It surely will come as no surprise that the entertainment industry by and large is falling into line to support far-Left Kamala Harris’ presidential ambitions. Democrats always exploit the useful idiots in Hollywood and the music biz for their influence over the impressionable, the ignorant, and the star-struck.

Thus, Democrat Congressman and Chinese honey trap enthusiast Eric Swalwell rounded up a ragtag collection of performers mostly from the comedy world into a “Comics for Kamala” fundraiser Monday, held on the claustrophobic online stage of a Zoom meeting. The three-hour fundraiser, hosted by comedian Paul Mecurio (who?), featured such luminaries (sarcasm alert) as Max Greenfield, Lake Bell, Tom Lennon, Trae Crowder, Jay Ellis, Danny Zuker, Maz Jobrani, Al Madrigal, Lisa Ann Walter, David Koechner, Tim Heidecker, Ike Barinholtz, Adam Pally, Jesus Trejo, Ron Livingston, George Wallace, and Brandon Rainwater. I feel confident that I speak for every single American in flyover country when I say I have never heard of any of these people.

The names that were recognizable are almost entirely C- through D-list celebrities like Ed Helms, John Stamos, Julie Bowen, Megan Mullaly, Joel McHale, Kevin Nealon, and Roseanne Barr’s ex-husband Tom Arnold, whom I didn’t even know was still alive. Arguably the most well-known were Rosie O’Donnell, Mark Hamill, Kathy Griffin, Jon Hamm, Ben Stiller, Jason Bateman, and Patton Oswalt, all of whose careers are long past their sell-by date. Bateman, Hamm, Hamill, Stiller and several others are not even comics (at least Stiller admitted it), and the rest of the most well-known names are not now, nor have they ever been, funny.

There was a total of zero established A-listers – where were Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, unhinged Trump hater Jim Carrey, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart? – and zero new comic stars like John Mulany, Nate Bargatze, or Anthony Jeselnik. This is a testament either to a lack of celebrity interest in getting onboard the Kamala train or a lack of persuasiveness on the part of unlikeable punk Swalwell. Either way, the star power was lackluster, to put it mildly.

I am not enough of a masochist to have watched the entire epic failure, but the “highlights” making the rounds of the internet are apparently few and far between. The most-talked about on the internet was Parks and Recreation star and former Republican Nick Offerman’s spoof of country star Lee Greenwood’s patriotic anthem “God Bless the USA,” in which Offerman tried to convince us that former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance are “fucking weird.”

“So I’m proud to be a Kamala man, who has quit the GOP, because I can’t just abide by a man who’s tried for 34 felonies,” Offerman sang as he strummed a guitar. “And I’ll proudly stand up and face the facts that the men that I once cheered are a bunch of wingnut white nationalists… Well, those guys are fucking weird.”

Smearing their political opponents as white nationalists is old hat for the desperate Left, but labeling Trump and Vance as “weird” is clearly the new narrative agreed upon by the Harris/Walz handlers and the colluding news media. This is a strange choice for a Party that supports Drag Queen Story Hours, sexual mutilation surgery for children, and male fighters in women’s boxing, until you realize that the its use of the word “weird” is signaling two things to Party members: one, that Republicans are not part of the Democrat “cool club,” and two, that the “queering” of America has successfully inverted everything normal into the abnormal.

Dishonorable mentions among the presentations include Ben Stiller saying nothing funny, but making the weird quip that all white Jews like himself secretly want to be black. He also asserted that Kamala has his vote because she “is gonna fight for a woman’s right to choose. That’s so important. I have a 22-year-old daughter, who I know that’s so important to.” So, Stiller wants to help his daughter keep her career and relationship options open by supporting her right to commit infanticide – that’s great parenting, Ben.

Longtime Trump rival Rosie O’Donnell also naturally made an appearance. She gushed that she had bought 100 Kamala t-shirts and vowed not to take them off until Harris “is in that White House.” These are the people who think JD Vance is weird.

More than 160,000 people reportedly tuned in to the Zoom event. Most came just for the free potential laughs, apparently, because a paltry 10,000 viewers – or 6.5% – ended up actually chipping in for the Harris campaign. The event raised a tepid $550,000 with an average donation of $55, according to organizers – far less than the $4 million raised in the recent White Dudes for Harris estrogen-fest, also held on Zoom. Stiller reportedly made a whopping $150,000 contribution – it’s unclear whether that figure was factored into the total raised by Comics for Kamala. If so, then his share alone amounts to more than a quarter of the haul.

The only lesson to be drawn from this would-be extravaganza is that a Kamala Harris/Tim Walz White House ticket is no laughing matter. Indeed, the biggest joke of the entire affair is still Eric Swalwell.
