WHOMEVER HIDIN' BIDEN CHOOSES AS A RUNNING MATE WILL BE A DISASTER, BECAUSE HE HAS PAINTED HIMSELF INTO A CORNER WHERE CAN BE BULLIED INTO MAKING IDENTITY POLITICS THE SOLE CRITERION FOR HIS CHOICE. THE FACT THAT HIDEN BIDEN CAVED IN TO THAT LETTER FROM 100 BLACKS AND PICKED A BLACK RUNNING MATE WONT SIT TOO WELL WITH THE WHITES! THAT OMITS CONSIDERATION OF CHARACTER, INTELLECTUAL ACUMEN, MERIT BASED ON PERFORMANCE, POLICY POSITIONS, PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THE MPACT THEY'VE HAD ON SOCIETY, ETC. IF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC FINDS THAT NARROW, SHORT-SIGHTED, FRANKLY BIGOTTED APPROACH ACCEPTABLE, THEN OUR REPRESENTANAL REPUBLIC IS DOOMED TO BECOME EXTINCT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.
Anonymous forgets that in 2016, Trump didn't want Pence! But the RNC talked him into it.
From what I've heard and seen, millions and millions and millions of Democrats, Never Trumper Republicans, Independents, AND WOMEN OF ALL COLORS are energized by this pick.
"Wait till Harris debates……….mean, nasty, unpleasant. You guys might have seen her in the hearings I saw her in……….astonishingly mean personality."
Honestly, these people are so NOT self-aware. This from Trumpers who seem never to have watched Trump deliver vicious threats, name-calling, and lies at his rallies? Never seen him insult women journalists? Tell them to "SIT DOWN!" "BE QUIET!" "THAT'S A STUPID QUESTION!"
Apparently the Captain of the Mother Ship believes that's polite, kind behavior?
Whew! They really DO have their heads stuck up in a very dark place.
"President Donald Trump's campaign was quick to label Kamala Harris a "phony" lawmaker who has "gleefully embraced the left's radical manifesto" after she was unveiled Tuesday as Joe Biden's vice-presidential running mate.
But as recently as 2014, the Trump family made financial contributions to Harris, who is now a senator, when she was gunning to be California's attorney general.
Trump donated to Harris' attorney general campaigns in 2011 and 2014, for a total of $6,000, California state records show. The first contribution was for $5,000 in September 2011 and the second was for $1,000 in February 2013."
From ANON, or perhaps Franco the Lobster as it's his style...
"CHARACTER, INTELLECTUAL ACUMEN, MERIT BASED ON PERFORMANCE, POLICY POSITIONS, PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THE MPACT THEY'VE HAD ON SOCIETY, ETC."
What a rich lack of self awareness... a condemnation of Harris because she lacks Character, Intellectual Acumen & Performance in Politics?
And yet Anon supports Pres Trump, a poster child for lack of character, intellectual acumen and actual on the job performance. Seriously, apart from declaring bankruptcy, what has Trump ever successfully done?
"Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws and do you see any parallels with the KKK?”
Dave, We'd never expect self-awareness from the group of Trumpistas at that blog. All they do is rage, repeat misinformation and rumors, rage, and rage. One learns nothing except how angry and aggrieved they are. Better for one's mental health to stay away from them. Let them stew in their own bitter juices.
Not surprised. Those folks often share false information without bothering to check its veracity. I wouldn't put much value on what's posted there. It's usually gossip, misinformation, lies, and childish name-calling. IOW, they're good little Trumpistas.
Ignore it. It's what they do in desperation. They've seen how energized the Dems are now, and they'll use every dirty political trick to distract from the Disaster-in-Chief they support.
Here's what they (Mother Ship) saying about Harris, and it's focusing on her skin color, so here we go with the racism!
By the way…Yes she’s DARK but NOT THAT DARK….perfect for the Presidential candidate who’s doing NOTHING BUT PANDER FOR VOTES. Half Black, half Indian, right? Unhuh.
"DARK but NOT THAT DARK?" WTF? The core of Trumpism is rotten!
The Democrat Party doesn't nominate Ordinary Black People who were born in the ghetto. They find "exotics" who whose backgrounds are unclear and require lots of explanation. The real question is why the D's aren't interested in nominating REAL African Americans who grew up on the mean streets of the Ghetto instead of snooty pseudo-blacks from Berkeley. Why not nominate assjoles like Al Sharpton
"GOP" = White Supremacy identity politics. And Dotard is the phony.
As for Harris, my hope was that Biden would select a Progressive Black woman. Instead we have a ticket comprised of two moderates. At least Harris has said (while she was still running for president) that the DOJ should prosecute Dotard. It is necessary to finally hold a criminal republican president accountable. I pray Harris fights to get it done.
