25 Lies Kamala Harris Told In Her Debate Against Trump - "1. ‘Middle-Class Kid’
2. Trump’s Tax Cuts. Harris falsely insinuated that the 2017 tax cuts approved by the Trump administration disproportionately benefited America’s billionaires and corporations.
3. Trump ‘Sales Tax’
4. Jan. 6
5. Project 2025
6. Just Restoring Roe... Harris pledged to sign legislation such as the ill-named “Women’s Health Protection Act,” which would codify abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. In addition to her history of co-sponsoring the original version of that legislation, Harris also voted against protections for babies born alive after botched abortions.
7. Pro-Life Laws Criminalize Miscarriages, Ectopic Pregnancies
8. Trump’s Abortion Stance
9. Ninth Month Abortions Don’t Exist
10. Border Bill . Harris claimed a congressional border bill proposed earlier this year would have stemmed illegal immigration and fentanyl at the U.S. southern border. That statement is categorically false. The bipartisan measure would have enshrined the existing invasion into federal law.
11. SCOTUS Immunity Ruling
12. Fracking Ban
13. Minnesota Rioters Bail Fund
14. Trump’s Role in J6
15. J6 Deaths
16. ‘Fine People’ Hoax
17. ‘Bloodbath’ Hoax
18. Trump’s NATO Comments
19. Autocrats’ Preferences for President. Harris claimed that the world’s autocratic leaders are pulling for Trump to win. While there is no definitive way for Harris to know this for most leaders, Russian President Vladimir Putin did publicly throw his support behind Harris’ presidential bid last week.
20. Combat Zones
21. Blaming Trump for Biden’s Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal
22. Gun Confiscation
23. Trump’s Foreign Policy Record
24. Defunding the Police
25. IVF"

Harris, in 2020, said 'we have to redirect resources' from police - "In the summer of 2020, shortly after George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer, Harris gave a string of interviews amid nationwide protests calling for police reform in which she at times voiced support for some of the ideas behind the "defund the police" movement, calling for a "reimaging" of policing around the country."
The cope is going to be that this isn't defunding the police so she wasn't lying. Yet, we are repeatedly told that defunding the police doesn't mean removing their funding

ALEX on X - "Tim Walz claims Elon Musk is helping Trump buy an election. FYI, Democrats are outspending Republicans almost 3:1 — That means it's Kamala and Timmy who are trying to buy an election, not President Trump."
Elon Musk on X - "Democrats greatly outspend Republicans, have 90% of legacy media & online media on their side, 90% of Hollywood celebs and a massive number of organizers on the ground. Frankly, it’s surprising that Republicans win at all!"

MAGA memers troll Kamala Harris with #KamalaGropedMe amid Trump allegations

Kamala Harris' possible interview with Joe Rogan is a desperate Hail Mary - "Harris’ handlers have largely restricted her to rallies with teleprompters and crowds of supporters or sitdowns with friendly alt-media types who tee up easy questions with few follow-ups. And no wonder: Every time she goes off-script or is pressed just a bit, she offers up complete gibberish, like her Monday ramble about “constellations” in response to Black Star Network host Roland Martin’s question on crime.  Not to mention her admission on “The View” that she wouldn’t have done anything differently from Joe Biden these last four years. We have to think she and her advisers have decided she’s on course to lose, and decided they have to take some big risks if they’re going to turn the race around.  Maybe they’re looking at grim news from internal polling, when public polls show an essentially tied race, but with trends favoring Trump as we enter the final weeks.  And early voting, which tends to favor Democrats, is down 45% compared to the same point in 2020 — and Trump has a narrow lead among early voters in swing states, according to a recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.   She’s losing support among groups that Democrats have long had locked down, including black men and Hispanics.  Or maybe it’s more accurate to say that Trump is winning over significant numbers of these voters, who are fed up with Harris-Biden’s weak economy, brutal inflation, open borders and out-of-control crime.  After all, Harris’ policies on all these fronts are anything but “turn the page,” no matter how she says she cares deeply on every front (just as Biden did)."

