Democratic Nominee in 2020

Quote: Gandler

Your talking about the guy she dated after he was separated for for years , and was only not divorced because of legal stalemate?

"These narratives are misleading by way of exaggeration. Harris dated Brown in the mid-1990s, but Brown had been estranged from his wife since 1981. Brown did appoint Harris to two political posts in 1994 while he served as Speaker of the California Assembly, but that was years before Harris won her first election in 2003. She was already working as an assistant district attorney in Alameda County when she took on the appointments."


The assumption that she was using her body to advance her career is just sexist... She was very sucseful, and like many probably dated people she tended to be around....

I would say cheating on your wife with a foreign national is far worse. If Trump was not President, that alone would be disqualifying for a security clearance (luckily for him President's don't need a security clearance), not to mention about a dozen other issues that anyone on their own would probably disqualify him, combined it would be laughable to think that he has a chance. I honestly would bet Trump could not pass the personal conduct background screening to work at some rural police department in the middle of nowhere... (In any case he would fail the physcial because of his bone spurs).....


As for she used to smoke pot? And she prosecuted people while being a prosecutor (as she was obligated to do)? Oh no.....
What matters is what she is doing now for Mairjana reform, and the answer is a lot (especially compared to Trump). She was to end the prohibition on marijuana and wipe out marijuana convictions....

So she got her gig because she was the girlfriend of the boss.

Got it!

Sure there is nothing to the story.

"Kamala Harris’ first significant political role was an appointment by her powerful then-boyfriend Willie Brown, three decades her senior, to a California medical board that has been criticized as a landing spot for patronage jobs and kickbacks."

An appointment to by her 30 years older 'boy friend' to a patronage job. Nothing wrong with that.

Quote: Gandler

Total nonstory. He was not legally divorced, but separated for over 10 years.... She was not not encouraging him to cheat.... In any case its ironic that Trumpians suddenly care about cheating on their spouse....

I guess the idea that "real men cheat" only applies to male Republicans? (in any case it does not apply in this case because she did not cheat).

Quote: kenarman

Did I even mention cheating in my post. She sleeps with somebody 30 years older with enough juice to get her a job that is a stepping stone to politics, that is the story.

If a conservative says "2+2=4", this libbie's response would be: "Do you have any proof?"

LOL........... 🤣🤣🤣

Haven't you read the book? In the libbies Brave New World 2+2=5 not 4.

There does not appear to be anything wrong with it. Was she illegally appointed? Was she unqualified?

From Brown:

"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.

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."

This is a total nothing burger that Trumpians are obsessing over to cover his frequent sexual misconduct.

Quote: kenarman

I am amazed you can't see the inherent problem in that scenario. That verges on the illegal. I wonder if he slept with all the other women he named?

Quote: Gandler

Trump's whole existence "verges on the illegal" so that does not concern me if you are talking comparisons.....
