Harris Hits The Ground Running
Vice President Kamala Harris is now the presumptive presidential nominee of the Democratic Party. She clinched this status yesterday, only a little more than 24 hours after President Joe Biden announced he would be ending his re-election bid. Convention delegates in state after state quickly met and then proudly announced they were unanimously behind Harris. This completely precluded the idea of a "mini-primary" (which many pundits had been hoping for), since no other viable Democrat even came forward to challenge Harris. So with remarkable speed, the Democratic Party has now unified behind Harris as their standard-bearer. Within the same 24-hour period, a jaw-dropping $81 million was donated to her campaign (the total is now well over $100 million). People are already volunteering to work for the campaign by the tens of thousands. Numbers aside, though, Harris has already achieved a remarkable feat -- she has excited voters.
After three weeks of angsty Democratic nail-biting, all of a sudden it is a whole new race. No longer will voters be faced with the same two old men as last time. Now they have someone younger, someone historic, and someone with plenty of energy to make her case to the people. Today Harris held her first rally as the presumptive nominee in Wisconsin. By all accounts it was an exuberant event. The campaign said Harris pulled a bigger audience than they've had for any previous events in the entire campaign (for either Biden or Harris) -- which is a very good sign indeed. Democrats are now energized in a way that simply wouldn't have been possible with Biden still at the top of the ticket. They see hope and possibilities with Harris -- the chance to completely redefine the race as one now filled with enthusiasm (instead of dread).
We likely won't know with any degree of certainty what this will mean in the polling for another week. Such a monumental political earthquake takes a while to sink in, for most people. Once people do get used to the idea of her being the Democratic nominee, they will form opinions about her and start deciding whether they can vote for her or not. We may see some snap polling in the next few days, but I will personally be waiting to see what the polling says next week, after the whole concept has had a chance to percolate a bit.
Harris is already leaning on a theme she first developed during her own presidential run (back in 2020): She is going to prosecute the case against Trump. That's where she started, after all, as a prosecutor and then later as California's attorney general. She has a successful record of prosecuting people just like Trump, as she is already eagerly pointing out. But this prosecution of the case against Trump will not be held in a courtroom and will not be gutted by a rogue Supreme Court -- this one will be held in the court of public opinion instead. So far, Trump has largely dominated the court of public opinion, even while he was being found guilty of dozens of felonies in a real courtroom. That is all about to end. Harris is about to start dominating that space. Which is precisely what tens of millions of frustrated Americans have been waiting for -- someone to call Trump out on his nonsense and lawbreaking. And anyone who has ever seen her grilling witnesses in front of a Senate committee already knows how effective Kamala Harris can be in such a setting. She is completely relentless.
To put this another way: Harris debating Trump is going to be an absolute joy to watch. She's not going to let him get away with just spouting unchallenged lies -- she is going to hit Trump back, hard. She is going to get under his skin. And it's an almost near-certainty Trump will say something horrifically misogynistic or racist at some point during their debate. Trump has never been able to cope with strong women challenging him, and its hard to imagine someone stronger than Harris going up against him one-on-one.
Harris has already been leaning in to the most potent issue Democrats have, by championing abortion rights and women's rights in a way no male politician really can. This is personal to Harris, and it's obvious. Much like many Americans since the fall of Roe v. Wade, Harris is personally offended by where the country is now and she is determined to do something about it. This is not only going to help her campaign, it is also going to help Democrats running for the House and Senate as well. And it's just a continuation of what she's been doing on the issue ever since the Supreme Court denied half of all Americans a major bodily freedom. She didn't just hit the ground running on abortion, she's been running strong for a while now.
The torch has now been passed. Instead of Biden dominating the news for weeks with the "Will he or won't he?" questioning, now Harris is going to dominate the news for a while -- in a much more positive fashion. In the blink of an eye, she has brought enthusiasm and excitement to what was shaping up to be an incredibly boring and tense election. Kamala Harris may not have been every Democrat's first choice to replace Biden at the top of the ticket, but it's now a done deal. What her chances will ultimately be against Trump, nobody really knows at this point. But she does have a solid chance, whereas Biden didn't. Biden was heading for sure defeat. With Harris, it's now a whole different race. And so far, she has hit the ground running in a big and spectacular way.

