Yep. “Dems” are basically illogical, inconsistent and, in the end, a menace to our constitutional democracy. Their standard argument — “shut up, racist, sexist” — is essentially the tactic of totalitarians everywhere.
Harris was just another crusading avenger more interested in convictions than justice. They bring to mind Jake from “Rango” blowing the smoke away from his gun barrel.
For those who may misread the statements, like I did: “In 2015, judges called out her office for defending convictions obtained by local prosecutors who inserted a false confession into the transcript of a police interrogation, lied under oath and withheld crucial evidence from the defense.”
I read the comic to say that she was lying under oath, but she “only” protected those who did. That’s OK, right? /s
OK, Harris is bad. She joins my collection of “not to vote for” possible candidates that was started when Kirsten Gillibrand proudly announced her candidacy. The nerve! The traitor throws a good guy like Al Franken under the bus purely for self grand-standing, and she’s stupid enough to think people have forgotten? Gillibrand, go ahead, waste your time and people’s money and good luck to you, but people remember!
Personally, I think this matters. That’s why parties have primaries. And her record as a prosecutor will influence me to look at other candidates and, most likely not vote for her. Once past the primaries, I’m going to have one “purity test”; the person is not now and never has been a member of the Republican Party, nor a third party shill (Jill) propped up by right wing money and Russian support.
Rall seems to have dipped into conservative hyperbole. Harris would have been disbarred and sent to prison instead of elected to the Senate. Like all desperate conservatives, Rall is trying to demean and disrespect instead of promoting a conservative agenda he supports. (hint: there is none).

Ted, you left out the most important indictment of this witch. She is a WAR CRIMINAL, who along with every single Democrat Senator, votes every time for the bloated criminal war budget. She has major blood on her hands. She’ll make a fine leader of the Empire.

Kamala Harris said the Dems and Repubs were singing Christmas Carols as they put together the bi partisan budget for 2019.
Trump refused to sign it and now we are in chaos with no end in sight.
Trump and Mitch are holding the country hostage.

OK, so what do we do?
I’m serious, what is your proposed solution, who is the Paladin?
Hint for the quiz: AOC is only 29, and the Constitution mandates age 35.

Until we can find a saint of pure progressive values it is better that Trump remain president. That is the message.

Maybe Ted Rall should run for president. Then he might have a candidate pure enough to justify supporting in his cartoons?
