Harris for President

How did she earn it?


By her career, having held multiple elected offices, and by serving as Vice President.

 

Furthermore, voters in 2020 were fully aware of the strong possibility that Harris would succeed to the Presidency, either after Biden became incapacitated or as her party's 2024 nominee (remember that Biden originally said he would be a one-term President). So their votes for Biden were votes for her as well.

 

Jerry, you really need to let go of your race hatred and misogyny. They cloud your judgment.

But you told us all that Biden was doing just dandy.  

 

She's a hack.

She's a n***** and a WOOMUN. Much too much for you to handle.

 

I never said any such thing BTW, but you already know that.

How can you honestly say that you weren't a big fan of Biden even like 3 months ago?  You have lying down to a work of art.  

 

And Kamala is a hack.  Has nothing to do with her being black or a woman.  It wouldn't with Joe and it doesn't with Trump either if those two were black or a woman.  They are simply three buffoons.   


I try to ignore kevin's ignorant statements, but I can't resist this one.

 

Wars in Europe and Asia are not the concern of the President, as US forces are not involved.

 

kevin once agin demonstrates how stupid he is.  What is harris' policy on this?  She didn't bother to do her duty and preside over the joint session of Congress when Netanayu gave his address.

 

As the leader of the free world, wars are the concern of the US & we have treaty obligations.  Stupid kevin was in favor of sending arms to the Ukraine & Israel, but now he isn't?

 

US troops are involved.

 

The US now has over 100,000 troops in Europe, the highest in almsot 20 years.  10,500 are in Poland, which borders Ukraine.  The US is helping to train the Ukrainians & their pilots have trained in the US.  The US supplied the Ukranians on their attack into Russia.

The US has 40,000+ troops in the Middle East  as well as maintaining 1-2 carrier groups.  The soldiers have been attacked on a regular basis and have sustained casualties.

The navy has been attacked & the navy is protecting shipping.  The navy has also helped Israel fend off missile attacks.

Yo, stupid Tom:

 

The President is the Commander in Chief but does NOT have the authority to declare war or deploy US troops in order to wage war--or to assist another country in its war. THAT IS THE PURVIEW OF CONGRESS. We are not currently obligated by treaty to send troops anywhere in the world. None of our military/treaty allies have been attacked.

 

Stupid Tom!

 

The US is NOT "the leader of the free world." That title is meaningless, and all our allies would disagree. We don't lead the rest of the world around by the nose, and we don't want to.

 

Stupid Tom!

 

US troops are allowed to defend themselves if attacked. Biden leaves this task to the armed forces' regional commanders--as he should, given that that is their job.

 

Stupid Tom!

 

Tom was just bitching about how Biden supposedly isn't getting involved with conflicts overseas. Then he points out all the aid and troop deployment--being ignorant of the fact that such measures ARE THE PURVIEW OF CONGRESS. Biden CANNOT simply send troops into other countries' territory except to and from US military bases. As far as aid is concerned--THAT IS THE PURVIEW OF CONGRESS.

 

Get it, stupid Tom? Of course you don't. What a dumb fuck you are!

Since your "big fan" idiot characterization is stupidly subjective, I won't bother to refute it. You know damn well that my stance on Biden was that he was still capable of executing the duties of his office. I also said that I didn't think he was necessarily up to campaigning, but the one debate performance wasn't conclusive proof either way. I stand by those two assessments.

 

If you say that i said anything else, you're merely doing the "Jerry Lies In Order To Be an Asshole Show," and your ratings are dropping like a rock.

A black woman that is entitled for some odd reason.  


I'm not sure how these two statements align, but OK.

Well, it's not de rigeur these days to admit that you're a racist, even if you've just made several racist statements. We have quite a few racists, bigots, and misogynists here...but they would never characterize themselves as such.

 

The only reason to pay any attention at all to their bigotry is that it reflects Harris's main problem writ small. Nationwide polls have consistently shown that about 5% of the electorate would never vote for a woman for President. Now, most of them are MAGAs, of course, but not all--so that handicaps her by, say, 1-2% right there. How many voters would never vote for a black person? No poll I know of has asked that, but surely, the numbers are greater than zero--and that's an additional handicap. 

 

I've hoped that we might get beyond that shit in my lifetime, but just look at how much of the MAGA message has been to attack Harris's race and gender. Not that it's necessarily working, but throwing red meat to the base is a go-to move for them when they're floundering (and boy, are they ever floundering).

I do find the attacks on Harris for not earning it amusing.  She earned it. Exceptionally smart with a track record to prove it. She was a career prosecutor, the California AG, and a US Senator.  She was so pro-law enforcement the nickname given to her by her Democratic rivals was Kamala Cop.  

 

 

As opposed to Trump:

 

 

34 felony convictions for election fraud

Pending felony indictments in numerous jurisdictions including a new one today.

Under Investigation in Arizona for election fraud. (The likely outcome is that he will be named an unindicted co-conspirator.)

Found in a bench trial to have Committed Business Fraud.

A jury found him liable for sexually assaulting a woman. 

Admitted in a consent decree he committed charity fraud.

Filed Bankruptcy Five Times

As a business practice, he regularly didn't pay contractors because he knew they would settle for less because of the cost of collecting it through the courts. 

Incited a violent insurrection with the goal of overturning a lawful election. 

He was born on Third Base and thinks he hit a triple.

 

 

The bottom line it is a choice between a career criminal vs a career prosecutor which is an easy choice if you have any morals.
