Last night, millions tuned in to watch Fox’s Bret Baier interview Vice President Kamala Harris in a brief but substantive exchange. One of the most interesting aspects of the interview was the purely pedestrian view of the presidency that Harris presented in the interview. Harris repeatedly responded with “I will follow the law” while refusing to say where she personally stands on immigration, transgender athletes, and other issues.
After confining interviews to largely softball forums like The View, Harris faced a serious journalist who pushed for actual answers on policies. While confined to a short time by the Harris campaign, Baier kept pulling Harris back to these questions to cut off the evasions that have characterized past interviews.
Baier noted that she has previously campaigned on some of these issues and publicly declared that she worked for such things as gender transitioning operations for undocumented persons. Harris now refuses to state her position on such issues and says “I will follow the law.”
Yet, Harris is not adopting that pedestrian model in other areas like abortion rights where she is pledging to use executive powers to resist pro-life laws. The Biden-Harris Administration has used such orders to negate both constitutional and statutory authority. That includes orders that were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on issues like the national eviction moratorium.
Notably, Harris did flip her position on decriminalizing unlawful entries. Despite running on that pledge in her earlier unsuccessful run for the White House, Harris now says that she is against such decriminalization. As with her past opposition to fracking and gun rights, the change is likely to draw criticism that Harris is adopting a new persona for a close race.
The refusal to give her position on these issues is reminiscent of Joe Biden’s last campaign where he simply refused to say if he opposed packing the Supreme Court with an instant liberal majority. What is different is that Harris previously stated strong and public positions on these questions but is now refusing to confirm that she continues to support those policies, including some that rank near the top of issues for voters.
Baier did a heroic job in trying to prevent the filibustering of the interview and push for answers on these questions. It was the first such interview where Harris faced a dogged interviewer. Given the frantic effort of the staff to end the interview (after showing up late), it is likely to be the last.
The mantra of “I will follow the law” ignores that a president plays a major role in the legislative process and has considerable executive powers in determining how such laws are enforced. The presidency is more than a promise of “joy” and compliance. It is about leadership on issues that matter to voters.
The interview had a seasonal feel with Halloween approaching like a political reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven where every question is answered by “Nevermore.”
That could well be the theme of the Harris campaign. When pressed on contradictions or controversies, Harris seemed to declare “Nevermore Trump” over and over again. We will see if that is enough in a matter of a few weeks.
In the meantime, real journalists will be left seeking answers that never come, exclaiming like Poe’s protagonist “tell me—tell me, I implore!” However, “Quoth the [Harris] ‘Nevermore.’”
Bair admits he showed the wrong Trump clip in the interview, which is what Harris was saying. https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4940441-baier-made-mistake-trump-clip-harris-interview/
@JeffClarkUS
Buried lede in this Washington Post story?
Kamala Harris needed a tutor to get through law school successfully. I know, shocker.
And the tutor was a Japanese American named Jeff Adashi, who would share her radical politics but was disappointed she didn’t go far enough in curbing law enforcement when she was San Francisco DA.

There is absolutely nothing honest about this woman. She is a 100% leftist phony to her core. People are distrustful of the criminal justice system? Why not make them more so by putting your fat thumb on the scale of prosecutorial decisions. What a great idea! Let’s politicize the process, then we’ll accuse others of doing exactly what we are doing.
Kamala Harris said that the border is a problem but that’s not what she said before. Quote. “The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed,” Harris told Chuck Todd during an interview for NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday.
We have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration,” she added”.
Tell it to Layken Riley. Now she says that the border is Trumps fault. Six prominent Democrats voted against the bill that she said Trump tried to kill. Sleazy lawyer.
There is absolutely required that the new DOJ and FBI pursue the blatant miscarriages of justice by these elected officials. I don’t care their party affiliation, the guilty need to be held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It’s the only way our nation will ever recover from these corrupt politicians.
