swordfish Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Scandal Behind the Cackle https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13659413/kamala-harris-biden-trump-nomination.html Vice President Kamala Harris's ex-lover has a bright idea. Why wait for 2024? Kamala should be president – right now! Former San Francisco mayor and notorious playboy, Willie Brown, 90, who is 31 years Harris's senior and dated her in the 1990s, summoned local reporters for an impromptu news conference on Sunday. Speaking outside John's Grill, where he holds court with the city's political elite, just moments after President Joe Biden's surprise announcement that he'd suspended his campaign, Brown told journalists that the president shouldn't just cede the Democratic nomination to Kamala, but he should make her commander-in-chief immediately. '[Harris's] chances go up if [Biden] would at this moment say not only am I no longer the candidate, I'm no longer the president — she is,' Brown said. Sounding more like a doting teacher than a past lover, he heaped praise on Harris, telling The San Francisco Chronicle: 'In all the jobs she's had… she's always been outstanding.' It's a sharp change of tune from Brown, who advised Harris in 2020 to turn down Biden's invitation to be his running mate, telling her the second seat was a 'dead end'. But his about-face is in line with a general shift that's now underway in the Democratic party – as left-wing political operators and a sympathetic media desperately rush to rehabilitate Harris's image in the hope that she can take on and beat former President Donald Trump. In April, talk-show host Drew Barrymore heaped praise on our Vice President, cringingly christening her 'Momala' and saying, 'I've been thinking that we all need a tremendous hug in the world now, but in our country, we need you to be Momala of the country.' The big question now is if Democrats can paint Harris, who has a dismal favorability rating to match Biden's (39 percent), as a competent, inspiring and principled leader. A closer look behind Harris's career – dogged by allegations of hypocrisy and dishonesty – suggests that such a rebrand may be an insurmountable task. Even her earliest days in politics were tarnished by scandal. In 1994, Harris was a 29-year-old rising star in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office when she struck up a relationship with Brown – the then 60-year-old speaker of the state Assembly and one of the most powerful men in California. Brown – who was once dubbed the 'Real Slick Willy' by former president and serial-philander Bill Clinton – was still legally married to his wife Blanche Vitero at the time, but they had separated years prior. He was notorious for his love of sports cars, flashy designer suits and for being named one of the world's ten sexiest men by Playgirl magazine in 1984. 'He'll go to a party with his wife on one arm and his girlfriend on the other,' James Richardson, a reporter for the Sacramento Bee, told People Magazine in 1996. Kamala has strenusouly denied that her relationship with Brown – which ended in 1995 before he was elected mayor of San Francisco – was a defining step in her political career. In 2003, she described the romance as 'an albatross hanging around my neck'. But Brown hasn't been much help to Harris in dispelling the dirty rumors. In an embarassing 2019 op-ed for the San Francisco Chronicle, he proudly proclaimed: 'Sure, I dated Kamala Harris. So what?' Most daming, he also conceded in the article that he 'certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco'. After winning that 2003 DA campaign, Harris's political star began to rise in earnest, as she asserted herself as the stony face of 'law and order' – a far cry from her latest, softer 'Momala' iteration. As San Fran's district attorney, her office introduced a controversial anti-truancy program that targeted parents of children who skipped school, threatening them with prosecution and fines. Under the program, in 2013, local mom Cheree Peoples was arrested and handcuffed over her daughter's school attendance record. It later emerged that Cheree's child had been missing school because she had a serious genetic condition that required frequent hospitalization. Harris's office also fought to keep inmates in jail even after the US Supreme Court found that overcrowding in California prisons had become so serious it amounted to unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment. But as the seasons changed, so did Kamala's priorities – with many of her more hardline views shifting dramatically over the years to become increasignly socially liberal. The best example is her 'evolving' stance on marijuana. As San Francisco's district attorney, her prosecutors convicted more than 1,900 people for weed violations. Snap forward to this March and Camelon Kamala couldn't be more different, repeatedly stating: 'Nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed.' Another striking example of Harris's perceived political opportunism came when she attacked Biden during a televised Democratic primary debate in 2019. At the time, both were vying to be the party nominee for the 2020 election. Harris came out swinging – appearing to blindside Biden over his work with former segregationist Senators and for his one-time opposition to a federal busing program that aimed to integrate minority school children into high-performing majority-white schools. 'There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day,' Harris told Biden, 'That little girl was me.' After Kamala's own campaign collapsed, she joined Biden's ticket as his running mate – and all such animosity was conveniently forgotten. But, earlier this year, insiders told DailyMail.com that Jill Biden still held a grudge against Harris for her treatment of Joe during that 2019 TV debate, reportedely privately fuming that Harris should 'Go f*** yourself'. '[Jill] doesn't let things go and she has never forgiven Kamala for comments that some took to be allegations of racism,' the source said, 'Jill was trying to stop Kamala joining the Biden ticket in 2020.' Once in the White House, Harris's competence in office has also become a target for critics. In March 2021, Biden placed Harris in charge of addressing the 'root causes' of migration into the US, with the aim of 'stemming the migration to our southern border.' Her role led to one of the most widely derided moments of her career: an NBC interview in which she admitted she had never actually visited the border. When asked why she hadn't been, she panicked: 'I haven't been to Europe. I mean, I don't understand the point that you're making.' Jill reportedly privately fumed that Harris should 'Go f--- yourself' after the debate and the feud was reportedly part of the reason Jill didn't want her husband to step aside as candidate, because she couldn't bear the thought of Harris taking his place The illegal immigration issue subsequently exploded into an abject crisis. Under the Biden-Harris administration, some 10 million migrants have crossed from Mexico into America, leaving Democrat lawmakers no option but to reinstitute strict policies enacted by the Trump administration. Meanwhile, White House staff have left Harris's office in droves, with 13 staffers quitting in just a few months between 2021 and 2022. The mass departures have fueled claims that Harris is an office 'bully' with a 'soul-destroying' management style. More than anything, her communication style has attracted the most negative attention. She has become known for her 'word salad' public appearances, during which she deploys jumbled and repetitive phrases to convey seemingly simple ideas. In August last year, she emphasized to reporters that 'community banks are in the community' and that investing in them is therefore good for 'the community.' During a visit to a children's hospital in May, she said: 'We all believe that when we talk about the children of the community, they are children of the community.' Then there's perhaps her best-known soundbite, which she may never live down, made during a White House event last year. Quoting her mother, Harris said: 'You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.' Fans and critics alike have since shared the clip, poking fun at the seemingly nonsensical turn of phrase. Whatever the intended meaning of her coconut quote, one part of it rang painfully true: Harris does exist in the context of what came before her, and while she and her allies now attempt a rebrand, she may find her past is not so easily left behind.

