Kamala Harris’s Track Record: Big Spending, Wokeness, Equity and Flip Flops

[commonsensecommentary]

“The fantastic—and profoundly damaging—Faustian bargain of total security in exchange for total control that has been the premise for the incredible growth of government and government oversight over the past century is coming to a close both because we cannot afford it and its false promise has been exposed.” (From my blog archive)

Biden’s New Ideas: More Taxes, More Spending

DAN MCLAUGHLIN | MAR 8 2024

Meet the new Bidenomics, same as the old Bidenomics.

Joe Biden is trailing in the polls. Voters overwhelmingly believe he’s too old for the job. Soaring inflation is crippling ordinary families. The border is wide open. Public safety is at an all-time low. So, what was this administration’s big, shiny idea for Thursday’s State of the Union address?

Tax hikes and yet more government handouts! Our 81-year-old President couldn’t be less original if he was stumbling up Air Force One.

There's a shared non-American-internet-user experience in realising sometime in early adulthood that a social security number isn't your problem.

Good question.

i find it hard to get jazzed about harris' proposal to tax the rich if said tax dollars are going to fund more cops and bomb more Palestinians. i don't think it actually helps the working class if the rich are taxed and that money doesn't go towards making our lives better.

I rly want a tablet that I can just take with me on the go but idk where to start and everything is so expensive. It’s either some fancy iPad or Samsung tablet and I just… maybe I’ll be stuck to my laptop forever and ever 🚬. Apple is as money hungry as ever. The stylus pens are like, $100+ and don’t even come with the iPads lmfao. At least the Samsung ones do. It would just be nice to be able to change up some things and draw away from my laptop. It’ll force me to use other programs as well since I’ve been a SAI girl since I was a kid and never got used to using any other programs tbh. Who else is doing it like SAI………

the other day my friend asked me "would you rather live a long and boring life or a short and exciting one?" and my answer, that left my mouth before i even thought of it, was "i guess it depends on who i was living it with."

ive never considered myself much of a romantic but i think that needs to change.

I think I'm done trying to deal with right wingers, cause they live in a whole nother fucking world and I don't have the patience. They can come to me when they stop supporting the obvious fucking Nazi.

I keep seeing them freaking out over shit that USAID was spending what is effectively chump change on, like it is some massive source of fraud. First, I don't think that word means what they think it means. Second, all of the shit they are freaking out about seems like a good thing. Like, I'm happy we are trying to fight disease in Africa, or promoting sexual health abroad, or trying to make the world less sexist.

scoundrel?? what scoundrel???? the magnificent mr cards (who ironically has more of a flower aesthetic going on) is completely unrelated to any "bandaged scoundrels" running around the neath. in fact it's never heard of the word scoundrel ever in its entire definitely long definitely ancient life. but yknow, hypothetically, if it did know the scoundrel, it's confident that they're really really really handsome and cool and epic and they're almost just as amazing as it is and you should totally donate all your valuables to them and stuff

aaand because i like them too much, have a transparent version. the Creachure. the Thing, even.

Adventurer Zenos and G'raha cause I had to draw my silly guys. I just enjoy the idea of Zenos hanging out with fellow bookworms and being begrudgingly (though occasionally willingly) helpful.
