#THATS JOE BIDEN KILLED ME

[vinniedangerous]

Got Me Fucked Up (ft Saint Pat)

lyrics

Hook:

I really been tryna put the work, I’m really tryna be a better person (but ugh)/ I really been tryna put the work, I’m really tryna be a better person/But you niggas got me fucked up (Niggas Got Me Fucked Up) x4

Verse 1:

Fuck an intro nigga let’s get right to it/You mothafuckas talking down on me as if I’m stupid/Like the table you break the weed on I see right through it/Talk about me with a glass jaw, I’ll break right through it/And we watch it shatter like records & glass ceilin/It go crazy I might have to flip out for no reason/And this ain’t gone get fixed with no damn Farrakhan meetin/I’m retroactively charging niggas for unused features/This ain’t nothing personal I just don’t like to waste my time/It’s just business from the jump I’ve been bout mine/All set and done ain’t no legacy like mine/Get no love but they quick to try to sound like mine/Using the same flows videos even look like mine/But they not as creative so it comes off like a cheap imitation/But know my times coming I’m patiently waiting/Cuz when you get your break fast, you get fried with the bacon/

Verse 2 (Saint Pat):

See I been out the way cooling trying not to kill shit/But when dangerous calls i get the kill switch/Real shit i been meaning to get my vent on/Cause its alot of shit thats got me bent homes/No remorse for the fakes sneak dissing like Drake/No remorse for the snitching ass spineless snakes/Talking shit behind your back then wanna smile in your face/This my mood all year im finna give yall a taste/Let me tell you bout some niggas I was once cool with/Played ball, hit the mall, even went to school with/Hit the club, turning up, always act a fool with/Til the day I found out you too was straight bitch/Using my name just to get you some fame/Niggas still talking down like this shit is a game/Getting laughs on the book while you speak on my name/Now you finna take a loss and got nothing to gain, you got me fucked up/

Verse 3:

Went from you don’t fuck with to can’t fuck with/Even if I broke both legs you couldn’t run with/It’s funny how they throw shoots, end up the one ducking/See him in-personm hummed up now they want a discussion/So what you want to talk about ?/How you niggas don’t be running nothing but your fucking mouth/How you been fronting so long you don’t remember what you about?/How you try to get in my lane, couldn’t hang so you had to take a scenic route/Let me take it back to the beginning/Back when spittin was more important than the algorithm/Let’s take it back like Tennessee’s trying to do with Lynchin/Because even when I was at the end of my rope you niggas couldn’t hang with him/We can talk about money but we can’t talk skill/We can talk about the numbers but we can’t talk about what’s real/Niggas get online ad start wildin/See him in person and he ain’t doing shit he said like Joe Biden/

No I am not watching DNC, hell to the NO..Im sure its acting, FAKE IT TO YOU MAKE IT nonsense

I'm tired of Obama. That man is fucking greedy you had 2 terms of presidency, then in order to make your 3rd president beside the decision making scenes, you and joe somehow made it happen to install joe the award winning old man to president just so Obama and demoncrat squad can STAY IN CONTROL, IN POWER.

I guess you can say i was stupid in back in my time to think like a . demoncrat. Had that excitement of how they preach i guess the race card first black president Obama and Michelle, what a joy..but lets fast forward 8 years(obama two terms), plus 3 going to 4 years with sleepy joe biden. You get older and wiser, like you don't think about this in your early 20s, mid 20s, and come to thirty's its like a WHOLE NEW WORLD OF AGE...EEK..GETTING OLDER SUCKS AND LIKE WE GOT WORK TILL THE DAY WE DIE OR IF THE GOVT LETS US GET SOCIAL SECURITY EARLIER BUT STILL WOULDNT PAY FOR HOUSING. ETC..

its been a good decade i guess, that trump really open your eyes to see what these politicians too. It was all theater now that i think about it, they wanted to say what you wanted to hear, they would prey on the weak that the govt is thier savior. Govt would have control take your life away in an instance and make you become homeless. But trump is more like hey motherfucker imma do this on my own without your money, your fucking donors, without your puppets, and here we are.

DNC demoncrats and SQUAD--ive seen the reaction on certain platforms and orange trump social , its truly a waste of my fucking time, my fucking eyes to watch them for the whole fucking 2 hours whatever the fuck. Time is fucking valuable and I aint wasting my time and energy when i aleady know who the vote is going to..

Do a comparsion this party focus of course on the HATRED OF TRUMP, 12 YEARS FUCK RIGHT, DAMN, THEY ARE THE ONES CAUSING DIVISION, SAYING THE KKK, HE THE WHITE SUPREME LEADER, HE HITLER, HE A DICTATOR, ITS LIKE DONT YOU GUYS HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THEN FOCUS ON TRYING KILL THIS MAN WHO TELLS THE TRUTH TO WHAT YOU REALLY ARE. YOUR PARTY, DEEP STATE(SURE EVIL DEEP DEEP MORE CRAZY LIKE WE WOULD HEAR THAT IF YOU DID NOT DO SOMETHING FOR HILARY CLINTON SHE WOULD HAVE YOU KILLED, I BELIEVE SHE LOOKS LIKE THE PERSON WHO IS CAPABLE OF THAT..YET 12 YRS LATER THEY ARE NOT FOCUSED ON HELPING AMERICAN PEOPLE BUT COPYING TRUMP MESSAGE, CAUSE YOUR PARTY DOES NOT HAVE SHIT TO SAY, YOUR LEADERSHIP IS POOR, IN FOR THE MONEY AND POWER, YOUR PARTY TO KILL AMERICANS IN USA AND REPLACE THEN WITH IMMIGRANTS WHICH IS CHEAP LABOR. CORPORATE COMPANIES ARE DOING IT RIGHT NOW, MY FORMER JOB HAS OUTSOURCED ALL AMERICAN JOBS TO INDIA. so seeing all i great talented people i work with jobless, speaks volumes. PARTY STILL GOES ON ABOUT BIGOTED, LIKE WTF. WHY WOULD YOU WANT A LEADERSHIP SAYS BIGOTED COMPARED TO CRAZY, SLEEPY? at least trump name calling is childish but funny its not causing division...

time is valuable. Its not the time energy focus on liars and people who pretend like a good celebrity movie as if they are innocent babies trying to help you by saying your a bigot white racist supremacist . what about colored supremist, does that exist or they can make it up..