More blatant lawfare and election interference by Biden-Kamala’s Jack Smith and DC Obama Judge Tanya Chutkan.
They’re publicly dumping a one-sided political narrative.
With the election less than 3 weeks away.
After waiting nearly 3 years to bring the (bogus) charges.
——————
Brace for Jack Smith October Surprise Round 2.
Judge Chutkan is going to unseal Jack Smith’s appendix.
You know. Because it’s totally normal for the government to unseal reams of grand jury material before a trial even begins.
NOT!
KH to Baier: “We all know what I’m talking about.”
That was a very telling self-admission and attempt at manipulation. The key to her collectivist psychology is her use of “we all.”
Translated: I have no idea what I’m talking about. But everybody else pretends that I’m saying something. If you want that group to accept you, you too will pretend that I’m saying something important.
Fortunately, Baier’s “I don’t know what you are talking about.” shows that he’s too independent to abet that pretense.
I would venture to guess that no one has any idea what she is talking about, on just about every topic.
Her strategy (her handlers and speech coaches) was to never answer a question. Nor will she ever answer a question.
First, she arrived late to break home court advantage. Second, she would filibuster one liners and hope for the possibility of viral moment.
She came off as snide, evasive and smug. People are tired of evasive gaslighting B.S. career politicians. She demonstrated disdain and scorn in her answers and tone. She never apologized nor admitted that she or ‘Ol Joe from Scranton” ever screwed up.
She is a machine politician who has never had to make payroll, build anything or create solutions. She is a radical who is left of Bernie Sanders (and that is aging something).
She did not help her cause. She is disconnected from reality.
Bret, though frustrated at times with her irrationality, never lost his cool nor showed disrespect for her and the office she holds.
I wonder how long she rehearsed for her first, actual interview. No wonder her handlers wanted this interview short.
Saying not aging…
What is the law? Bc local police violate the 4th breach through the castle and no law applies. So saying you’ll follow the law doesn’t really mean much. Cops oath to it but don’t follow it.
Maybe kamala needs to say what is the “law”…..
After watching the interview, I was struck by how very few times VP Harris actually answered Baier’s question directly. While there were any number of low points, one that struck me was when “answering” the question of why over 70% of the voters think this country is on the wrong track. She did not own up to being part of the Biden Harris administration for the past three years with some responsibility for setting the national direction. Instead VP Harris laid the blame on DJT and then proceeded saying “we all know what I’m talking about”. Baier’s rejoinder was simple but illuminating, “I don’t know what you are talking about.” Indeed, I would guess that few people watching did know what she was talking about. In the end, it seems to me that her mission was to communicate to Fox viewers that DJT is so bad and should not be president. She missed, in my opinion, a golden opportunity to clarify for voters key questions regarding her thinking. She came across as very shallow, evasive, frankly uncaring regarding the criminal activity of some of the illegal immigrants, and scripted with mostly anti-DJT talking points.
Sinwar is dead. Israel is on the front lines in the battle to save civilization, literally fighting the forces of darkness, picking off Hitlers one by one. As was said about the RAF: never in the field of human conflict have so many owed so much to so few.

Unfortunately there are a thousand to replace them. It will never end, it’s a blood vendetta.
But it is a good thing Bibi didn’t listen to Kamala-the-blithering-idiot:
https://x.com/DrEliDavid/status/1847046510564745393
What does this have to do with Mr. Turley’s piece?
That is not correct. Terrorist have a reasonably easy job of getting very young very stupid people to fight, even commit suicide.
But their older smarter leaders are very serious about staying alive.
Do not bet it will be easy to replace him.
Nor would I bet that the replacement will not spend more time looking over his shoulder and less engaged in terrorism.
It is extremely important when fighting terrorists to cut the head off the beast.
I agree, but terrorist organizations are more akin to hydras. A new head eventually grows back. But in the case of the checklist of butchers the Israelis have recently eliminated, they have outed Iran as being unable to protect its proxies. That surely will have some adverse impact to their ability to let others do their fighting, killing…and dying.
