I observed how she was speaking-over what was being communicated, like there was a whole-other barely-related conversation going on instead.

My perception of Biden putting his head down is that I think he 'knew' what she was doing, and would not be given an edge for facts, otherwise.

She "pretended" not to hear the facts--
I noted as she kept the conversation at a 'child's' level of understanding, while she escalated an "emotional" override. It was lending to the manipulation of public-perception of the situation, at the expense of an 'adult' colleague and noted-peer. There was no room for "adult reasoning" at that point?

Honestly, I personally have qualms over whether I'd comfortably cast my vote for Kamala Harris, were she to get the Dem's nomination at this point. I'm looking for higher standards in an elected-official.

My decision-against would be based on what I saw-- based on 'character' (right now).

It would be well, if she managed an "apology" somehow, to the supporters that she inadvertently hurt, by what she did.

There were a variety of OTHER ways she could have devised, in order to introduce her important agenda, without the ploy of a ruthless attack.

Gently, I felt that was 'cowardly' -

I was a high school student during those bussing racial-issues times.

"Race riots" were going on within 10 miles of my home. I remember. My father was in the Nat.Guards, and was called to duty, as part of military control and peacekeeping efforts, to limit the damage.

Experientially, I know what Joe Biden was talking about when it came to arguments made by adult parents in response to forced-bussing, from 'both' (color) sides of the issue.

As much as I've personally proactively supported the African/Black Community throughout my lifetime -- I was sadly turned-off by what Kamala did.

She is a well-educated professional, experienced, Intelligent Woman.
Would expect that such a candidate would run an 'honorable' race, and Go Higher towards innovating more harmonic resolutions for all people involved.

Something I feel needs 'more' attention also, is the fact that Caucasians fought for Civil Rights, and STILL very strongly do.

The human blood, and the tears that have been shed, were not "exclusive" to the pain felt by group of people-of-color.

May God's Blessing be on the election,
and Best Dem Candidate be selected.

There are a LOT of changes going on in this world in a broad way right now.

Maybe it's because I'm an older person and lived during a time where people valued compromise and diplomacy?.. at least, in the worlds I was exposed to. There was a gentility.

Today, I thought about this thread, and the information provided.

Politics seem (at least to me) much more hostile and aggressive than I've ever seen or experienced it to be.

Maybe it will take a very aggressive hostility with an ability to 'pivot' truths, in order to "win"?

Politics right now is really really not to my custom. "Discussions" and finding the best out of both political conversations "used" to be norm. Debates were vigorous but friendly outside of the matters.

It's a blood-sport anymore? No rules.

Well.. I'll retire this part of my participation. Thanks for your input. I have to change the way I approach politics now.

Bottom line? Kamala has the "fierceness" to be in a match-up to your candidate's emotional "style" of communication. With her experience in working with deciding juries in Criminal Law settings, in a debate, thought and language-wise, she would crush him!

Where's any truth in Joe 'Plugs' O'Biden's statement that Russia wouldn't have gotten away with interfering with America's elections under the Obama/O'Biden Administration?

Obama and O'Biden WERE PRESIDEDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT when Russia allegedly interfered in the 2016 election!

Blatant lying for political reasons and utterly stupid since everyone knows Obama/O'Biden were in office WHEN RUSSIA ALLEGEDLY INTERFERED IN THE 2016 ELECTION.

Where's the truth in AOC's statement that the July 4th 2019 celebration of America was poorly attended?

Any fool can look at the photos of the event and see the entire mall, from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Memorial was jam packed to overflowing.

though she is now project as a progressive the fact is she was on the side of the police in all important cases with D.A.
it doesn't surprise me trump contributed to her ,because he is of his same ilk(NWO puppet.)