I worked in my previous job for a evil director, evil supervisor , evil squad of workers who talk, speak, like a demoncrat. That shit aint me, thats you fuckers, evil people who want others be silenced.

[zerokissingbooth]

need that old man (stanley pines) to , after my tshot, get me high as fuck before fingering the FUCK out of my hole . and then edge-jerking me off while complimenting how well im filling out into my manliness. perhaps calling me sweet boy. KILLING MYLSEF *remembers thats bad to say* KILLING JOE BIDEN!

[pixeljade]

okay here's the thing.

VOTING IS NOT A SHOW OF YOUR PRINCIPLES IT IS A STRATEGIC CHOICE OF WHO YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.

To answer your question, yes, I think there is a point where him bombing cities would make him a bad enough option compared to Trump, and that point would be American cities, because that impacts our ability to resist. If we're all dead or in concentration camps or prison, how the fuck are we going to resist? How the fuck are we going to tear down this system which has given us two old white genocidal assholes to choose from, and no other fucking option? Genocide Joe is a vile human being and I hope he gets [REDACTED] but the plain truth is that Trump's OPEN AND WRITTEN PLAN is to turn America into a FULL military dictatorship and throw all the "haters" and minorities into the prison slavery system. And I know you're jumping to say "But Biden is sending in the troops to destroy the encampments! He's a fascist too!" And to that I say: READ A FUCKING HISTORY BOOK BECAUSE THATS NOWHERE NEAR AS BAD AS IT CAN GET. If Donald Trump gets his way we wont just have troops shutting down campus protests, we'll have them checking our baggage for any pro-palestine material as we move between states, and throwing us uncerimoniously in prison for it. We wont just have corporations banning us for being pro-Palestine we'll have corporations telling the FBI we're pro-Palestine and them jailing or killing us. You make your comment of "Dont say But Trump!" but frankly THATS HOW ELECTIONS WORK AND IF YOU PRETEND OTHERWISE YOURE EITHER STUPID OR SO ANGRY YOU CANT THINK STRAIGHT! And if its the latter, frankly I understand, Genocide Joe should never be allowed to breathe again! But

YOUR PRINCIPLES DO NOT MATTER, ALL THAT MATTERS IS PRAXIS, AND VOTING COUNTS AS PRAXIS TOO.

Hate me all you want for it. I have more experience in activism than you, guaranteed.

alright gang, let's do a fun little thought experiment.

which city would biden have to completely annihilate before you decide not to vote for him?

for the sake of this thought experiment, let's ignore actual real-world alliances between countries. it can be london, or paris, or athens, or barcelona, or rome, or berlin, or even an american city like new york or new orleans or los angeles or honolulu. this is all a hypothetical after all.

really consider it. if you're gonna bother to yap in my notes, at least try to engage with this question in good faith. imagine opening up the news, and you see that a bomb was dropped on this city, and then the bombs never stop. imagine you had a friend there. imagine you'd had a trip planned to meet them and see the sights. imagine every museum, every historical monument, every theatre, every university destroyed. imagine that one day, you lived in a world where this city existed, and the next, it has completely ceased to be. it's effectively been pompeii-ed out of our world entirely. there is no longer a big ben, or a parthenon, or a colosseum, or what have you. there is no longer that foreign musician you loved from this city. there are no longer sweet old grannies to share old family recipes from this part of the world. there is no longer the online friend you wanted to visit. there is no longer your vacation plans.

don't hit me with, "but it's netanyahu doing this," because israel would literally run out of ammunition in weeks without the US. don't hit me with, "but trump!" because that quite literally is not the fucking question.

which city has to completely cease to exist before you even consider that this system isn't ever going to work?

if you are still planning to vote for biden, then either a) biden could drop a nuke on any city on earth and it wouldn't be a dealbreaker for you, or b) in your mind, people and places are divided into ones that are acceptable to destroy and ones that are not. or at least, there are ones that are more acceptable to destroy than others.

come up with your answer and either realize you sound like a fascist and work to change it, or embrace that you are a fascist and stop lying to us about caring about people of color.

[mothimalspaces]

i fear( usually out of anxiety, paranoia and trauma ) to make the wrong choice of who i spend my life with..

im good at handling friends cause casual conversation is one thing...

but what did i want... what do i want?

do i want a manic pixie fantasy where i run off with her and never worry about financials?? thats not healthy nor stable... but who am i not to yearn when every square inch of my visage is suffering. the internet is closing in on me like a dopaminurgic vice and it makes me want to kill it. i want to kill any internet that makes me its passive addicted victim. you are a fucking tool meant to connect and provide places for us to build.. not a psychic nightmare trap where any adhd haver loses 5 hours from a stray yt short that came next on their queue... its all fucked. im tired of getting to the bottom of things and fixing the issue because the more i dig the more skeletons i unbury.

i want to stop the car with you by the side of the road. i want to come across a view, any kind thats pretty. and i want to look at you, you know i ramble on and say the dumbest things because ultimately im still melting and always feeling like a turbonerd compared to your cool calm demeanor.

i think of places i want to hike or places i want to visit but it all seems so far away and your distance is the most notable...

i keep bouncing back and forth between the happiest memories ive accumulated and hope for better things ahead in my life and all in the meanwhile i have an OK sense of generally how to make money, a chronic case of abandonment panic, reocurring mutual paradoxical over and underachieving, able to get so much done while always never feeling like i did it all and somehow, just somehow always finding a way to do too much..

i say all this because i spend too much time watching trans girls film themselves being either esoteric or extremely fucking gay and it gets me yearning... i miss my fucking partners.. why isnt my game out and why have we not stopped literally any genocide? someone fucking minecraft joe biden

lastly all i wanna really end off on... i like grey goose and mixing that with melatonin is a good fix if you're a sad insomniac so remember..

its not you, its 4 am and you are tired of the cycles you're in, keep living.

[tell-me-my-name]

im gonna cry. my homefeed is just full of Palestinian children crying and it fckin hurts. what is israel doing? and for what?!

for land? for what? I don't understand. don't tell me its bc Hamas are terrorists or the Palestinians are attacking us. Isrrael took their land and for 75 years, terrorized them and still continue to do so with support from other countries while Palestine cannot even get aid from those who offer help.

or are they just killing them bc they are Muslims and Muslims are so-called terrorists?