BTF Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 The race ended during her speech about a half hour ago........not that she was ever in the race. Right after stating that she would unify the country, she went on a Trump smear campaign. She just insulted 80 million voters. Just when I thought this woman couldn't get any dumber.............. I really do hope she hinges her campaign on being vice president when her administration "created" 15 million "new" jobs. Sad how stupid she views Americans, especially Democrat voters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muda69 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Indiana's Democratic delegates unanimously endorse Kamala Harris. What it means: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/22/indiana-democratic-delegates-endorse-kamala-harris-president-after-joe-biden-withdraws/74506059007/ Quote Indiana's 88 Democratic delegates joined a majority of their counterparts across the country Monday evening in endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as she seeks to quickly consolidate support to replace President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket. Hoosier Blythe Potter, a Democratic delegate running for Johnson County Council, said after the vote that she's excited by the energy she's seen since Biden’s withdrawal from the race and subsequent endorsement of Harris on Sunday. "Men have been running the show for eternity," Potter said. "It is our turn as women, as the majority of the population." The 88 delegates were initially pledged to Biden, who won Indiana's primary. It's unclear if Harris will be the only presidential candidate to emerge before the Democratic National Convention, and state Democratic spokesperson Sam Barloga said the delegates remain technically unpledged until the DNC gives guidance on the formal nominating process. ....

The Democrats are about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. How they managed to lose an election to an impeached former President who was also a convicted felon is the stuff of political legend. Given the stakes, this might be the greatest organizational failure in recorded history. Perhaps this will be the impetus to sweep out the political hacks that form their leadership, and get some people in there who are actually in touch with the American people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice impeached, twice acquitted..... Wrongfully convicted on newly created/modified laws by a left-wing NY DA when even the Biden appointed AG wouldn't prosecute that will certainly be overturned on appeal. Things Americans know.....

Smart people fact check and look straight through all the b***s*** that we're fed on television..................and it drives the media nuts that we're not as dumb as they think we are. Game over.