I commented on her on the Ghost of San Francisco thread
https://www.astrologyweekly.com/foru...t=82603&page=3

when she was DA, a woman the police evidence room was found taking cocaine . this woman said that it was no big deal because everyone knew about it. I quite agree, the police department is among the many distributors of cia/mossad cocaine in san Francisco.
this woman was busted in san mateo 2 weeks later.... for cocaine possession but MS Harris said that arrest had nothing to do with her bust in san Francisco. for that matter the sf chronicle did not even mention the san mateo bust was for drugs.
I followed this story and nothing was ever reported again on this.
total coverup to hide the mossad drug dealing and the intent to make the US a narco democracy. so kamala is on the side of the drug dealing/pedophiliacs to begin with.

this article is one of many that have appeared recently and it is a con job just as Obama ben Kenya was a con job.

the reason Obama ben kenya was placed in the oval office was so that the African countries would not object for the US military establishing a military command in Africa. there was a US military command center on every continent except Africa before Obama. what African nation would say no to Obama ben Kenya when he established a military command in Africa. has anyone noticed how much the UIS military is now involved in the making war on the African continent since the African military command was created under Obama ben Kenya????

and once again a black American is being taunted for the presidency. I am not racists but this is a rehash of the Obama election. being the first black president .. he could walk on water. and before he did anything he was given the nobel peace prize even though he mentioned the word WAR 47 times and motioned the Word peace 20 times. and of course he escalated the war in Afghanistan instead of ending as among his other lies.
kamala is being pushed because as mentioned , she is a pawn of the mossad/israeli drug dealer who are out to make this a actual narco divorcee instead of the current de facto narco democracy we already have.rahu)

The Truths We Hold: An American Journey by Senator Kamala Harris

U.S. President Kamala Harris; the first woman President of the United States of America? 2020?
By
Johnny Punish -

Last night, U.S. Senator Kamala Harris appeared on the Stephen Colbert Show. She did NOT yet declare herself running for U.S. President in 2020 saying “She might run” but it’s clear that her new book was written to give her the foundation and start that most politicians need to get their first messages out to the national public.
From California where she is a well known entity, nationally, Senator Harris is not yet fully known. The the national public is just getting to know her.

Will she run?
Can she win?
What are her principles?
Where does she stand on the issues and with which groups of lobbies and other entities influence her decisions and career?
Will she be the first woman President of the United States?
Lots of questions and we’re about to find the answers.

This new book if from one of America’s most inspiring political leaders, It is a book about the core truths that unite us and the long struggle to discern what those truths are and how best to act upon them.
Senator Kamala Harris’s commitment to speaking truth is informed by her upbringing. The daughter of immigrants, she was raised in an Oakland, California community that cared deeply about social justice; her parents–an esteemed economist from Jamaica and an admired cancer researcher from India–met as activists in the civil rights movement when they were graduate students at Berkeley.

Growing up, Harris herself never hid her passion for justice, and when she became a prosecutor out of law school, a deputy district attorney, she quickly established herself as one of the most innovative change agents in American law enforcement. She progressed rapidly to become the elected District Attorney for San Francisco, and then the chief law enforcement officer of the state of California as a whole.
Known for bringing a voice to the voiceless, she took on the big banks during the foreclosure crisis, winning a historic settlement for California’s working families. Her hallmarks were applying a holistic, data-driven approach to many of California’s thorniest issues, always eschewing stale “tough on crime” rhetoric as presenting a series of false choices.

Neither “tough” nor “soft” but smart on crime became her mantra. Being smart means learning the truths that can make us better as a community, and supporting those truths with all our might. That has been the pole star that guided Harris to a transformational career as the top law enforcement official in California, and it is guiding her now as a transformational United States Senator, grappling with an array of complex issues that affect her state, our country, and the world, from health care and the new economy to immigration, national security, the opioid crisis, and accelerating inequality.
By reckoning with the big challenges we face together, drawing on the hard-won wisdom and insight from her own career and the work of those who have most inspired her, Kamala Harris offers in THE TRUTHS WE HOLD a master class in problem solving, in crisis management, and leadership in challenging times.
Through the arc of her own life, on into the great work of our day, she communicates a vision of shared struggle, shared purpose, and shared values.
In a book rich in many home truths, not least is that a relatively small number of people work very hard to convince a great many of us that we have less in common than we actually do, but it falls to us to look past them and get on with the good work of living our common truth. When we do, our shared effort will continue to sustain us and this great nation, now and in the years to come.

