yes it's nice that it's joever but kamala is fucking evil. she's a cop, she laughed about putting parents in jail for their children's truancy, and she wouldn't let cannabis offenders out of prison after it was legalized because she got paid by private prison lobbies to do so. total scumbag who deserves absolutely 0 support from anybody but the most trump derangement syndrome riddled liberals
Death to America
She is a complete ghoul. She and her family are also mobbed up with gig work companies. They helped campaign against rights and protections for gig workers.
She's also ridiculous and really bad at what is basically her only job - winning popularity contests lol
Her brother worked for Uber to make sure they beat that law in California that would have made gig workers employees
Kamala's husband, Douglas Emhoff, was also a lawyer for corporate clients including Wal-Mart and Merck Pharmaceuticals. So, pretty similar to the Clintons and other neolib Democrats. But maybe he's gotten better recently? Maybe he has had a change of heart after seeing the guts of the imperialistic war machine? Let's see what Doug has been up to lately: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/04/doug-emhoff-anti-semitism-college-campuses-00125384
Emhoff: There is an ‘antisemitism crisis’ on our nation’s campuses
"It’s an antisemitism crisis to be clear on our campuses and even in our K-through-12 schools, on our streets and our markets, wherever you go."
Yeah, don't you hate it when you go to "the markets" and people magically know that you're Jewish and start saying antisemitic things to you? Who among us has not tried to buy avocados at Whole Foods, and been asked to prove that we were not Jewish before being allowed to check out? I know that children in Gaza are starving and getting bombs dropped on him, but please spare a thought for poor old Doug. I'm sure it's hard out there for Doug on "the streets." (/s)
Whom amoungst us has not had bad expierences at our markets.
Spoken like a person that has not seen the inside of a "market" in decades
"I overheard the village apothecary say 'from the river to the sea.'"
And the tanners were all talking about how ots a settler colonial project
"My friend went to buy some falafel, and they made me pay the jizyah tax. That friend's name? Albert Einstein."
iirc she was appointed to her first two public jobs simultaneously by Willie Brown, one of which she was ineligible by statute to hold (some kind of state public health board or medical board)
The first president ever to receive 0 votes in any primary. Probably, idk, fuck US electoral history.
I forgot she withdrew before the primaries even began in 2020 lmao. For some reason I thought she had gotten at least a couple delegates before flopping
The current primary systems didn't really exist until 1972. This was mainly in response to a bunch of people getting mad that the 1968 Democratic nominee, Hubert Humphrey, was nominated without a single primary vote because he simply inherited Lyndon B. Johnson's delegates.
National primaries weren't even a thing until relatively recently, but this is definitely a weird case--sort of analogous to the JFK assassination or Nixon stepping down, but those were both well before their respective conventions. Side note, but somehow I never knew that Reagan ran against Ford in the 1976 GOP primary and Ford barely edged him out.
edit: sorry, I now realize what you meant but I'll leave it up for the fun fact
Goddamn he's ancient. But it really gives insight into how short u.s history really is, doesn't it?
Like the recently oft-repeated trivia that Biden was born closer to Lincoln's inauguration than his own
I like saying he was born during World War 2 during the battle of Stalingrad
is this true? from a cursory search it seems about equidistant but I think it skews a year or two the other way, no?
Lincoln's second inaugural (which was when they did them in early March instead of January)
it's still a few years off though, no? March 4th 1861 -> November 20th 1942 is over 81 years. Biden was 78 when he took office. crazy that it's so close but I can't see how the trivia is true
John Tyler had a son when he was 63 years old, and his son had his son when he was 75(!) years old. Damn, the Tyler line must had some potent sperm or something.
