When you realize why some mixed race people are the descendants of slave owners, you will realize this probably isn’t the big “gotcha” you think it is.

Not looking for a gotcha...just showing that 1 candidate believe we should pay reparations to non slaves when her family was a major slave owner..as opposed to the other whose family didn't own slaves..if sje really wanted to make a point for reparations she actually start something with her own money instead of using tax payers

How bad is your movement if it can lose to Biden then Harris in consecutive elections? Ouch

Trump definitely has problems, but to be fair he wasn't just competing against Biden and he isn't just competing against Kamala. Almost the entirety of the mainstream media is trying to get him to lose and working to portray Kamala in the absolute best possible light while dumping trash on her opposition. That would be hard for any normal candidate to overcome.

Agree….and not only this but social media as well. They can flip their positions on policy and say whatever they want to say and acuse whatever they want to accuse without retribution. Should we continue the pathetic path we are on, we will rue the day.

Women are a prime example…..5-8 years ago it was “we are women hear us roar” and today they are getting knocked out in the first round by a guy and those on the left seem to be OK with it. Some day, they will do the same to every group they are patronizing today.

God be with us.

Sen. Mark Kelly’s past days Hawking Vitamins in China resurfaces amid veepstakes​


Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly has had many jobs: an astronaut, a Navy captain – and, apparently, a Chinese pill pusher.

Kelly’s past days hawking vitamins in China resurfaced this week amid speculation that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris may pick him as her running-mate.

The now-Democratic senator in 2015 barreled onto a stage in the country riding a US and Chinese-flagged motorcycle with Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” blasting in the background to promote Shaklee vitamins, Washington Post contributing columnist Jim Geraghty wrote linking to the unearthed footage of the strange spectacle.

“I took Shaklee vitamins and the Shaklee rehydration drink while in orbit aboard the space shuttle,” the former astronaut boasted to the crowd in China in 2015.

Wasn't Doug Dickey involved in Shakley in some form?

Agree that he was walking into a buzz saw but it ain’t up for debate. He NEVER should have been allowed to do it and if his handlers thought it was a good idea, they should have been fired this morning. Pretty sure some probably argued against it but when has he ever listened to anyone? He is always going to let that gorilla mouth overload his squirrel brain.

Handlers? That has been the trouble with Trump. He calls all the shots, himself. He makes the decisions and everybody around him complies. If he says he is doing it, nobody questions it. This was a no win for him.

Of course morals and ethics don't matter to the MAGA Cult, but only because they know Trump has neither. They can't reconcile Trumps lack of character or integrity so they now jump to the "everybody does it" playbook which they know is false but it soothes their tender souls. MAGA has no principles, they are lost. They think Trump is their beacon of hope because they have been left behind in today's world. The irony is he couldn't care less about his base but since it's a cult, they blindly oblige.

Morals? Your party just pushed old man Biden out because he couldn’t win or put together a sentence. May want to pocket the moral talk before flip flop has stopped flopping.

Is your morals voting for the side chick now?

Shaklee Products Conflict-of-Interest Controversy - Volopedia

In June 1991 the Knoxville Journal requested an April 4, 1990, audit report dealing with the relationship of Athletics Director Doug Dickey and his wife JoAnne, who owned a Shaklee distributorship, to the UT Athletics Department. The audit, prepared by UT auditor Richard Boring, indicated that...

‘Failed The Community’: Indian-Americans Sound Off On Kamala Harris’ ‘Submerged’ Indian Heritage, Focus On Black ID​


1722559329135.png

Indian-Americans are sounding off on Vice President Kamala Harris’ alleged attempts to downplay her Indian heritage in favor of her Jamaican side of the family.

Less than a week ago, as Harris entered the presidential race, the New York Times wrote that the vice president’s Indian heritage is “little advertised.” Harris, with an Indian mother and black Jamaican father, has long been touted as a historic figure breaking glass ceilings. But some Indian-Americans told the Caller they feel Harris’ Indian identity is highlighted only when it’s “convenient” for her.

Pro-Palestinian activists are trying to prevent Vice President Kamala Harris from choosing Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a practicing Jew, as her running mate, according to a Thursday report from The New York Times.

Harris is reportedly vetting Shapiro to be the potential winner of her veepstakes. But activist and political groups like Uncommitted, the Democratic Socialists of America and IfNotNow are strongly objecting to his candidacy, The New York Times reported.

Progressives urge Harris to consider Beshear, Walz for VP, not Shapiro​

A group of progressive leaders is urging likely Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to consider Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) or Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) as her running mate and rule out Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), as the party seeks to consolidate its base ahead of November.

Close to 50 progressive leaders hailing from states ranging from California to Kentucky — including the originator of the coalition efforts, California Democratic Party Progressive Caucus Chair Emeritus Amar Shergill — signed onto a letter released Tuesday telling Harris that they “whole-heartedly” endorsed her campaign while noting that “it is difficult to overstate the importance of your decision in selecting a Vice-Presidential running mate.”

"I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black?"

^^^^ Like she's Rachel Dolezal or something ??? It's like he wants to accuse her of being disingenuous about her ethnicity, like Elizabeth Warren, but then he offers nothing to support that.

He’s such an idiot. Why did he go down this road? If he had any good moments they’d be completely overshadowed by idiocy like this. He’s playing right into the Dem strategy if he talks about anything other than policy.

Yeah ..... it's best to let the other babbling idiot talk, like she did at the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago. Trump will eventually beat himself. She just needs to stay out of his way.
