Kamala Harris for Pres

[LogGrad98]

It is mind-boggling how much of the country has fallen under Trump's spell. They ignore LOADS of verified evidence of multitudes of ****** things for a president to do, all across the spectrum of unethical to illegal and everything in between. But they worry that Kamala might want to put checks on social media, like @fishonjazz stated above. To me it just says that a large swath of the population was ready to rebel against the "woke agenda", as they see it. They felt they didn't have a champion in continuing to hate the gays and the immigrants and the blacks, and now that they have one, they latched on like a baby kangaroo hanging from the teat sucking up any diseased milk it gives off.

I actually alluded to this scenario a couple of years ago, that this is one giant extinction burst, in behavioral modification parlance, but one that could tear the country apart as we move into an era of actual equality for everyone. But a big chunk want to keep themselves more equal than the others, and they are fighting tooth and nail to keep the status quo. Like the people who tried to force Rosa Parks off the bus or block those black kids from going to college. But this is on a grander scale with much more insidious and devious methods.

I really wonder just how far from civil war we actually are. I think it is loser than anyone cares to admit. I think Trump losing is the best thing for the country, but could also be the impetus for a civil war for the Trump factions to try to install the government of Gilead.

Absolutely shocking that those who call themselves religious and followers of Jesus are leading the charge. So much for charity and loving your fellow man and "love thy neighbor as thyself", to say nothing of "turn the other cheek". I have become completely disillusioned with Christianity in any form through all this. No way any of it is real when it can so easily be twisted to serve the will of evil men. Of course we already had centuries of men doing exactly that, but that is a moot point right now.

I wish I could fast-forward to the Star Trek universe we are hopefully headed for.

Ya and in regards to him saying Kamala will be a dictator its interesting to see how each responded to lock them up chants. trumps crowds chant lock her up. He tells his supporters he will lock her up. Kamala crowds chant lock him up. She says "that has nothing to do with me. The courts will handle all that"

trump says he will be a dictator on day one.
trump tries to bash the media constantly to get us to distrust everything but him.
trump fires those who disagree with him.
trump tries to overturn elections and tries to get us to distrust the election process.
trump blackmails/extorts foreign leaders to try to get them to investigate his political opponents.
trump praises Putin, Kim Jeong Un, Vicktor Orban, Xi.

trump shared a post that depicted various people including Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Kamala Harris, Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates in jumpsuits. He shared a post to his followers that said that the House committee that investigated the January 6th attack on the Capitol should be indicted for sedition. And he said that there should be public military tribunals against former President Barack Obama without explaining what for.
Richard Painter, who was a White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, likened the comments to a vision of President Vladimir Putin's Russia, where Putin's political opponents end up behind bars on charges such as "extremism" or "treason" after criticizing his regime.
The former president has previously suggested prosecuting his rivals would be legitimate revenge for his own legal troubles, which include one criminal conviction in New York state court and three other criminal cases.

Painter said that argument ignores some stark differences between Trump's own situation and what he is threatening to do.
Robert Gordon, a Stanford law professor, said even though Trump is "given to bluff and bluster," there is good reason to believe he means it when he says he will use the legal system to get revenge. Gordon noted that Trump tried to get the FBI and Justice Department to investigate and prosecute rivals during his first term. That broke with post-Watergate norms for keeping law enforcement investigations independent from the White House.

For instance, according to the Mueller report, Trump's first attorney general, Jeff Sessions, told federal prosecutors Trump asked him to reverse his decision to recuse himself from presidential campaign-related investigations and direct the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute Hillary Clinton around the summer of 2017.
In the spring of 2018, Trump also told White House counsel Donald F. McGahn II he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute both Hillary Clinton and James Comey, the former FBI director whom Trump had already fired during an investigation into Russian interference to help Trump in the 2016 US presidential election, according to the New York Times. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo warning Trump that if he ordered law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could be impeached.

After the March, 2019 release of the Mueller report, which looked at Russian interference in the 2016 election, Trump also called for federal officials to "investigate the investigators." Bill Barr, Trump's chosen attorney general after Sessions, later appointed special counsel John Durham to do just that.

"He made clear his position that as head of the executive branch, he has both the power and right to direct federal criminal justice enforcement at any targets he chooses; and does not respect the 'independence' of the Attorney General and of US Attorneys," Gordon told USA TODAY in an email.

Amanda Carpenter, a former staffer to Republican Sens. Jim DeMint and Ted Cruz, who now works for Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan nonprofit, told USA TODAY it will be easier for Trump to get underlings to go through with a prosecution − even without strong evidence − because checks on the president's power will be weaker.

"The prosecution he's threatening against people who challenge his authority is based on smears, conspiracies, and lies, and that is why, when he has gone to court for those election lies in the aftermath of the 2020 election, his claims are rejected again and again," she said.

Carpenter noted plans from Trump allies to erode Justice Department independence along with the Supreme Court's July 1 presidential immunity decision and the dwindling number of congressional Republicans who supported Trump's Jan. 6-related impeachment.