For 75 years guys, 75 years, Palestine has been in war Israel and now that they make a move to protect themselves, they are 'terrorists'? I don't understand. the way some peoples mind works, its so stupid. fckin brainwashed.

I want to know why Israels actions are let go? what makes them better than Palestinians. all humans are equal and no human (s) are 'human animals' and none should be treated as so.

why are they killing them? Literally terminating them. And FOR WHAT?!

land. and so called terrorists.

goddamn.

im not trying to make anyone mad or insult anyone. im not saying israelians lives are worthless. They are getting injured too. But they have help. They have food, water, medical aid. Palestine doesn't. And that is inhumane. That is disgusting and cruel and whoever is preventing them from getting normal human necessities should be locked away.

First, they have nothing. No home, no food, no water, no aid. And then they are told to leave. Hilarious. They are told to leave. Leave where? Leave where?!

this needs to end.

both sides should peacefully end this. Make an agreement. divide the land if thats what they are fighting over.

and joe biden shouldn't be taking sides. It makes it worse. People look up to him and when he goes up and gives speeches and fuckin lies in them, he is brainwashing more and more people into thinking of innocent people who are protecting themselves as terrorists.

and people should think of this logically and not bring past events into this. all people say is that Muslims are terrorists and Hamas this and Hamas that. who cares. no one says anything when Palestinians are killed. when they have been for 75 years. ugh, it hurts. it hurts so much to see this happening. it hurts. for both sides. israelian citizens are getting killed too. they're deaths shouldn't be excused if i'm going to say that Palestinians lives shouldn't be excused. No death is right. No matter what type of person they are, they are still humans.

god this probably doesn't make sense. I just had to get it out. i just typed and typed, idk. im probably wrong on some things, idk. im sorry if offend anyone. its just rly sad to see this happening and ppl blaming Palestine when they can't even protect themself at the moment.

from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free ❣️

[walrusofdoom]

like, listen, realistically, i dont begrudge anyone for voting for Obama, and alot of people who are super active on social media right now (myself included) were too young to fully understand what he was doing and how terrible the consequences of his actions were, but now that his presidency has passed, and you are older, you have the tools and information available to show you that he did not “try his best”, if you still actively act like he was a good person, or that his presidency was a net gain, you are a fucking idiot, sorry mind my language, let me rephrase, you are a massive fucking idiot that has toenails for brains and believe if you plug your ears and refuse to think about things than that means its not real and hes just your cool meme uncle

#I’m sure the children blown to pieces in Gaza are ecstatic that Joe Biden signed the IRA bill#that makes the weapons companies making the bombs killing them have to hire another CPA to make sure they can dodge taxes properly#‘what we need is moderate voting reform! thats why we have to vote for Joe Biden!’ do you hear yourself#incomprehensible liberal nonsense

Look, either you actually get out there and start The Glorious Revolution, or you open a history book and study what happened to the previous people who tried to start Glorious Revolutions (cf the Soviet Union, the PRC, the French Revolution, Oliver Cromwell and his roundheads, Pol Pot, etc etc etc). I've done the latter. I've learned that violence begets more violence. I've learned that lasting change comes from long-term political engagement, coupled with compassion for those who see the world differently from you.

I am by no means condoning Biden's stance on Israel. I am just saying that the Democrat Party at this point has very little to lose by instituting real voting reform, because the GOP is nothing but a death-cult (who if they win, would make the Israel situation a million times worse).

My point is that engaging with the system, pushing for voting reform, and giving the Democrats the political mandate to actually make that happen would redefine the bipartisan system we live in. Even just moderate reform would sunder the GOP's chances of ever winning another election. And if we dare dream of actually extensive voting reform, we could be rid of the bipartisan system and actually feel free to vote with our conscience as the primary guide, rather than the current state of affairs where harm-reduction is pretty much the best we can do.

I do not consider myself a liberal, by the way. I'm a pretty die-hard democratic socialist. It's just that if you actually believe in democracy, you have to find a way to talk to people who think differently than you, and find ways to make incremental changes for the better, because trying to browbeat people into submitting to your point of view with insults and/or violence generally just does not work.

Since I believe in democracy, that's what I'm doing. If you also believe in democracy, we can probably have a civil discussion about how the current state of affairs sucks, and what our ideal political system would look like.

On the other hand, if you don't believe in democracy, just go ahead and block me, please.

I am not unaware of the negatives of Biden's presidency, and I am not trying to elide or forgive them. I'm reblogging posts about the Biden administration because I think it's really important that potential voters in the US realize that there is, in fact, a very big difference between the two parties, and voting for Biden is not just damage control--it actually does good. It's okay, you can actually feel a little excited about making meaningful progress, and not just hold your nose.

He's been very unflashy. He's not a great leader, he's not charismatic and he knows it, but he's an adroit politician and administrator, and he's been getting things done. Letting Trump win at this point would be tantamount to throwing the entire country on the bonfire. It's not a choice between bad and bad, it's a choice between meaningful, if imperfect, progress and fucking doom.

[thoughtsbeewild]

hmm. i think its because of Kill tony comedian comment that escalated this. If you know comedians thier jokes can be offensive or defensive to a particular audience- which makes sense that the end result will blow back from the demoncrat providing more hatred/division to USA

I mean bumbling mumbling Sleepy Biden has his whole hatred of the orange man, that will never change his mindset . Or as orange was saying to his crowd "forgiveness of What Biden said". My first thought damn orange used his leadership skills to tone it down, good fucking job. In reality, these two old men will not get along period. Just like marriage, a relationships with families, loved ones, etc...

The other side is just full of lies and full of shit. thier campaign is definitely directed toward the hatred of the orange man, the list they speak about orange getting americans, its not true. That was actually them in 2020 election, they were to gather a list of all usa citizens who voted, rallied against them and take revenge. I remember it was Nancy pelosi agenda, she was fucking pissed at us..