Biden? I don't know. He may believe it would be best to "move on" and put the disastrous Dotard presidency behind us. For the "good" of the nation. He is big on the idea that he can work with republicans somehow. Despite being a part of the Obama administration :(
"The Democrat Party doesn't nominate Ordinary Black People who were born in the ghetto. They find "exotics" who whose backgrounds are unclear and require lots of explanation. The real question is why the D's aren't interested in nominating REAL African Americans who grew up on the mean streets of the Ghetto instead of snooty pseudo-blacks from Berkeley.

The above is the very definition of "racism." The writer probably stole it from some Trumpista website, copied and pasted it. I've read DB's posts, and he's not capable of writing even this sort of trash.
Kamala Harris's background is not unclear: She was born in the United States of America, she's older than 35 years of age. She, therefore, is eligible to be vice president or even president of the U.S.A.
Kamala Harris's background is "exotic" only to old white people who've not been paying attention to America's demographics.
White racists will always find some "exotic" excuse to denigrate a fully American and qualified person of color because THEY'RE THREATENED BY THE FACT THAT THEY WILL SOON BE A MINORITY. And somewhere deep in their racist hearts they remember how they've treated people of color, a minority for years, and they are fearful of how they'll be treated in kind.
What DB wrote is pure racist bullshit.
Be aware of this during what will be a very contentious and nasty campaign.
Derv Correct. Read the comment by Darth Bacon to prove what you've written about White Supremacy identity politics. Also that woman who runs the Mother Ship and wrote Harris is "DARK, BUT NOT THAT DARK." That in and of itself is a racist comment. Why did she bring up the shade of Harris's skin? "Dark, but not that dark." What in the hell is the meaning of that?
Joe Biden bicycles into the debate hall, dismounts, runs up a ramp to his podium, one-handedly chugs a bottle of water, slams the empty bottle down onto the lectern and turns to Trump and says "sup, Assface?"
Concerned white woman: "What worries me: any and all criticism of Kamala Harris will be portrayed as racism and/or misogyny."
Another white woman talking about Harris: "By the way…Yes she’s DARK but NOT THAT DARK….perfect for the Presidential candidate who’s doing NOTHING BUT PANDER FOR VOTES. Half Black, half Indian, right? Unhuh."
Remember: When people use skin color or a shade of skin color to politically attack a person of color, that is in and of itself RACISM.
As an exercise: Have any of you EVER heard a white person discuss the shade of a white politician's skin coloring? EVER? As a way of denigrating that politician? No. There are gradations in "white skin." There are pinky white skins, white, white skins, olive white skins, etc. Do you think the woman who wrote the above ever mention how WHITEY WHITE Mike Pence is? Ha!
Listen carefully to how these holier-than-thou Trumpers clutch their pearls and worry about saying anything about Harris because it'll be seen as "racist." Then they write an egregious criticism of Harris, calling attention to her skin shade and racial background.
Their racism is so ingrained in their souls that they're not aware of it.
They don't see it because of their White Privilege. And that's why the current GOP will soon be history.
Shaw, the Trumpers don't understand that they can criticize Harris about her policies and her platform but when they bring the shade of her skin color and culture backdground in as a criticism, that's racism. They don't know the difference because they've done this to people like Harris all their lives and never got called on it so they don't get it.
Treat Harris like you'd treat any other politician and talk about what she's for or against.
Her skin color's got nothing to do with her policies, except maybe makes her more sensitive to racism?
They use this "dark but not that dark" crap only against Democrats. Never saw this when they talked about Candace Owen or Condaleeza Rice. What's up with that?
I am exhausted by Trump and Pence. Biden and Harris seem to be such fresh air. I saw Trump yesterday and he seemed a little shell shocked by it all. He called Harris a liar, disrespectful and nasty. That should go over big with women.
All the rhetoric, all the lies, the complete lack of integrity relative to traditional GOP, it does, to say the least define Trump's GOP. Hypocritical, irrational, and ineffective. Apparently, having won a plethora of elections by constant negativity (Trump took it to never before seen levels), the GOP figures its the goose that laid the golden egg.
Biden/Harris must hit the facts, hard and often. Keep with the issues, outline GOP and Trump's failures, AND, go negative, negative, negative on Trump/Pence. In every conceivable possible TRUTHFUL way. Take a page from the GOP/Trump playbook.
As for Kamala Harris. Bright, very articulate, knowledable, forceful, a good pick. Having said this I personally find her a bit edgy at time. Other moderates may feel the same way. Hopefully she will know when to temper and when to strike hard. She does bring a lot to the ticket. A smart pick by Biden.
The crap from Trump, FOX enthusiasts, and the Motherahip simply exposes the fact they are worried. In a big way. Dems have a golden opportunity right now. Hopefully they don't self destruct. The nation's health depends on it. Literally as well as figuratively.
"What worries me: any and all criticism of Kamala Harris will be portrayed as racism and/or misogyny."
The quote comes from AOW who runs the blog Always on Watch. She is a conservative woman, and a teacher who has lived her entire life on one property in Virginia.
