This a beautiful biographic celebration of the next and first Indian president. Thank you CNN.


And thank you Sacramento Bee:

Just because they called her Indian doesn’t mean she can’t also have been black. She mixed, so they spotlighted the Indian part because she was the first, and didn’t mention the black part, but it’s still relevant. 

She’s half and half, that doesn’t mean she was switching.

You need full if you want to make ganache.

I suppose she can be anything you want her to be. Isn't there an oldest profession like that?

There's an oldest candidate, he'd be the senile one in rapid cognitive decline that says things like the continental army won the revolutionary war by taking over the airports, the sound of windmills causes cancer, and we should inject bleach to cure Covid.

Don't know much about her tbh but she seems perfectly respectable at a glance. A possible return to normalcy for the US. Unless the incels and other weirdos have their way again.

The wretched hypocrisy of imprisoning people for crimes she committed doesn't rub you the wrong way?

You mean like ordering the “Indian experience” or the “Black experience”?

GP is terrified a woman is going to be President because women are so dismissive of him.

The only woman he’s ever had a relationship with is his mother.

This is what I like to call “The Tulsi Takedown”:


You can see Harris’ shaking her head “Oh, no no no, this isn’t happening, this isn’t happening…”

ah, good memories. The deep state would never let someone like Tulsi have a chance. She was definitely the "no thank you civil war" button the sheeple weren't smart enough to press.

If they didn't threaten arson, abduction, and try to assassinate Trump I really would have considered voting for her.

Oh, on that subject; didn't Harris admit to a crime on public broadcasting? I thought <booming voice> nobody was above the law </booming voice>?

I don’t really mind if she did weed once upon a time; I mind that she acts like she’s still on it. Get that woman a bag of Funyuns, already…

Isn’t Trump a convicted felon?

Wasn’t he found guilty of sexual assault?

Didn’t he try to overturn an election and is facing 2 trials for that along with lying to the FBI and obstructing the return of classified documents?

how so? Kamala is about to be president. I haven't heard anything about Tulsi in quite some time. Her political career is probably over. All she can do now is be trotted out on right wing news shows occasionally before going back into obscurity.

Kamala is peaking too early and she isn’t a known entity while Trump is. The true election season starts after Labor Day. Trump was winning against Biden with minimal spending. He’s sitting on piles and piles of cash to spend on ads. Trump is a known entity. Negative ads don’t hurt him. Kamala tho 🤷‍♂️

Again, what is that supposed to mean? And do you think someone who has a white “bride of Frankenstein” streak in her hair (by choice) is weird.

Of course we are, for us this election isn't Trump vs Biden OR Trump vs Harris, it's Autocracy vs Democracy, Violence vs Civility, Lies vs Truth, and so on. 

You MAGA guys have yourself a personality cult, so you think it's all about a personality, its reality TV politics, just performers acting and all that, conspiracy theories, hateful rhetoric, outrage, and all that Trumpie stuff.  You guys really know how to do weird.

But you see, over here in the real world, where the rest of us live, we care about principles, integrity, policies, preserving democracy, stuff like that, I'm sorry, it's the kind of stuff you personality cult guys wouldn't understand, but to us, it's important. Problem for you guys is there are more of us than there are of you, and the more Trump talks the more of us there are.  He's dug you into a hole and the only thing he knows how to do is keep digging deeper.

It's just too bad you guys formed your personality cult around such a senile old man who's rapidly deteriorating mental state has made him unfit for office...what were you thinking?

That is why you will lose, we do know who Trump is, and the more we learn, the more the opposition grows. The more desperate he gets, the more damage he will inflict on his campaign, his campaign will be self-immolating for the next three months, he'll have his base frothing at the mouth, but it will be the sour grapes anger of losers, again.

The true election season starts after Labor Day. Trump was winning against Biden with minimal spending. He’s sitting on piles and piles of cash to spend on ads. Trump is a known entity. Negative ads don’t hurt him. Kamala tho 🤷‍♂️
The more known the Trump entity is, the more people will vote Kamala.

So you won't have any problem when the Democrats have an open convention allowing registered Democrats to select a candidate?

After all, if Biden can step down for the sake of good, so can Kamala. Such principles of good deserve a proper spokesperson.
