    Yeah it's odd...people are proud of that shit. Another reason why the outrage over the Olympics opening ceremony is so hilarious to me. The "fuck your feelings" party got their feelings hurt.

    red hat = white hood
    Is there fauxrage regarding the Olympics? What is it? P-Diddy being a torch bearer? Flavour Flav being all in on water polo? Simone Biles calf strain? Caitlin Clarke not making the team? I have honestly not heard of the Olympic fauxrage. Is it snowing in oui, oui, gay paree?
    Apparently there was a lot of triggeration during the opening ceremony. I must have missed it.

    It was Snoop as the torch bearer


    A bunch of weirdos thought there was a lot of Satanic imagery during the opening ceremony.

    Well, the devil is around every corner.

    Snoop Dog and P-Diddy aren’t the same person?

    No. Snoop hangs with Martha Stewart and has managed to  attain "national treasure" status.

    P-Diddy = Sean Combs has been charged repeatedly with assault and sexual assault; there was the video earlier this year of him beating a woman in a hotel.

    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    The ones I know won't vote for tRump. Although I can't say my maga loving brother and sister in law have maga hats that I know of but they also don't have air conditioning or use a clothes dryer.

    That’s another, much nicer way of saying they want to turn the clock back to pre-civil rights act America, sure. Idk why one would extend the benefit of the doubt to trump & his cult after all we’ve seen though.

    Having actually lived back then, I can tell you not everything about the 1950s was horrible.  You could drink cool mountain fresh water right out of the creeks and streams in the Sierra Nevada mountains.  Do that today and your almost 100% guaranteed to get giardia.  The population of the U.S. was about 40% of what it is today and world population was about 1/3 what it is today.  More people than not felt safe to leave their house unlocked (up until about 1962, we only locked the house when we went on vacation for more than a day trip).  People were generally more courteous.  Concerts, movies, etc. were were so affordable, almost anyone could afford to go out and not feel the pinch.  I could go on and on.

    If we could combine those best aspects of the 1950's with the better aspects of today society, now that would be amazing.

    "Make courtesy common again" ? (I could get on board with that.)

    Sure, I get that. Do you think invoking that era the way the right has these last 10 years isn’t also a major dog whistle?

    Yeah it's odd...people are proud of that shit. Another reason why the outrage over the Olympics opening ceremony is so hilarious to me. The "fuck your feelings" party got their feelings hurt.

    red hat = white hood I hate that.  I can agree with some of the things Republicans do without being associated as a member of the clan...
    the current republican party is the maga party, so there's that.

    Flashback: Harris compared ICE to KKK, said images of Border Patrol agents ‘evoked slavery’

    Harris came under fire for both sets of comments

    Published July 29, 2024 6:36pm EDT

    Vice President Harris, both as senator and vice president, has caused controversy with Homeland Security agencies, comparing one to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), and fueling a since-discredited narrative about Border Patrol agents on horseback allegedly whipping migrants.

    ICE and KKK

    At a November 2018 confirmation hearing, then-Sen. Harris asked Ronald Vitiello, who was former President Trump’s nominee to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), if he was "aware of the perception" of parallels between ICE and the KKK.

    Harris had highlighted a tweet from Vitiello from 2015 in which he said the Democratic Party was comparable to a "neo-Klanist" entity. Vitiello apologized and admitted that those words were offensive.

    "What is the history that would then make those words wrong?" Harris asked, to which Vitiello said the KKK would be labeled as a domestic terrorist group by today’s standards and was motivated by race and ethnicity and tried to use "fear and force."

    "Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws and do you see any parallels?" she asked.

    Vitiello pushed back by saying, "I do not see any parallels" between the agency and the white supremacist group, and he asked whether she was asking him if the two were in the same category.

    "No, I'm very specific about what I'm asking you. Are you aware of a perception that the way that they ..." Harris went on before the nominee said, "I see none."

    "Are you aware that there is a perception that ICE is administering its power in a way that is causing fear and intimidation, particularly among immigrants and specifically among immigrants coming from Mexico and Central America?" she asked again.

    Harris ended her questioning by asking whether Vitiello could lead the agency if he was not aware of the negative views toward it.

    "Sir, how can you be the head of an agency and be unaware of how your agency is perceived by certain communities?" she asked.

    That sparked outrage at the time, with Republicans accusing her of making the comparison for political purposes.

    "Kamala Harris is trying to launch her 2020 campaign off of comparing ICE officers to the KKK, and it's absolutely disgusting," then-Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel tweeted.