It only took a few days after Sen. Kamala Harris officially launched her presidential bid for some to run with misogynistic allegations that the California junior senator "slept her way to the top." The allegations were fueled by an open letter her ex boyfriend Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco, wrote about dating Harris in the mid 1990s. When they met, she was a 29-year-old assistant district attorney and he was the 60-year-old speaker of the California State Assembly. Harris ended the relationship short after Brown was inaugurated as mayor in January 1996.
In a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle published Saturday, Brown implied he helped Harris further her career. "Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker," Brown wrote. "And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco. I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians."
But Harris has in the past painted a very different picture of the influence Brown, who she at a point considered a mentor, had in her career. While Brown claims he had a hand at electing her during her first district attorney bid, his role was much more limited. The former mayor donated $500 to the campaign and then had a political consultant raise money for her, even though she had not agreed to the pitch. In fact, Harris was intent in distancing herself from Brown in 2003 and made it clear that as a district attorney she would prosecute him if necessary, as his political career was filled with corruption allegations — which is probably why Brown ended his open letter by bitterly referencing the possibility of being indicted.
"His career is over; I will be alive and kicking for the next 40 years. I do not owe him a thing," she told the San Francisco Chronicle at the time. When asked about being appointed to her part-time roles at the state commissions, she said: "Whether you agree or disagree with the system, I did the work. ... I brought a level of life knowledge and common sense to the jobs. I mean, if you were asked to be on a board that regulated medical care, would you say no?"
It's unlikely voters outside of certain California areas will recognize Brown or care about his relationship with Harris, but that hasn't stopped media outlets from running with salacious headlines that frame the former prosecutor as an opportunist who used sex as a way to launch her political career. A Fox News headline describes the relationship as an "extramarital affair" even though Brown has been separated from his estranged wife Blanche Brown since 1981 — thirteen years before he began dating Harris. Other right-wing outlets described the relationship as a "sex affair" and argued she "slept her way to the top."
It's the same kind of misogynistic thinking that has led critics to accuse several women in President Donald Trump's orbit of having an extramarital relationship with him in exchange for more power, without any evidence. Or that has allowed men like Trump or former President Bill Clinton, notorious philanderers also accused of sexual misconduct, to rise to the highest office of the land without barely any scrutiny of their pasts.
If the allegations of cronyism held water, Harris should be able to explain what happened 25 years ago. But so far it seems like her opponents are more interested in portraying Harris — one of the few women in the Democratic race and a woman of color — as an opportunistic gold digger. That kind of sexist power move should be left behind by now.
Refinery29 reached out to Sen. Kamala Harris' campaign for comment.

USA TODAY Former S.F. Mayor Willie Brown writes about dating Kamala Harris, appointing her to posts