Remember, what we see as a terrorist they see as freedom fighters. A blood debt has been created and as Iran becomes nuclear it will become more difficult to control.
“Remember, what we see as a terrorist they see as freedom fighters.”
Freedom fighters do not kill and incarcerate their own or use them as human shields. These are terrorists, and when the Sunni terrorists get bored of fighting Israelis, they will fight the Shia. In Gaza, the children (around age 6) are brought up with wooden guns while trained to hate and kill.
Mr. Meyer:
Respectfully I’m not disagreeing with your opinion, what I am saying is that I am sure that’s not how they see themselves.
It seems to me that the difference between a terrorist and a patriot is determined by the victor of the fight, not the victims of the fight.
Traveler, what you said was correct. We agree like we almost always do, but I thought we ought to define better the differences between a terrorist and a freedom fighter.
Your latter statement is also correct as a generality, but the distinction between a terrorist and a freedom fighter remains.
WSJ has an excellent Editorial Board opinion today wherein they pointed out that had Israel followed Biden’s demands, Sinwar would still be alive.
Thank you for the referral. What many do not realize is that Sinwar was captured before and was released in a hostage trade. That should tell everyone that hostage trading leads to more deaths. People should also realize Israel saved Sinwar’s life. That is the humanistic nature of the people of Israel. Their enemy had a brain tumor, and Israeli doctors cured him.
Biden’s tactics have cost the lives of hostages, Palestinians, Americans and Israelis, just like his policies have killed hundreds of thousands or more in Ukraine and Russia. Biden represents the culture of death. On the other hand, Israel is the culture of life with a vibrant economy that produces all sorts of technology, some of which keep alive a part of those 85 million hits on this blog.
The end of the war does not come with the death of Sinwar. As Biden suggests, it does not come with a peace treaty between Hamas and Israel. It comes with the total absolute defeat of Hamas and Hezbollah, both terrorist organizations supported by Iran and Qatar (a terrorist state Biden believes is a peace partner). Had Biden continued the path of Trump, there would be no war, but Biden fed Iran, which is the financial support of the terrorists directly involved, plus the indirect involvement of Yemen and Syria. Iran has turned Iraq, and all these countries have been engaged in attacking America and killing American soldiers.
Based on international law, Israel is sovereign over the areas in dispute. That was the Israeli half of the British mandate. The entire region, including part of Southern Lebanon (not part of the British mandate was part of the Nation of Israel before Mohammad.
Hezbollah, in the northern half of Israel, has sent about 10,000 missiles and rockets into the land of Israel. The terrorists took over Lebanon, which was a Christian nation that helped the Muslims in earlier years. Christians were killed and continue to be killed throughout the area.
I am not against the peaceful part of the Muslim religion or people, but one has to be careful because their eventual desired end is a califate over the entire world. To Iran, Israel is the lesser Satan, while America is the big one.
Biden promotes war with everything he touches. If he had gotten out of the way, the war would have ended a week after October 7. For America’s sake, the sake of the world, and peace, the remainder of the Biden-Harris team, Kamala Harris, must be defeated.
Vote for Trump and all Republicans running at the present moment because of the danger the Democrats present. Even if one knows that their state will go to Harris because the numbers of votes count to show support for policies other than those seen under Kamal Harris.
Do you suppose Valerie Jarrett, Samantha Powers and Obama helped keep Iran’s cash coming in while they kill Americans and Israelis alike? Biden is a stooge, he’s a puppet. The previous administration is still running the criminal enterprise.
Traveler, I don’t know who runs the government. All of these people are involved, but who is pulling the strings? Without diminishing their roles, money is being left out of the calculation.
