The hard-left Democrats have succeeded in usurping free and fair elections in order to impose their totalitarian ideology.
7 Key Observations About The Choice Of Kamala Harris
This is going to be the Harris Administration with Joe Biden as a figurehead
By Ben Domenech 12, 2020
Story continues below advertisementAfter all that, Joe Biden went with the obvious choice, one Democrats believe to be “safe”, but also one that brings a number of red flags which will be dutifully ignored by the press. Why does Kamala Harris start so good but wear so poorly? The phrase used for her by one Democratic commentator to me was that “she’s great for the first fifteen minutes”, by another that “you love her on the first date, you like her on the second, on the third you’re done.” That definitely happened for Democratic voters in the primary. We’ll see if it repeats. As of this morning, a few thoughts:
1. This is going to be the Harris Administration with Joe as a figurehead. That is not an exaggeration. Biden chose the most ambitious potential partner, who arrives on the ship and announces “I am the captain now”. She is also the least likely to be a good governing partner who doesn’t want to replace him as soon as possible. This was the whole reason Biden’s inner circle was wary of her. Already both CNN and Vox have run pieces implying heavily it’s an indication Biden will only serve one term. Who will be the first New York Times columnist to call for 25th Amendmenting Joe Biden to replace him with Kamala? In the interim, will she even let Joe do X, Y, or Z, say on fracking or guns or another issue where they part ways? We’ll see.
2. Harris is known for her overly sensitive media team who are thin-skinned and do not have a reputation for dealing well with criticism. Some literally call them “The K-Hive” in California. Monitoring the interactions between corporate media should prove interesting. They will try very hard to sell her, but there’s going to be a lot of gritted teeth and behind the scenes arguments over the smallest critiques. Just remember how much her campaign was hampered by Twitter.
3. As part of said selling, expect a major effort to make Kamala seem “cool” – Maya Rudolph will be a big part of this but also a raft of California celebrities. Kamala is more tolerable than some VP possibilities (I would personally drink with her before Warren or Whitmer), but she is actually painfully inauthentic and scripted. When she goes off-script is when things go really bad, and while you can mostly stay on script in the era of Zoom campaigns, this will be most significant in a debate, where she proved she only really works well when working from a script.
4. Harris is perhaps the most anti-religious freedom candidate on a major party ticket in the modern era. There are numerous examples of this, and it was the actual inception of the beef with Tulsi, after Harris threatened what amounts to a religious test to block members of the Knights of Columbus from the courts. Expect a major storyline on the right to be her antagonism of religious organizations, particularly Catholic ones, in multiple incidents. We’re well beyond suing the Little Sisters of the Poor.
5. A touchy debate will play out on black Twitter and Reddit about whether Kamala qualifies as sufficiently black, because she is Jamaican and Indian. It has already begun. Expect this to become a touchy subject that will lead to pieces in The Atlantic and NYT that are handwringing and uncomfortable.
6. Who is not high on Kamala? Young voters, for one: how will college age voters react to this choice, especially if they are in the Sanders wing, which finds Kamala terrible? What about Hispanic voters, who could potentially have problems with her past activities in California and on Catholic issues? How about pro-marijuana voters? There are a number of traditional Democratic coalition members who may not like her.
7. What about the authoritarianism? One interesting line of thought concerns the “Kamala is a Cop” meme, which served during the primary as a stand-in for her status as a leftist authoritarian law and order type. You might think that would help her in a general election, and I certainly think there’s an element of truth to that. But there is also a sizable portion of the Democratic electorate that is supportive of defunding the police (as much as 48 percent in a Politico poll from late June), and for them (again, overwhelmingly younger voters) Kamala’s role as an authoritarian and a hypocrite on these issues is going to undermine an already weak base for Biden among those voters.
When I interviewed Katie Herzog last week, she singled out Kamala as the person who worried her the most as a vice presidential choice given her reputation as a Leftist authoritarian type. If you are an anti-war pro-pot Bernie Sanders-liking class warrior type, Kamala does nothing for you. Biden is counting on Trump and the SNL/Maya Rudolph pro-Kamala celebrity contingent to make young voters come out for him. But he’s shown no strength among them in the past, and the pandemic creates new challenges for Democrats who cannot organize in a traditional manner in college towns in the coronavirus era.
What I hate about the choice is that Kamala Harris would be a terrible vice president and represents a takeover of the potential Biden administration before it even arrives. She is a “moderate” only in tone, not in position, and according to DW Nominate she is the second-farthest left Senator in voting record. What I like about the choice is that Kamala Harris is a good representation of where the Democratic Party is today: a West Coast elitist, a darling of Big Tech, whose aggressive wokeness does not speak softly and does carry a big stick. I appreciate the clarity.

I think it will actually be the Harris campaign by September. Joe’s mystery illness will show up soon.