slut shaming is so forty years ago
So is many other forms of shaming that Democrats indulge in vis a vis President Trump...
For example... Shaming President Trump for white collar misdemeanors victim-less non violent "crimes" that NEVER would have been prosecuted against ANYONE NOT named 'Trump'...
While, at the SAME time, glorifying and sanctifying such complete and utter scumbag thugs like George Floyd and Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin..
Hypocrisy... It's not a bug in Demo rat programming. It's a feature..
i honestly don't think it would make an iota of difference to the campaign if Kamala were president.
Agreed. She doesn't stand a chance, regardless...
Headboard Harris speech on her accomplishments since becoming Vice President...
{{{cccchhhhiiiiirrrrrppppp}}}… {{{cccccchhhhhiiiiiiirrrrrrpppppp}}}
now Democrats can no longer claim moral high ground; they've ceded it to panic and poll numbers.
Exactly...
The simple fact is, Basement Biden suffer'ed a "scandal" (being senile and dementia-riddled) and it was decided that he cannot win..
A candidate involved in a scandal IS not sufficient cause to justify disenfranchising 14+ MILLION American voters...
14+ MILLION American voters voted for BIDEN to be their nominee...
Democrats are IGNORING the will of the people..
The VERY DEFINITION of a threat to democracy...
I am in COMPLETE agreement with you, JL... :D
To put this another way: Harris debating Trump is going to be an absolute joy to watch. She's not going to let him get away with just spouting unchallenged lies -- she is going to hit Trump back, hard.
GOOD!!!!
Because... THAT is what a ***DEBATE*** is all about!!!!
I mean... DUH!!!!
Democrats where whining and crying hysterically that the MODERATORS were letting President Trump get away with "lies"!!!!
Well, no shit sherlock!!?? It's not the MODERATOR's responsibility to fact-check the debaters!!!
THAT is what a frakin' debate is all about, people!!!??
I mean... Honestly!! DUH!!!
And it's not as if Basement Biden wasn't getting away with his own whoppers of lies!!
"I am the only POTUS this decade who didn't have any military casualties under my watch!!!"
20,000 Pinocchios there, dumb-ass!!!!
And THAT is such an egregious and un-American lie because it was Basement Biden's OWN incompetence that DIRECTLY CAUSED those military combat deaths...
Basement Biden is a complete and total scumbag just for that lie alone!!
As to the rest of the Headboard Harris fawning..
Allow me to sum up..
Headboard Harris speech on her accomplishments since becoming Vice President...
{{{cccchhhhiiiiirrrrrppppp}}}… {{{cccccchhhhhiiiiiiirrrrrrpppppp}}}
Or, if I may paraphrase Janet Jackson...
"What have you done for {America} lately??"
:D
Headboard Harris is in way over her head...
Although.... I think it was Madonna who offered to give anyone a blowjob if they voted for Hillary Clinton...
Since Headboard Harris swings that way anyways...
She might have something there...
I'm just saying... :D
@Dan
Kamala Harris was to the left of Bernie Sanders when she was in the Senate? I don't think I want any of what you're smoking.
"I know, right!??"
-Fixit Felix, WRECK IT RALPH
Demo-rats legalizing drugs was an all around BAD idea!!! :D
For example... Shaming President Trump for white collar misdemeanors victim-less non violent "crimes" that NEVER would have been prosecuted against ANYONE NOT named 'Trump'...
A jury of his peers says otherwise...
The simple fact is, Basement Biden suffer'ed a "scandal" (being senile and dementia-riddled) and it was decided that he cannot win..
If Trump had suffered brain damage rather than a nick on the ear and pulled out would the same logic apply?
Does Biden have to look into the future to see when he will decline? Contrary to your petty name calling, he seemed quite with it when he did the State of The Union in March. Chris's headline was: "Biden Knocks It Out Of The Park". Certainly better than Trump was ever able to do. But the decline of age creeps up and it's easily ignored until it's obvious.
