Kamala Harris: 10 issues she may have "Trumpified"



With Kamala Harris having to walk back most everything she believes that will hurt her presidential chances, most of us wouldn't be surprised if she sleeps with Stormy Daniels and dyes her hair just to give the illusion she's like Trump only black and a woman.

Harris has walked back on so many issues, it's hard to take her seriously. I suspect if she wins the presidency, she will do exactly what she wants, and that's to follow her estranged father's socialist philosophy and Make America Ache.

1. She was outspoken about banning fracking during her 2020 short-lived campaign that ended up getting her zero primary votes. But now she pretends her stance has changed and no longer supports a ban. Some people will believe her and others will be happy if it does change back to the ban. Kamala is now getting in line with the more centrist Democrats in her fake approach to energy policy and tut-tuts global warming, at least until the second week in November. 

Do you trust her?

2. She has also proposed a smaller increase in long-term capital gains tax rate compared to what Biden suggested. This is a change from her former stance of taxing the wealthy. And now while supporting an increase in corporate tax, she sees how unpopular it is, and has suggested a lower tax hike than previously discussed.


3. In a move to kick the Second Amendment in the butt, she supported mandatory buy-back programs for "assault weapons" but her new 'elect me, guys' stance is less aggressive because she has no other political philosophy than to get elected by any means necessary. Her current stance focuses more on background checks and other less controversial measures. But it isn't background check improvement that's so needed, it's the enforcement of the laws that are already in place.

4. Harris and health care are a fiscal joke. She once supported Medicare For All and a single-payer health care system, which would end private health insurance, remove people's choices for health care, and destroy thousands of jobs. Suddenly, her campaign claims she no longer supports this, but Harris herself has not stated this openly. 

Do you trust her?

5. For Harris, the ability for mothers to kill their babies in the womb has always been a soft spot in her heart. While she still believes women have the right to do this right up to the baby's crowning she is now emphasizing these rights as a large focal point of her campaign. 


6. Back when she was first running for president, she wanted to decriminalize illegal border crossings. But with Trump going full-on border defense, Harris believes she has evolved and suddenly supports stronger border controls and enforcement, at least for now. Maybe even a wall on the southern border. 

Do you trust her?

7. She had, but no longer has, a federal jobs guarantee initiative that was part of her Green New Deal proposal. Harris loves her some Green New Deal--it's what daddy would have wanted, although he's nowhere to be found. 

8. In an effort to kick capitalism in the symbolic nuts, Harris was for a mandate for automakers to build only electric and hydrogen vehicles by 2035. While it's not certain whether she is still for it or against the idea, once she's in office [heaven forfend] anything is possible.

Do you trust her?

9. Slavery reparations were also big for the giggling Vice President. In this case too, her position is unclear and since she wasn't asked in the only powder puff interview she had [for 16 minutes] it's likely she's still for it. Who knows where she stands since she hides from the disinterested media.

10. But the most important issue she was dead set to impose on the American people was the banning of plastic straws to save the environment. Never mind that plastic bags, plastic pens, and so on, are not being banned, but Axios recently reported that Kamala Hahahaharris is no longer for the ban.

Sip away.

Jimmy Kimmel is a characterless liar

Jimmy Kimmel used his young son, little Billy, as a prop to make a political point, which is beyond disgusting and immoral.

Just before going live, Kimmel pulled out a nose hair which brought tears to his eyes and his voice wavered just like he practiced.

"Hi, I'm Jimmy. This is Billy," Kimmel said all choked up as he held his bewildered son, a cute child born in April with a serious heart problem. 

He used Billy as a verbal prop before, but now he was doing a complete visual prop with him. "He's fine everybody; he may have pooped, but he's fine."

Ha ha ha . . . that was very funny. Even the audience chuckled.

Kimmel continued trying to pull on everyone's heartstrings. "Daddy, [sniff] cries on TV, but Billy doesn't." Sniff . . .  sniff.

Then he thanked the guest host who filled in for him last week because he had to take time off to care for little Billy because he couldn't afford to hire a nurse or attendant--just kidding, of course he could. He's very wealthy and doesn't need worry about the small stuff.

Next he praised the "very bright and talented doctors and nurses" at the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles where Billy was treated, and kids like him who, according to Kimmel, are having their health "especially threatened right now" because federal funding has run out for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). 

Which isn't true in the first place because Trump already extended it. And it has nothing whatsoever to do with little Billy, because Kimmel never used it. And it was Orin Hatch who originated the CHIP program and the Republicans who are pushing to pass it against the resistance of the Democrats who are trying to make it part of an irrelevant bill tied to it, but Kimmel tried to make it sound like it is being held up because of the Republican tax plan.

CHIP has nothing to do with the tax plan. Kimmel is simply a liar and he's using his child to give us a visual effect and pretend that because he's personally affected by health care through his son's condition, he's somehow an expert on health care.

Whatever happened to comedy?

McCain's integrity circles the bowl

BFFs for life
Senator John McCain told the media that he cannot support the Graham-Cassidy proposal to repeal and replace Obamacare--a main issue he ran on for his reelection to the Senate.

The reason for McCain's turnaround on his promise is simple: he's a lying RINO in bed with the Democrats and hates President Trump to the point where his hatred takes precedence over his integrity.

CNBC reported:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Friday said he "cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham Cassidy proposal.
McCain is one of four Republican senators who have been undecided on the GOP healthcare overhaul, and his opposition dealt the bill's chances a significant blow.
Also on Friday, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she is leaning toward voting NO on Graham Cassidy. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has already expressed his opposition to the bill, which he said didn't fully repeal the Affordable Care Act.
If all three of these votes are nay votes, the bill would not pass. Republicans have until Sept. 30 to pass a health care bill with only 50 votes. After that, they will need 60 votes, a nearly impossible threshold to meet. 
So it's obvious that hating a Trump success, at least in McCain's case, outweighs a campaign promise. 

And they wonder why the approval rate of congress is in the toilet.
