Reptiloids for president!

Serious, its frightening what psychological nutties can get elected for higher pltical offices these days. And how easily and naturally.

Quote:

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has named Kamala Harris as his running mate - the first black woman and South Asian American in the role.

Once a rival for the top job, the California senator of Indian-Jamaican heritage had long been considered the front-runner for the number two slot.

The former California attorney general has been urging police reform amid nationwide anti-racism protests.

Mr Biden will face President Donald Trump in the election on 3 November.

You misunderstand, the "Left" and Obama are the reptiloids

"US businesswoman who has expressed support for the QAnon conspiracy theory has won the Republican nomination for a seat in the House of Representatives."

"The GOP [Republican Party] establishment, the media, & the radical left, spent months & millions of dollars attacking me. Tonight the people of Georgia stood up & said that we will not be intimidated or believe those lies.
I'm excited to be the next Congresswoman of GA 14. God bless America."

God better save America.

For what i read here and elsewhere the qAnOn (or whatever it is written and whoever cares) conspiracy theories have become the truth - in the minds of some.

But there is hope! Putin wants Trump, JinPing wants Biden - maybe the desinformation systems and election meddling will neutralise each other

And then the Reptilian hords will strike and push everyone off the edge of the Earth.

She doesn't look black ... Jamaican and Indian I think

Not sure if that means American Indian or perhaps her mother was from India.

Probably won't hurt her though ...

It's just that Biden is so old and so unacceptable it makes on wonder who's really running for the POTUS Biden or Harris

"Kamala Devi Harris was born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California.[3] Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a breast-cancer scientist who had emigrated from Tamil Nadu, India in 1960 to pursue a doctorate in endocrinology at UC Berkeley.[11] Her father, Donald J. Harris, is a Stanford University emeritus professor of economics, who emigrated from British Jamaica in 1961 for graduate study in economics at UC Berkeley. In a 2018 article written in Jamaica Global, Donald Harris claimed to be a descendant of slave owner Hamilton Brown. (...) Kamala Harris identifies simply as "American" " - Wikipedia.

In my book, she is not "black". Nor was Obama "black". Both are "Mischlinge", I am not certain on the correct English word, some translations seem to refer to animal breeding exclusively, so I skip the attempt to translate into English. Black in my book are Africans, especially near the equatorial region. Technically Northern Africans in Marocco or Tunisia are Africans, too - but I would never describe them as "black people".

Kamala Harris Lies Repeatedly in First Speech as Biden’s Running Mate

In her first speech since Joe Biden selected her as his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris told multiple lies. To wit:
“The president’s mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression,” Harris said.

False. The pandemic and its associated lockdowns, not the president, are responsible for the economic contraction. Donald Trump is not the president of the euro zone, which suffered through an even more dire economic contraction in the second quarter: minus 40.3 percent, on an annualized basis, as against minus 32.9 percent in the US. The U.K. suffered a contraction of 59.8 percent, also on an annualized basis. Donald Trump is not the prime minister of the United Kingdom. The U.S. economy did slightly better than Germany’s in the second quarter. And it’s questionable to compare the current crisis to the Great Depression, which was not only deep but lasted more than a decade. The U.S. added 1.8 million jobs in July and Goldman Sachs predicts 25 percent (annualized) GDP growth in the current third quarter, which would mark an end to the U.S. recession after two quarters.

“Just look where [Trump and Mike Pence] have gotten us. . . . Millions of kids who cannot go back to school,” Harris said.
Wrong. It is not Donald Trump’s decision whether kids go back to school, because the federal government does not run schools, but he has urged the schools to reopen. The primary reason kids cannot go back to school is opposition from teachers’ unions. The second-largest teachers’ union is threatening to strike if schools reopen.

“Six years ago, in fact, we had a different health crisis,” Harris said. “It was called Ebola. We all remember that pandemic.”

Incorrect. Ebola was an outbreak, not a pandemic, according to the World Health Organization.
“This virus has impacted almost every country,” Harris said. “But there’s a reason it has hit America worse than any other advanced nation. It’s because of Trump’s failure to take it seriously.”
Wrong. Several advanced nations have suffered more fatalities per million population than the U.S.: Belgium, the U.K., Spain, Italy, Sweden. Donald Trump is not in charge of any of these countries.

So the "National Review" (sic!) complains about a lie of the far radical anarchist antifa socialist communist left?
Where are they when it is about Trump's lies? Not enough gigabytes space for all these?

Something much more important - US calls for shower rules to be eased after Trump hair complaints:

"What do you do if on Novembre 3rd you loose the election?"................."Dunno, but I will ask Lukaschenko about it."

Not funny at all when reading that Trump'S minions try to destrioy the US Post Service so that it necessaily will be degraded so much that mail voters are likely to drop out of the elction results. Thats betrayal, Mister, plain and simple.

Typically, Democratic voters are more ocncerned about corona and tend to prefer mail voting earlier than Republicans who dismiss Corona more by tendency and do nworr yless about going to a polling station. Reducing the efficiency of the Mail Service thus is in faovur of Republican counts.

Mybe it doe snto need the Russians tp interfere to rig the US elections. its enough maybe if gerrymadering and the WH already interfere with it.

Just a year ago I did not have an idea how messy things are in the US. Voting standards of a third world banana republic. Embarassing, for a self-proclaimed super power.

Kamala and The National Review.

There is now a unending barrage of articles in the Left MSM that is proclaming that Sen. Harris is a moderate. It is quite remarkable and shows that not only are the biased but dishonest. And the spin will continue unabated till November. I would be very surprised to see any article in the Left MSM that is critical of Kamala Harris.

Quote:

Senator Harris is a moderate autocrat. During the Democratic primary debates, she vowed to ban so-called assault weapons by executive order. When Joe Biden pointed out that the president has no such power and is obliged to follow the Constitution, she laughed in his face.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/...s-no-moderate/

Quote:

It is possible to exaggerate the legitimate concerns about Joe Biden’s age and health. But it is not unreasonable to understand, as many Democrats and Republicans both do, that a Biden presidency might very well evolve into a kind of regency in which the fragile-seeming and forgetful man who would be 82 years old at the end of his first term acts as a placeholder until a suitable replacement comes of age, as it were. The leading candidate for such a successor would be his vice president, in this case a self-serving and dishonest politico who was moderately corrupt as an attorney general, moderately abusive as a senator, and now moderately dangerous to the rule of law.

Americans should be moderately terrified.