Hell, Even Elon can see a loser as he waffles on his 45 mil a month funding of his pro-Trump Super PAC...
The simple fact is, Basement Biden suffer'ed a "scandal" (being senile and dementia-riddled) and it was decided that he cannot win..
Let me also state for the record, that "decision" was NOT made by the American voter, but rather was made by Demo-rat Party ELITES and Billionaires...
Which makes that decision all the more egregious, un-American and a complete and utter threat to democracy...
And THAT is such an egregious and un-American lie because it was Basement Biden's OWN incompetence that DIRECTLY CAUSED those military combat deaths...
Trump said: “you had no terror, at all, during my administration.”
When the truth was there was two attacks on American soil during his administration with a similar total body count. But the true deaths by incompetence was his total failure with COVID. Close to half a million people needed not have died had he dealt with it competently.
Man, you really doubling down on misogyny. To a quite the creepy level...
Basically, Headboard Harris is a DEI candidate..
Didn't
Earn
It
She's a token Affirmative Action candidate...
Nothing more..
She hasn't accomplished **ANYTHING** as VP...
ZIP... ZERO... ZILCH... NADA...
The *ONLY* thing that Americans have to judge her on is her record of using sex to move up the political ladder...
That's it..
And you people REALLY thinks she has a chance!!???
BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well... Considering ya'all (notable exceptions noted.. thought Basement Biden had a chance.....
I would say ya'all's (NEN) credibility has taken a real downturn... :D
I'm just sayin'...
And EVERY American knows that Headboard Harris has been LYING about Basement Biden's cognitive decline AT LEAST since the debate...
Like ya'all (NEN).... Headboard Harris' credibility is in the toilet..
...Harris is in way over her head...
Then what's Trump's excuse? He has only 4 years of elected office. Kamala has 21. Who would want such comparatively rank amateur in the office?
If you want a real DEI like candidate check out J D Vance. 2 years experience in the Senate bought and paid for by Peter Thiel and Robert Mercer. No previous elected office. There's the real billionaire's candidate...
For example... Shaming President Trump for white collar misdemeanors victim-less non violent "crimes" that NEVER would have been prosecuted against ANYONE NOT named 'Trump'...
Frequent repetition of lies and/or misinformation cannot and never will somehow magically transform them into facts. It's actually and factually 34 felonies, hence the moniker: Convicted Felon Donald Trump (with props to CW), and New York prosecutes those cases ALL THE TIME against a lot of people not named "Trump":
https://www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/survey-new-york-felony-falsification-of-business-records-just-security.pdf
I have it on good authority that the current Governor of New York will actually pardon Convicted Felon Donald Trump for these 34 felonies when (check notes) Hell freezes over.
Whether ‘tis Joe or Kamala (or a tuna fish sandwich ) this election’s fundamentals have not changed since before the debate.
Trump already had the rube, racist, gun nut, religious nut fascist vote. The debate along with his death March acceptance speech were both simply Trump rallies. Trust me, I still watch a lot of Trump tape. Trump is simply a broken record so it’s the audience reaction that interests me. So Trump just squandered his chance at the undecideds vote. Where is he going to find the votes to win?
And in just one news cycle Kamala increased Democrat’s enthusiasm level to the tune of $100m from small donors and another $150m from the whales. Meanwhile, Trump has to divert millions for legal defense and cannot easily reorient his campaign strategy now that Joe is old is no longer a thing.
This cash crunch will affect down ballot Republicans, too. And the majority of the electorate prefers Democratic policies and Democratic results.
Therefore, I would rather be on our side than their side. I’ve felt this way since the 2022 red wave.

If you want a real DEI like candidate check out J D Vance. 2 years experience in the Senate bought and paid for by Peter Thiel and Robert Mercer. No previous elected office. There's the real billionaire's candidate...
Two years? James Donald Bowman a/k/a James David Hamel a/k/a James David Vance has actually served in the Senate for only 19 months. He was sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris just last year.