Al Pacino Excited To Spend Life Watching His Baby Grow Up To Be Toddler
BEVERLY HILLS, CA—Following reports that the 83-year-old actor was expecting a child with his girlfriend, Al Pacino told reporters Thursday that he was excited to spend his life watching his baby grow up to be a toddler. “I’m going to be there for all of it, from the first smile and laugh, all the way to the first time they string two words together,” said Pacino, who acknowledged that although 24 months may seem like “all the time in the world,” he still intended to cherish every moment with his child like it was his last. “I know I won’t be around forever, of course. One day there will come a day when the child is 3 or 4. But if I’ve done my job as a parent, they’ll hopefully know how to fend for themselves at that point.” At press time, Pacino added that in the event the worst were to happen, Robert De Niro would serve as the child’s legal guardian.
one part of my brain is agreeing with you, the other is entirely motivated by schadenfreude for Hillary Clinton. I live in Illinois so I’m not going to vote for her because it’s pointless here so I’m sticking to first principles but I also hope to relish in the feeling that Hillary lives to see that the first woman president is not herself
I think my full position is:
- Kamala is a piece of shit and does not deserve the ticket
- Kamala is funny unintentionally, and in the same capacity as Trump, I want to see her quarantined into her own talk show away from affecting anyone's lives
- Joe Biden is also a piece of shit so I'm happy to see his ego bruised
- I want to live knowing Hillary is forced to exist alongside the reality that she had no excuse besides the fact that people specifically didn't like her and that she fucked up in fumbling the bag to Trump
After reading this... I... I might actually vote for her. Basically for the lulz.
This is wishful lib thinking.
If Kamala won, Clinton wouldn't think "oh, I guess it was my fault". She would say "America wasn't ready for a woman president when I lost", or some other cope bullshit.
no I know she's not going to have a public outburst or a reckoning, fuck her, I just want her to live with the fact that she did not secure the bag and someone did it two terms later, even if she has to constantly make excuses for it. I want her to experience that cognitive dissonance and I want her to get 5% more insane excusing it to herself, I want her ego to dip further into unreality
There's an entire cottage industry of takes around the "politicians all suck" sentiment in this country and she will forever be branded as being uniquely unlikable among them. The worst turd in the open sewer of American politics.
I'm so stoked about that
The disgusting reality of Copmala's record isn't coming close to blunting my high. Today slapped
that would indeed be fucking awesome. a cum town but literally coming to life lmao
Death to America
She also supports genocide as much as Biden, even if there is less visible glee.
https://www.jpost.com/us-elections/article-811309
Harris went on to say, understanding that Israel has a right to defend itself, how it does still matters.
Kamala Harris is literally turning a big dial that says "Genocide the Muslims" on it, and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right.
She's an awful candidate whose political career started because she dated the mayor of San Francisco who gave her a job which would sound like an awful sexist cliche if it wasn't true
Holy Jesus, Willie Brown. He was old when he retired and that itself was decades ago. He's 31 years older than her.
of course she is, she's a cop. dedicated her whole career to being a DA until she became AG for cali
Everything you're saying is true, BUT!
It would be deliciously humiliating for Hillary Clinton to have to watch the inauguration of the first woman president and it isn't her.

mostly i'm hoping some dumb lib from lemm.ee or whatever will come in here to see our reaction to the joeverness and then see this and get pissed off lol
Death to America
Would you rather have 100pct Hitler or 100pct someone who was a "cop"?
Lmao
Actually, all the candidates are stopping Hitler but they are also Hitlers themselves. We have a diverse cast of Hitlers.
No they're just getting stopped way before they get close to power
Every single US president is at best complicit and at worst directly responsible for various mass deaths, wars, and genocides. You cannot name a US president who didn't commit unforgivable crimes during their term except for maybe Harrison because he died immediately.
I don’t think they pick her because no one in the party actually likes her.
I think that's why they're gonna pick her. The election is already pretty much lost at this point and parading her around gives them like a triple idpol bonus that allows their voter base to cope with the loss by claiming they were too progressive for todays america.
I think there's a shot that Biden gets talked into resigning before January to officially make her the first woman/blasian president so they can go back to feeling good about running white guys.
I don't think anybody needs to be reminded that kamala harris sucks because nobody likes her to begin with. She's dead air in a human suit
This is the consequence of the narrative that Biden was unpopular because he was old, not because his politics suck. I would really be surprised if Kamala, who has the same shitty politics, actually ends up being popular.
