LK Truscott IV should simply be snuffed out.

You do hate the truth.

Nothing new about that.

Evidence of the presence and degree of racial discrimination in the Long Island real estate sales industry.

The kind of stuff that Kid and Ward support, but deny exists.

Kamala Harris has declared that she does not want the Democratic nomination for the presidency, but she is considering the GOP vice presidency.

Still waiting for an explanation how the House impeachment hearings are a sham.  Thanks ...

Er, doesn't seem to be what Kamala meant at all.
Some context helps:

Quote
"Nothing stops a bullet like a job" was the motto of a program called "Jobs, Not Jail" that she was involved with years ago to help ex-gang members gain job skills. So it sounds like it was about violence between gang members, not police violence.

It may not have been what she meant, Bo, but given the place she said it was an HBCU forum on justice, that how she said it did not include the context you are providing is problematic.

I didn't find the speech in question, after admittedly a rather cursory search.   But I assume Harris is aware that police sometimes shoot working folks in their homes for being black.

Anyway, I don't think Harris' campaign is going anywhere.  I find her interesting and smart and tough, but I don't think she's ready for this cycle.  But this is all good experience for her for down the road.  Being senator from CA affords rather good job security, and she can continue to build her profile and hone her political skills, and could be a force in 4 or hopefully 8 years.

Possibly if Biden dropped out, Harris (or Booker) could have surged with black support.  I think that was/has become Kamala's only chance this run.  Blacks don't seem terribly enamored with Warren, Sanders, or Mayor Pete. 

Doesn't seem that Harris' campaign has been been well run.  Strategy seems unclear, and when she got momentum, she couldn't capitalize.

Harris is likely to make some Veep short lists.
Especially paired with a white male.
But would be interesting as hell if Liz tabbed Kamala.

If this becomes a mini-brouhaha, Harris should tout the jobs for gang members program, help them do fundraising and get publicity, discuss her past role with that.  And talk about how job opportunities can help at risk youth get ahead and stay out of jail and the morgue.  Though you wouldn't know it form most media reporting, black people are in favor of jobs and less crime in their neighborhoods.

In other words, Kamala can turn this into an issue that both blacks and whites can support, and tout her early advocacy of such.  Turn it into a positive.  And don't just make it all about her, but tout the specific program.  Maybe advocate seeding such programs nationwide.  Be bold.

I've seen no sign that she can turn it around, even though I grant freely that it could be.

No, they aren't racist - we know because Ward will tell us so, again, asking us to ignore the evidence and claiming there was none. And Kid will suggest we need to give it a rest.

Why would those racists lie or mislead us?!

Should legalize (and regulate) all drugs.
"Gateway drug" problem solved ...

I presume Biden still believes in Drug Prohibition and the War on Users.

Tempest in a teapot.


The HBCU forum was organized by an out side group trying to curry favor with Trump.
