Mike Beckom for February 26, 2024

I am WAY more scared of a second Trump presidency. And most what Kamala has been maligned on is irrelevant to her ability to be President.

I’m gonna vote for him TWICE! (Yes, Virginia, I do vote in primaries.)

Can’t understand how anyone can vote for a convicted con man like DT (Yes again Virginia, he’s convicted of tax fraud) but apparently some just can’t see the crime. Seems rather cultish to me. Did they even bother looking at the documents?

I asked a Republican friend, “What exactly did Kamala do that is so bad?” There basic answer was, “She exists.” There were policy disputes but that is normal.

Was not that the threat the first time in 2020? Did they not say Biden wouldn’t last 6 months? Is this not the same as the recession predictions this cartoonist still claims will happen? Would we rather elect a criminal again instead of some vacuous threat that will likely not happen?

Yes, the corpse voted for Biden but it was fentynel laced Tylenol that got him. Thanks Joe.

Kamala. . . a DEI hire if I ever saw one. Chosen ONLY because of her ideology, gender and skin color.

No one who voted for President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris find VP Harris “scary”. That racist, misogynistic fear belongs solely to the christian conservatives who embrace P01135809.

I will proudly vote for President Biden for the second time. And if we get President Harris, that would be fine.

Mother – Wife – Lawyer – District Attorney – Senator – Vice President, the United States of America would be in good hands.

I have no problem with a possible future President Harris. But I’d rather see her elected to it on her own.

Kamala is Exhibit A of what you get when you hire based upon diversity. She gained no traction when running in 2020 and dropped out early, rejected by her own party.

What does Beckom hate more, that Harris is a woman or that she is Black, or maybe both?

Other than Cheney, can anyone name any action of any Veep when they held that position?

As for Harris, I hear/read these criticisms of her and they seem to boil down to “she cackles”. Whatever that means in terms of her abilities to function as Chief Executive.

REPOST – Apologies, but needs to be posted. Last year I traveled to the UK and toured Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill. Blenheim is the “seat” of the Dukes of Marlborough, situated on 12,000 acres. In 1704 the estate was gifted to John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough, by King William III for his service in the Battle of Blenheim. As I toured the palace and looked out over the estate, I realized that all the people who lived and worked as small farmers on the 12,000 acres were GIFTED by William III to John Churchill. I’d always known this at some level, but visiting the palace and estate made me understand that these people (whoever they were; history has trampled most of them under) were owned by the king and given to John Churchill, who then owned them and their work. They did not own themselves.

Fundamentally, what the American Revolution did was that Americans stopped being the property of kings and dukes and became owned by themselves. To this day (so far), Americans still own themselves. When people own themselves and the products of their choices and work, the USA is what they accomplished together.

Why would any American want to become the property of a man who: 1. toadies to dictators and autocrats, 2. says he will set the DOJ on anyone who ever opposed him, 3. promises to purge federal employees and replace them with his loyalists, 4. has announced he will revoke birthright citizenship, 5. wants to perform mass deportations of Americans (mostly people of color or the “wrong” religion), 6. routinely stiffs workers, 7. insults our allies and breaks our treaties, 8. lies constantly, 9. has cheated on ALL his wives, 10. wants to control who you marry and how many children you have, 11. will dictate what religion you can practice, and 12. wants to suspend the Constitution to block legal proceedings against him?

Why would you send a “billionaire” your money to pay his legal fees? Think hard before you vote.

Republicans have a chance to give us an alternative to Joe Biden, but so far, the primaries are systematically choosing the candidate who sounds like he got lost in 1930s Germany. So Joe Biden / Kamala Harris it is for me.

Is Beckom merely a “grosser” version of Payne?

I realize that the traitor Trump Putin party is fascist so I don’t recommend you vote for the anti freedom party of lying right wingers.

Is it November yet?

Kamala Harris would be perfectly capable should that unfortunate exigency arise.

Doesn’t scare me in the slightest bit. Biden/Harris 2024!

You would prefer Putin as your vice president?

Nope, not scary at all. She’s perfectly capable of stepping in as president. Unlike the last woman nominated for VP, who was an incompetent stunt candidate.

Vote Republican 2024

I don’t get it Mike. Biden makes you froth at the mouth and Harris makes you run in circles screaming. Why wouldn’t I vote for more of that?

So what if Kamala Harris becomes the 47th president ? She’s far more qualified than trump and most republicans these days to hold the highest office in the country. And to think trumpers loved to call people snowflakes when in reality they’re the biggest snowflakes. They even get triggered when they hear the name Taylor Swift

Kamala’s not my favorite Dem, but better than anyone on the other side. If I end up with a President Kamala, that’s far better than Trump, Scott, Ramaswamy, or Haley…

Love the pills on the side!