* Candidates addressing auto workers or farmers at a federal level are beyond their purview. That’s private industry. Outside of interstate roads and the construction of those roads meeting military specs via the army engineers and used by private industry they’ve got nothing to say. The same holds true for physicians and licenses by States. The feds are way too big.
The feds need a good pair of pruning shears.
The interview was Brett Baire interviewing a 5th grader.
I’ve noticed quite a few comments here that complain that Baier “constantly interrupted” Harris. I watched the entire interview today.
Given the short time he was given to ask substantive questions, Baier was met with “Trump, Trump, Trump” accusatory responses, instead of answers to his questions.
When he tried to cut off Harris’ off-subject responses, she became condescendingly indignant and pushy.
I’m certain that most viewers were able to perceive this.
I love JT’s use of “pedestrian.”
Notwithstanding JT’s clever use of that term, I personally think of Harris as more “jaywalking.” She goes out of her way to avoid the traffic signal at the intersection of question and answer, circumvents the crosswalk by going way around, then, after much off-topic word salad, reaches the other side of the intersection, only to tell us that she “will follow the law.” hmmmm.
Lin
Seems to me the Harris plan was to show up late and leave early. Baier’s continual interjections to herd her away from word salad deflection and to an explicit answer to a detailed question is not interrupting. It’s called interviewing a political candidate. She failed miserably…again.
Traveler: agree, agree, and agree again.
I am with your analysis 100%, it was intended to complement the foundation you laid. 😜
* The arrive late leave early is ploy used by dummies. Kamala COMMANDED the time and Bair. She’s the commander.
She might have worn a General George Patton outfit with whip and jodhpur. I’M SPEAKING HERE!
disaster
Lin, how do you square your support of Bair questioning and the post discussion with Hume to your concerns about what goes on with Sunday morning msm interviews of Republicans and follow-up with Democrats?
Hello. I am not familiar with a “post discussion with Hume,” so I respectfully do not understand your question or where you asked me to take it? This a.m, I saw a video link to the interview and I clicked on it. My comment is limited to that.
Notwithstanding, the surname Hume sounds familiar; from FOX? May I infer that you were comparing a one-sided ex post facto discussion of the interview by two FOX employees without a chance to respond by Harris? If so, I did not see it; indeed, I only watched to a point where Baier is acknowledging someone off-camera and says to Harris that he is being told to wrap it up. In any event, if you intended to address a post-interview exchange between them, any comparison would be threadbare because neither Baier nor Hume are running as candidates, nor are they colleagues of hers. If I missed your point, I apologize in advance.
((Ha, just caught my own grammar mistake this a.m. Should read “neither Baier nor Hume IS running as candidate”
sorry)

It’s funny how the perception of the interview is so detached from reality among MAGA nuts than those of the sane.
Trump can’t handle tough questions without getting offended or rambling nonsense. His cognitive decline is becoming more apparent every time he is faced with…tough questions.
It’s funny how people who think they are intelligent cannot admit their faulty perceptions and comprehension deficiencies,and instead try to reduce others to their level. True intelligence means that you realize you are not as smart as you think.
It is funny how clueless you are.
Trump has dealt with tough questions in many forums – and unlikely Harris he does not dodge the interviews or dodge answering.
You may not like his answers. He may not have answered as you wanted him to.
He may have successfully dodged the transparent Gotcha trap you set – but he answers.
Most recently he was at the Chicago Economic Club – the moderator was the editor in cheif at Bloomberg, and Trump handled him extremely well – and the Audience agreed.
This was NOT an especially pro Trump audience – though REAL economists tend to be slightly to the right of center.
Today he appeared at the Al Smith Dinner. Hopefully the media will NOT do what Trump joked they would and “Fact Check” his jokes.
Lots of NY democrats were there – he poked fun at lots of them – and they poked fun at him. But he also said nice things about many of them. His Jokes were as good as any other politicians, he gave as good as he got, but it was all good fun.
Harris is the first presidential candidate in decades who was a no show.
She was off somewhere else spewing spittle and shouting.
