🇺🇸 Fell Out of a Coconut Tree, It's Kamalot: The Kamala Harris Thread

[squeekness]

I’m really nervous about Shapiro being picked.

Seems pretty toxic now to me.

He's anti-choice and so conservative he isn't allowed to be in a room with another woman without his wife, "mother".

Well of course. We should do to her like we did to Biden and push her to promote progressive legislation.

Could Harris Flip a Swing State With Her VP Pick?

The evidence for a running-mate mattering in any state is weak. Harris should pick someone qualified to serve who reinforces her message.

Kamala’s claim of border success is a sociopathic lie — but media abets it

A politician with an ounce of respect for the public might at least acknowledge, before saying anything else, that “mistakes were made.”

Seriously, NY Post? How much did weird old Donny pay you?

The dick measuring contest on Shapiro did more for Pennsylvania than Walz for Minnesota on public schools comments tickled me.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus Will Be “Extra-Involved” In Kamala Harris Campaign, Including DNC Appearance

The star's 'Veep' character Selina Meyer has been likened to the real-life VP turned presidential candidate.

If she comes to the DNC as Selina Meyer...

Speaking of Veep,

Politics has become so much like entertainment that the first thing we do to make sense of the moment is to test it against a sitcom.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court to hear arguments over 2011 death of Philadelphia teacher Ellen Greenberg

Ellen Greenberg died in 2011 - and while it was ruled a suicide, her parents have argued it was not, and want her death certificate changed.

www.cbsnews.com

Oh my God.

She was stabbed 20 something times. Does anyone commit suicide by stabbing themselves 20 times? And one of the pathologists said at least one stab wound was post mortem so I really doubt her ghost came back to stab her body some more. Shapiro isn't a good pick if he believes that.

They built their careers fighting Trump. Now they could face him on the Democratic ticket.

The Democrats who could fill out the national ticket largely rose to greater prominence by defining themselves against Trump during his term as president.

I really hope a would-be Harris administration would get rid of John Kirby and the rest of the idiots advising Biden.

Kirby explains why Biden is considering deploying troops to Middle East

I don’t expect some significant shift but show these jokers the door.

It annoys me at the lack of actual news or leaks about who she chose!

Do they know who killed her? Tell me it wasn't Shapiro himself.....

Do they know who killed her? Tell me it wasn't Shapiro himself.....

Usually the first person they look at is the significant other they live with. In this case, the fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, his family has donated to Shapiro and at least one of them went to school with him.

 

[Lily Adler]

How is this not getting more coverage?

I don't know but Magnar makes a good point, and a good motive to why it was ruled suicide.