    Border Patrol agents on horseback 

    Three years later, in 2021, Harris upset Border Patrol agents when she helped fuel a narrative about horseback agents who encountered migrants during the Haitian migrant surge in Del Rio, Texas.

    Based on images of agents using their reins to control their horses, some Democrats, including President Biden, accused agents of whipping migrants. Harris did not explicitly mention whipping, but she did pile the pressure on the agents.

    "What I saw depicted about those individuals on horseback treating human beings the way they were was horrible," Harris told reporters. "And I fully support what is happening right now, which is a thorough investigation into exactly what is going on there. But human beings should never be treated that way. And I'm deeply troubled about it. And I'll also be talking to [Homeland Security] Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas about it today."

    Her statement coincided with statements by Biden who promised "they will pay." Days later, Harris said the images evoked slavery.

    "Human beings should not be treated that way," Harris told "The View" hosts. "It also invoked images of some of the worst moments of our history, where that kind of behavior has been used against the Indigenous people of our country, it has been used against African Americans during times of slavery."

    A subsequent investigation faulted the agents for minor infractions but found the underlying claims that migrants were whipped were not true. Mayorkas, who had criticized the agents, would later go on to defend them last year when a reporter would cite the incident.

    "Well, let me just correct you right there because actually the investigation concluded that the whipping did not occur," he said.

    The comments from Harris also sparked outrage from Border Patrol agents at the time, who spoke to Fox News.

    "Again, it is clear that those in charge, a term that is disgusting to use, have no clue about our operations and frankly operate by ignorance and unhinged emotions," one said.

    Harris, however, has not backed down from her remarks on either incident.

    "The only ‘plan’ Donald Trump has to secure our border is ripping mothers from their children and a few xenophobic placards at the Republican National Convention," Harris campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said in a statement on Monday. "He tanked the bipartisan border security deal because, for Donald Trump, this has never been about solutions just running on a problem. Like everything with Donald Trump, it’s never been about helping the country, it's only about helping himself. There’s only one candidate in this race who will fight for bipartisan solutions to strengthen border security, and that’s Vice President Harris."

    Immigration will likely be a top priority for Harris if she is elected president, given the ongoing situation at the border. She was tasked with heading international diplomacy to deal with the migration crisis in 2021, which led to her being dubbed the "border czar" by Republicans and media outlets. Her campaign has said that, if elected, she will fight for solutions to strengthen the border. It has also taken aim at signs calling for mass deportations at the recent GOP convention.

    Game Change: Invigorated young Democrats give Harris slight lead over Trump

    Four-in-five believe this to be ‘one of the most important elections’ in American history


    July 29, 2024 – A whirlwind month in politics appears to have catalyzed the presidential race, with reports that Kamala Harris has the support of enough delegates to receive the Democratic nomination formally at the party’s national convention, which begins on Aug. 19. After President Joe Biden announced he would step aside, his vice president will step up and face former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump for the highest office in the nation.

    New data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds Harris energizing the Democratic campaign and entering with a slight overall advantage in vote intent. Currently 44 per cent of American registered voters say they would support her bid, a two-point edge over Trump. Key at play are racial and generational dynamics.

    The Harris vote is younger and more diverse, with a massive advantage among non-white would-be voters (56% to 25%) and those younger than 35 years of age (50% to 32%). For Trump, the white vote is stalwart in his favour, as he generates a 14-point advantage over Harris (51% to 37%). While he trails among 18- to 34-year-olds, and is tied among the 35 to 54 group, he holds an eight-point edge among those 55 years of age and older (49% to 40%).

    Aside from the battle of personalities, the vast majority of Americans (82%) say this election is one of the most important in the nation’s history, while half say is about the issues. For Harris voters this means the future of democracy, reproductive rights, and the battle against climate change. For Trump voters, priorities are the economy, inflation, and security along the southern border.

    One key priority for Harris in the coming weeks will be to galvanize voters around one of two ideas – that she is the better qualified candidate, or that she is a bulwark against a worse option. Currently, half of her supporters say they’ll vote for her because they like what she stands for, while half say they simply want to block Trump. For Trump supporters, 87 per cent say they support him because of what he stands for, a defining difference between these two similarly sized groups.

    Click below to see Key Takeaways from the data

    With one-in-ten (9%) registered voters undecided, and a further one-in-20 (5%) who say they won’t vote for either Trump or Harris, Harris begins a renewed Democratic campaign with a two-point lead over Trump.

