Senator Kamala Harris, after dropping out of the Democratic Primary, positioned herself to appear to be a criminal justice reformer. Federal legalization of marijuana, holy shit! This from someone opposed to that until recently, someone who smoked pot in the past but didn't have a moral problem with people behind bars for doing the same, meaning she's a fucking hypocrite.
Police reform, ending for-profit prisons, she sounds like a Lefty. Joe Biden, teasing us until early August before making his running mate pick, may select Harris, whose background as Attorney General of California and as a District Attorney before then looks like the record of an ambitious Fury, willing to sacrifice the earned freedom of inmates so they could fight forest fires for minimal pay, among other terrible orders.
A cold-hearted piece of shit, but with "rebranding," Kamala Harris emerges as a fighter for justice. She and another failed candidate for President, Cory Booker, seek to come across to voters as balancers of the criminal justice equation. Police officers committing egregious crimes are not dealt with properly and that needs to change. Really, Kamala?
You mean that when you murder someone in broad daylight, with cops standing nearby watching you do it, and citizens videographing the incident, you'd think the murderer, a cop, would be stopped from killing, arrested, prosecuted, incarcerated if found guilty, but in Minneapolis it took a while for Derek Chauvin, the murderer, to be arrested and charged and even longer for the three cops with him to also be arrested for allowing the killing. Sounds like the system is weighted in favor of cops, but you know that, Kamala, you've always overlooked their transgressions, until you began to smell the
Vice Presidency.
George Floyd's torture-murder by a cop is the kind of egregious violent act Kamala Harris objects to, I guess. I can't get into her mind, don't want to, really (I don't like the smell of sulfur), but she's positioning herself as a woman with ideas, big ideas about criminal justice reform, of bringing healing to the nation, Hallelujah.
President Biden, in his second year in office, will demonstrate so clearly his senility during a press conference turned viral, that calls for his resignation resound strongest among Democrats wishing to see a woman, a Black one at that, sitting in the big chair in the funny-shaped room, a former top cop of California in charge of a country so reeking of police state potential as seen in 2020.
We're like Germans waiting for a strong authority figure, order must be restored; now, a Kamala, someone who fucked over the lives of Black people in California, thinking about her oppression of others only when Tulsi Gabbard recited some of her record during a debate.
Hey, it's your record, future Madame President. Be proud of your accomplishments that led you to hold such a high position in a state with the world's fifth largest economy.
Be proud that you wouldn't let people out who had done their time so they could risk their lives fighting forest fires in a state using prison labor instead of actual firefighters. I'm sure someone who's never fought a forest fire is better at it than a professional.
Since the Democrats gave us Biden to put up against Trump, time for a competent woman, a Black woman, to emerge as an attractive vote magnet, someone who will restore decency and civility to the White House, to the job of President. Will she continue Trump's Afghanistan bombing program? Will she do business with Saudi Arabia, help them murder Yemenis? Will she help Israel stomp on Palestinians? Will she continue murderous economic sanctions against Venezuela? Yes to all, I suspect.
She'll be normal, in other words. A typical American politician, someone whose actions and words get people killed.
I first heard of her on The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, a Hollywood man with his own show on MSNBC, married to a Hollywood actress, one of the people behind the political Democratic fantasy TV show, The West Wing. O'Donnell was excited about Harris's Senate campaign. She's going places, doing things, Kamala Harris is a rising star. The kind of person who eats dinners with people willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars for salad and some kind of meat or tofu, no reporters allowed.
George Clooney, a Hillary Clinton supporter in the 2016 campaign, said that a candidate doesn't get influenced by the people at these fundraisers. Yeah, George, you pay $50,000 to meet Hillary Clinton, you get to talk to her, you can pass along whatever info you want, whatever it is you're backing, whatever makes you rich, you know a billionaire who's looking for a candidate who will promote oil drilling off the coast of Virginia, and Hillary Clinton, or Kamala, or anybody, isn't swayed by that money. Fuck off, George Clooney.
Can an oppressor be rebranded as a caring individual? Kamala Harris thinks so, and she's right. In this climate of police violence, of so-called law and order enforcers violating citizens' civil rights every day, on camera and not giving a shit if they're seen destroying the Constitution, it could be seen as the solution to put in charge of the country, after Biden fades away, a woman who has the right look for identity politics, a background in justice, and injustice; someone in fact lacking the capacity to do right by others unless she can personally gain from that (a narcissist). Given then a position of great power, corrupted further by that, a terrible great queen of horror and death.
Yes, with Kamala Harris I believe that's likely, if she reaches that position. Joe Biden may pick someone else. At the last debate, one on one with feckless Senator Sanders, the one where they did the elbow bump, smiling and looking hip for youth, Biden declared he'd pick a woman for his running mate. Sanders wasn't so sure when asked the same stupid question, prompting #MeToo fraud and Biden supporter Alyssa Milano to tweet, "Huh?"
Bernie said the wrong thing, should've answered, "A woman, yes, but who, and with what ideas?"
Personality cults in American politics are inevitable given the long history in this country of fetishizing movie stars. Americans have experienced emotions looking at screens for over a century. Politicians, though most of them lack the beauty and handsomeness of film and TV celebrities, nevertheless command respect merely by being seen.
"Oh, I saw him on television!"
Thus, Trump's power, his immense visibility. Kamala's, too, and she also happens to be one of the best-looking politicians. That was one of Sarah Palin's advantages. Those glasses, that pretty hair, the firecracker personality, her spotlighted brood with Addams Family-like names: Track, Trig, Bristol, Willow, Piper. I felt sorry for those kids, not Track as much because he was an adult by 2008; but I feel sorry for all children whose privacy gets sacrificed by a parent willing to be financed by millionaires and billionaires, the last of the contender's soul lost in that process, bought by selfish destroyers with tons of money seeking to add another battery to their power walls.
Kamala, Joe, Donald, Michael Pence, all lost their souls a long time ago, not giving a shit about that because power, as a soulless person named Henry Kissinger said, "is the ultimate aphrodisiac."
