I don't know a lot about her yet. I recall that she is no fan of the 2A.

I want to see this cat fight settled cage match style.  Harris, Warren and Clinton.  3 communists enter,  one leaves.  Survivor gets curb stomped by Trump.

I hear she's a big fan of civil asset forfeiture.

Former Commiefornya Attorney General.  Before that she infested San Francisco.  D. A.  Or something like that.  Big time super liberal,  "Flaming Liberal" in old Frisco vernacular. 

She'd be a disaster as president.   I wouldn't elect her dogcatcher.

Poontronage is the turn of phrase I saw coined somewhere for how she made it in politics. And Trump is just the right guy to point that out.

Because what this country needs is for the federal government to follow the path blazed by California!

She was Willie Browns close protege, very close.



For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I had a real fear that she would make significant headway and be the dem pick, but her soundbytes over the last year truly emphasize "clueless moron".

She got a lot - a LOT - of slack here in CA for all her dumb stuff because of the CA demographics. I'm not sure how well her liberal arrogance will fly on a national level in much of the rest of the country, including with moderate dems.

Harris has never known anything but softball reporting in CA in every office she has held, nor has she worked with anything but a large dem majority in state government. The "How can we ever thank you for existing?" media questions may not be so forthcoming on the national level, especially with some new media darlings in the dem primary list.

Though of note, CNN seems to have already anointed her. She is the first one they have arranged a town hall with, and did so like 17 seconds after she announced.

On the heels of yesterday’s announcement that she would be running for president, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) reportedly began staffing her campaign Tuesday with unpaid inmates from California correctional facilities. “I’m so grateful to have such an incredible and devoted team headed up by my new campaign manager, Spider, as we work together to fight for American values,” said Harris of the two dozen non-violent criminal offenders who would reportedly work shifts of up to 72 hours out of her campaign office in exchange for three square meals a day and all the “Kamala Harris 2020” merchandise they could carry.

How about a screen saver of her dancing as she spouts drivel … the right person could be selling/sharing those by the weekend …  [popcorn]

Then maybe I'm slow, which is likely, puzzled about your post.

I believe the Simpsons did a Barbie Doll knock-off where the doll would say a bunch of non-PC sexist drivel.  That coming from an Ocasio-Cortex doll would be funny.



You just know her campaign paid for this crap, but some people to get into hero worship far too easily.  

However, considering their is a Mueller action figure, I can only imagine there is some small time outfit trying to market some of these stuff? 


Maybe someone like the South Park guys can use them to make a new movie.   =D

So it appears she has come out with a main campaign message of "eliminating all private health insurance". When asked if she would still allow people to have private insurance if they want it, the answer was "no".

I'm not totally familiar with various European models, but I think in most countries there, if you have the dough, you can still have private insurance. Is that correct? If so, then she is heading "Venezuela left" vs "UK left".

Edit: Another tidbit from her CNN Town Hall. "Ban all assault weapons". Just in case anyone thought she would tone down the California-centric message on the national stage.

Her response is a great example of the cake analogy.