    I’m a civil rights attorney, here’s the truth about Kamala Harris’s appalling record

    by Harmeet K. Dhillon, opinion contributor - 07/29/24 11:30 AM ET

    Vice President Kamala Harris claimed the mantle of a civil rights champion as part of her presidential campaign origin fable. But her record tells a darker tale. At every step of her career, Harris has proven that the most dangerous place for a constitutional norm to be is standing between Harris and her political ambitions. 

    Let’s start with her time as San Francisco district attorney, a position she won by running against her boss, a progressive D.A., by claiming to be a tough-on-crime prosecutor. Having fooled the voting public and secured the position, she immediately began to tack left, declaring four months into the job that she would refuse to seek the death penalty against the murderer of policeman Isaac Espinoza, who was 29, with a young family when he was gunned down in cold blood.

    Although she likes to portray herself as the “top cop” of California, cops despised her from that moment on. Harris received the dishonor of being named the “most progressive DA” in California – in other words, Kamala Harris was the most far-left prosecutor in the most liberal state. Harris’ sanctuary city policies enabled Edwin Ramos, for example, to murder a father and his two sons. 

    As D.A., Harris was the worst of both worlds: A soft-on-crime progressive prosecutor who failed to keep her city safe, and who looked the other way when it came to ethics and public integrity. In 2010, Harris’s lead drug prosecutor alerted supervisors of evidence that one of their top technicians was an unreliable witness, including a prior criminal conviction.

    Despite a binding Supreme Court case, Brady v. Maryland, mandating prosecutors turn over such information to the defense, Harris’s office concealed it. Once discovered, this flagrant constitutional violation led to the dismissal of over 600 drug cases.  

    Narrowly elected to attorney general in 2010, Harris proceeded to double down on ignoring constitutional rights when expedient. 

    In 2011, the Supreme Court ordered California to reduce its inmate population because of prison overcrowding. In 2015, after four years and two separate court orders mandating action, California was still non-compliant. During litigation leading to the second order, Harris’s deputies argued that if the state was forced to release these inmates early, prisons would lose a crucial part of its captive labor force because the prisoners earned wages between 8 and 37 cents per hour.

    They reasoned that implementing the federal court’s proposed order would “severely impact fire camp participation—a dangerous outcome while California is in the middle of a difficult fire season and severe drought.” 

    Legal scholars and commentators were astounded. Erwin Chemerinsky, now dean of UC Berkeley Law School, compared Harris’ defiance of federal court mandates to 1950s southern governors ignoring desegregation orders. The Atlantic wrote that Harris’ filings were “unworthy of a first-year associate, much less the chief lawyer of our nation’s most populous state.”

    When confronted with these critiques, Harris claimed she was shocked by her office’s arguments. She either had no clue what was happening in the biggest civil rights case her office was handling, or she simply lied and threw her deputies under the bus to distance herself from a backlash. Incompetent, or mendacious?  

    In the case of my client, Trilochan Singh Oberoi, an observant Sikh with a military background who sought a job as a prison guard but was denied on religious grounds, Harris caused her office to filibuster for four years. She argued against the applicability of well-settled religious liberty norms, before finally caving in and settling the case for attorney fees, back pay and a job after a national coalition of civil rights groups across the political spectrum joined hands to demand justice.  

    Harris went on to distort California charity regulations by stretching non-profit donor reporting laws to force charities to out their donors. This policy chilled nonprofit donations as proponents of cancel culture used public disclosures to blacklist, boycott and pressure donors. The Supreme Court struck down Harris’s policy as an unconstitutional First Amendment violation in Americans for Prosperity v. Bonta.

    In doing so, the court reaffirmed its landmark decision in NAACP v. Alabama that the First Amendment protects the civil right of private association. Harris was unfazed, having already moved on. 

    During her ill-fated 2019 presidential campaign, Harris continued to demonstrate flippant disregard for the Constitution. At a townhall, she stated that if elected, she would “give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and” pass gun control legislation. “And if they fail to do it, then” she would “take executive action.” That is, if the legislative branch failed to enact policies she wanted, she would usurp its Constitutional authority and enact such policies by fiat, Constitution be damned.

    Kamala Harris was no defender of civil rights when she exercised executive power as a district attorney and state attorney general. As president, Harris has already promised to ignore the Constitutional separation of powers and enact whatever policies she damn well pleases, just as she ignored Brady, Title VII, prisoner’s rights and due process. She’s shown us who she is all along, and voters should pay heed.