Thread by @LauraPowellEsq on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Kamala Harris was admitted to law school under a program for students “who have experienced major life hurdles, such as educational disadvantage, economic hardship, or disability.”  Kamala Harris’s mother came from the highest caste in India, but by moving to the U.S. and Canada, obtaining a prestigious degree, marrying a future Stanford professor, having a successful career as a cancer researcher, and sending her daughter to private schools, her daughter became unusually disadvantaged?  Strange how that works. In 1992, three years after Kamala graduated from Hastings Law School (a public university), there was a controversy after the dean of the law school realized the extent of student group involvement in admissions to the program for disadvantaged students (called LEOP).  Students who claimed to be eligible for the LEOP because of some special hardship they suffered would have their claims of being disadvantaged verified via a phone call by members of the student organization associated with the applicant’s race. The phone interviews were used by some students to screen out conservative candidates—to avoid future “Clarence Thomases,” as one student explained.  This would have been the process in place when Kamala Harris applied to law school in 1986. According to her resume, she also served as President of the “Black Law Student’s [sic] Association,” so she likely participated in the process of selecting admittees to the LEOP program while she was a law student as well.  While the program was advertised as a class-based affirmative action program—which Kamala Harris wouldn’t have qualified for—in practice it was based on race and politics, during her time. In 2004, Kamala's mother recounted to an LA Times reporter how she was taken aback when an educator didn't realize Kamala came from a privileged background... Several people have mentioned Kamala Harris failed the bar exam the first time she took it. I couldn’t find statistics for 1989, the year she graduated, but a letter to the law school paper in early 1992 says while the overall passage rate for Hastings graduates was 80.2%, only 55% of LEOP students passed. This was a big improvement over the earlier years—in 1977, only 16% of diversity admittees passed on the first try.
I made the reference to caste because this is how Kamala’s own mother has their family’s position in India to a reporter in 2003:  “We are Brahmins, that is the top caste. Please do not confuse this with class, which is only about money. For Brahmins, the bloodline is the most important. My family, named Gopalan, goes back more than 1,000 years.”  I do not claim to have a nuanced understanding of the topic, but “high ranking,” “upper class,” and “top caste” are not phrases you would use to describe the family of someone from an underprivileged background."

Thread by @Aristos_Revenge on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "In light of rumors that Kamala screamed at her campaign manager over the Molly Shannon SNL skit flub during the Al Smith dinner, lets talk a bit about Julie Chavez Rodriguez, manager of the Harris Campaign: 🧵
To start off with, her only interesting quality, and the only reason she's gotten anywhere in life, is that she is latino labor activist Cesar Chavez' granddaughter. The irony of this, is that Chavez' entire struggle was defined by being against illegal migration. You would think that a hispanic woman in such a prominent position would be some foreign born or 1st generation woman who was groomed from adolescence, like the manchurian candidate county judge of Houston, Lina Hidalgo. But Chavez' roots in America are the late 1800's. Cesar Chavez himself was born in Yuma, AZ. And his struggle was one to organize the farmworkers in order to get better conditions in the central valley of California. Ironically, the Okies that came after the dustbowl tried this and were replaced by Mexican and Filipino Americans.  So when Chavez began to organize the largely American born farm laborers, the California growers did what they always did, they imported scabs who would work for less to replace them permanently, in this case "Braceros" (work permit mexicans) and later, illegal immigrants. Cesar Chavez wanted illegals and braceros deported as they drove down wages. His cousin manuel led several UFW members to the border to violently attack illegals who were coming to be strikebreakers. He even reported them to INS (ICE of yesteryear)
Anyway, back to Kamalas campaign manager, Julie. If you're wondering why the campaign seems to be catering purely to their own base in the most clownish and out of touch way possible, it's probably because of Julies nepobaby out of touch resume.
>Attends UC Berkeley and obtains Bachelors of "Science" in "Latin American Studies" in 2001
>Interns with the AFL-CIO and UFWA during the summers
>Graduates and spends the next 8 years as a "program director" at the Cesar Chavez Foundation
>Volunteers for Obama campaign in 2008
>Hired by Obama admin as "Director of Youth Employment" and later Deputy Press Secretary, to the Secretary of the Interior
>2011 to 2016, serves in Obamas "Office of Public Engagement" and later as a Special Assistant to Obama, directly working on outreach to minority/gay groups
She got the boot when Trump came into the WH, and she became the State Director for Kamala Harris when she was a Senator, which is a pretty hard job to fuck up in California, where the entire state apparatus is just the DNC crime syndicate. She then served on Harris' primary campaign in 2020 as her chief of staff and political director, until Biden secured the primary. She then joined Bidens 2020 campaign as director of latino outreach.  Given all the fraud in 2020, that was about as challenging as her CA post.
>Director of White House Intergovernmental Affairs
>Senior advisor to President Biden
>Campaign manager of Biden 2024
Essentially, Julie is a lifelong bureaucrat in the NGO/Political sphere, which doesn't lend itself well to understanding what normal people think, it's a bubble. The Deputy Campaign Manager, Quentin Fulks, is a guy who also has a lifelong activist/political career, which means he is similarly sheltered. He lacks Chavez' family pedigree, but spent his career working with lefty power players like J.B. Pritzker, Raphael Warnock, etc.  Fulks is in charge of the campaigns advertising campaign, which really makes you wonder if this big focus on getting black men to show up to vote for Kamala says something about his own insecurity regarding the camp he's occupying right now. A latina and a black guy who've never worked a real job in their entire lives running the campaign for a pathetically stupid woman who climbed the ladder on her knees, I guess we should count our blessings. The usual crop of psychopathic but competent white lefties must have had better things to do, thank God. And I think this says something about the future of the DNC. They haven't selected for competency, but for ideology. The patronage they have given for over a generation amounts to giving unproductive and unintelligent people makework sinecures and we wonder why they suck.
This is why, as I said the other day regarding Trumps hints at deeply shaving away or completely ending federal income tax, the way that conservative/right wing patronage works is by taking away tax burdens because we are already productive people who don't need welfare. Also, not to go too into depth on Cesar Chavez again, but the problem when he was organizing a trade union was that he needed money to pay his own salary and that of the organization itself. What happened was a sequence of "for pay" projects to register mexican-americans to vote. 50k here, 30k there, Chavez slowly became that which he had hated, a politico controlling a voter bloc to line his own pockets for the DNCs benefit. It's quite the betrayal he experienced that in 1965, dems passed the Hart Celler Act, which is what opened up southern immigration.  These are the dangers of a veto proof majority, Hart-Celler changed the future of America just as much as the Civil Rights Act when it was signed into law, in much more irreperable ways.  Lets go get our own veto proof majority and fix it."

