Trump vs Harris

[BDKJMU]

With all of the propaganda about harris being a DEI hire I thought it would be good to compare her resume to vance's before they became Vice President ...

JD Vance

• 2003 to 2007: Marine Corps, combat correspondent, including six months in Iraq
• 2009: graduated Ohio State University with a BA in political science and philosophy
• 2013: graduated Yale Law School
• 2013-2015: worked for Republican Senator John Cornyn; law clerk for Judge David Bunning of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky; worked at the law firm Sidley Austin.
• 2016: Hillbilly Elegy published
• 2016-2017: principal at Peter Thiel's firm, Mithril Capital
• 2022-2024: US Senate

Kamala Harris

• 1986: graduated Howard University with a BA in political science and economics.
• 1989: graduated University of California College of the Law, San Francisco
• 1990-1994: deputy district attorney in Alameda County, California
  
• 1994-1998: state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and California Medical Assistance Commission
• 1998-2000: San Francisco assistant district attorney. Chief of the Career Criminal Division, supervising five other attorneys

• 2003-2010: District Attorney of San Francisco
• 2011-2017: Attorney General of California
• 2017-2020: US Senate

vance might be one of the worst VP candidates of the modern era. He's right there with Palin, Quayle, Geraldine Ferraro and Spiro Agnew.

trump's 78 years old. If he has a thumper, is vance qualified to step in and take over. How much actual leadership experience does he have?

Lol you left off how Commiela got those jobs. Being ol Willie Brown’s mistress. Which led to everything after that.

So what? trump got his start because he was fred's son and that led to everything after that. If harris gets no credit because of Brown's help with her career then trump gets no credit because of fred's help with his career.

harris was way more qualified to be VP then vance is. What do you call someone who's less qualified than a "DEI hire"?

And Obama was a ‘community organizer’, a state rep for 6 years, and served 2 years in the Senate before beginning his campaign for POTUS. Thinner resume than Vance.

Amd JD Vance was born into poverty & a broken (divorce, alcoholism) family and on his own:
-served in the Marines
-got into & OH St on the GI bill & graduated with honors
-got into Yale Law school

Harris OTOH was born into a wealthy Indian family (parents were a biologist & a Stanford professor).

To paraphrase MAQA yahoos - ODS! But Obama! Whataboutism!

Obama's resume is NOT thinner than vance's. Teaching constitutional law alone puts him ahead of vance from a qualifications standpoint.

Barack Obama

• 1983: graduated from Columbia University with a BA in political science
• 1983-1988: worked as a community organizer in Chicago
• 1991: graduated from Harvard Law School
• 1992-2004: civil rights attorney and an academic, teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School
• 1997-2004: Illinois State Senate
• 2005-2008: US Senate

That's your opinion. That is the least of his qualifications for office so he's still ahead of vance.

One could also say the same thing about working for daddy.

Yes she was and she still is. She's also still black.

Are you arguing she can only claim one? Does that mean I can't be of Norwegian, German and Danish descent? That I have to pick one?

[BDKJMU]

I don’t feel no ways tired. I’ve come too faar!

That’s all the same race. European American.

Cid isn't going to be happy if you tell him that Scots Irish is just "European American".

harris was born Indian and black and she has every right to claim both heritages.

[BDKJMU]

That’s all the same race. European American.

Cid isn't going to be happy if you tell him that Scots Irish is just "European American".

harris was born Indian and black and she has every right to claim both heritages.

Yes she has every right to refer to herself as whatever is politically expedient. That’s what pols do. And since she referred to herself as Indian 5 years ago when she came onto the national scene, no one can be faulted for thinking she’s Indian, and referring to her as that.

[BDKJMU]

Lol the gaslighting by the left of Commiela’s record is laughable.

[houndawg]

...don't use that term when he's around, say "Ulster Scots"...

You'd have to be exceptionally dim to swallow that nonsense.

Her mom is Indian, her dad is black - it isn't a trick question.

I watched that opening part. She asked direct questions about his own statements related to…wait for it…black journalism. They weren’t “nasty” questions. It was his own words and hostility toward an ethic group.

‘They didn’t shower me with softballs’!

This is a classic example of Redstate reporting.

Wait! You’re Danish too! I’m just 3/4 Norwegian and 1/4 German. You’re clearly from an inferior racial background!

Lol you left off how Commiela got those jobs. Being ol Willie Brown’s mistress. Which led to everything after that.

Congratulations for not lying and saying that Trump slept with Fred to get where he is

finally broke free from it.

My journey has been a gradual political 180 from where I stood in every previous election. It has been an eye-opening process of disenchantment, zero-basing lifelong beliefs, and rebuilding from there.