You can tell that the Harris campaign knows they are in trouble – all the “joy” is gone.
It is all anger all the time now.
Meanwhile Trump was having fun at the Al Smith dinner.
So George, where was your insightful medical opinion and advice over the last 3.5 years regarding our current cognitive declined leader of the free world, President Joseph Robinette Biden?
If that is the way you see things, then it is you who is not sane. The rest of the world and even Leftist media all saw the Baier interview as a disaster for Harris. With regards to Trump’s alleged cognitive decline, again you are the only one that sees it. You are definitely showing symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Get help now.
There are many many calling the interview a disaster.
I have already disagreed.
Harris did much better than any interview todate – including softballs.
But it was a “disaster” in one sense.
The only reason for Harris to get interviewed by Fox was to try to pick off a few percent of Trump voters, or more independents.
That effort was a total failure.
She persuaded people that she can dodge tough questions without self destructing.
And that is quite often a very important skill for politicians.
But dodging questions is a really sound strategy when you are ahead.
It is useless when you are behind.
RCP has Harris losing EVERY Swing state, She is ahead in the National vote by a very tiny margin, Worse the trend is headed away from her.
There has been a major correction in LEFT leaning polls – some moving as much as 7pts to Trump since September.
There is speculation that they are correcting known bias they have had for months in order to be close enough on Election day to remain well rated in the future.
Rassmussen claims that recent shifts in the race all go to Trump but they are tiny. That the shifts we are seeing in other polls is not a reflection of a huge wave towards Trump, but polsters correcting their bias.
That said – a whole raft of Senate races are now very close. There are now 5 Democrat incumbents who are either behind or ahead by little more than 1% with 3 weeks left. Even Kari Lake is closing – though not within 1pt yet.
Harris desparately needs to appeal to independents – and the Fox interview FAILED to do that.
It was not a failure because she looked like a fool, or answered nonense, or kackled inappropriately.
It was a disaster because the goal was to appeal to independents.
Polymarket now has Trump with a 24pt edge.
An empty cab pulled up to FoxNews and Kamala Harris got out.
“I will follow the law.”
In point of FACT neither Harris or Biden been following the law on ANY issue in 3½ years. Not on Immigration, not on Loan forgiveness, not on ANYTHING!
Meanwhile…
“Trump cancelled on 60 Minutes, is refusing a second debate, and is hiding his medical records. What’s going on?”
Oh I forgot, he did do a dance for 30 minutes…
Meanwhile… “Trump cancelled on 60 Minutes, is refusing a second debate, and is hiding his medical records. What’s going on?”
OMG… OMG… he’s hiding his records that are being demanded by the same network that ran the rigged phony debate? The network that says Joe Biden doesn’t need to take a cognitive ability test????
Next thing you know he will be refusing to take a cognitive ability test like Biden does because… well, because he’s the president or something!
* med records might be under wrap because of the assassination attempts. Some reason… that’s an appropriate nexus
The specific records Harris is demanding have never been the norm for presidents.
He has several doctors who have done physicals and reported that he is in good health – that is the norm.
Do you desparately need to know whether he has BPH ?
He is male and over 60 – with near certainty he has some BPH.
1. Trump cancelled on 60 Minutes: After the deceitful editing of VP Harris’ and Speaker Johnson’s interviews, what’s the point? 60 Minutes is a partisan hack outlet. Nothing has changed since Leslie Stahl refused to accept that DOJ spied on Trump’s 2016 campaign and has refused to apologize for her willful deceit.
2. Is refusing a second debate: Why do a second one? ABC violated their own terms of the debate, the moderators made erroneous “fact checks” (like the correct statement by Trump that crime was up.)
3. is hiding his medical records: again, why? These people covered up Biden’s obvious mental impairment for four years.