LETS REWIND 4 YEARS BACK,,,take it back to 2020 refresher fast forward, they succeed, right with the masssive layoffs, toxic leadership, using DEI or the color of your skin in companies for promotion title change, inflation, high rent, homelessness, you got high crime, you have POWER OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND CELEBRITY WOKE PUPPETS UNDER YOUR POWER/CONTROL TO MESSAGE TO THIER BILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS TO HATE AMERICANS AGAINST EACHOTHER BECAUSE THEY DONT FOLLOW YOUR MORALE, YOUR PRINCIPLE, YOUR METHOD OF CHOICE, THAT MAKES OTHER SIDE BAD, THAT DEMONCRATS, BIDEN, KAMELA RESORT TO THIER LOWEST LEVEL TO DIVIDE UNITED STATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES. YET WHEN ORANGE GOT SHOT THEY SAID CONDOMN, DO NOT INCITE VIOLENCE, HERE YOU ARE SAYING HITLER, NAZI, ORANGE SUPPORTERS ARE TRASH, YOU ARE USING YOUR PUPPETS HUMAN VULNERABILITY AGAINST THEM WITH VIDEOS, CELEBRITY, WHOLE NINE. YOUR MAIN PURPOSE IS WE KNOW TAKE DOWN THE ORANGE MAN MAN..

Some comedians are not funny..I HAVE SEEN KILL TONY WITH SHANE and impersonator biden,,, TO BE HONEST THEY ARE NOT FUNNY AND OFFENSIVE..IVE SEEN BETTER COMEDIANS THAT CAN APPEAL TO ALL AUDIENCES WITHOUT ANYONE TAKING OFFENSE.

I ATTEMPTED TO WATCH JOE ROGAN, THE BOATS, THAT WAS NOT FUNNY AT ALL FOR SOME REASON. I I FELT THAT is not HIS GREATEST SKILL AND WHILE WATCHING LIKE YELLING AT THE SCREEN WHY IS THIS MAN YELLING AS COMEDIAN, IT WAS A HARD TO WATCH HIS NETFLIX SHOW(BRUTAL), I MADE IT THROUGH..I THINK JOE ROGAN IS BETTER AS A PODCASTER or host at UFC match NOT COMEDIAN PER SE..

I did also attempt to watch kill Tony with Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan as guest, it was not funny. For the life of me, when tucker Carlson guest at kill Tony show he was laughing so hard on the show, which made no damn sense..Maybe I’m picky and selective of good comedians who can engage with all audiences of all personalities. That what you do in a leadership role, you work with all kinds right..

JUST LIKE SOME ACTORS ARE NOT GOOD IN CERTAIN GENRE WHICH THEY SHOULD STICK TO ACTION OR COMEDY..

I think bringing out Kill Tony at a repeat RNC show lol, was that a good choice? Maybe watch his shows first before putting someone in political scene...because you have look at bigger picture the entire audience, unfortunately on trump management that was not looked at ..oh well mistakes happen, shit happens, lesson learned right..

THATS ON ORANGE MANAGEMENT TEAM FOR THAT BLOW BACK, u should know better when putting a comedian in political fight to win the usa president..

Day 284: Saturday October 10, 2020 - “WMHD”

I was bonked today pretty good - it happens from time to time... and those are always the hardest days to post.   Depression does that - steals the opportunity to find gratitude, while swiping the inspiration to get up and doing something noteworthy.  The helpful twist of 2020 though, with all the opportunity and excuse out there to trip me up, I’ve learned to manage these days far better. IN February, I started to take Anti-Depressants, and I never imagined the difference it made for me.  I regret not giving into to it sooner, I would have myself some rocky weeks and difficult seasons; but thats all behind me now.  Now i have days here and there but I bounce back pretty well.   I figure its all part of my self-discovery, that took me years to come to it, be honest about it, and transparent about it. 

At the end of a lazy Saturday fueled by my black-ass, I saw a post from Joe Biden posting about World Mental Health Day.  I had had no hint that such a thing existed, and that it occurs on October 10th each day organized by WHO.   It gave me a little lift reading about it, and reading about this year’s theme being about access for all.  I searched for and found NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness) and donated $86.40 (00) in honor of the sun coming up every day, and as a toast to this bonked day where there was “nothing else to be grateful for” other than to still be here, doing the best I can.

No more than you would be for a tumor.” ― Patrick Ness, The Rest of Us Just Live Here

Welcome to a weekly collaboration between FiveThirtyEight and ABC News. With 5,000 people seemingly thinking about challenging President Trump in 2020 — Democrats and even some Republicans — we’re keeping tabs on the field as it develops. Each week, we’ll run through what the potential candidates are up to — who’s getting closer to officially jumping in the ring and who’s getting further away.

Although there was a lot of attention this week in the media on whether major names like Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke will get into the Democratic presidential race, candidates who have already been on the official campaign trail staked out positions on big issues that have been in the news. Although Democrats are generally unified on immigration — denouncing President Trump’s proposed border wall — fractures are forming around “Medicare-for-all” proposals and the “Green New Deal.” Progressive candidates have faced some pushback from the field’s centrists, who believe that their aims could be achieved in a more incremental fashion.

Here’s the weekly candidate roundup:

Feb. 8-14, 2019

Stacey Abrams (D) On Friday, Abrams is visiting Washington, where she will deliver a speech at the Democratic National Committee’s Winter Meeting and participate in a discussion about race and political power in the United States at the Brookings Institution. Michael Bennet (D) The Colorado senator hinted at a presidential run during an appearance on “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “We’ve got a million people that are going to run, which I think is great,” he said. “I think having one more voice in that conversation that’s focused on America’s future, I don’t think would hurt.”

Bennet discussed his diverse professional background as one of the ways he was different from the field’s current candidates, citing his time in business and as Denver Public Schools superintendent.

On policy, he joined many Democrats in supporting a public health care option but said that such a plan did not necessarily mean that private insurance should be eliminated. Joe Biden (D) The Washington Post reported Thursday that Biden was still undecided about a presidential campaign, noting that he originally intended to decide by the end of 2018.

On Wednesday, CNBC wrote that Biden is signaling to several Democratic donors that he is leaning toward joining the presidential field but that his decision is not yet final.

The former vice president eulogized the late Rep. John Dingell on Tuesday, saying that the longtime Michigan congressman was one of only a few people he “looked up to.”

“He gave me confidence,” Biden said. “He made me believe more in myself more than I had. John had that special capacity to do so. Because when you are with him, you knew you were with greatness.” Michael Bloomberg (D) The billionaire former New York City mayor is prepared to spend at least $500 million during the presidential campaign cycle to defeat Trump, Politico reported Wednesday.

