How San Francisco’s Wealthiest Families Launched Kamala Harris
Sleeping around and sucking-up to get to the top.
"He shows and cites all the evidence that that was what Harris's real game was back when she was a pretty young thang, using her looks as her assets and adopting the agendas of her billionaire leftist patrons."
no, anon: look to the person you support and deal with his past and his present...or, if unable to confront that horror story, then deal with the posted piece
Over 100 tires slashed in Orthodox Jewish community, police say
- ABC News
In the Democrat Stronghold (or is it stranglehold) of the North East, some Democrats just LOVE Jews!
"no, anon: look to the person you support and deal with his past and his present."
No, dummy: I look to the person I support and those running against him (or her) and deal with all their pasts and present.
FTFY
It is like football. You analyze you past football games for what you did right and what you did wrong.
You also analyze the performance of teams you will play and look at their strength and weaknesses. You study their playbook.
You analyze your and their present. That is you look at their new drafts and injury list.
Pro Tip: You should not be a coach. You should not opine on politics. You should not do much of anything except get yourself committed or incarcerated. You could steal something over $1,000 and get a pong stint, so that you would not longer have to rely on the paucity of your intellect to get 3 squares.
If you don't cop-out, you could read this article.
A history of opposition analysis
"The victims were a 71-year-old man, a 67-year-old man and a 56-year-old man. In each incident, the victim was approached by a group of three young men who came up from behind and punched them in the face, went through their pockets and then fled with nothing, according to police."
Democrats are very brave. Oh, yes there are. I'm surprised they didn't jump these elderly Jewish men with at least a mob of 20.
Democrats a lemming follow the leader types, herd animals.
"Chris Cuomo Once Referred to Himself as Fredo on NY City Radio Show"
He can call himself Fredo, but if you call him Fredo, he will feel hurt.
He made a mistake to make this joke back then and then falls back on the race card as he was told on CNN. And the physical bullying. The threat of violence. Clasay CNN. All around. Bet he likes Antifa and thinks they are against fascists.
Libs, Including Chris Cuomo, Are Okay with Using 'Fredo' as an Insult
If Liberals did not have double standards, they would have no standards at all.

"- 9 in 10 counties that voted for Trump have received subsidies to fight the trade war "
Some one is upset? That title is crafted to mislead and enrage delicate, stupid liberal snow flakes.
If 10 out 10 counties that voted for Trump received subsidies to fight the trade war, I would not be upset. What matter is if they qualify by law and have been hurt by the trade war.
Would the poster at 7:14 PM be more more upset or less upset if we did not respond to China's scorched earth trade war tactics?
When you look at set theory, they talk about subset like A, B & C and their intersections. There will also talk about the Universe (superset or overall set), U.
So A is the set of countries that voted for Trump. A was mentioned by the Washington Compost progandadist and whore (i.e. presstitute). they did nbot mention it as A, but A is a good short hand.
B would be the set of counties that did not vote for Trump.
C would be the set of counties that have had ag businesses hurt by China.
What we want to know is A intersection C and A intersection B. If Trump covered both those intersection, then there really is not story as the polemicist at the Compost wants to spin it.
Now I do declare that the poster at &;14 cannot be considered literate, because they are not numerate. At best thney can be considered functionally illiterate. That is an idiot.
