The Kamala thread.

How many people do you actually know that are excited about her? How much campaign stuff have you seen in your area popping up? Bumper stickers, yard signs, etc. The media hype and whatnot is certainly there, I just don't think that's carrying over into the real world anywhere near as much as they want you to believe.

Look at all the retards here that are buying into the hype. Weak minded people are easy to fool...

Fwiw I don't necessarily think you're wrong, you're probably just as likely to be right as I am. I'm just choosing to come at this from the more positive side because either way all we can really do is speculate. I do hope you're wrong though and not just because I like being right. :laughing:

Hunter's Laptop Strikes Again: Reveals Possible Harris Campaign Finance Chicanery​

On Wednesday, in an exclusive New York Post story, scribe Josh Christenson presented another revelation of shenanigans courtesy of Hunter Biden's laptop. These revelations involve the passing back and forth of campaign email lists, particularly between the 2015-2016 campaign apparatuses of Kamala Harris and Beau Biden. It's a bit convoluted, but we'll try to unpack it all.


Allies of Joe Biden were skeptical that Kamala Harris was “ready” for the national spotlight during her 2016 US Senate campaign — but were apparently happy to hand over donor lists and even offer her a board seat with the Beau Biden Foundation after her camp dangled a $1,000 contribution, emails on first son Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop show.
If completed, the convoluted transaction flouted the Foundation’s tax-exempt status and may have violated federal election law, experts told The Post this week.
Allies of Harris, then California’s attorney general, contacted Josh Alcorn, Beau Biden’s top political and fundraising adviser, with an unusual request in late 2015 — months after the former Delaware attorney general died of brain cancer.

One would think any request aimed at the "top political and fundraising adviser" to a dead man to be a tad unusual in and of itself, but it seems the Harris campaign was seeking lists of donor email addresses. And they were willing to pay for those lists, which is interesting because that sets a market value for said list.

“Just an FYI – Kamala Harris’s campaign reached out. They’d like to pay us about $1,000 for access to the email list,” Alcorn wrote in a December 30 email to Hunter and Hallie Biden, Beau’s widow.
The money would go to the [Beau Biden] campaign, then be transferred to the foundation,” explained Alcorn, who ran the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children from January 2016 to June 2021, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Now, here's the onion:

Three former members of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) told The Post that donor list swaps are common and legal among campaigns, as long as each pays fair market rate.
But funneling the Harris payment to the foundation in exchange for the donor list — after the Biden family made clear months earlier that Beau’s campaign funds would be donated to the foundation — would have been a different matter.
“Charitable organizations are not supposed to be involved in transactions with partisan campaign committees,” said Michael Toner, who served as FEC chairman in 2006 and as a commissioner between 2002 and 2007.

t Sure Looks Like Kamala Harris Made Up Her Hard Knock Tale of Working at McDonald's​

Did Kamala Harris ever work at McDonald's and if so, did the job help her "put herself through college?" Those might not seem like important questions on the surface, but when you consider the Democrat presidential nominee has been using the claim to fluff her supposedly hard-knock background, the truth of the matter becomes just a bit more relevant.


That's especially true given Harris' running mate, Tim Walz, has been caught in a litany of lies, including stealing valor about carrying weapons in war. Here's how the Harris campaign has been describing the supposed stint at McDonald's.

Early this month, Harris’s campaign said she used her McDonald’s wages to pay for college. "Vice President Harris is the daughter of a working mother and worked at a McDonald’s to put herself through college," campaign spokeswoman Lauren Hitt said this month. A pro-Harris super PAC ad said she "work[ed] her way through school at McDonald’s." And former president Bill Clinton, at the Democratic National Convention, joked that "she’ll break my record as president who has spent the most time at McDonald’s."

According to Harris, she "did fries" before moving over to work as a cashier, and that's just the first part of the tale that doesn't necessarily add up. The behind-the-counter dynamic at McDonald's doesn't typically have a specific person only cooking fries. With that said, it's at least possible she labored at a unique McDonald's that had her only cooking fries before moving over to be a cashier.



What's less believable is that this harrowing story of a working-class woman having to pay her way through college by salting fries was only worth mentioning when she began to run for president.