“That’ll get us through the first few months,” said Kevin Sheekey, one of Bloomberg’s top aides, noting that Bloomberg put $100 million into his last mayoral election.

Last Friday, Bloomberg told The Associated Press that he would reach a decision on a presidential run by the end of February and pushed back on speculation that he would not run if Biden launched a campaign. “My decision doesn’t depend on what other people are going to do,” he said. “My decision depends on whether or not I think I can make a difference.” Cory Booker (D) Booker visited Iowa and South Carolina during his first weekend on the campaign trail as a declared presidential candidate. In Iowa, the New Jersey senator continued to pitch his theme of unity and optimism to voters. In South Carolina, he addressed racial discrimination, saying that the country needed a leader who is “telling the truth about racism, not participating in racist statements, demeaning and degrading people like we’re seeing now.”

In an interview with MSNBC on Tuesday, Booker said that if he wins the Democratic nomination, he will “be looking to women first” when he considers a running mate. “I believe there should be a woman president right now, and I worked very hard to get one,” he said. “We have such a great field of leaders. I think that you will rarely see a Democratic ticket anymore without gender diversity, race diversity.”

This weekend, Booker will be in New Hampshire for six events across the state. Sherrod Brown (D) Brown said that he’s “not ready to jump” into the presidential race during a Christian Science Monitor breakfast Tuesday. But he has given himself a March deadline to come to a “joint decision” with his wife, journalist Connie Schultz.

The Ohio senator rolled out two bills Wednesday with Democratic colleagues on Capitol Hill: The first is a “cost-of-living refund,” which would double the Earned Income Tax Credit; the second would lower the Medicare eligibility age to 50, allowing people to buy in voluntarily. Steve Bullock (D) The Montana governor will visit Iowa this weekend. Bullock has said that he is unlikely to make a public announcement about whether he will launch a campaign until later in the spring, after Montana’s state legislative session. Pete Buttigieg (D) The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, joined MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday morning for a lightning round of questions on where he sits on the ideological spectrum. “I consider myself a pretty strong progressive, but I don’t consider the left-center spectrum to be the most useful way to look at our politics right now,” he said.

Last weekend, Buttigieg made his first trip to Iowa since announcing his presidential exploratory committee. While there, he shared his support for “Medicare-for-all” and the Green New Deal (which seeks to make massive public investments to combat climate change) while continuing to play up his military background and executive experience.

In an interview with New York magazine, Buttigieg expanded on how his local experiences could be helpful in the Oval Office, using South Bend’s sewer system as an example. “They’re so important that we make sure they work basically all of the time. Which is why you never think of them — that’s kind of the point,” he said. “But it’s not that different from national security. It’s like I say, the more freedom [people experience], the less they think about it.”

In both the New York magazine story and an interview with CNN, Buttigieg was critical of the social views of Vice President Mike Pence (a former Indiana governor and U.S. House member), saying to CNN that “politically [Pence] is a fanatic and he damaged our city and our state through choices that his social extremism led him to make.” Julian Castro (D) In a CNN interview Saturday, Castro said that even though he knows his candidacy has “special meaning for the Latino community,” his message is intended to be all-encompassing. “I’m also aware that I have to have policy proposals and a vision that includes everybody,” said Castro, who is a former mayor of San Antonio and served as the secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Obama administration. Bill de Blasio (D) De Blasio was scheduled to visit New Hampshire on Friday, renewing speculation that the New York City mayor is contemplating a presidential campaign. But he canceled the trip after a New York City police detective was killed during a robbery Tuesday. John Delaney (D) The former Maryland congressman spent the first half of the week in New Hampshire, his 14th trip to the state. He opened an office in Manchester and attended a “politics and eggs” breakfast at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics — one of 10 events in three days.

Delaney broke with several other Democratic presidential contenders by revealing that he was opposed to the Green New Deal. Tulsi Gabbard (D) During her first visit to Iowa as a presidential candidate, the U.S. House member from Hawaii and National Guard major touted her dedication to service and outlined her views on foreign policy, responding to criticism over her recent comments about Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. In Iowa, she said he was a “brutal dictator” but said that she didn’t feel the United States should be “the world’s police.” Kirsten Gillibrand (D) Gillibrand toured South Carolina, with seven stops across the state, from Friday through Sunday, including meetings with Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin, who leads the National Conference of Mayors, and a group of women leaders.

The New York Times highlighted Gillibrand’s “feminist campaign” Tuesday, describing how advocacy for women has already become a centerpiece of her candidacy and one that differentiates her from fellow female Sens. Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren thus far.

This weekend, Gillibrand is again visiting New Hampshire for a collection of meet-and-greets, walking tours and town halls, after having traveled to the Granite State just two weeks ago. Kamala Harris (D) Harris attracted headlines Monday after she admitted during a New York radio interview to having smoked marijuana in college. “I did inhale,” the California senator said. “It was a long time ago, but yes.”

The remarks came during a larger discussion about marijuana, during which Harris said it wasn’t true that she opposes its legalization. She said that she supports legalization but has “concerns” and that its effects on users should be researched. John Hickenlooper (D) The former Colorado governor visited New Hampshire on Wednesday and Thursday and said he’s going to decide on a presidential run in the next “six weeks.”

During his stop at a Manchester house party, Hickenlooper joked about his unusual surname and how it taught him in his childhood how to “deal with bullies” — a reference to how he would approach running against Trump.

Hickenlooper added that he still wants to learn more about the Green New Deal and criticized Trump’s proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border while also saying that there are “border security issues” to solve. Eric Holder (D) After a speech at Drake University in Iowa on Tuesday, Holder, a former U.S. attorney general, said he would reach a decision on a presidential run in the next three to four weeks. “I’m concerned about the direction of the country,” Holder said. “I think I’ve got some ideas and visions that I think would be useful to the nation.”

On the issues, Holder said that the U.S. was “at a point where we should think seriously about [marijuana] legalization” and that he supports the Green New Deal, labeling it “our generation’s moonshot.” Amy Klobuchar (D) Klobuchar launched her presidential campaign Sunday during a snowy outdoor event in Minneapolis. She outlined her humble political roots and described her motivations for getting into the race. “I’m running for every parent who wants a better world for their kids,” she said. “I’m running for every student who wants a good education. For every senior who wants affordable prescription drugs. For every worker, farmer, dreamer, builder. For every American. I’m running for you.”