I have it on very good authority that the more Donald Trump learns about Bowman/Hamel/Vance, he is regretting his bad decision.
Recently, J.D. was hysterically making the claim that while he was serving in the military, Kamala Harris was getting a "government check," which naturally begs the question: Exactly where does that effing moron think his basic pay was coming from, and whom does he believe was cutting the checks for his years and years of education under the GI Bill!?
Somebody should explain to J.D. and the MAGA morons that he's hysterically whining about collecting government checks while he spent years and years collecting government checks. Connecting the dots isn't exactly their strong suit.

I see your still really into heavy drug use, eh Cad?? :D
This utterly delusional thinking that Demo rats actually have a chance to win the White House in 2024 simply proves how heavy your drug use is...
Yeah, I couldn’t remember if they said red tsunami but I was quite sure I heard someone say red wave.
And NOW yer predicting a blue wave.. :eyeroll:
The difference being, in 2022, there were actually REAL facts to support that prediction..
In 2024, there are ZERO facts to support your prediction and a whole PLETHORA of facts that DON'T support your prediction.. :D
Simply drug-induced delusions.. :D
Chris,

Yeah, large portions of the media and, ah, blogosphere, sure are displaying a certain giddiness over their wildly successful campaign to dislodge Biden from this presidential race.
But, I'm wondering, when will you be joining the bandwagon to force Biden's resignation. I mean, that would seem the logical next step for someone who wrote the kinds of things about Biden that you have over the course of the last few weeks.
Oh, and, "Thanks a LOT!", by the way. ;)
Liz,
But, I'm wondering, when will you be joining the bandwagon to force Biden's resignation. I mean, that would seem the logical next step for someone who wrote the kinds of things about Biden that you have over the course of the last few weeks.
Very good point...
I have been saying for weeks that the only logical way this ends is Basement Biden resigning or being 25th Amendment'ed…
If he is too old to be the candidate, he is too old to be POTUS..
Demo rats are showing just how much they hate democracy.. :D
And let's not forget that Headboard Harris was Jussie Smollet's number one fan...
"Jussie Smollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I'm praying for his quick recovery. This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate."
Headboard Harris, Jan. 29, 2019.
This shows an incredible lack of judgment on Headboard Harris' part.. Which makes her unsuitable to be POTUS..
Headboard Harris is also not suited for the presidency due to her snub'ing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu...
She is simply proving she will not support one of our closest allies..
Since Headboard Harris has absolutely ZERO accomplishments as VP, we have to look at her tenure as CA AG to learn more about her..
More Than 120,000 Californians of Color Sent to Prison on Harris's Watch
Huge racial disparities bely Senator's pro-racial-justice message
While serving as California's top cop, Kamala Harris oversaw the incarceration of at least 127,000 Black and Hispanic Californians.
These data, based on reports from and a request to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), almost certainly undercount the total number of individuals who were sent to prison while Harris served as state attorney general. Still, they reveal that at least 44,172 black offenders and 83,370 Hispanic offenders were newly admitted to California's prisons between 2011 and 2016, compared to 48,761 whites and 11,182 "other"-identified individuals.
Percentage-wise, these figures translate into 23.6 percent of new incarcerees being black and 44.5 percent being Hispanic. By way of comparison, as of July 2018, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that 39.1 percent of Californians were Hispanic/Latino and just 6.5 percent were black or African American.
THIS is the woman you progressives want to be POTUS!!???
Hypocrisy.. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature.
And, lost in all the Headboard Harris hoopla is the fact that the DEI hire USSS Director Cheatle resigned..
I mean, com'on… The woman was hired SOLELY for DEI with absolutely no regards to merit or competency. Much like Headboard Harris herself..
OF COURSE she was going to frak up!! I mean, com'on…

TODAY'S DEMOCRAT PARTY
yup... yup... yup...
I remember what vice president Harris did to Joe Biden on the debate stage in 2020.
Liz,
Yep... Headboard Harris' only claim to fame as a presidential candidate was trying to convince the American people that Basement Biden is a racist..
