Maybe she needed the snacks for another reason …
**SNIP**
The failed 2024 Democratic presidential candidate went off on a bizarre (and nacho cheese-flavored) tangent while trying to make a point about DoorDash and affordable housing during her headline slot at the HumanX conference at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Sunday.
Harris, 60, left many baffled during her conversation with Nuno Sebastiao, CEO of data science company Feedzai, as she recounted ordering food on DoorDash to keep her going while watching last week’s Oscars.
“We did DoorDash ’cause I wanted Doritos. And the red carpet part was about to start and nobody wanted to leave to go to the grocery store. So it was DoorDash … So I was willing to give up whatever might be the tracking of Kamala Harris’ particular fondness for nacho cheese Doritos for the sake of getting a big bag of Doritos as I watched the Oscars,” she burbled.
Her actions were described as “consumer behavior” by a game Sebastiao in response.
“And that’s right. But here’s the thing: At what point do we also uplift and highlight the consumer’s right to also expect — and you can debate with me if it should be a right — I think it should,” Harris rambled on.
“To expect that the innovation would also be weighted in terms of solving their everyday problems, which are beyond my craving for Doritos, but about whatever — and I know the work is happening — around, you know, scientific discoveries, for example, to cure longstanding diseases.
“But I’m going to throw out another one,” she added, changing the subject almost completely. “I would love it if there would be an investment of resources in solving the affordable housing issue in America. Like, help me with that. Help me with that.”

California’s next governor.
She has a real problem - as do the folks who voted for her.
Her campaign team/inner circle did a helluva job keeping her as semi-coherent as she was in 2024.
Or doing pot, which would give her the ‘munchies’.
Somebody still thinks she is worth bribing...
I just adore her she is so much fun to watch I would never want her anywhere near anything important but she sure is entertaining
That usually = DEATH
“”””She has a real problem - as do the folks who voted for her.”””
Don’t you go insulting Kamala now. She is a very tough chick. Sure, she might get knocked down occasionally but she gets back on her knees in no time.
Okay, showing my age here, but it sounds like she’s channeling the spirit of the late Professor Irwin Corey (”The world’s foremost authority.”)
"Alright, everyone, listen up, because, you know, I was thinking the other day, and it’s important, it’s really important, to think about these things, right? So, I was on my phone, and I was like, 'Kammie, you need some snacks.' Because, you see, the Oscars were on, or maybe it was the Grammys, or maybe it was just Tuesday—I don’t know, time is a construct, right? But the red carpet part, or maybe the commercials, were about to start, and nobody wanted to leave. Nobody. Not me, not my cat, not the neighbor’s goldfish. So, I said, 'Let’s do the DoorDash thing.' And I ordered, you know, the cheesy puffs. Or maybe it was the spicy chips. Or maybe it was both, because choices, right? Choices are important.But here’s the thing, here’s the thing, and I want you to hear me on this, because it’s deep, it’s profound. When I clicked that button, that little 'confirm order' button, I was like, 'Kammie, you’re giving up something.' And I don’t mean the $5.99 for the cheesy puffs, though, let’s be real, that’s a lot for a bag of air with flavor dust, right? No, I mean the tracking. The data. The algorithm. It’s watching me, it’s watching my cheesy puff obsession, and I’m like, 'Okay, fine, take it, take my snack soul, but give me the puffs!' And I did it. I did it for the convenience, for the joy, for the crunch. But then I thought, wait, wait, wait—what’s the cost? Not the $5.99, but the cost, you know, the big cost, the societal cost.
Because, see, we’re living in a time, and it’s a time, it’s a moment, it’s a vibe, where we’ve got to ask ourselves, what are we innovating for? What’s the innovation? Is it just for the cheesy puffs? Is it just for the spicy chips? Or is it for something bigger, something more, something…I don’t know, cosmic? Like, I’m sitting there, munching away, and I’m thinking, 'Kammie, this app, this DoorDash, it’s great, it’s amazing, it’s delivering joy in 30 minutes or less, but what about the moon?' Yes, the moon. Why aren’t we innovating for the moon? Why aren’t we sending cheesy puffs to the moon? Because, listen, if we can track my snack habits, we can track lunar snack habits, right? It’s science. It’s progress. It’s…it’s something.
And then, and then, I thought, wait, hold on, hold on, because it’s not just about the moon, it’s about the housing. The housing! Because, you see, I’m munching my cheesy puffs, and I’m thinking, 'You’ve got a roof over your head, but what about everyone else?' What about the people who don’t have roofs? What about the people who can’t DoorDash their snacks because they’re too busy worrying about where they’re going to sleep? And I’m like, 'Why isn’t the algorithm fixing that?' Why isn’t the app, the innovation, the tech, the vibe, solving the housing crisis? Because, listen, if we can deliver cheesy puffs in 30 minutes, we can deliver houses, right? Houses in 30 minutes! Modular houses, 3D-printed houses, tiny houses, big houses, houses with snack drawers built in! It’s possible, it’s doable, it’s…it’s a dream, maybe, but dreams are important, right?
And then, and then, I thought, wait, wait, wait, because it’s not just about the housing, it’s about the dolphins. Yes, the dolphins! Because, see, I’m munching my spicy chips, and I’m thinking, 'Kamala, these chips are spicy, and the ocean is spicy, and the dolphins are in the ocean, and they’re stressed.' They’re stressed! And I’m like, 'Why isn’t the algorithm fixing the dolphin stress?' Why isn’t DoorDash delivering mental health support to the dolphins? Because, listen, if we can track my cheesy puff cravings, we can track dolphin emotions, right? It’s data, it’s innovation, it’s…it’s compassion, maybe, or maybe it’s just me thinking too much while eating snacks.
But here’s the thing, here’s the thing, and I want you to hear me on this, because it’s big, it’s huge, it’s everything. We’ve got to expect more. We’ve got to demand more. From the apps, from the tech, from the vibes, from the universe. Because, see, I’m sitting there, munching away, and I’m thinking, 'Kammie, you’ve got your cheesy puffs, you’ve got your spicy chips, but what about the world?' What about the moon, the houses, the dolphins, the dreams? And I’m like, 'We need innovation, but not just innovation, innovation with heart, innovation with soul, innovation with…I don’t know, snack vibes.' Because, listen, if we can order snacks online, we can order solutions online, right? Solutions for everything. Everything! And that’s what I’m thinking, that’s what I’m feeling, that’s what I’m…munching on. So, let’s do it. Let’s innovate. Let’s snack. Let’s dream. Let’s…yeah, let’s do that."
I have never known alcohol to produce such a stream of consciousness.
“Because, listen, if we can order snacks online, we can order solutions online, right? Solutions for everything.”
Solutions online? Kinda like DOGE???
The best parts are the Zero Hedge comments—all 781 of them—lol:

Thanks be that the most she has the power to abuse is the English language.
Her inner circle was very much like Joe’s inner circle.
Cover up, cover up, cover up. Deny, distract, and deceive. That’s what the Democrats do.
Thanks. 880 comments and all scorch her. “Please make it stop!”
That transcript is incredible. Is there a video clip of the whole thing? So far I've only found a 1:14 snippet on X (the link in comment #14). I want to post a link to the complete video to a couple of friends.
Thanks!
Cheese Doritos used to have a delicious cheese flavor.
Now they taste like sour cream.
Taco Doritos used to have a delicious taco flavor.
Now they taste like sour cream.
Plain Doritos have three ingredients: corn, oil, and salt. Flavored Doritos have about 20, with all but the first three bad for you.