In an appearance Monday on “Good Morning America,” the Minnesota senator defended herself against allegations that she was abusive toward her Senate staff, conceding that she is “tough” and “push[es] people” but said that it was because she holds “high expectations.”

She mocked the president after he, referring to her kickoff rally, tweeted that it was “bad timing” that she was “talking proudly of fighting global warming while standing in a virtual blizzard of snow, ice and freezing temperatures.”

“I’m sorry if it still snows in the world,” Klobuchar said on “Good Morning America” on Monday. “But the point is that we know climate change is happening.”

Next Monday, Klobuchar will participate in a CNN town hall in New Hampshire. She will then travel to Iowa on Thursday. Jeff Merkley (D) Merkley is “still exploring” a run for president, he told Northwest Labor Press this week. The Oregon senator denied that his decision will be based on whether Bernie Sanders, whom he endorsed in 2016, decides to run. Seth Moulton (D) After telling BuzzFeed News on Monday that he is thinking about running for president, Moulton confirmed the sentiment publicly Tuesday during question-and-answer sessions after a foreign policy speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.

“I’m thinking about running for president,” Moulton said in the BuzzFeed interview. “I’m not definitely running, but I’m going to take a very hard look at it. A very serious look at it. Because I believe it’s time for a new generation of leadership, and we gotta send Donald Trump packing.”

The Massachusetts congressman added that his decision will not be based on who else launches campaigns, saying that he doesn’t “look at this as a horse race.” Beto O’Rourke (D) As Trump held a campaign rally in El Paso, Texas, O’Rourke defended his hometown during a protest march Monday, criticizing the president for his rhetoric on immigration. “We are making a stand for the truth, against lies and hate and ignorance and intolerance,” O’Rourke said. “El Paso has been the safest city in the United States of America not in spite of the fact that we’re a city of immigrants but because we are a city of immigrants.”

Trump mentioned O’Rourke during his event, referring to the former U.S. House member as “a young man who’s got very little going for himself, except he’s got a great first name.”

Politico reported Wednesday that O’Rourke met with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to discuss a possible run for Senate against Texas Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican, in 2020. Tim Ryan (D) Ryan is “seriously considering” a presidential run, he said on CNN’s “Erin Burnett Outfront” on Wednesday.

The Ohio congressman, perhaps best known for his 2016 challenge to Nancy Pelosi to lead House Democrats, added that he doesn’t “feel any pressure for any timeline at this point.”

“The country is divided,” Ryan said. “We can’t get anything done because of these huge divisions that we have, and people in communities like the ones I represent … are suffering because of this division. You can’t win the future divided.” Bernie Sanders (D) Sanders is leaning toward announcing a presidential campaign by the end of February, Fox News reported Thursday, citing two sources close to the Vermont senator.

Earlier in the week, amid the controversy that engulfed Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat, over a tweet interpreted to be anti-Semitic, Sanders called the freshman congresswoman to offer his support, The Daily Beast reported. Howard Schultz (I) The former Starbucks CEO continued to face criticism from Democrats over his potential independent bid for president, and Schultz returned the favor, discussing his misgivings with both Democrats and Republicans at a CNN town hall Tuesday. “Both parties today on the far left and the far right are more interested in partisan politics, revenge politics,” Schultz said. “I think we could be doing so much better than we are.”

During the event, Schultz acknowledged that his “business experience is not qualification to run for president.” But he argued that he could bring a pragmatic, results-focused approach to combating problems like climate change and economic inequality. Elizabeth Warren (D) Warren officially jumped into the 2020 race, announcing her candidacy for president at a rally in Lawrence, Massachusetts, last Saturday. Before a crowd of 3,500 supporters packed into Everett Mills — the site of one of the most famous labor strikes that catalyzed massive changes to labor rules — Warren said: “Millions and millions and millions of American families are also struggling to survive in a system that has been rigged by the wealthy and the well-connected. Hard-working people are up against a small group that holds far too much power. … Like the women of Lawrence, we are here to say enough is enough!”

Warren took the stage to Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” before making her official announcement and kicking off a tour through early-voting states. She made her debut as a presidential candidate in Dover, New Hampshire, before heading to Iowa on Sunday. She continues on to South Carolina, Georgia, Nevada and California this weekend. Bill Weld (R) Weld, the former governor of Massachusetts and 2016 Libertarian vice presidential candidate, is attending a New Hampshire Institute of Politics “politics and eggs” event on Friday.

Citing Republican sources, WMUR reported Wednesday that Weld’s remarks at the event will include a “substantial move toward a challenge to President Trump.” Weld recently re-registered in Massachusetts as a member of the Republican Party. Marianne Williamson (D) Williamson, a popular self-help author and one-time congressional candidate, was profiled by ABC News’s “Nightline” this week. She explained her desire to get into the presidential race, despite her lack of political experience.

“I think what we need in the White House is more a visionary than just a political mechanic,” she said. “America is morally off course. … More than anything else in America today, we need a moral and spiritual awakening.”

“We need an awakening of American minds,” Williamson added. “Show me any traditional politician who’s had a 35-year career at that kind of awakening. That’s a skill set. That’s experience. That’s expertise. And I believe it is a qualification that would — you would do very well to put in the White House.” Andrew Yang (D) Yang is spending his own money to demonstrate his proposed “Freedom Dividend,” a form of universal basic income that would pay all Americans 18 years or older $1,000 per month. One family each in Iowa and New Hampshire are already receiving $1,000 per month from the entrepreneur, according to CBS News.

A Note About Room Numbering

2020 Election: GOP maintains control of Texas House of Representatives | KVUE

The three primary House office buildingsCannon, Longworth and Rayburnshare a room numbering system for above-ground rooms that might confuse visitors at first.; The system is fairly straight forward and can be used to identify most member and committee offices merely by knowing the correct room number regardless of building.

All Cannon above-ground rooms are three digits.; As you would expect, the first digit indicates the floor level.; For example, 303 Cannon is on the 3rd floor.

All above-ground Longworth rooms are four digits and start with the number 1.; The second digit from the left indicates the floor.; For example, 1309 is on the third floor of the Longworth building.

All above-ground Rayburn rooms are also four digits, but start with a 2. The second digit indicates the floor number. For example, 2125 is on the first floor of Rayburn.