Meme - Ian Miles Cheong @stillgray: "Around a hundred UK Labour politicians are campaigning on behalf of Kamala Harris across battleground states. Isn’t this foreign election interference? Imagine if members of the Russian Duma did this."
Sofia Patel. Head of Operations at The Labour Party: "I have nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few weeks heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia. I have 10 spots available for anyone available to head to the battleground state of North Carolina - we will sort your housing. Email me on labourforkamala@gmail.com if you're interested. Thanks!"

Trump makes legal complaint over Labour’s ‘blatant foreign interference’ in US election - "It comes after Labour Party staff organised a trip last week for almost 100 activists to campaign for Ms Harris in several critical battleground states.  Asked if this was a mistake, Sir Keir Starmer insisted any members of his party were in the US on an entirely voluntary basis, similar to previous elections... Speaking on British current affairs television programme Victoria Derbyshire, Richard Grenell, former US acting director of national intelligence and former ambassador to Germany under Trump said: “We don’t want to have any foreign interference in our elections... so I think this is a pretty open and shut case: don’t interfere in the American elections and you won’t be sued.”"
Good luck if foreigners come over to help Donald Trump. It's only foreign interference if it hurts the left wing agenda

Bad Hombre on X - "Major drama within the Kamala Harris campaign this morning. A source reveals that Harris screamed at and angrily berated her campaign manager Julie Chavez for over 30 minutes on the phone this morning.  The source shares that Chavez advised Kamala not to attend the Al Smith dinner because it could send the wrong message and risk alienating LGBTQ and pro-abortion voters if she was seen cozying up to Catholics.   Instead Chavez suggested a compromise of sending in the poorly-received video in lieu of an in-person appearance.   Chavez was in tears during the phone call as Kamala shred her to pieces, called her an idiot, inept, horrible at your f-ing job, and told her that her stupid advice is going to be the reason she loses.  The joy is gone."

Newt Gingrich on X - "It took real nerve for President Obama to leave his 8 bedroom mansion on 28 acres on Martha’s Vineyard to lecture young Black men about their obligation to support Kamala Harris no matter what the price of groceries, the rising crime, the massive illegal immigration or other issues tell them."

Both are trained actors, film producers, and farmers who recently debuted a film called "Hayride to Hell" at the far-left CentreFilm Festival in State College, PA in 2023 which featured films about interracial gay fathers who find themselves raising a child after one of the dad's becomes a widower, and another about the struggle of illegal immigrants.  Lange and Chadwick who co-own Sugartown Strawberries in Malvern, PA and Bob Lange serves as the chair of the three member Willistown Township, Chester County Board of Supervisors. They are prolific regular donors to DEMOCRATS for over a decade.   Chadwick who at the time listed her employer as Arden Theatre Co. donated twice to ActBlue in 2016. Lange is a prolific donor to Democrats including Bob Casey, John Fetterman, and Hillary Clinton back in 2016. He is also a donor to ActBlue. FEC records are attached."
