The bullsheet about McDonalds, it was 1 summer or 2 months, not like having to do it to make rent or pay for school
somehistory says
Yes it was “to earn extra money.” She had enough for necessary things, but was greedy for the “extra.”
“She knows what it’s like to be poor.” that is something anyone can know just by looking at the homeless on the street, dirty, ragged and begging for change.
That’s about all she knows about being “poor.” And even if she knows, she doesn’t care about the poor.

The Democrat Party. This century’s and this country’s version of the CPSU
NieNie says
* CC CPSU (I had to it look up to remember that abbreviation)
Central
Committee for the
Communist
Party of the
Soviet
Union
࿗Infidel࿘ says
My apologies, I should have spelt it out. CPSU stands for Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and all the Soviet Leaders were leaders due to being some top official of the Communist Party. For instance, the head honchos of the Soviet Union – from Lenin to Gorbachev – were all “Chairmen of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet”. Other top officials had some grand sounding title in the Supreme Soviet. In 1991, after President Yeltsin banned it following the attempted putsch
The CPC has an identical structure. President Xi, for instance, is the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party. Also, China doesn’t officially have an army: the PLA is the official militia of the CPC, not the People’s Republic. To know who’s in power, one has to know who’s who in the political party in question. And since they are one party states, to climb to power, one has to work one’s way up in that party itself, irrespective of what one believes
That is what today’s American Democrat Party is trying to be. They want permanent one party rule, which is why they’re trying to smuggle in as many voters as possible. If they pull it off, Obama can be a de-facto president for life, w/o actually having to demean himself by moving into the White House, which his husband supposedly loathes. In fact, given that the ostensibly free press is openly allied w/ the Democrat Party, they have something that the above 2 communist parties would really envy
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Correction: Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet was the official title of the Soviet President. Whereas General Secretary of the CPSU was the de facto head honcho of the Soviet Union
somehistory says
Just a lot of empty words, which if all put together, add up to ego and the pursuit of power.
And the word “joy” was uttered and heard a lot by these power-mad creeps. But Joy comes from God’s Holy Spirit, along with eight other strengths, none of which does the hyena possess.
All of the speeches and comments by and about the hyena make up one huge word salad.
And white they were all speaking emptiness, the usual Chicago murders were happening on the streets.
Westman says
A Peter Sellers movie, “Being There”, presciently foretold this moment when someone completely incompetent to be POTUS, would be put forward as the candidate. Kamala is our Chauncey the gardener.
Harris’ nomination is a testament of how far a person with an excellent memory and poor logic can rise in a social and DEI system, not as a true leader, rather as its mascot. Perhaps Jeff Dunham will dare to create a puppet to represent Kamala, it would be fitting. Like the current POTUS she would be just an auxiliary to the unknowns and knowns actually making the important decisions. Expect the continuation of wars.
Perhaps the strangest observation is POC will vote for the mascot knowing she vigorously prosecuted Blacks for marijuana while also vigorously promoting India-Indian heritage. Now Indian-Americans ask, “Why did she abandon us?”
Hugh Fitzgerald says
Kamala Harris felt she had to choose one half of her heritage to emphasize: black or Indian. There are many more black than Indian voters. And she doesn’t want anyone having the bad taste to point out that she doesn’t look black at all. That would never do.
Westman says
Anything to get power. Even Obama thought, after knowing he had the white vote, he still needed to denigrate his white grandmother with, “..woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.”, to authenticate Black victimhood for the Black vote. The poor woman died 2 days before he became POTUS. Though he made superlative accolades of her support and caring, being the central factor in his success, she died with an unnecessary welt from his tongue.
somehistory says
bo is an ingrate. A liar and so much more. He probably feels the same as Jesse Jackson, but would never admit to it.
Jackson said:
: ““There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps… then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”
Westman says
Wow, I never heard that quote before, Somehistory.
I imagine there are many Black religious leaders who feel the same. Decades ago, I made a number of friends among Black work associates in Chicago who are great examples of citizenship and moral family life. Now I read of the weekly shootings, etc, and wonder if they are safe.

When I lived in Silicon Valley, I had no idea that she was Indian at all: although Kamala is an Indian name, I thought that it might also be African, such as Letitia, Tessa, et al. Since she moved around in the circles that Willie Brown drew for her, that’s what I saw her as. It was only after she became Biden’s VP candidate that I found out that her mother was Tamil
Don Lemon was right about her: she’s not African-American, although she may qualify as “Black”, even if she doesn’t look it. Neither of her recent ancestors came from Africa, and what’s worse, the label “Black” leaves people w/ the impression that she’s descended from slaves brought to America. When in fact someone from her father’s side was a slave owner, to boot!
Anyway, she’s an embarrassment. I can understand Joe’s basement strategy, given that he’s had 2 brain aneurysms. What’s her excuse? Now she’s demanding that in the debate, she be allowed to take her cheat sheets, and she wants both mics unmuted at all times, so that if President Trump steps on it while she’s speaking, it creates another negative impression of him, and increases his unfavoribility amongst voters who are still undecided
I predict that she’ll probably do as badly as Joe did, even though in 2020, she held her own against Mike Pence. Only this time, the Dems will have no way to remove her the way they did Joe, since she’s done another thing Joe did really well: select a VP who’s as bad as her
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Do they? I have seen Indians eager to claim anybody of Indian descent as Indian – be it Ramaswamy, Sunak, Kash Patel, Priti Patel, Ro Khanna, et al. But they absolutely clam up when it comes to Kamala. Maybe it’s gems such as “Ukraine is a country in Europe, Russia is another country in Europe, Russia is a bigger country who attacked Ukraine and that is wrong…..”
Donna says
Hey Westman!
Being There is a great movie! I agree with you, being in the right place at the right time doesn’t make the person qualified. It only proves the elites are idiots!

Actually, she stopped cackling ever since Biden stepped down from the race, if not earlier. I think her handlers made it clear to her that if she wants that top post, the cackles need to go

In the wonderful story by Hermann Hesse called Siddhartha a female comes into the story named Kamala and she is what would be known today as a High Class Call Girl and she is bewitching to say the least.
Read the book as its very interesting why her parents called her that name as she became what the character in the book was.
