It’s no surprise that Stephen Colbert is totally in the tank for the Democrats, but he certainly doesn’t try to hide the fact when he has on a guest like Rachel Maddow with whom he can commiserate, i.e., drool all over Kamala Harris
In some minor news from Wednesday, we got another letter — this one from 111 former Republican national security officials explaining why they were voting for Harris. Yes, it’s the next “51 former intelligence officials” on Hunter Biden’s laptop or “16 Nobel prize-winning economists” warning how the world economy will suffer if Donald Trump is reelected.
Very clear and tough letter from 111 former GOP nat-security officials, on why they’re voting for Harris.
(Some of them have already come out for her; a debut for some; most of them are recognizable names.)

Maddow and Colbert were marveling over the broad coalition that Harris had created, ranging from Dick Cheney to AOC. What does it say that so many Republicans seem to be endorsing Harris?
Well, to Glenn Greenwald, it just says they’re a bunch of Uniparty hypocrites. Just watch this love-fest:
I’d like to know the definition of the “bipartisan ruling class DC establishment,” please.

I wish there were clips of Rachel Maddow’s “Air America” show during the Bush administration – a show I went on often – to hear what she was saying about people like Dick Cheney and Reagan officials (exactly what she says about Trump every day) to understand how rotted this is.

What was it The Hill reported? Cheney, who was once the GOP’s Darth Vader, is now Luke Skywalker.
If only Trump had truly drained the swamp like he promised during his first term.
Remember when Steven Colbert used to mock people like Steven Colbert?

It’s pretty insane that Dick Cheney and AOC could be rooting for the same candidate.
It does certainly seem about protecting one’s personal interests above the nation’s tbh. 🤔

And those two people have opinions that people should follow?
Dick Cheney and AOC? Really… that should immediately make anyone in that thought bubble go, “Wait a minute… something isn’t right.”

These two deserve each other.