<LI class="Pos(r) D(ib) Pstart(18px) modal-tooltip">

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown addressed his past relationship with Sen. Kamala Harris in a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday and acknowledged giving her appointments that furthered her career.
"Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago," wrote Brown, who said he had "been peppered with calls from the national media about my 'relationship' with Kamala Harris, particularly since it became obvious that she was going to run for president."
Harris' office did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment on Brown's letter to the Chronicle.
Brown was married at the time he and Harris dated, but – because he had been "estranged from his wife" Blanche Brown since 1981, according to People magazine –the relationship was not kept secret. A Sacramento Bee reporter told People that Brown "had a succession of girlfriends" and would "go to a party with his wife on one arm and his girlfriend on the other.”
2020: Harris announces presidential bid on 'Good Morning America'
A 1994 Los Angeles Times report about then-California Assembly Speaker Brown's "rush to hand out patronage jobs" described Harris as Brown's "frequent companion" and said several people referred to her as Brown's girlfriend. That report also cited a column from the Chronicle's Herb Caen that called Harris "the Speaker's new steady." When they met, she was 29 and Brown was 60.
According to Caen, the couple split up in 1995, which "flabbergasted" those "who found Kamala the perfect antidote to whatever playboy tendencies still reside in the mayor-elect's jaunty persona."
Although Brown supported Harris in her successful 2003 run for San Francisco district attorney, she tried to distance herself from him in that race, telling SF Weekly that Brown – whose career was dogged by corruption allegations – was an "albatross hanging around my neck."
"His career is over; I will be alive and kicking for the next 40 years. I do not owe him a thing," she told SF Weekly, vowing, "If there is corruption, it will be prosecuted."
Among the issues that followed Harris from her time with Brown was the allegation of cronyism in his appointment of her to two well-paying posts.
"Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker," Brown wrote Saturday. Brown was the speaker from 1980 to 1995, prior to his stint as San Francisco mayor.
Brown appointed Harris to the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and then to the Medical Assistance Commission – positions that paid her more than $400,000 over five years, according to SF Weekly. Brown also gave Harris a BMW.
"And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco," he said in his Chronicle letter Saturday..
"I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians," he added.
"The difference is that Harris is the only one who, after I helped her, sent word that I would be indicted if I 'so much as jaywalked' while she was D.A.," Brown wrote. "That’s politics for ya."

Harris openly embraced eliminating private insurance, Medicare for all, seizing guns, and other far-left positions that Democratic leadership has spent years saying were really not the goals......AOC and Kamala Harris are pushing the party very aggressively as far to the left as possible as quickly as possible.

Pretty Sure Kamala Harris Scared the Hell Out of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer Last Night

If you didn’t watch last night’s CNN town hall with Kamala Harris, you missed out on a good bit of news. We could put up a series of posts on every extreme left position Harris took and how they would directly impact your freedoms.
In fact, maybe we should (Streiff, Andrea, Brandon, and everyone else write this down for later). But right now, I want to talk about one of my favorite subjects of late: How this impacts Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
I have no doubt that these two watched, or had staffers watch, the town hall with morbid curiosity, and I am even surer that the morbid curiosity turned into abject horror by the end of the night. These two, among a few other older Democrats, have been trying to do the very thing I said might give the Democrats a chance to win in 2020: Keep the Democrats from going too far left in response to Trump.
Pelosi negotiated her way to a challenge-free Speakership (is that a word?) for this term, but she did so with the promise that she would not run for the spot again. She has a very limited time left to keep her party under control, but folks like AOC and Kamala Harris are pushing the party very aggressively as far to the left as possible as quickly as possible.

Democrats have, up until now, played the long game with objectively admirable success. From H.W. Bush to Obama, they succeeded in inching along slowly, pushing the starting point for debate further and further left. Conservatives in Congress have, over time, felt safer in starting their negotiations nearer to the middle, and conservative voters have pulled their hair out in frustration over it.
The long game had worked… and then Trump happened.
Trump is an anomaly. He is still relatively unexplained. He shifted the narratives to the right, and while we argue over what is right and wrong about the way he does things, tax reform, judicial picks, and regulatory rollback have had a big impact on the Democrats’ efforts. The response from the Democratic base has been an extremely progressive pushback, and Pelosi and Schumer (along with their allies) have fought to moderate their base’s urges.
It looks like they are losing that fight now that AOC has become a mainstream figure and Harris openly embraced eliminating private insurance, Medicare for all, seizing guns, and other far-left positions that Democratic leadership has spent years saying were really not the goals.
That direct contradiction to the talking points is sure to have them worried at this point and will force them to make a tough choice. They will either continue to fight what’s happening or they can embrace it. But, while they and their allies are considering challenging AOC in primaries, they will find themselves challenge soon as well.

", but her sister, Maya, who was a top policy adviser for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and, before that, the vice president for democracy, rights, and justice at the Ford Foundation and the executive director of the ACLU of Northern California.

