Not true at all for me. I type Dona and first suggestion I get is Donald Trump Assassination. Now if I type less than that. It varies. D & Do - Donald Trump Age Don - Donald Trump Georgia
I do want her to win, as I'm 100% opposed to Trump's personality and anti-democracy candidates. That has been my view since 2015. As for Harris herself, I'm neither for nor against her personally (I still don't know much about her stance - I know enough, but not in details). I don't think crypto matters that much at this time, but I'm in tech, and my preference has always been to allow innovation with some guardrails to protect consumers. I don't understand crypto enthusiasts that well (but enough to be dangerously wrong), but from my perspective, consumer guardrails help, not hurt, bitcoin becoming more mainstream. Consumers want protection before getting involved. That might simply be a mismatch with "bitcoin ideology", I don't know. Why do I think she might be more open to it than Biden? Not much. It's based on what Cuban reported, and I believe it’s been reported that she has ties to tech executives from Silicon Valley. It was also reported that her husband is a crypto guy, but I have no idea if that's factual. Trump doesn't know much of anything, but he believes (or at least talks) like he knows everything, thus he doesn't learn new things—just BS most of the time. Harris can learn and understand like most normal people. Whether she learns more about it to take a stance is probably related to her priorities. I would hope she does take some time to learn and form a position, but we'll see. ps I wouldn't be surprised if RFK dropped out and endorsed Trump due to their shared anti-vaccine stance. If so, watch the conspiracies fly after that.
Gotcha. I don't really think its a big deal because if you want to look for trump assassination info you'll find it, but sites like Google do bury links and search results I found this study interesting though, which took place in Australia. Says childless women age 30-45 have significantly lower mental health, among other things, than their counterparts: https://bmcwomenshealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1472-6874-11-47 Also binge drinking is increasing the most in these groups: https://www.bu.edu/sph/news/article...-risk-of-binge-drinking-alcohol-use-disorder/ Which also correlates to this group having the highest use of anti-depressants. There is definitely something growing here that should be looked at if the negative trends continue
We'll have to wait and see on the kamala stuff. All that is an unknown. As it stands, Trump will be friendlier for crypto. As for RFK and being anti-vax, that is incorrect. RFK is pro-choice when it comes to vaccines which I guess in America today is the same as anti-vax. Like I said, he is a 2008 Democrat on his stances and his vaccine take is yet another one.
It is rather shocking and offensive that woman in an elected position dated other elected officials, isn't it?
Not necessarily the same. Anti-vax refers specifically to misleading claims or downright lies about vaccines themselves. The vaccine mandate debate is a related but separate discussion. People can hold various combinations of views: Pro-vaccine/pro-mandate Pro-vaccine/anti-mandate Anti-vaccine/anti-mandate
Women aren't allowed to date. They must live with their parents until a man kidnaps or buys them. Then they must make babies and cook for said man.
Charles Cooke has the ability to dictate Harris' campaign? She could run her campaign any way she sees fit, I believe rather than options only referenced by Charles CW Cooke. His Xweets are meaningless.
related https://theglitteringeye.com/slow-posting/ . . . At the Wall Street Journal Jon Kamp, Richard Rubin, and Justin Lahart struggle to figure out what VP Harris’s economic views might be: Kamala Harris is well known for her forceful defense of abortion rights, her role within the Biden administration on immigration and border security, and her legacy as a prosecutor and attorney general of California. But the economy is a central election issue, and there, her positions and policy goals haven’t yet been as clearly defined. Her record does reveal, however, some clues about her priorities, including a focus on low-income workers, women, small businesses and middle-class families. As vice president, Harris has largely moved in lockstep with President Biden on economic issues, and some analysts see this record as a road map. “In general, we think she’ll pick up the Biden-Harris mantle,” policy analysts at Evercore ISI said in a note Tuesday. Before her time in the administration, she sometimes differed with Biden—specifically in trade and climate-related policy—often by favoring bigger governmental interventions in the economy. For nearly 50 years Joe Biden has striven to characterize himself as a moderate by positioning himself in the center of the Democratic Party, wherever that might have been at the time. VP Harris has made no such effort. Her four years in the Senate were notable for her striking a position as the farthest left member of the Senate. Under the circumstances it seems unlikely to me that she will veer to the center of the Democratic Party let alone the center of the country should she be elected president. The Economist struggles similarly to decode her foreign policy views: Ms Harris did not mention foreign policy in her first campaign rally as her party’s presumptive nominee, in Wisconsin on July 23rd. Her cv on foreign affairs was thin at first, and the subject of controversy about her role in trying to deal with the “root causes” of migration from Central America. Indeed Republicans have renewed attacks on her for failing to secure the southern border. That said, Ms Harris has become somewhat more assured lately, having visited Europe, Asia and Africa, among other regions. Her national security adviser, Philip Gordon, is a veteran of European and Middle Eastern affairs at the State Department and the White House under Democratic administrations. More than 350 former national-security officials, including Democratic Party heavyweights, described Ms Harris as “the best qualified person to lead our nation as Commander in Chief”, with more experience of foreign affairs than most recent incoming presidents. Ms Harris shares Mr Biden’s internationalism. In February at the Munich Security Conference, an annual talkfest, she warned against American retrenchment under Mr Trump. “Isolation is not insulation. In fact, when America has isolated herself, threats have only grown.” But just as she may lack Mr Biden’s love of Israel, she may also not fully share his generation’s instinctive transatlanticism. Unlike Mr Trump, she would not threaten to abandon European allies. But American politicians of all persuasions are increasingly preoccupied with the growing rivalry with China. I find the attempts to characterize her efforts over the last several years as becoming some sort of foreign policy guru not just far-fetched but rather pathetic. What is far more likely is that the Department of State will continue its preferred role of dictating its preferred foreign policy direction rather than paying any attention whatever to the “temporary help”, as insiders refer to the White House. more
IT's fine to disagree or question what her economic views might be. They could have remained unchanged, they could be exactly what Biden's were. They could also be a million other directions and nuances with parts of those or none of those. I think it is wise to want to examine her economic policy ideas going forward, as would be to examine Trump's. Having some differences from Biden's economic policy doesn't mean it is identical and unchanged from her 2019 ideas. Having some things in common with Biden's economic philosophy doesn't mean it is identical. The Xweet made no sense at all. This article at least broaches sense making in some areas.