For decades, Harris never mentioned it, not on the campaign trail nor in two books. It’s absent from a job application and résumé she submitted a year after she graduated from college. Third-party biographers did not write about it. Not until Harris ran for president in 2019 and spoke to a labor rally in Las Vegas did she mention the job, telling the crowd that she "was a student when I was working in a McDonald’s."

It would seem odd for Harris to never mention this detail about her life story until she was in her mid-50s. She wrote multiple books, and none of them included her working at McDonald's. The multiple biographers who profiled her apparently never knew about it either. Only when it became politically convenient did Harris start making the claim.

Then there's her post-college resume, which never mentions any job at McDonald's. In the same document, she mentioned fairly irrelevant details about her travel to Africa and India.

The Free Beacon also obtained a copy of Harris’s October 1987 job application for a law clerk position in the Alameda County district attorney’s office. On that form, Harris, who was in law school at the time, listed several jobs—including a month-long clerical job at a stock brokerage—in a section that asked her to list every position she held in the last 10 years. McDonald’s is absent.

Further, McDonald's has not responded to multiple requests for comment on confirming her employment. As the Free Beacon notes, that's a marked change from how fast-food chains have previously acknowledged presidential candidates who once worked for them.


Here's the thing. This wouldn't have mattered had the Harris campaign not decided to use the claim as a political pressure point against her opponent. The moment she and her handlers decided to do that, whether she was lying or not became a question that should be answered.

Taking all these strands one by one, they aren't individually damning, but when you put them all together, it seems more and more likely she made up the claim for political gain. Lastly, this would be really easy to solve. All Harris has to do is tell us what restaurant she worked at, and it would take various investigative journalists a few hours to confirm her story. She won't, though, and I think we all know why.

For the record, I'm not necessarily saying Kamala is going to win. She's just far more likely to win than Biden was. Biden basically had zero chance. I think it's probably 50/50 with Kamala. As terrifying as that is.
 
Quote from the show: "I did. Yes, I did work at McDonald’s," laughed Harris. "When I was at school … I did fries. And then I did the cashier."

She never said she worked FOR McD's. She said she worked AT McDs.

She was fucking the staff for profit.

Hate to say this but...... I prefer Biden to that retarded bitch. Even as senile as he is he is still far smarter than she will ever be.

Let that sink in for a minute
 
I'm hoping that the partially stupid realize that voting for Harris is a sure way to guarantee that their retirement savings all but disappears without a trace and that they will have to work until the day they drop dead.

Edit: There is no saving the fully stupid. They won't figure it out until it's happening and even then will just scream "ITS NOT FAIR!!!!!!" and do nothing else about it.

Sort of same. Biden I think the gap was going to be so big there was zero chance of rigging the election plausibly. Hell I think if he'd won you might see some shit that makes them regret every calling Jan 6 an insurrection.

I think Kamala narrows the gap in theory, but I don't know, my gut tells me people just aren't going to vote for her once the ballot is in front of them if they vote at all. I expect she'll get record low turn out amongst black and hispanic voters. I just don't see any enthusiasm or hype for her anywhere outside the MSM and it's not like I live in some Red state bubble. I live in a city with one of the biggest liberal arts schools in the country that's majority black and hasn't voted for a Republican but once in more than a century. The libs around here never shut the fuck up about politics but no one wants to talk about her or the Presidential election. Drive around and there's plenty of yard signs out there for state and local candidates but there's not a damn thing out there for her. Most I've seen is a couple leftover Biden signs that people put duct tape over the Biden part of. Not that that's some smoking gun but I do think that's fairly indicative of how people feel right now. I also think since the assassination attempt the whole rhetoric about saving democracy has really fallen off and it was fading anyway. They've really overplayed all the orange man bad shit and it's lost it's effectiveness.

Then again people are fucking dumb as shit.

I never saw a Biden banner, flag or bumper sticker in 2020…..
 
So how can anyone with a brain have watched the joke of the interview last night and not see straight thru the facade of this waste of air. Once again, if this is the best we got going to lead the country, we are fucked.
