Whomever it is, is not doing her any favors. She looks physically uncomfortable, not just the too-tight clothing and the necklace, but her hair seems scraped back in a painful way. It's difficult to watch her.

contradiction to his strong pro-civil rights record. But as long as she can win applause for her
ability to “eat people alive” rhetorically, she will not fail to keep showing off.

What those who fawn over this rather narrow though admittedly entertaining gift fail to see is that
the most crucial duties a president carries out have nothing to do with this kind of attack ability prosecutors are well known and trained for.

What other skills qualify Harris for the presidency? What knowledge and relevant experience does she bring to her quest to be the next leader of a superpower, in fact of the free world?

Maybe that's wrong, but dammit, she knows how to dish it, but doesn't know how to take it. She looked completely frustrated.

Loved it when Kamala ignored her stupid question about the t-shirts, waving it away like it was a troublesome gnat.

There are people with around 100 posts who are simply here to stir the pot, attack using right wing talking points, and turn us against one another. This is the same playbook as described in the Mueller report that they used in 2016.

They're highly effective. And it's only going to get more intense.