In 2017, a good friend enlisted me to pitch the DNC to raise $100M from Silicon Valley founders and executives. The aim was to use these funds and know-how to build a CRM and tech platform to prevent a repeat of Hillary Clinton’s inadequate, outdated 2016 campaign. We met with DNC leadership, who told us we could raise that money, but it would have to go to the general fund; a single-digit percentage would then be allocated to tech. In the wake of one of their most shocking failures, they didn’t want the help.

The next series of realizations began in 2019 while I was at Meta, right after we announced the Libra white paper. I testified before the Senate and the House and subsequently spent significant time in DC, engaging with lawmakers, cabinet members, regulators, and two White House administrations. At the time, I still believed the mainstream idea that Democrats were all about serving the People. However, I was shocked to learn that, for the most part, Republicans cared more deeply about their constituents, while Democrats, in my experience, cared more about government power and control. This is my observation on balance, with many stories to back it up. I also found that more Republicans wanted to understand our project’s goals and took the time to learn about the risks of censoring payments and controlling the network. I found myself remarkably aligned with them.

Then COVID came, revealing more. While I don’t subscribe to the most malicious vaccine conspiracy theories, I do take offense at the censorship machine put in place to hide the origin of the virus from the NIH-funded Wuhan lab and all dissenting voices on vaccinations and lockdowns. At that time, I fully appreciated why Republicans value freedom of speech and preventing censorship.

This trend of spinning and manufacturing a parallel reality to serve the Dem agenda, solidified by complicit mainstream media, hit home with the Hunter Biden laptop story, the coordinated vilification of President Trump and his followers, and President Biden’s cognitive decline — depriving voters of a voice in a proper primary. These examples displayed the hubris of the current Dem leadership. You must think the American people are fools to believe the spin on these issues. I despise this elite vs. general population ideology viscerally.

This version of the Democratic Party is sidelining moderates and centrists and has adopted an increasingly leftist ideology. This drift to the left has dictated policies from which I’ve found myself estranged.

On the domestic front, there has been a total departure from the core American value system of meritocracy, an extreme and weaponized DEI agenda, an open door to massive illegal immigration, and a once-fringe narrative, now mainstream within the party, of vilifying success. This shift is also causing us to fall behind due to an anti-innovation regulatory climate, notably on crypto and soon AI — two non-linear technological breakthroughs that will likely determine tomorrow’s leading countries.

On foreign policy, the administration is exacerbating tensions with Russia through an aggressive NATO expansion narrative focused on Ukraine and prolonging an unwinnable war. This is costing American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, the world hundreds of thousands of lives, depleting the U.S. military arsenal and risking World War III. On Iran, this administration is continuing a misguided Obama-era plan to bring Iran closer to the West by unfreezing Trump-era sanctions, thus giving the Mollahs’ regime the ability to fund terrorism and pursue its anti-America, anti-Israel, and anti-Jewish agenda. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was also handled disastrously. We’re leaving a door open for China to invade Taiwan by coming across as weak. Most importantly to me, concerning Israel, the administration is enabling Iran to fund Hamas and Hezbollah, restraining Israel in its fight against its enemies, thus prolonging another conflict, which is costing more lives on both sides and allowing unprecedented levels of antisemitism to rise at home.

I believe we need a President who is unequivocally pro: America, the Constitution, business, Bitcoin/crypto, innovation, Israel, small government, legal immigration, free speech, meritocracy, and common sense — and anti: regulatory proliferation, illegal immigration, unjust wars, Iran’s current regime, and domestic groups that oppose American values. These issues are central to President Trump’s platform.

Naturally, I disagree with President Trump and the GOP on some issues, particularly women’s reproductive rights. While I’ve come to learn that extreme views exist in both parties, I firmly believe that women should have the unalienable right to make their own decisions on this polarizing topic. President Trump confirmed he was against a national abortion ban and supported the Supreme Court’s decision on maintaining access to mifepristone, which was reassuring and a sign that the party was moving closer to the center.

It’s impossible to close this post without mentioning President Trump’s recent assassination attempt. The courage and resolve he displayed seconds after being hit by a bullet was awe-inspiring for his followers and detractors alike. This was a man, however imperfect, who, at that moment, incarnated the American spirit in the most vivid way, starting to bring a split nation together.

Some claim that reelecting President Trump will bring our democracy to its knees. However, the alternative — having unelected individuals with this much power and no accountability run our government coupled with four more years of bad policies at home and abroad — might present a more significant threat. Neither will likely change in a Harris administration and could potentially worsen.

In this pivotal moment, confronted with the choices we have, I am endorsing and supporting a return to a Republican administration in 2025.
