankly, I have been protesting and posting about Orange Don and his minions. I'm waiting for ICE to show up." —envyofangels "Great idea — let's start with POTUS!!!!!" "As a 75-year-old veteran who was born here, I'm self-deporting ASAP." "Considering that Felonious Bonespurs (aka Donald Trump) has a worse criminal record than most of the people he is deporting, perhaps we should look for someplace to send him." "I've been telling my parents this was going to happen since November. They're both naturalized, not MAGA, but they think someone is going to stop this. No one is stopping this, in fact they're paving the way. I'm just waiting for my son's passport and I'm out. I don't want to deal with this anymore." —maybbeyesmaybbeno "If the USA still exists in 50 years, the history books will be absurd. 'Teacher, you mean to tell me my ancestors voted a cartoon villain for president? Twice?? WILLINGLY???'" "No one should be surprised. This is the Trump that has been in plain sight since day one. American voters only see and hear what they choose to. If people would actually pay attention, this man would have already been in prison." "I keep thinking I will wake up in the morning and realize it was a horrible dream, and then I wake up. Repeat. I seriously cannot take this any longer." "Nothing surprises me. I'm one of those naturalized citizens who wasn't born in this country. Also a US Air Force veteran, but I always knew that meant nothing. I always knew we were never really free, but it's truly sad to watch it actually happen." —iskinder "I know it all looks pretty bleak because we have an amoral, ignorant orange shitstain as President, but this is still America. And in America, we still have a system of checks and balances in our three branches of government. We can't do anything about the aforementioned shitstain, and we can't do anything about the Supreme Court, but we can do something about our legislative branch." "When the president is a 34-time convicted felon and liable for sexual abuse, the checks and balances don't exist anymore." "When TF is someone going to do something? He's violating laws, and they're just letting him... like, there's NOTHING we can do but just allow this crazy ass shit to keep happening?? It's been 6 months! Imagine where we're going to be by Christmas, guys..." "Trump turned 1,500 bad people loose in the US... the J6 mob!" —silkypotato1354 "He's an idiot who is completely self-centered. He is mean, a bully, and is using the power of the presidency to hurt anyone or everyone he wants." "People wonder why German society did nothing about the Holocaust. The US today has no idea what is happening in Trump's concentration camps. He is a dictator. The US has shown the world its true face: money, whiteness, power, and elitism... nothing else matters." "The die-hard supporters won't say anything until he comes for them. The removal of birthright citizenship should give everyone pause. This just seems to be part of the 'plan' for his becoming emperor for life. It seems he's going to try deporting anyone he doesn't like, and no one will be safe." "It's sad that the Supreme Court is letting him destroy the country for his own benefit. It's also sad that no judges are allowed to stop his executive orders. He is the destructive annihilator. Plus, people are bowing to his unreal and unbelievable demands and commands. He downplays, denies, deflects, projects, gaslights, manipulates, usurps and fucks everybody and everything up." —smellycowboy28 "Hear me out. Saying things like, 'If the Democrats did this…' We all know that already. Start calling people out at the statewide and local levels. They are the ones doing this and condoning this. Enough whataboutism?! This is happening right now before our very eyes." "When one issue voters bury their heads in the sand about the real issues, WTF did they think was going to happen?" "Twelve people have died in ICE captivity so far in 2025. We have the concentration camps being set up already. I keep fearing they'll not just pull a page from the Nazi playbook, but the last several chapters." And finally, "This was expected, honestly. Donald Trump will start deporting any person of color who committed a minor crime, but the January 6 people who assaulted a police officer were freed the second Trump got elected." —emersonbrown What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
