In before sarcles starts his tiresome whining.
Wants To Be President
That begs the question: why isn't she president yet? Biden is infirm and incapable of holding the office, but Democrats haven't lifted a finger to replace him with Harris. Isn't she a super-capable rock star and the most qualified candidate ever?
Isn’t there something with a few states that if he is removed she doesn’t get the delegates?
I’m really not sure.
I don't see how removing him from office affects the ticket at this point. It's not like it's the Biden/Harris/Walz candidacy.
Biden and his family clearly didn't want to quit the race. High-level Dems had to twist his arm.
Maybe the threat went something like "You can either exit the race and serve out the remainder of your term, or we'll explore options to remove you from office ASAP."
Plus Harris spending the first months of her Presidency on the campaign trail would be strange.
Pelosi "I didn't call anyone but that didn't sound like Joe".
Attention butthurt MAGAts. Upset that God's Own Girl-bullier is lewsing to a gurrrrl? Yuuuge leftover stocks of Dr Trump's Butthurt Salve can be had at a special discount by entering the code JZSCAUCASIAN at MAGAt.org
I understand if Reason writers are disappointed Campaign Mode Kamala has to pretend she wants to secure the border. 🙁
That's just politics though. Face it: the Koch / Reason open borders agenda is absolutely toxic with regular voters. Of course she has to lie.
If Kamala can't win the strategic and reluctant Reason vote she's doomed.
If this is how a border czar defends the border, no wonder the Russian czars got overthrown by commies.
They've got it figured out this time by making the commie the czar.
Ackshully there was nothing wrong with the LP borders plank before anarco-communists got Tom Knapp to front for them and hack the plank into a way to facilitate importing terrists wired to explode. The anarco-fascist Jesus movement to reenslave women under Comstockism is simply icing on the voter-alienating turd sandwich. https://libertariantranslator.wordpress.com/2019/01/11/infiltration-and-sabotage/
According to the Fourth Estate, she is the anointed one; nothing else matters as Trump must be defeated BAMN.
"Kamala Harris Is a Cop Who Wants To Be President."
You misspelled "cunt."
Aren’t they the same thing?
At least she would follow the Constitution, unlike Trump.
You mean like Biden followed the Constitution around the White House, yelling "bad dog!"?
Is withholding exculpatory evidence following the Constitution?
Like Biden did with the student loans?
Wasn't it her checkered history as a prosecutor that Tulsi Gabbard focused on when she torpedoed Harris' chances in the 2020 primaries?
Bad news for Harris, since she doesn't have any notable achievements as VP or in the Senate. She seems to be campaigning as the prosecutor who knows how to beat the felon Trump. Hopefully she won't withhold evidence this time.
Is withholding evidence a felony?
This is awful. First Grey Stalin hired that GURRRL to give actual elected officials priority with the Secret Service--convicted girl-bullying felons not so much. Next thing ya know Donnie's walkin' around with a pierced ear. NOW this former cop and democratically elected GURRRL candidate is more likely to arrest convicted felons, wife-beaters and Texans bounty-hunting pregnant females for Grand Goblin Greg's human-trafficking rewards program than to bust potheads and NY Times cocaine naygurs. It ain't fair!
And whuzzis about Arizona putting individual rights for wymin in the Constitution, with 200,000 signatures over the requirement on the ballot? What would Anthony Comstock say? What about the NY Society for the Supression of Vice? Long Dong? Palito? KK, Mutterkreus Mom and Gorby?
