    Decided to give her a thread...because she deserves one, just like the others.
    She's distinct too, just like them
    And out of respect...she deserves it.

    Just post anything Harris related, that's not election related...or at least more about her.

    You go girl
    Give'em hell. :D:cool:

    Gotta admit, she's got style and knows how to have fun.
    Not a stiff. :cool:

    * can't do the gif here, showing her dancing.

    There are several yellow/pink/red flags on that list,
    but I'll start with neutral one that deserves an (yes, biased) update.

    "I’m dealing with this brutal stuff, dog-eat-dog in school, and then I would come home and we would all stand by the toilet and wave bye to a piece of shit,” Harris recalled in 2018. “It will put this place in perspective.”

    "I’m dealing with this brutal stuff, dog-eat-dog in Washington, and then I ran for POTUS and we all stood by the toilet and waved bye to a piece of shit Trump,” Harris recalled in 2024. “It will put this place in perspective.”

    Hackers rally behind Kamala Harris' presidential campaign

    Now that's an army that can be useful...and not just for their cash.
    They can donate other things...time and mind.
    If only to defend against all the foreign hackers trying to influence the election.

    Or go against the megalithic tech titans who are supporting Chump to keep their taxes and toys (and influence)
    Or deal with cryptocurrency, wat least that which is being used to bribe many politicians. (especially the GOP and Russia, but there's Chump too...and China, the Saudis, NK, etc....)

    It would be ironic if they used their powers for good, and kept the "fight" clean, in comparison to the last decade.
    What a concept! :rolleyes:

    It would be nice to see some of them take out the guys from Russia, China, and Iran who are trying to fuck with our elections.
    We've had some efforts by the hacker collectives to take some of those operations out but nothing concentrated and serious.
    It would be fun to watch that in real time.
    Maybe create a bot that attaches itself to Russian bots and just makes insulting posts every time it posts on social media.

    The Washington Post is pulling
    an old new trick
    letting you read part of the article then
    throwing up the pay wall.

    From the bit I was able to read...yes, people vote with their emotions rather than good sense.

    Here in Texas blue Beto O'Rourke gave red Ted "Cancun" Cruz, the popular incumbent, a good scare when Cruz ran for re-election. Beto, a very smooth public speaker, said nothing of real substance, his speeches were basically verbal butterflies & rainbows.

    Harris definitely needs to keep playing the warm, friendly, & funny cards. It seems to be working against NPD Trump's angry, bitter, & vindictive hand.

    What to know about Kamala Harris’ economic plan

    Now we get to the meat of the matter.
    IRL and less spin, what she's likely going to do when she gets in (IF)

    Remember, she's already got the inside track being in the WH at Biden's side and is well aware and well trained/oriented to all the current issues.
    She'll hit the ground running in January. (can't wait to see the first budget proposal...and depending on if it's Dem wave and who controls the House and Senate)
    Only thing that would be likely blocking her is SCOTUS and conservative activist judges.

    Still it will be nice to get a sense of where she's going with our bread & butter econ issues and concerns.
    And how the industry and Wall Street reacts.

    It's like reading a summary of a big What If plot...but one that can change and go thru rewrites, as reality happens real-time and markets and events change.

    The presidency is NOT for the faint of heart and lazy.
    Smart really helps too. :cool:

    The one I really like is Imposing federal ban on price gouging
    We're getting fee'd to death. :eek::mad:

    Harris Plans to Ban Grocery ‘Price Gouging.’ What Does the Evidence Say?

    People call making a profit capitalism, and
    call political action to control prices socialism.
    Those people complain about inflation.

    Business owners complain about the prices they pay for supplies, while they bump their prices to increase their profits. This can add up (get out of control) with products that go through numerous companies before the final sale.

    An over simplification:
    Business A has a 2% increase in expenses. It adds that 2% to its prices, plus a 2% bump for increased profits. A 4% increase doesn't sound like much until the same thing happens with Business B, Business C, Business D, & Business E. The final consumer would've paid more, but ends up paying much more.

    A related digression (a what??)...
    What's is strange about this is how certain groups view price increases. Firearms enthusiasts complain because now MSRP is more common, and the usual discounts allowed by manufacturers has been decreased. Yet they buy the firearms. I'm talking about discretionary purchases, not necessary purposes. Try telling those people if they stop buying guns they don't need the manufacturers will lower the prices and/or increase the allowed discount, and retailers will lower their prices.

    Exactly. No exaggeration.

    The GOP has been sadly corrupted and is now a cultish shadow of its former self.

    WHY would you put such a person as your head? WTF is in your head!??
    A wannabe tyrant. A con man. A liar always, rarely the truth or on point. A megalomanic. Incompetent slime. Womanizer and rapist. Fraudster. Everything yo momma taught ya not to be...
    Y'all insane to even consider him. Much less, cheer him on.

    At least now Harris, the Dems, and very scared and ashamed classic conservatives who've seen their party fall...are calling him out and THEM out.
    About damn time and almost TOO late.

    Yes. You have to question the sanity of not only Chump, but his cronies, allies, sycophants and the voter fans themselves.
    (oh yeah, even those apolitical VIPs that are cynically using him to gain... WTF are your betting instincts are askew??? He's a BAD bet and you'll be thrown under the bus like all the others)

    This is a topsy-turvy opposite of the symbol of the American flag y'all are ironically wrapping around yourselves.
    Opposite of Everything the legend we teach kids in school of the US. (right or wrong) It's still not the American mantra that we espouse about ourselves.
    A warped Alice In Wonderland scene...and Chump is worse than the Red Queen.
    Y'all are as bad as those card soldiers that catered to her.

    But this is reality. and this is REAL. They've chosen someone that admires Putin, Stalin and Hitler (no joke or exaggeration - a literal admitted truth)
    And worse, he's NOT as smart or competent as those EVIL horrid men.
    How have we gotten here???

    By definition, y'all ARE insane...not knowing right from wrong, good vs bad, or being aware of the consequences of your actions.
    Sure, you pay bills, have jobs, etc. But there's something whacked about your decision making and judgment.
    It doesn't make sense...then again crazy is NOT supposed to make sense.

    Hope y'all get better and your heads on straight, before it's too late. Get well soon. (this is no insult, this is compassion. We want y'all back in the light and thinking bright)

    Vote Harris. Because the alternative is a black hole.
    Don't be crazy.

    But at least the good guys are going to fight the good fight against the bad guys.
    Let's hope for a happy ending.
    A sane one.

    Get the dimwitted magats to see this.

    Get the somewhat smarter Repubs to give up supporting Furor Trump as the leader of their power grab.

    Get the people who generally support the goals of Project 2025 to see that turning the calendar back to 1954 is a really bad idea.

    Can you imagine if Hillary had said the same thing when she was running for president?
    She said there were deplorables in the party, talking about the white supremacists and straight up Nazis who were beginning to peak out.
    That was enough to get her crucified.
    Kamala is saying the clowns are running the circus and the backlash is there but it is pretty minimal.
    There is a tacit understanding that what she is saying... well, it's fucking fact.
    There is a reason that the one insult that seems to be sticking from the left is that the right is just weird.

    More than 200 former Bush, McCain and Romney staffers endorse Harris

    This is some big shit. As Joe Cool/Dark Biden would say.
    A paradigm shift...a zeitgeist.

    Thankfully, they're all speaking up and standing up this time.
    No more catering to a party anymore... (it's not what it was anymore anyway)
    No more being overly PC, professional or loyal.
    The stakes are TOO high.

    Kudos to them for doing the deed.