Excellent. It’s a near certainty that CBS would edit the interview to show Trump in a bad light–although he does that to himself often. And a debate? Unless on Fox where we know Bret and Martha will be fair and stick to the rules, what’s the point? Spot on about medical records being demanded from someone who doesn’t know dementia when she sees it.
Two-thirds of Americans agree with Trump. Cancel the news media. Well done Aninny
https://news.gallup.com/poll/651977/americans-trust-media-remains-trend-low.aspx
“For the third consecutive year, more U.S. adults have no trust at all in the media (36%) than trust it a great deal or fair amount. Another 33% of Americans express “not very much” confidence.”
What is going on is he is winning.
As he said after the first debate with Harris – she was a no show at the Fox town hall, a no show at the NABJ, a no show at the Chicago Economic Club, and a no show at the al smith dinner.
ALL of these are staples for presidential candidates.
There is no reason to debate a candidate after you have beaten them.
Harris is desparate, Trump is not.
That is not just me saying that – that is a rapidly growing body of democrats.
There has been a massive shift in left wing polls in the past week.
While the shift is not real – those polls were Over stating Harris’s numbers.
By adjusting back towards reality – they are showing that Harris is losing and probably was only winning very briefly months ago.
As to 60 minutes ? They edited Harris’s interview, there is no reason for Trump to take an interview with media that is going to try to make Harris look better than she was and try to make him look worse.
That is the cost of getting caught cheating.
As to Trump’s health – he should challenge Harris to a round of gold and she who lasts 18 holes.
But she might not want to come – she might get caught in the crossfire of another assassin trying to get Trump.
Meanwhile Kamala Harris cancels out on Al Smith charity dinner to receive doritos communion from Gretchen Whitmer…
“’I Will Follow the Law’: Harris Adopts a Purely Pedestrian View of the Presidency in Fox Interview”
– Professor Turley
_____________________
The crucial law that Kamala Harris did not follow is the “natural born citizen” requirement in the Constitution; Harris’ parents were not citizens at the time of the candidate’s birth.
Blackstone defined natural born subject, not “natural born citizen,” which John Jay employed distinctly and in particular in his letter to George Washington, 1787:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise & seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expresly that the Command in chief of the american army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Constitution does not define “natural born citizen.”
The only definition of “natural born citizen” in human history is in the scholarly treatise of 1758, the Law of Nations, Book 1, Chapter 19, with which the American Founders and Framers were thoroughly familiar:
§ 212. Citizens and natives.
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.
Wow that’s something I hadn’t read before–great information–thanks.
Dear Prof Turley,
It was a poor, pitiful interview, even by Fox news standards. It didn’t answer any of my most pressing questions about VP Harris, including why the ‘illegal aliens’ flocking here in the first place(?), and it was hard to make heads or tails of it.
Let me talk to Ma’mala, I’ll have her turning tricks or treats in 15 min. .. notwithstanding any Biden/Harris Holy writ Sanctions on free speech (how are the Sanctions going btw? .. . other than my outrageously inflationary energy costs over the last 4 years.)
My most pressing concern, of course, is the risk(s) of global thermal nuclear war. That should go without saying, but a lot of people’s opinions I respect are increasingly saying it. Both in the Ukraine/Russia conflict and, increasingly, in widening gyre in the Holy Lands Mid East of the ginger trees. Surely, some second coming is at hand?
One can only hope and pray Kamala is not Ja Biden. .. maybe a bit more Trump, only different.
And not one question about ‘speech’, wtf Prof.? I thought that was your bread and butter – the ‘indispensable right’ in the age of rage? Both Harris and Walz say, explicitly, they plan to [continue to] ‘regulate’ hate speech and mis/dis&mal information and it will be hard to argue with that in the future. .. put that in your fact checker and smoke it.
*of course, this is not an endorsement of Trump .. . so use your best judgement.
dgsnowden: Let me talk to Ma’mala, I’ll have her turning tricks or treats in 15 minutes.
