Kamala picks a fight with the Gold Star Families of Abbey Gate -- and they respond.

Before today, the Abbey Gate Gold Star families hadn't spoken out against Kamala Harris. You could feel that there was an unspoken boundary put in place, and all Harris had to do was keep her mouth shut.

She just couldn't do it, and now she'll reap the whirlwind.

Truly a monumental error of Kamala Harris and her media handmaidens to lambast the Gold Star families inviting Trump to Arlington. They are righteously enraged at her caring more about their invite than their dead children.

Gold Star families slam Kamala Harris for 'playing politics' over Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery

As reported by - you guessed it - Fox News. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gold-s ... l-cemetery

What's more interesting than the Yahoo reposting is the comments that follow it - pretty much all excoriating Trump.

ps Harris didn't pick a fight with the families. They are being used by Trump as his useful idiots.

It does appear that as each day passes, our Dec is getting his panties in a right proper bunch.

You are correct in that the best thing for Harris to do, to improve her election chances is, to keep her month shut for most of the next 2 months, especially on issues that she does not understand or matters that she cannot comprehend.

I see that Vivek Ramaswamy has come out and indicated that Kamala Harris has a low IQ and he should know. He is a smart cookie and should have been the VP pick.

It is interesting that this lady with a low IQ was able to pass the California bar exam on her first attempt. So much for smart cookies, Pipoz, try hardtack. The statement by the Republican published in the Times of India seems to be ridiculous, wouldn't you say?

Perhaps you prefer hearing Trump speak his truths.

ODD NEWS
Trump has made campaign donations to Harris
The president made two donations to Harris' California attorney general re-election campaign. The first was in 2011, when Trump donated $5,000. In 2013, Trump sent the Harris campaign $1,000. Meanwhile, in 2014, his daughter Ivanka — now a top White House aide — donated $2,000 to the then-state attorney general.

Odd indeed. I think js has already mentioned "Scrounging-for-Scandals" in another thread. The media seems to be on a barrel-scrape when it comes to newsworthy news about either candidate.

Sorry but I beg to differ and no I did not refer to Trump in my post. I am simply giving my view of Kamala. You can try and distort that view, by bringing Trump into the equation / argument, as others might do, but it is not about him, it about whether she is fit to be President.

Listen carefully to her responses on issues and I am not talking about the scripted ones on CNN and other Media outlets. It is like she has just been reading QUORA. Likewise passing the California Bar exam does not necessarily equate to having a high IQ, nor give one the expertise to be the President of the United States. There are plenty of average qualified Lawyers.

If you are fan of Kamala Harris then fine that that is your right, but personally, from watching some of the speeches' and interviews, I think she will be a disaster for the Country.

I have no bias either way, as I am from the USA, but I had hoped that by now the USA would have got around to selecting candidates that were worthwhile holding the position of President of the United States of America.

The Democrats had an opportunity to put forward a real Presidential Candidate, someone who could lead like some of those in the 1900's, be seen as relevant in the World and in doing so trounce this election in November and they blew it with going for her. Should Kamala Harris win in November 2024 (and she may well do so) she will still be a disaster as a President for the next 4 years.

Now, on the other hand Vivek Ramaswamy is quite intelligent and at 39 he has demonstrated that along with an ability to build something from nothing, shortly after finishing his stint at YALE . He has become successful in a relatively short space of time in pharmaceutical and finance etc.

Pray tell, what exactly has Kamala achieved in the past 35 years, other than crawling up through the Public Service and or Political systems. What exactly are her achievement and or skills.

Oh dear....!

Promotion of conspiracy theories

In Republican primary debates and campaign appearances, Ramaswamy often repeated and promoted an array of right-wing conspiracy theories[118][119] and falsehoods.[120] In the days after the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, he condemned the attack, but argued that social media bans on Trump violate the First Amendment.[20][121] Later, while running for president, Ramaswamy repeatedly claimed that the January 6 attack "was an inside job", a claim supported by no evidence and refuted by numerous investigations.[118][122] He also asserted that "big tech" stole the 2020 election and that the "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory was "the Democratic Party's platform".[118] Invoking September 11 conspiracy theories, he asked whether "federal agents were on the planes" that hit the Twin Towers during the September 11 attacks.[123][124][125] When asked about some of his past remarks, Ramaswamy frequently denied making the comments or claimed to have been misquoted, even when those denials were belied by recordings, transcripts, or extracts from his writing.[120]

But I would love to have seen him as Trump's VP pick - it would have ensured an even bigger EC majority for Harris.

Not that it was ever going to happen, given he has the wrong colour skin for a large section of the MAGA cultists.