Here Are All Of The House Republicans Who Voted To Impeach Donald Trump

Ten members of the GOP joined with Democrats in the vote.

President Donald Trump impeached for ‘incitement of insurrection’

The House of Representatives has voted to impeach President Donald Trump — making him the only president in American history to be impeached twice.

Unlike his first impeachment in 2019, 10 Republicans joined Democrats to charge Trump for the “incitement of insurrection” for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol with a final vote of 232-197.

Some Republicans may have feared for their own safety if they voted for impeachment, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of those who voted against Trump, said. Kinzinger told ABC’s “Powerhouse Politics” podcast that some members of his party are likely holding back from voting for impeachment due to fear of highlighting their own participation in supporting the president’s false claims of election fraud.

Democrat Jason Crow, of Colorado, relayed similar thoughts in an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday morning.

“I had a lot of conversations with my Republican colleagues last night, and a couple of them broke down in tears talking to me and saying that they are afraid for their lives if they vote for this impeachment,” he said.

Here is a list of the 10 Republicans who took a stance against Trump:

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill.“It’s not going to be some ‘Kumbaya moment’ on the floor — it’s going to be an awakening by the American people to hold their leaders accountable to their rhetoric,”

Changes To House Rules

After Democrats took control of the House in the 116th Congress, they voted to change some rules from the previous session of Congress when Republicans were in control. Some of the changes appear below.

PAYGO: Democrats approved PAYGO, a provision that requires legislation that would increase the deficit to be offset by spending cuts or revenue increases.

Ethics: Democrats made changes to House ethics rules that required all House members to take ethics training, not just new members. The rules also required members to reimburse taxpayers for settlements that that result from a members discrimination of someone based on race, religion, sex, national origin, or disability, among other things. Lawmakers were also prohibited from sitting on corporate boards.

Climate change committee: Democrats created a new climate change committee to address the issue. The committee was not given subpoena power or the ability to bring bills to the floor.

A full explanation of the rules changes can be viewed here.

Tim Scott Only Black Gop Senator Set To Respond To Biden

WASHINGTON Tim Scott, the only Black Republican senator, is often happy to dart past Capitol Hill reporters without saying much. This time, he and the spotlight have found each other.

Brought up by a single mother who worked backbreaking hours as a nursing assistant, the 55-year-old Scott has spent a decade in Congress representing South Carolina. Now, the lawmaker who combines a willingness to address racial questions with an advocacy of vintage conservative themes such as opportunity and optimism is giving his partys nationally televised response to President Joe Bidens Wednesday night address to Congress.

Scott also is the lead GOP negotiator as the two parties seek an accord on legislation overhauling police procedures. The issue has long eluded compromise despite national attention fanned by last years killing of George Floyd, a Black man, and this months conviction of a former Minneapolis police officer in his slaying.

You figure out who your audience is, you figure out what you want to say and you try and find a way to say it well, Scott told reporters Tuesday about his speech preparations. And you lean into who you are.

GOP leaders choíce of Scott to answer Biden comes at a tense political moment.

Scott, from North Charleston, South Carolina, nearly dropped out of high school. He tells of a life-changing turnabout after befriending a businessman who became a mentor and stressed the value of hard work.

About Legislative Sessions In Colorado

The Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution declares that any power not already given to the federal government is reserved to the states and the people. State governments across the country use this authority to hold legislative sessions where a states elected representatives meet for a period of time to draft and vote on legislation and set state policies on issues such as taxation, education, and government spending. The different types of legislation passed by a legislature may include resolutions, legislatively referred constitutional amendments, and bills that become law.

Article V of the Colorado Constitution establishes when the Colorado General Assembly, of which the House is a part, is to be in session. Section 7 of Article V states that the Assembly is to convene its regular session no later than the second Wednesday of January of each year. Regular sessions are not to exceed one hundred twenty calendar days.

Section 7 also states that the Governor of Colorado can convene special sessions of the General Assembly. Special sessions can also be convened by a two-thirds vote of the members of both legislative houses.

The Impact Of Partisan Gerrymandering

Once a decade, every state redraws its electoral districts, determining which people will be represented by each politician. In many states, this means that politicians gather behind computer screens to figure out how they can manipulate the lines to box out their competition and maximize the power of their political party. While an increasing number of states employ independent commissions to draw district lines, the large majority still lack safeguards to prevent partisan favoritism in the redistricting processalso known as partisan gerrymandering.

It has been almost a decade since the 2010 cycle of redistricting, and the country is still reckoning with the impact. Last May, the Center for American Progress published a report that found that unfairly drawn congressional districts shifted, on average, a whopping 59 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives during the 2012, 2014, and 2016 elections. That means that every other November, 59 politicians that would not have been elected based on statewide voter support for their party won anyway because the lines were drawn in their favoroften by their allies in the Republican or Democratic Party.

Thats democracyelected officials who represent and are accountable to the people. The numbers show that representation in the United States is far from fair, but with straightforward policy changes, citizens can have maps that are fair.

In House Of Representatives An Arithmetic Problem

A variety of smart political observers have suggested that the markets are misreading the situation. Instead, they say, the failure of Mr. Boehners bill makes a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff more likely because it has now become clear that any deal will need to rely upon the support of at least some Democrats, which could ease passage through the Democratic-controlled Senate.

Perhaps this is correct. Mr. Boehner has said that the White House and Senator Harry Reid, the majority leader, will now have to take the lead in negotiations. The chance that a fiscal deal will be secured on terms that Democrats find favorable may have increased.

But the chance that there will not be a deal at all may also have increased, or at least not one before protracted negotiations that could harm the economy. The difficulty is in finding any winning coalition of votes in the House of Representatives.

In the diagram below, Ive charted the major coalitions in the incoming 113th Congress, which will convene on Jan. 3. The new House of Representatives will have 233 Republicans and 200 Democrats. Two seats remain vacant, which means that 217 of 433 votes will be required to pass a bill.

South Carolina House Of Representatives Elections 2012

See also: South Carolina State Senate elections, 2012 and State legislative elections, 2012

South Carolinas 2012 legislative elections were marred by a series of events that eventually led to nearly 250 candidates being removed from the primary ballot. Here is a brief timeline of those events, followed by a detailed account of what happened.