Funny how Demo rats are so quick to forget the facts, eh?? :D
Hypocrisy.. It's not a bug in Demo rat programming. It's a feature..
She gave playing the race card whole new meaning and I, for one, will never forget it ... especially during her exceedingly hard to withstand giddiness, of late.
heehehehe
Yes, she does seem to be leading the high life lately, eh?
And all she had to do was help Demo rat leadership stab Joe Biden in the back..
What is REALLY funny is the likes of Harris, Odumbo, Pelosi, Schumer et al were like, "Joe Biden is fine." "Joe Biden is sharp as a tack." "Joe Biden is a mental mensa.."....
All that and more was the Party line.... Right up to the moment Joe Biden said "I quit..."
NOW the powers that be are all gushing about Headboard Harris...
I swear, it is straight out of Orwell's 1984....
"We're at war with East Asia. We have always been at war with East Asia."
And ALL of it was decided by the Party elites who totally IGNORED the 14+ MILLION Democrats who voted for Joe Biden to be their candidate...
Defenders Of Democracy my ass... :eyeroll:
How do candidates respond to pressure? Do they seem honest and authentic to voters, or does something about them read as false or opportunistic? Do they have that charisma that convinces people to knock on doors for them, share memes of them, proselytize to family members about them?
Harris’s reputation was as a candidate with the tangibles but not the intangibles. She was great on paper but, in 2020, couldn’t put the pieces together…
But Harris has never won an election atop the ticket in Pennsylvania or Wisconsin or Michigan. She’s never won an election atop the ticket anywhere but California. The Biden administration’s record is unpopular, and she cannot make a clean break from it. Immediately uniting around Harris feels safe to some Democrats. To other Democrats, it’s risky. They risk making the mistake they made with Biden, which is being so afraid of disunity that they’re failing to gather the information they need to know how their candidate will really perform.
And here’s the truth: It’s all risky. It could all go bad, no matter what path is chosen.
-Ezra Klein, NY TIMES
Yup. Yup. Yup..
Demo rats are making the same mistake with Headboard Harris that they did with Basement Biden..
Ignoring the long term consequences to address the short term needs...
Demo rats are FAMOUS for that...
It is that EXACT problem that DIRECTLY led to a 6-3 Conservative SCOTUS that decided President Trump has ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY for all official acts and PRESUMPTIVE IMMUNITY for un-official acts...
Demo rats NEVER learn... :eyeroll:
Ask Imran Khan about how America and the Biden administration defends democracy. Heh.
And then, of course, there is this..
Another sticking point for minority voters has been Harris's history of expanding convictions of marijuana users in California.
As California attorney general, Harris oversaw thousands of marijuana-related convictions. Critics argue that these convictions disproportionately affected black and brown communities and that Harris's office fought against efforts to reduce sentences or expunge records.
Headboard Harris is the most anti-marijuana Demo rat there is!!
I am very surprised that the likes of Caddy and CW would support her...
But then again, we're in 1984.. Party loyalty uber alles..
In 2006, she granted probation to a man who went on to murder two people. At the height of the 2020 race riots, Harris encouraged people to contribute to a bail fund to free violent rioters. One of those freed ended up being charged with murder.
Looks like President Trump is going to be able to successfully 'Willie Horton' Headboard Harris... :D
Headboard Harris is also on record as wanting to abolish ICE...
Yep, no matter what parameter or litmus test ya'all want to use...
Headboard Harris is toast...
There is simply NO WAY that the American people will want this bimbo as their POTUS..
Kamala Harris has been:
District Attorney for a major city for six years
Attorney General of the most populous state in the nation for six years
Senator for four years
VP for a term.
Quite stellar resume there, actually.
But don't worry, we will be going into depth on Trump's failed presidency. Trump's failed business dealings. Trump's failings with women. His connections with Epstein (doe174). And all the nasty evil stuff in Project 2025 to which he has praised and was written by many members of his administration as well as heavily supported by JD Vance who would be a mere heart attack away from the Oval office.