Not that soon – if they actually pull this off he will be around in one form or another for awhile – but for sure the rats are banking on the end game.I don’t see how anyone could possibly think having KH as Pres would actually be beneficial – but when did ” beneficial ” actually come to demorats minds –

I do not believe that Biden will even have an inauguration, he will either step down for health reasons, or die. This is an end run to get a woman president of “color”

Senate Adjourns Until September, Relief Now Falls to Trump’s Executive Orders

The Democrats would not budge on fat-cat spending on shhthole cities, and now poor Nancy feels abandoned.
“If the speaker of the House and the Minority Leader of the Senate decide to finally let another package move forward for workers and for families, it would take bipartisan consent to meet for legislative business sooner than scheduled,” McConnell stated… Sticking points include providing $1 trillion for state and city governments as well as providing billions of dollars to the U.S. Postal Service and election infrastructure. Trump on Thursday morning told Fox News that it is an attempt to rig the upcoming election…
‘You would think they’d have a little sensitivity, but so obsessed are they to undermine absentee voting that this is their connection there,’ Pelosi said…
Over the past weekend, Trump took executive action to provide expanded unemployment payments of $400 per week, defer student loan payments, a moratorium on evictions, and temporarily suspend payroll taxes.”

umm traditionally “arkanicides” are marked by such logical fallacies as “two bullets to the head” as a cause of death with often the right arm being used in a left handed person or a fractured hyoid bone and bruised larynx in someone committing “self asphyxiation”. Or healthy people suddenly dropping dead from supposed heart attacks with no PM evidence of cause or mysteriously killed in bizarre road accidents. You have to admit that their repertoire is somewhat limited and their actors not that competent but hey! Who cares? So long as they remove another voice..Remember Stalin’s dictum: “remove the person and you remove the problem”

I think he will be around for a bit longer – but i have a hunch the rats have that as a frontal thought – and they want a swamp rat as well – Never mind qualifications – Qualifications? we don’t need no stinking qualifications !

There is something about this team of China Joe and Kamel Toe that makes my skin crawl. There’s something creepy about both of them.
I can’t stop about his behavior with girls and his rampant corruption; I cannot get out of my mind how she viciously attacked Kavanaugh with an unrelenting assault of lies. I can’t stop wondering how many abortions she had.
It is important that she has no children of her own. It’s important for a leader to have children, to have that life experience to relate to families, to have a stake in the future. She is only recently married to a divorcee and has no children of her own. It is significant.

Notice how the fawning press cannot stop heaping praise on both of them; quite a contrast to the unrelenting attacks on our GREAT President.
I couldn’t believe the disrespectful manner in which the DemoNazi propaganda Machine treats our President. One yesterday, had the audacity to ask him straight out, will you continue lying to the American people? I couldn’t believe my ears! What scum! He should never be let back in. So disrespectful.
It is unbelievable what President Trump has had to put up with. There is no question that a Marxists insurrection is occurring right now.

The Democrats need chaos so they can install martial law. Don’t be surprised if you see Chinese troops in the streets being used to make it happen. The Democrats would need them as American military would not support this against their own people. Back in the early 1990s a USMC officer was doing a Master Degree. He posed this question at 29 Palms to Marines as part of it, “The government has banned the private ownership of firearms. American citizens have refused to surrender their weapons. If ordered to confiscate weapons owned by civilians would you do it?” The response was NO! Bill Clinton handed the Long Beach Naval Ship Yard to China and it would be an ideal port to bring in Chinese troops via container ships. They could also be moved by rail around the country. Having no connection to constitutional government they would have no fear of using force against Americans. Consider “operation Pelican.” Obama handed Port Canaveral to a middle eastern company with terrorist connections and more recently Wilmington, DE was added to their list.

I worked in LBNS up until they closed it – We were the only Government yard that got projects done under budget and ahead of time and turned money back into the clowns so the could pi– it away elsewhere – THATS when i really started paying more attention to politics – There were buildings in that yard that were on the National Historic Record – and they plowed them under to build the biggest container lot on the west coast – Pathetic – wonder how much the commie rats stuffed in slick willies pockets to allow that to happen –

It’s no surprise to see a spawn of ingrate immigrants who never should have been invited in mixing up their Third World gene pools via Africa by way of the Caribbean and the bottom of the Irrawaddy River in the septic tank of Asia to rise up in insane Stockholm Syndrome hatred and resentment of the country that extended her mercy and salvation.

Anchor baby Kamala Harris is NOT constitutionally eligible to be president or vice president! Her parents were not citizens! One of the Requirements to be President ..”Natural Born Citizen” (Mother/Father both Americans) According to Article II, Section I, Clause 5 of the U. S. Constitution.

If this is correct — and I believe it is — it should be repeated endlessly until this b–ch is dead.

These foolish “democratic” communist traitors act as if they do not know that there are at least 15 million well armed real Americans out here who detest them and who would like nothing better than a good excuse.

Not true, of course, but even if so, that’s a GOOD thing. Mamala Kamala is smart, honest, and tough. She doesn’t take any guff. She would be a GREAT President.
And, even if true, how is that any different than the recent and disastrous Cheney administration, with Dubya acting as Bush-dynasty figurehead? C’mon, if you’re going to condemn that type of arrangement as non-kosher, at least be consistent.