As Ray points out, what AOW and the extremist bloggers, newsmakers, influencers within the GOP don't understand is this... speak about, be critical of, rail against the policies of women, minorities and others all you want. But do it without bringing into the conversation the excess baggage of race, religion, sexual preferences, etc.
Sadly, for many, as Shaw pointed out, their racism is so ingrained they are unable to have the discussion about policies without resorting to racist tropes. If you are talking about someone's shade of blackness, ordinary blacks, thinking blacks, ambitious women, housewives, sleeping your way to the top, calling Harris "Hobama" and posting links to nasty photoshopped pictures, you're not in criticize policy mode, you're in misogyny and racism zone.
How else to explain your comments elsewhere that say "that 3 x more blacks are voting for Trump, then voting Democratic!."
How can you explain gifts by Donald Trump and others in his family to Harris' reelection campaign for Atty General of California in 2013 if she is such a bad pick? This wasn't some campaign decades ago. This is recent history. The current president, and his family, felt she was a good enough candidate to help get her elected.
Dave: "If you are talking about someone's shade of blackness, ordinary blacks, thinking blacks, ambitious women, housewives, sleeping your way to the top, calling Harris "Hobama" and posting links to nasty photoshopped pictures, you're not in criticize policy mode, you're in misogyny and racism zone."
"Hobama?" for Harris? I didn't see that one. From the same people who were indignant when anyone said anything about FLOTUS Melania Trump's background in nude modeling for sleazy men's magazines? From the same people who are fine with Trump's serial adulteries? I think that's called situational morality. When one of theirs has questionable morals and backgrounds, they're okay with and ignore it. But who's surprised?
I expected this once Harris was chosen. One can see their fear of this ticket just by reading their comments.
We are being OPPRESSED by our OWN government. They are telling us we cannot worship in assembly. We cannot conduct business as we have for centuries. We cannot congregate. Our voice in the public square is being suppressed. Our lives are threatened by rioters and the rioters are protected.
Hey government! Your knee is on my neck "I can't breathe".
That government that you're complaining about is DONALD TRUMP'S government. He's been president for 3 1/2 years. You need to call the White House STAT and tell them how oppressed you are under the Trump Administration.
If you go to FOX News on line, you can read how the Harris nomination has the progressive base of the Dems disappointed. Because she isn't progressive enough. If you listen to the White House, Harris is the Biden Whisperer, actually running the show. Other political operatives paint her as a tool of the progressives driving us towards socialism.
Other sites paint her as totally incompetent, unable to do anything.
It can't be D. All of the above.
It must be the throw everything at her until something sticks campaign strategy.
In 2019, Kamala Harris said she believed the women who had accused Biden of inappropriate touching. When Harris said this, Biden had not yet announced his candidacy. When a journalist asked Harris if Biden should still run given the accusations against him, she said, He's going to have to make that decision for himself."
And as if on cue, Republicans and Conservatives have another campaign trying not to discredit Democratic VP Candidate Harris on the issues, rather to brand her as not elegible to even hold the office. And of course, with an opportunity to dismiss it as out of hand, as not worthy of discussion, our current president chooses instead to fan the flames of what even the Captain of the Mothership says make conservatives look like "stupid idiots!" She even went a step further, why I don't know, and said Obama was a legit citizen including the original birthers in the group that looks like, again... stupid idiots!
Perhaps the Obama birthers and now the Harris birthers look like "stupid idiots" because they are! And that includes by definition, Mr Trump, Glenn Beck and a long list of current and former administration officials and dubious news commentators.
Apparently an ancestor of Kamala Harris named Hamilton Brown owned slaves. Which very likely means she has a female ancestor who was raped by her master. Yet, according to Minus, that makes Kamala responsible. Quote: "when you look at Kamala Harris, your looking directly into the face of Hamilton Brown. Live with it".

Donald Trump, as expected, called Kamala Harris “nasty.” I’m counting on her showing him exactly how nasty she can be. He’s earned it.
Just Found on the "Mother Ship".
For those of you that think Camel Toe is SO "Smart", just wait until Trump puts her through the MEAT Grinder.

Re: the Trumpers' racist attacks on Harris. Here's what they're doing over at FAUX NOOZ:
"Excerpts from the Fox memo on Kamala-- 1)whatever you do, don't pronounce her name right, let's show our disrespect up front.
2) Use Hussein as her middle name, our viewers will love it.
3) Really mix things up and question whether she's black. Don't go overboard on this.
Sounds like the Mother Ship got the memo. LOL!
In a nutshell, here are the "Christian values" that now define the current GOP:
TRUMP:
Senator Hillary Clinton —nasty woman
Senator Kamala Harris — nasty woman
Child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell— I wish her well.
The Democrat Party doesn't nominate Ordinary Black People who were born in the ghetto. They find "exotics" who whose backgrounds are unclear and require lots of explanation.
