I agree wholeheartedly. Since the 1980s, I've watched the political center constantly get pulled to the right because the left kept surrendering their ideals "in the spirit of compromise." Now the right is full on fascist.

These petulant asswipes actually suggested that she slept her way to the top. They always have an excuse, and it's always stupid and childish. I don't like Kamala Harris' laugh. Joe Biden said Egypt instead of Mexico. Barack Obama wore a tan suit. Hillary Clinton's violence is too shrill.

I think it was her lack of experience. She was the Vice-president? Yeah but before that. She was a Senator? She must have been soft on crime. She was the district attorney of CA? She's probably antisemitic. Her husband's Jewish? Must have been the price of eggs.

For decades republicans haven't been elected on their merits but with the backing of their billionaire masters, and their willingness to do and say anything. They ran for office to seize power, not to govern. And our once trusted sources for the news do nothing now but try to influence us.

“Emergency” is a word w/meaning that should be justified by facts. FBI data suggests that Memphis, Cleveland,Toledo & Little Rock have higher crime rates. The media would do well to interrogate the basis for the exercise of emergency powers rather than “residents say crime really is bad” stories.
