    Between the subtle and overt stuff about Harris until November. Then 4 years of obese orange Trump the R party will be in shambles. I hope it along with D’s break apart.

    I wish Pete had more popularity. It would be fun watching him own Fox News like he did when he was campaigning for Biden.

    What's really funny is that Trump & Co used their whole convention bashing Biden and now he's not the candidate - wasted their entire convention!

    I hear the Truth Social crowd is melting down.

    They are people who would have voted Democrat regardless. My guess is the people they need to convince are swing voters from blue collar backgrounds with traditional values, ie white and minority Archie Bunker types.

    Keep up the slut-shaming. That will help you with women.

    Does Trump want to deport Blacks to Africa like Lincoln desperately wanted to or something


    Are you implying women are sluts are something? Slut/b****/hoe are like the top 3 words that are used as insults during fight and arguments. It's not going to matter at all since it is true and was well known, especially in california

    excerpt:

    The Heavy Hand

    Court-packing is hardly the only way in which Harris is not only terrible on just about every public-policy issue under the sun but also dangerously authoritarian and contemptuous of the essential norms that have allowed our system of constitutional democracy to survive this long. There is no question that Harris is inclined to use every lever of power available to circumvent Congress and bring the machinery of government down on anyone who stands in the way of her agenda. A sample:

    • Harris pledged to issue a gun ban by presidential executive fiat; when Biden objected that the Constitution might be an obstacle to that, she laughed out loud at the idea of the Constitution as an obstacle.
    • In 2017, Harris opposed Justice Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation on the grounds that he was too concerned with the law to serve on the Supreme Court, saying that he “valued legalisms over real lives.”
    • As California attorney general, Harris used her office’s criminal-enforcement powers to go after David Daleiden for exposing Planned Parenthood’s involvement in illegal fetal-tissue trafficking, including raiding his apartment. Then, working hand in glove with Planned Parenthood, she lobbied for the legislature to empower her successor to prosecute Daleiden for undercover journalism. Many of Harris’s charges against Daleiden were later thrown out in court. This is a blatant assault on free speech and a free press. Long after Harris left California, Daleiden is still fighting the legal assault against him.
    • Harris also weaponized her office as California attorney general to pursue Americans for Prosperity and other groups over their dissent from left-wing climate orthodoxy. Harris’s effort to force nonprofits to disclose their donor lists was later found to violate the First Amendment, but not before a court found that Harris’s office “systematically failed to maintain the confidentiality” of those records. Of course, intimidating the donors out of giving was the point. Her position was so extreme, and so favorable to foreign tyrants such as Xi Jinping, that it was denounced by a massive cross-ideological spectrum of amicus groups including the Biden administration itself and resulted in a Supreme Court rebuke that specifically cited the misconduct of Harris’s office. Liberals were appalled at how badly the case went.
    • Harris ran on rewriting immigration law by presidential executive fiat, a platform David French aptly characterized at the time as “Why run for president when you can run for queen?” Of course, the Biden m.o. of trying to rule by executive order would only accelerate with Harris as president.
    • Harris pledged another executive fiat on prescription drugs: “I’ll give Congress 100 days to send legislation to my desk to stop Big Pharma from raking in massive profits at the expense of Americans. If Congress won’t act, I will.”
    • Harris pledged to bulldoze the legislative filibuster, interring two centuries of Senate tradition, if Congress does not pass the Green New Deal.
    • Harris demanded, with no basis whatsoever in the Constitution, that states be required to “pre-clear” changes to their abortion laws through the federal executive branch.
    • In California, Harris pushed to jail parents for truancy, using a law whose passage she advocated.
    • Harris has publicly embraced on multiple occasions “my dear friend” Al Sharpton, the most toxic figure in American political life, responsible for inciting murder, riot, arson, and antisemitic pogroms, leading a hoax rape accusation against innocent men, and tax evasion, among other things.
    • By contrast, as a senator, Harris grilled a judicial nominee on his membership in the long-standing, mainstream Catholic group the Knights of Columbus.
    • During the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, Harris ran with the most scurrilous smears against him, reading into the Congressional Record the ludicrous and since-discredited gang-rape charge peddled by Michael Avenatti. Harris tried to get Kavanaugh impeached from the D.C. Circuit. Truth was beside the point; Kavanaugh was in the way.
    • Remember when people professed to be shocked by “lock her up” because Americans aren’t supposed to advocate jailing their political opponents? Harris said during her campaign that she would have “no choice” but to criminally prosecute Trump if elected.
    • Harris frequently defended her hard-line stances as attorney general by claiming that she was bound to defend the law, but she refused to defend the popularly enacted Proposition 8 (barring same-sex marriage) in court.
    • Similarly, when political violence erupts on her own side, Harris plays a different tune. During the George Floyd riots, she supported a fund to bail out rioters, making it more difficult for order to be restored and exacerbating the violence, the thwarting of government business, and destruction of property of innocent people.
    • Finally, there is Harris’s record as a criminal prosecutor. While I have no objection to the aggressive use of proper law-enforcement powers against crime, there is an enormous paper trail of criticism of Harris for, among other things, defending unjust convictions, withholding evidence, protecting prosecutorial misconduct, and even arguing that prisoners should not be released because the state needed their labor.
    The overall picture of Harris’s record is one that ought to alarm anyone who believes in limited constitutional government and individual liberty. As David Harsanyi concluded: “There is no power Harris has held that she hasn’t abused.” The fact that much of this passes for mainstream thought in her party makes this worse, not better. Our system has a strong immune system against threats of the sort that Donald Trump has presented; it has a very weak immune system against threats of the sort Harris presents. Virtually every abuse of power she champions would have a battery of institutions — the press, the academy, the bar — lining up to support her.
