    Harris is doing much better in the polls than Biden was, is raking in funds and is piling up endorsements from Republicans.

    This doesn’t guarantee victory but she is in good position to win. To use again the baseball analogy her team is going into the late innings with a one run lead with a good bullpen. On the other side they got a pitcher who can throw 104 MPH fastball but also can throw wild and balk in runs.

    I don’t know what she said here, and I don’t think she does either

    The bipartisan bill is far from perfect, but it is a big step forward with realistic policies. You know who doesn't like having realistic immigration policies and killed it? Hint: it's the guy who loves building a wall and promised Mexico would pay for it.

    In today's political climate her stances are not as important as a person who would be running for office against a person not so reviled as Trump.

    She just has to be scandal free.

    As a former Chef, it was always told to me less is more on a plate. And I believe that is her plan.

    Sorry for posting so much this morning, I have a three-day weekend, and I'm bored until I go apple picking later in the morning.

    Macintosh, Jonagold's, Cortland's, honey crisps, and Empire are big here. I bake with Granny smiths but that is not a favorite of the growers here locally.
    All the others are readily available.
    I feel apple picking is the biggest scam in the world.

    Kamala is on pace to have run the shortest POTUS campaign in the last 60 years.

    Polls are still in the margin of error.

    Kamala did something similar where she laughed about doing mar1juana despite prosecuting others who did the same.

    Let me know if you have evidence of anything. Otherwise, you're just spewing meaningless nonsense.

    You lose credibility when you say Biden makes more sense than Harris.

    But to your question, of course she has many phrases and answers that are both canned and pandering. That is typical politician behavior and has existed for decades. She doesn’t do it with the polish or charisma of Obama or Clinton, but they were elite in charisma and polish.

    As Nook said, she is trying to win independents and republicans who are tired of trump. This is exactly what one would expect. At the same time, it is pandering and not authentic.

    I suppose that is one of the reasons Trumpers love him. He seems more authentic or off the cuff because he says things that seem genuine and sincere because his statements piss people off, therefore Trumpers think he is authentic.

    However, Trumpers are too stupid to realize that Trump is playing them like a fiddle and what appears to be “anti establishment” authenticity is a calculated message - just as calculated as Harris - to appeal to his base, command and control them.

    Unlike idiotic Trumpers, I can see that Harris’ statements are calculated to appeal to independents and moderate republicans.

    Idiotic Trumpers are too stupid to see that trumps “authenticity” is calculated, and they are far too stupid to distinguish fact from fiction, and they quit trying a long long time ago.

    There is no duty to retreat in California. In addition, there is a legal presumption that the resident has reasonable fear if another person has unlawfully or forcibly enters or entered the residence. So in order for the castle doctrine to not apply, the prosecutor have to have prove that the home owner knows that the person did not forcibly enter or unlawfully the home and that the home owner was not acting in self defense.

    https://www.keglawyers.com/castle-d... Doctrine is the,the intruder in self-defense.

    That's a pretty strong castle doctrine protection. The tweet is false in all three assertions. The resident can shoot someone that's entering the house, has no duty to retreat, and has legal presumption that the intruder poses imminent peril of death or great bodily injury as soon as the intruder enters or entered the castle.

    So the house owner cannot shoot someone that's just walking across their yard or driving up the driveway, which I think is a reasonable limitation.

    I for one am surprised that the ex CA AG understands the law ... why can't she just wing it like Trump?

    You can't chase after them with your gun, then shoot them and claim self defense? Damn liberals and their government oppression.
