This guy did a decent rant regarding Kamala Harris.
~
We will show that President Trump has made a mockery of the Constitution, has lied to you more than 20,000 times and is currently trying to sabotage the Postal Service in a desperate bid to cling to power.
But worse than any of that, he is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans during his willful mismanagement of the pandemic.
The case against him is “open-and-shut,” as your prosecutor said Wednesday, and factually incontrovertible.
✁
Let the record show that she has already called him what he is. “I know predators, and we have a predator living in the White House,” she said last year.
“The thing you must importantly know, predators are cowards.”
So, to the case: Let’s begin with the loss of more than 165,000 lives from Covid-19 in the United States, on Trump’s watch, and maybe as many as 200,000.
Each of them had a story, a life, people they loved and were loved by. Now gone before their time. Their voices cry out from the grave.
You’ve already heard that the United States, with barely 4 percent of the world’s population, has 25 percent of the coronavirus cases.
And that the U.S. leads the world in total number of Covid-19 deaths, with a fatality rate five times as high as the global average.
Remember that the next time the president praises himself.
But just consider a single day, Tuesday, when Joe Biden announced Harris as his pick. Covid-19 took the lives of 1,450 people in the United States on that one day.
For Canada, it was four.
.
Trump owns this failure. We are a pariah nation, shunned and pitied, unable to travel outside our borders, prisoners of his fatal malfeasance.
Some of you have excused this president’s incompetence, his quackery, his buffoonery, his vile character, his consistent insults of women, minorities, the free press, the courts — so long as it was just…✁
(The Borowitz Report) — Pushing back against attempts to brand the United States of 2020 as “Trump’s America,” Donald Trump said that he deserves no blame for the state of the country, because he has not actually done any work for the past four years.
“I could understand people blaming me for things if I had actually been doing my job, but, quite frankly, I haven’t,” he said. “Anybody who claims otherwise is a terrible person.”
“CNN, which is a disgrace, says that it’s the White House’s fault for this and the White House’s fault for that,” he added. “Well, I’ve hardly been at the White House, so, once again, they’re wrong.”
Attempting to answer the question of whose America it is, if not his, Trump said, “The last President who actually worked at the White House was Barack Obama.
So if this is anybody’s America it’s his and Sleepy Joe’s. People are saying that. They’re sick of living in Biden’s America, and we cannot give Joe Biden another four years.”
He rejected any suggestion that, as President, he must own the current conditions in America, asserting, “I know what I own and what I don’t own. I own Bill Barr. I own Mitch McConnell. I don’t own America.”
If we take Trump’s frequent argument at face value, he believes that Democrats embrace violence because they think it hurts him politically.
That is, that Democratic mayors and governors allow people to set buildings on fire because this reflects negatively on Trump.
(We can also stipulate, by the way, that these cities are generally run by Democrats, in large part because most cities are.)
By itself, this also is not a very compelling election pitch: Why wouldn’t Democratic mayors and governors continue to allow this violence if Trump won the presidential election in November?
The assertion being made depends upon the idea that Democratic mayors and governors have control over the situation that Trump doesn’t and that they are sufficiently indifferent to their constituents and their own political careers that they figure a few destroyed business districts are worth it to harm Trump.
If those are the case now, why would they change next year?

Speaking in Pittsburgh on Monday, Biden condemned criminal acts that have occurred: “Rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting. Setting fires is not protesting. None of this is protesting. It’s lawless. It’s plain and simple. And those who do it should be prosecuted.”
In short order, the Trump campaign criticized him for not condemning “the left-wing mobs burning, looting, and terrorizing American cities,” for failing to “condemn Antifa” — a loosely organized group that’s emerged as a favorite boogeyman for Trump — and for not speaking out about other cherry-picked examples of purported pro-crime rhetoric.
This is just bad-faith goalpost-moving, as bad faith as the Trump campaign’s excerpting Biden quoting Trump and presenting them as Biden’s own words.
I can hardly wait to see what traits he makes up about her so that he can mock them. Take that, silly binge drinking of juice boxes! Take this, crazy hat wearing! How do you like that one, constant-stopping-for-selfies?
The sadness here is that, apparently, Scott doesn’t really want to take on Biden – heck, he may end up having to vote for him, heaven forbid (given Scott’s alleged stance as a non-Trumper). But I guess he figures Kamala is fair game (even if she, too, disappoints the alleged socialists that allegedly “run” our party).
Perhaps the problem is, Scott may not like Donald Trump, but he doesn’t see him as an “existential threat,” or at least dangerous enough to finally say, “enough is enough.”

Well, he may not have depicted her as an animal, but I still get the feeling that we’re in for a run of bunny strips.
Trump may be the dumpster, but remember, dems is worser.
So cast your vote for someone you know can’t win.
You know, plausible deniability for having allowed Trump to win.
Once again.

Give Mr Stantis a break drawing chameleons isn’t easy.
There’s a loving in your eyes all the way
And you wear your flip-flops well I must say

Now you believe, you believe Joe
