She's educated and smart, but in way over her head.

Kamala as Atty Gen of Calif had to oversee more than 4,500 lawyers, investigators,
sworn peace officers, and other employees..... hmm, "uneducated"?''
Call her something else - but that one doesn't fit.
I thought Kamala showed amazing restraint, which had to be the result of her years as a prosecutor. Had the debate not been moderated, she would have taken Pence apart like a wood chipper eats a pine limb and had him screaming and running home to Mother. He was obviously way out of his weight class.

Not her fault. They didn't issue her a blowgun to maintain order.

Hahahahaha, takes a lotta guts to say something like that on an open forum, my friend!
She is a tough cookie...a dunce? I should say not.


Blowgun - that's what the Mods need!

So true. She is no shrinking violet. I was hoping she would get a shot at Trump but this was okay. Next election we should have a tag team match. But, at least we won't have Pence to kick around any more. He was hoping for the Rapture right then and there.

All of these guys...Pence, Graham, especially McConnell, Cruz, and others -- spend their life trying to get elected and have to raise many millions to keep their seat. They hope to make a positive and useful contribution in Congress. They spend fortunes and make unholy alliances with donors and lobbyists and special interests just to end up kissing Trump's butt. What a disgrace this has been. Shame on them.

And oh, the humanity. Pence was obviously bugged. That was a trained fly -- a cadaver fly. It may have done him a favor by directing attention away from his droopy bloodshot eye and his lying responses. If he turns up infected with Covid in a day or two I won't be surprised. Will they even say?

Why would you call out Republicans but not Democrats?

The longest serving senators and congressmen have largely been Democrats.

Robert Byrd (Joe Biden’s “mentor and friend” and KKK leader) was a senator for 51 YEARS.
Daniel Inouye, 49 years
Ted Kennedy, 46 years


John Dingell, congressman, 59 years
Jamie Whitten, congressman, 53 years
John Conyers, congressman, 52 years
Carl Vinson, congressman, 50 years
Sam Rayburn, 48 years

All top 7 longest serving congressmen are Democrats.


Current crop:

Patrick Lehay, 45 years
Joe Biden, senate plus VP: 44 years
Nancy Pelosi, 33 years
Dianne Feinstein, 28 years


Do you honestly believe all these senators and congressmen on the Democrat side have not
made “unholy alliances”? Do you honestly think that they are above reproach? Perhaps over 40 to 50 years they might have made back door deals?

There's 7+ billion people on earth, you won't get a vaccine for a very long time.

There's billions of people who don't even have routine vaccines.

I've looked at other videos of Kamala including when she had back and forths with Judge Kavanaugh and Attorney General Sessions, and I'm not very impressed at all in her speaking voice, tone, etc.

Now I realize why her general tone and speaking mannerisms was such a turn off to me last night. I'm sure I read before about what a dynamic speaker she was and all, but I sure didn't see it. She has this almost nasaly, shaky voice that doesn't project power.

And how disappointing, but utterly predictable, that she threw the stale "suckers and losers" and not denouncing white suprmacists nonsense at Pence. I'm like, who freaking cares already.
