MAGA rally in Tulsa this week. They're going to burn down the black section of town again, after signing waivers against suing for when they get the virus and die.

OK, so BTW there's a presidential election this year. Biden is the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party. The word on the filfy skreetz of Polynesia is that he's about to drop not only his VP pick, but much or all of his cabinet picks. Here's the breakdown:

VP: Susan Rice
SS: REEEElizabeth Warren
NSA: Pete Butt-Judge (sp?)
AG: Kamala Harris (not the Ugandan Giant, sadly)
HUD: Stacey Abrams

The rumor is that he's trying to create a "dream team" that will enthuse various, and equally retarded, factions of da Beeg Tent. I can't vouch for the accuracy of this, but it's an interesting roster. Thoughts?

Harris for Veep is my prediction and preference. She has no problem throwing people in jail (which has made veep an uphill slog).

I believe you, ever since Biden was spotted with those talking points about her she's been many people's pick. Not sure how she plays out. She's sorta black-ish, and she is a woman, but she also made a career out of putting black men in jail. Hard to say how this affects the Biden campaign and whether or not she can help him maintain momentum. What are your thoughts about her contribution to "winnability"?

I'm a shitty pundit on this, and I almost dread listening to the pundits, but I think women in general, including suburban women, can dig her scene. She can pull votes from Orange Man Bad.

A lot will depend on how women feel about her complicated romantic history.

Where's SPELLS. We need his insights about this KWEEN. It is kinda weird that Trump-Pence can make a legitimate case for having a better track record with Blacks than Biden-Harris.

I don't know a lot about her apart from being somewhat centrist and maybe went hard in the paint when she was a prosecutor. It's good we don't have a Democratic Socialist of America on the ticket. You can't convince swing voters these two are lawless commies who want to Antifa defund BLM the police with anchor Benghazi babies.

I suspect the only two black people who'd make that argument are Ben Carson and Herman Cain and half of them are dead.

I don't think VP is going to matter much for 2020. Barring outright theft, you can't get re-elected with 20% unemployment, shitty approval ratings, and hundreds of thousands dead, no matter what you blast on GOP propaganda networks.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

If Joe doesn't make it to November, she slots up, right?

What happens if Joe makes it to November but not to January?

It's been recently pointed out to me that COVID among careful rich people isn't really a thing at this point. If incentives are there they can just pay to completely avoid exposure. They've both had work done, but 77 Joe looks and sounds healthier to me than 74 Trump.

I never pegged you for a Waka Flocka mark, but there it is. I suppose we should all brush up for our new ebony overlords. You're no doubt right that swing voters probably won't peg her as a communist, but then again, the black electorate (lol) probably won't forget that between Biden and prosecutors like her, they jailed a generation of future CEOs. Anyway, I suppose time will tell, but you really shouldn't gloat about "hundreds of thousands dead" before it happens, it's in poor taste, even if your wish does come true.

Also, weird to me that she's not being billed as first Asian-American on a presidential ticket, but I suppose they just have to learn their place in the woke racial hierarchy.

Hillary had a higher approval rating than Trump in 2016. They're probably push polls.

Trump can blame the Chinese for the virus. The Democrats for the over reaction to the bug. Some US states never did shut down. S. Dakota. In contrast the two worse states are New Jersey and New York which were run by Democrats.

Biden is loopy. The Gaffe Machine. Harris is a nobody. Democrats who want to defund police won't like Harris railroading people or Biden's "crime bills". They may stay home.

The chaos in Democratic run Cities is scaring suburbia. In Chicago the PD Chief, Kim Foxx and Mayor Lightfoot are trading blame for roving bands of looters. Trump never did send in the National Guard, just the DHS and not much.


Lot of shit in play right now. Hard to say.

Four more years of a partially qualified Black Senator as President. How did that go from 2009 to 2017?

The man couldn't negotiate to save his own life. Even his own party bitched about his arrogant tone, his refusal to make deals. Overseas he was a cluster fuck, bringing back slavery to Libya and cannibalism to Syria. Then we have what happened in Donbass, which he and Joe Biden "brokered".

they should have picked Sen Jim Webb. He would have smashed Trump. He is a voice of reason. Ain't completely to my liking but he's not a freak show.

I remember reading Fields of Fire, a book by some unknown guy named Jim Webb many, many years ago.

He’d have done a great job.

He wrote a lot of books. "Born Fighting" is a great bio on Scots-Irish. "Fields of Fire" was a good book.

He's still alive. He has a Twitter feed. He's probably not pliable enough for Wall Street.

Webb would do better than Trump, Biden, Bush or Obama. Lunch bucket Democrat.

We get the "leadership" that we deserve. Good and hard.

Yeah Webb was my guy as well.

Webb and Tulsi is a great ticket for me.

But Jesse Ventura and Tulsi could make a legit disruptive run

Kamala on women's accusations regarding Biden's jazz hands:

"I believe them, and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it."

So, I guess my question for you pinkos is, was she lying then or lying now?