"Trump and his allies have spent their time out of office creating plans to systematically gut the checks and balances that stopped him from excessive law breaking in his first term," Carpenter said.

During Trump's first term, appointees from the Republican establishment slowed or blocked some of Trump's efforts to test or break legal boundaries.

Bill Barr, for instance, told CNN's Kaitlan Collins in an April interview that Trump "would lose his temper" and say that people he was upset with should be executed. "At the end of the day it wouldn't be carried out and you could talk sense into him," Barr said.

Vice President Mike Pence resisted Trump's multi-week campaign to get him to reverse the results of the 2020 election during Pence's constitutional role in counting the electoral votes.

Trump advisors and former aides have said that he will prioritize personal loyalty and commitment to his agenda in choosing appointees to his next administration.

One such person has already been chosen: Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance, who has said he wouldn't have certified the 2020 presidential election results, unlike Pence.


But Kamala wants social media to not allow children to be bullied to the point of committing suicide or something. Oh noes!

Fantastic ****ing post fish.

I was curious of Harris net worth so I looked it up.

The vice president’s net worth is currently valued at around $8 million, according to Forbes.
Much of her value stems from real estate and government pensions, according to Forbes.

A home in Brentwood, California, owned by Harris and husband Doug Emhoff, has a current value of $4.4 million, but the couple still owes on the residence, Forbes reported.
The 3,500-square-foot four-bedroom home is located less than a mile from the Sunset Strip and is the only piece of real estate known to be owned by Harris and Emhoff.

Harris sold her apartment in Washington, D.C., and in San Francisco in 2021. The San Francisco apartment sold for $860,000, according to financial disclosures. According to Forbes, Harris purchased the apartment for $489,000 in 2004.

Harris, who earns around $235,000 annually as vice president, has about $1 million in state, local and federal pensions, Forbes estimates. Other aspects of her wealth come from retirement accounts, investments and Emhoff’s 401K account.

According to Forbes, Harris made the most on her books in 2021, when she collected $450,000, which was $100,000 more than the previous year. She only made $80,000 on the books in 2022, according to Forbes, and $8,500 in 2023.


Trump was worth about $4 billion as of Sept. 9, according to Forbes.
Overall, Trump’s wealth can be attributed to his Truth Social parent company, his real estate holdings, clubs and resources and other holdings.

Any flaw Harris has pales in comparison to her opponent's.

I also think that many Americans dont believe trumps flaws. They see flaw after flaw after flaw and just fake news those flaws away.
Any and every flaw they see, read or hear about Harris they automatically believe. Plus she is a woman and a person of color and trump is a white dude. Sadly I think that matters.

I definitely think a “sunk cost” mentality is taking a toll on a lot of Americans. Deep down they know Trump is awful. But they can’t admit now that they were wrong. You see it all the time, especially on this board. If you justified, “grab em by the *****” you can easily justify everything that came after. And even if you don’t want to, the desire to save face and not admit that the tribe you hate more than life itself was right about Trump, is just too strong.

People are suffering because of Trump and Vance’s lies. This is the real grooming. This is far worse than a student reading a history book or a book with a rainbow cover.

She actually is acting like a dictator. She wants to sensor social media, She had to be forced at the 11th hour by the courts to release evidence that would free an innocent man from death row because she refused to release said evidence, she convicted more pot users and aggressively putting them in jail than anyone else in cal. And now says she supports legalizing the drug. I’m not some big time right wing. I didn’t vote Trump 4 years ago because I thought Trump was the kind of person we don’t need in office. I’ve now learned your not voting for a person but for policy, and at this point, I have no idea what Kamala Harris‘s policies are other than far left ringing crazy stuff and her track record as being one of the worst VPs of all time.

What is this nonsense? Is this supposed to make sense? Copying and pasting some context free Facebook post isn’t going to persuade someone like me who has multiple advanced degrees and works in higher education. Sure, it might work with your high school dropout loser friend who’s addicted to meth and has 5 children with 3 different women. But not with educated and cultured people like me. Some of us still read newspapers and non-fiction books and understand a little bit about the world around them. Your post is just too online and too stupid for me to really care much about other than to take 5 minutes to belittle you so you don’t tag me in any more of your posts.

As I’ve said before, people who support Trump are dumber than rocks and/or ****** people.

Threatening governors to kiss the ring or else lose federal funding and resources isn’t something new. He did this during his first term. He’s just more explicit about it now. This is something that dictators do. Imagine the bitching from Fox News if Biden or future president Harris were to do this to Ron DeSantis after a hurricane or with a host of Bible Belt taker states that rely on welfare from blue producer states. In a way, it would be kinda funny to see dumps like Mississippi having to pick themselves up by their own bootstraps rather than rely on other states to constantly bail them out.

The key here is BLACK. Don Jr is pretty clear in what this is about. As is JD Vance, who’s borrowing the Nazi excuse to mistreat others for having “communicable diseases. Suddenly MAGA cares about that? Maybe they should try getting vaccinated…. And we all know what “import the third world” means. This is neo-Nazi/confederate rhetoric.