Deadline for candidates to file a required statement of economic interest. Many candidates from both parties fail to do so.

Week of April 16: The State Ethics Commission gives candidates an additional 10 days to turn in the form. Democrats call the decision unfair while Republicans say that they are okay with it.

May 2: The South Carolina Supreme Court rules any candidate who did not file the form must be removed from the ballot. Calls for a rehearing are denied.

May 9: While the Senate attempts to pass legislation to allow challengers back on ballot, attorney Todd Kincannon requests a delay in the primary. Both efforts fail.

Primaries take place as scheduled.

Additional filing time

Republicans said they were fine with the commissions decision.

Elections to the U.S. House were held on . All 435 seats were up for election.

In 2010, 54 incumbents lost to challengers in the general election with Republicans swinging 63 total seats in their favor.

Number Of House Members Per State

Unlike the U.S. Senate, which consists of two members from each state, the geographic makeup of the House is determined by the population of each state. The only stipulation spelled out in the U.S. Constitution comes in Article I, Section 2, which guarantees each state, territory or district at least one representative.

The Constitution also states that there can be no more than one representative in the House for every 30,000 citizens.

The number of representatives each state gets in the House of Representatives is based on population. That process, known as reapportionment, occurs every 10 years after the decennial population count conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau.

U.S. Rep. William B. Bankhead of Alabama, an opponent of the legislation, called the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929 an abdication and surrender of vital fundamental powers. One of the functions of Congress, which created the census, was to adjust the number of seats in Congress to reflect the number of people living in the United States, he said.

An Incoming Class Of History

Several of the newly elected state representatives are making history.;

The Republican Madison Cawthorn, 25, who beat the Democrat Moe Davis to represent North Carolinas 11th Congressional District, will become the youngest member of Congress in modern history.

The Democrat Cori Bush is set to become the first Black congresswoman from Missouri after winning in the states 1st Congressional District.

The Democrats Mondaire Jones and Ritchie Torres will also be the first openly gay Black men to serve in Congress, after winning in New Yorks 17th and 15th districts respectively.

And nine out of the eleven Republicans who have so far unseated incumbent Democrats are women wins that will drastically expand the representation of women and especially of women of color in the House Republican caucus.

Currently, there are just 13 voting female Republican representatives in the House and 11 female Republican incumbents who ran for reelection in 2020.

Republicans Can Win The Next Elections Through Gerrymandering Alone

Even if voting patterns remain the same, Republicans could still win more seats in Congress through redistricting

In Washington, the real insiders know that the true outrages are whats perfectly legal and that its simply a gaffe when someone accidentally blurts out something honest.

And so it barely made a ripple last week when a Texas congressman said aloud whats supposed to be kept to a backroom whisper: Republicans intend to retake the US House of Representatives in 2022 through gerrymandering.

We have redistricting coming up and the Republicans control most of that process in most of the states around the country, Representative Ronny Jackson told a conference of religious conservatives. That alone should get us the majority back.

Hes right. Republicans wont have to win more votes next year to claim the US House.

In fact, everyone could vote the exact same way for Congress next year as they did in 2020 when Democratic candidates nationwide won more than 4.7m votes than Republicans and narrowly held the chamber but under the new maps that will be in place, the Republican party would take control.

If Republicans aggressively maximize every advantage and crash through any of the usual guardrails and they have given every indication that they will theres little Democrats can do. And after a 2019 US supreme court decision declared partisan gerrymandering a non-justiciable political issue, the federal courts will be powerless as well.

Cheney Ousted By Us House Republicans But Will Seek Re

WASHINGTON, May 12 – House of Representatives Republicans on Wednesday ejected Liz Cheney from their leadership ranks as punishment for repudiating former U.S. President Donald Trumps false claims of a stolen election, but she remained defiant and made plans to seek re-election to Congress.

Her ouster from her party’s No. 3 post in the Democratic-led House unfolded in mere minutes in a closed-door meeting. The action signaled that Trump, despite losing to Democrat Joe Biden in November, has solidified his hold over House Republicans as he jockeys to play a major role in the 2022 congressional elections and flirts with running for president again in 2024.

Cheney’s decision, disclosed by a spokesperson, to seek re-election next year for a fourth two-year term as the lone House member representing Wyoming appears to set the stage for a clash between competing factions in a Republican Party facing a moment of reckoning over its future – either following Trump’s lead or finding a new path. Six Republicans already have lined up to challenge her in a heavily Republican state that Trump won with about 70 percent of the vote last year.

After her removal, Cheney came out swinging, telling reporters moments later that she would lead the fight to bring her party back to “fundamental principles of conservatism.”

“We must go forward based on truth. We cannot both embrace the big lie and embrace the Constitution,” Cheney said.

‘HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING’

Arguments For Expanding The Number Of House Members

Advocates;for increasing the number of seats in the House say such a move would increase the quality of representation by reducing the number of constituents each lawmaker represents. Each House member now represents about 710,000 people.

The group ThirtyThousand.org argues that the framers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights never intended for the population of each congressional district to exceed 50,000 or 60,000. “The principle of proportionally equitable representation has been abandoned,” the group argues.

Another argument for increasing the size of the House is that is would diminish the influence of lobbyists. That line of reasoning assumes that lawmakers would be more closely connected to their constituents and therefore less likely to listen to special interests.

Does she really think I’m stupid or forgetful like her dumbass? Maybe she needs to spend more time focusing on her work or maybe they need give her more shit to do cause I’m busy as fuck with no damn breaks…Since she has too much fucking time spitin nonsense, it’s like damn demoncrats leadership pays lazy toxic women start drama and more work for everyone. How does this benefit the company, the environment, the culture , the morale, value of respect or success? Why do companies like this pay money/salary to these lazy fucking women running receiving company money, time . Why are these fucking liberal women valuable for a fucking paycheck? When there other of talented women who strive for success, the dream…

She still hired with a paycheck because she’s a big ass kisser, she kiss that ass so hard, she will bow down like nbc, abc, cnn talking like an fake ass angel of joy to pump mgt to keeping her job..with fake lies, fake everything like a true puppet..just how big mainstream media is pumping Kamala Harris with lies, they need there job..just like Kamala Joe Biden, he president, she can’t speak bad or tell truth during this election, just like woke celebrity on contract with agency, they don’t want lose their money..same shit applies..
