    Like all of your posts nothing but incessant misinformation and nonsense. Aren't you the one with a Dem wife? If so maybe you should listen to her.

    pick one. any one. your choice:

    • 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.

    If any of this is true, not going to waste my time fact checking right wing nonsense, it pales in comparison to raping women, funneling $2 Billion dollars from the Saudis to your daughter and son in law, trying to strongarm individual states to be complicit with your lie to overthrow election " all I need is 11,000 votes ..., fomenting riot at capitol then retreating to comfort of oval office to munch on hamburgers. If I had more time I could come up with a list 10 times longer than your questionable right wing rag sourced list that is actually true about trumps lies, deflections, and indiscretions.

    Kamala Harris did not get married until she was age 50. She has no biological children of her own.

    Makes you stop and think... why did so many men pass?

    Well son, when a man and a woman love each other very much they smash their ugly bits together and make a baby which through biological necessity consumes most of the waking hours of the woman's life for several years.

    This is why most high achieving women are childless. Turns out it's a real career advantage not having to take such a lengthy detour.

    Trump Donated to Kamala Harris’s Campaign When She Was California Attorney General
    Years before either came close to the White House, Donald J. Trump gave $6,000 to her re-election campaign. His daughter Ivanka gave $2,000.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/22/us/politics/trump-kamala-harris-donation.html

    excerpt:

    Long before former President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris were barreling toward a potential presidential showdown in November, Mr. Trump was one of her donors.

    Mr. Trump donated $6,000 to Ms. Harris’s campaign after she had begun her career in statewide politics as California’s attorney general, taking office in January 2011. Mr. Trump’s first donation, for $5,000, came in September 2011, and he made an additional $1,000 contribution in February 2013, according to state records.

    His daughter Ivanka also gave Ms. Harris’s campaign $2,000 in 2014, according to records first reported by The Sacramento Bee.

    In about 24 hours of Harris becoming the nominee she’s secured enough delegates and raised $100 million in small dollar donations. I think that is pretty strong evidence that many democrats might be resentful that Biden was “forced out” is not actually happening.

    I think this is far more valid criticism of
    Harris and better for Republicans to bring up these criticism than indulge in conspiracies about whether Biden is actually dead or going on about the deep state forcing Biden out.

    Yes, but turnout is a huge factor, and it has just shifted from negative to positive for the Democrats. Young voters were particularly disheartened (to put it lightly) by Biden. Now? I wouldn't be surprised if we see record turnout among the young, Black, and women.