After Harris finished speaking in Oakland, her family joined her onstage: her husband, Doug, who is white; her sister, Maya; Maya’s husband, Tony West, who is black (and currently the chief legal officer at Uber, formerly the third lawyer from the top in Obama’s Justice Department"

(she talks progressive but there is nothing about her progressive , I obama she says what people wont to hear but her actions show she is a liar .rahu)

".We have to speak truths, and in speaking those truths, some people are surprised that I’m actually saying that on a stage … So we have to push it.”
“We need to speak truth. If Harris’s campaign has a mantra, that’s it: truth truth truth truth truth

But she had questions about criminal justice. “Some African Americans in my circle of friends have expressed concern about her actually imprisoning a lot of our people, more so than she did the others,” Carter said. “They say they have to really think hard before they’re able to trust her. She’s got to prove that she’s willing to come out and do some things differently.
The article also described her as “maddeningly elusive.
She endured one major scandal, over a rogue tech in her crime lab. The tech stole cocaine and mishandled evidence, which was bad enough. But then Harris, likely thinking she could address the issue quietly, failed to follow procedure and inform the defense lawyers in the cases involved. One thousand cases had to be thrown out
.( in this case the woman who stole the drugs said everyone knows about and no body cares. thisi is true because drug dealing was the central issue of the assassinations of mayor moscone and supervisor Harvey milk, and all city agencies that have separate budgets are laundering the money theyaremaking from drug dealing. thiswoman was busted at her home in sanmateo a week later and kamala harris say that case had nothing to do with the case in san Francisco...a total coverup of the fact the woman was dealing the drugs she stole from the police lockup in her home. rahu)

Harris’s record in that office is marked more by what she didn’t do than what she did. She did not support a ballot initiative reforming California’s three-strikes law, which incarcerated people for life for petty crimes (an interesting family moment, because Maya, while working at the ACLU of Northern California, had championed a proposition to take three strikes down). She did not join the fight against solitary confinement. She did not support two state ballot propositions to end the death penalty (and when a federal court in California struck down the death penalty as unconstitutional, she appealed the decision). She did not support legalizing pot. She did not advocate for reopening several high-profile cases, including a capital one widely suspected to have resulted in a wrongful conviction. She did not prosecute Steven Mnuchin, the CEO of OneWest Bank and Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary, for more than 1,000 foreclosure violations. She did not take an aggressive stance on officer-involved shootings—most notably, she did not endorse a bill requiring independent investigations of them and declined to use the power of the office to investigate the killing of Mario Woods, who was shot 26 times by five police officers in 2015.

As attorney general, she declined to support two ballot measures to end the death penalty. She declined to support making drug possession a misdemeanor. She declined to support legalizing pot. She declined to support a ballot measure reforming California’s brutal three-strikes law. The point is: She had power. She kept most of it in reserve. On the stump, Harris reframes her prosecutorial role:

“My whole life, I’ve only had one client: the people,” which sounds nice coming from the mouth of a public servant. What voter is not for that

Harris’s demographic identity has always been radical. She was San Francisco’s first female district attorney, first black district attorney, first Asian American district attorney. She was then California’s first female attorney general, first black attorney general, first Asian American attorney general. She was the second black woman, ever, to win a seat in the United States Senate. But in office, she’s avoided saying or doing much that could be held against her. Yet when Harris entered a courtroom stating that she was there to argue “for the people,” she was not the voice of the underdog. She was the voice of enforcement, the voice of the law.
Harris has since taken strong progressive positions. But some of her constituents still feel burned. “California has had the most police killings, and we haven’t had any officers ever charged,” Tanya Faison, the lead organizer for Sacramento’s Black Lives Matter chapter, told me. “That was on her watch.” Sure, “it would be beautiful to have a black woman as the president,” Faison continued. But “it doesn’t matter if you’re black or not if your policies are not for black people. And her policies are not supportive of black families.”

Adachi(recently killed in unexplained situation) was “a little surprised,” he said, when Harris aligned herself “with law enforcement and wanting to put people behind bars,” because “we had probably talked about politics before and she was always seen as more of a liberal progressive.