You’re going to hold a gun to her head and threaten to blow her head off if she refuses to answer your questions as she did in on Fox (that you so clearly despise) interview last night?
The interview was poor & pitiful, for sure, but NOT because of the interviewer. Bret Baier heroically attempted, over & over, to get an answer to the key question of “how do you feel now about the failure of Biden-Harris to secure our borders?” (I paraphrase Mr. Baier) Her “non answer” was some mumble jumble (how it sounded to me), then, she pivoted to Donald Trump about his “quashing” the congressional immigration bill. Each time Baier tried to pin her down on actually answering the question, she pretty-much regurgitated her previous (non) answer. When asked about the innocent Americans murdered by criminal illegal migrants, she did express her sympathy for the families of the dead victims. (too little, too late.) Anyone who plans to vote for this woman as the next leader of the free world should really use his/her brain to analyze Kamala Harris’s fitness for such a critically important job. By: cactus wren
Huh?
Kommie Harris probably practiced her latest line, “I will follow the law,” for days before this interview. Now … she can add it to “I was raised in a middle class neighborhood” and “I was raised by a single mother” as her “answer” to each and every question that stumps her. Pick one … any one … and follow it with jibberish that displays her lack of understanding on so many subjects. Non-responsive “answers” are the best this woman can do, but she does check the boxes!
Driving into the Sunrise this morning I reasoned that this must be what it’s like to be a Democrat, “Blinded by the bright lights of Nirvana” the future will be so great once we arrive. Never seeing the horizon and what’s to come, here is where I want to stay, I mean aren’t we better off than just a short four years ago. Then I awoke in panic, thinking my goodness this tripe is believed like a fish to a shinny lure by many. This whole fiasco could be a movie plot about the seizure of power by promising a Rainbow and Pot of Gold on the path towards Perdition (eternal damnation).
You could only achieve the true Democratic experience if you smoked a big fatty immediately upon waking up. This is the key ingredient for pursuing the definition of IS and following the convoluted illogical path to the Utopian Nirvana of the Democratic Party.
@Traveler
Yup. What we need to realize is that most of their voters do exactly that. No hyperbole. A plant growing in the ground is more important to them than the well being of humanity. I have seen this in real time in the state my wife and I left behind. Do not underestimate the problem that this alone represents. Anyone that thinks people will stop at pot is a certifiable moron.
We already did this many ,many decades ago when they decided legal narcotics were a bad idea. Modern, younger, cohorts seem to simply *exist* to drag us backward (see millennial ‘psychologists’ advocating for the use of hallucinogenics in treatment rather than being a grown adult with good advice for whom people heal in the presence of actual wisdom and the willingness to try). We have to do it all over again, whether we like it or not. That is no longer an ‘if’.
With age comes wisdom James, or senility!:-)
Traveler
Traveler,
Dont know what it is they are smoking but it must be some good stuff to think Harris came out in the interview as competent, confident, tough, intelligent or in control. She appeared to be way over her head and lost. No wonder her staff cut it short.
“Jesus never associated Gehenna with torment.”
_____________________________________________________
“Gehenna”
“According to the Jewish scholar David Kimhi (c. 1160-c. 1235 C.E.), the valley was later transformed into a garbage dump for the city of Jerusalem. The place served as an incinerator where fires were kept burning to dispose of rubbish. Anything thrown into this dump would be completely destroyed, turned into ashes.”
“Many Bible translators have taken the liberty of rendering Geʹen·na “hell.” (Matthew 5:22, King James Version) Why? Because they associated the pagan-inspired notion of an afterlife of fiery judgment for the wicked with the physical fire in the valley outside Jerusalem. Jesus, however, never associated Gehenna with torment.”

She doesn’t even know what the law is.
With a weaponized DOJ, Berkeley Girl doesn’t have to follow the law.
If Kamala knew about the law of diminishing returns she would cut federal government to a quarter of what it is and quit touting Bidenomiics.
