    I am actually more comfortable with Harris being up there than the the hairy legged hair sniffing weirdo that cannot keep his hands off little girls.  Hope she doesn’t have to spend too much time with Biden, but she seems like someone that can hold her own.
    Oh boy!

    Oh great, now I'll be up all night meticulously perusing my big fat DSM-IV-TR searching and searching for SDS, TDS, while diligently avoiding STDs and LSD.  I'll let you know what I find ASAP.

    Swing votes?
    You are either in favor of the evil, racist, sexist, slime existing in office or you are for human decency.  
    As much as I am not really aligned with the Dems, Great Grandpoppa Joe, and Kamala Harris, there is only one choice to make.
    Never Trump.


    You just described the left congrats on waking up. I will never support evil, pedophilia, and a socialist world of free fucking handouts for those who refuse to work real jobs.

    Sadly, Trump, who is an idiot, but one who has done nothing wrong; except in the eyes of those with TDS. He is the lesser of 2 evils here. Joe could have went middle of the road, but he went with a left wing extremist nut job who destroyed CA. 

    jimjam, you don't see undoing decades of environmental protection as wrong-doing? Or completely and repeatedly botching his response to the coronavirus as a disaster?  Or being an embarrassment to Americans to most of the rest of the world.  Etc., etc.

    And what "world" is it you're referring to that is "a socialist world of free fucking handouts for those who refuse to work real jobs"?  And what is a "real job" and what isn't?

    And what, pray tell, is a TDS?  Some kind of venereal disease?
    1. The coronoavirus was solved and over in May until Soros and the progressives sent their henchman out to riot, loot and keep it going. Blame those slaughtering hundreds of thousands so they can win an election, not Trump. He's not a scientist. Its not his place to fix a man made disease. Handling was fine amd it was fixed once. Blood is on the hands of the progressives here.

    2. America is like the least of the world's pollution problems. See China, Russia (hello Chernobyl) and some 3rd or developing world asian countries. Take up your grievances with them. We still have the EPA and plenty of laws. Opting out if the Paris  Agreement was actually brilliant. 

    3. He is kind of emabrassment, but thats better than letting the socialist/fascist/commie bastards take over.

    4. The world I refer to is all these people that abuse the free handouts. If the progressives had it their way we would do the jobs they told us, collect our bread, and rely on them for medical. Fuck that. Not my america, maybe world was the wrong word choice. But the agenda of the left has a strong similarity pattern to Nazi Germany (google useful idiots, it perfectly describes the lefts goals amd their followers) and i dont trust soros or the Clinton's and that whole gang they could aim for world domination if they can get America. 

    5. Real job: a career. There are too many adults that think working part time jobs made for teenagers are real jobs. They aren't, they are jobs for kids to learn at. 

    6. TDS: Trump Derangement Syndrome. Those who just blame trump even if he has nothing to do with it. Just Google it.

    Any other questions?
    Until this post I thought I was smoking the best stuff around.

    REMINDER: It's important. Discuss the topics and issues and NOT each other. Posts will disappear if you do that....and if you post that kind of thing, you could be making your forum account read-only. Don't cause that to happen. 
    Thank you.

    Its all they've had for 11 1/2 years. Why would now be different? I'm still waiting for Team trump Treason's and the repub party's health care plan that is cheaper and better than Obamacare. Did it just go away like things go away?

    When Trump says things like she's "the kind of opponent everyone dreams of," that's when I know it was a good pick.

    I couldn't pick Soros out of a line-up if I had to. It is a hilarious obsession of some, no doubt.

    Hi, McGruff.  I read this older article yesterday. It was pretty interesting:
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/i-am-who-i-am-kamala-harris-daughter-of-indian-and-jamaican-immigrants-defines-herself-simply-as-american/2019/02/02/0b278536-24b7-11e9-ad53-824486280311_story.html

    It's long, so I'm not going to cut and paste here. If you don't have a subscription, let me know, and I'll see if my share code is still available. But the general idea is that her mom, from India, embraced and immersed herself in black culture when she arrived in the US from India, so that is why Harris identifies as African American, though when asked, she says she is simply "American."  She wrote a book similar to Obama's about being biracial but does not have the angst he had growing up.

    Precisely! Not to suggest Harris is the political equivalent to Jordan, but hearing trump claim Harris was the opposition he hoped for would like Shawn Kemp saying he would want to go against Jordan over anyone else in a game 7 NBA Finals. Sure, if Kemp were to win, he'd have the luxury of saying he bested Jordan. But he'd MUCH rather go into a game 7 facing Sam Bowie and the Nets.

    She's described as African American/ Asian American which, I believe, is referred to as Afro-Asian.

    I gathered from the article that the family took on "African American" or "Black" more as a cultural identity than a racial one. Based on the article, you would be correct in saying that Harris identifies herself as an American who identifies with African American/Black culture. She herself is is not hung up on her race. She's married to a white guy, to complicate matters even more. 
    Honestly, I really wish we (Americans, the world) would just stop with this "race" construct. It's a completely made up idea, biologically speaking. And now with so many people being born to blended backgrounds, it just doesn't work anymore.