Heh... I was just teasing you. In point of fact, the Righties and their low-information echo chamber hyped both "red wave" and "red tsunami" -- and even "red hurricane" -- before the 2022 midterms...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEg2eXO4-kg
... even though the vast majority of nonpartisan polls fell well within the margin of error.
Be that as it may, the gullible sheeple regurgitated that propaganda echo chamber despite all evidence to the contrary because it seems no matter how many times the rubes are fleeced by the right-wing propaganda con artists and talking heads, it seemingly never occurs to them that they're being repeatedly misinformed and lied to. However, it is always hysterical to watch them fall all over themselves to perform on cue like useful idiots, particularly when they cannot stop themselves from revealing their bone-deep innate hatred and bigotry towards women, persons of color and all manner of minority groups that do not toe their Party line, and I sincerely hope that Kamala Harris throws it right back in their faces by explaining to the American people exactly what they mean by "DEI hire" and how Donald Trump is a "DEI hire" by virtue of him being the first Orange person to be elected to the office of the presidency, although certainly not the first heir to his Daddy's fortune who didn't earn it but was born on third base with a silver spoon (foot) in his mouth while claiming to have hit a triple... but I digress. :)
If he is too old to be the candidate, he is too old to be POTUS..
President Biden obviously is not too old to be the President because he's currently old and is currently President and shall remain ever thus. He has, however, made the decision to end his reelection campaign and so is no longer the candidate... although obviously not too old to be the candidate since he was actually the candidate.
If I were a thinking person, and I definitely am one, I would cease and desist in the demonstrable folly of attempting to force the duly elected current President of the United States out of office against his wishes while at the same time making the asinine claim that the people's choice for POTUS should be forced to remain on the ballot in the name of "democracy" and therefore be potentially forced to serve his golden years as President of the United States.
Trump and MAGAts cannot force President Biden to resign his office prematurely in the exact same manner it could not stop him from assuming the office of the presidency in January 2021, notwithstanding all their illegal machinations to disenfranchise the voters in multiple states by filing illegal forged certificates of ascertainment with the National Archives and attempting to force (now former) Vice President Mike Pence to accept fake electors.
In conclusion: Who's the old man now!?

Obviously, you meant "what Senator Harris did to Vice President Joe Biden on the debate stage in 2020."
Do you also remember how she was great friends with Joe's son Beau and how he reviewed her lengthy career in service to California and the United States of America and subsequently bonded with her as well as her family and thereafter chose her to be his vice presidential running mate and then made them all honorary Bidens? Rhetorical question.
I know you remember when they won the election. :)

She's always been a happy person with a smile on her lips and a laugh in her voice so "giddiness, of late" is rather a cheap shot coming from anyone.
Obama and Biden also possess that kind of perpetual giddiness, which I believe is why they bonded like family, which applies to Biden and Harris and undoubtedly why he chose her to serve with him.

Netanyahu Destroys Terrorist Sympathizers in the U.S. in Speech to Congress
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress on Wednesday afternoon — sans Vice President Kamala Harris and a handful of other anti-Israel lawmakers — to deliver a stirring message declaring "America and Israel must stand together."
Still embroiled in a war started by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists on October 7 with the slaughter and kidnapping of innocents, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel's current fight against those who wish its elimination is "not a clash of civilizations" but "a clash between barbarism and civilization."
"Thousands of young Israelis were celebrating at an outdoor music festival," Netanyahu recounted of October 7. "And suddenly, at 6:29 a.m., as children were still sleeping soundly in their beds in the towns and kibbutzim next to Gaza, suddenly heaven turned into hell."
"Three-thousand Hamas terrorists stormed into Israel and butchered 1,200 people from 41 countries, including 39 Americans," reminded. "Proportionately, compared to our population size, that's like 20 9/11s in one day."
"These monsters they raped women, they beheaded men, they burned babies alive, they killed parents in front of their children and killed children in front of their parents," Netanyahu recalled of the brutal Hamas attack. "They dragged 255 people, both living and dead, into the dark dungeons of Gaza."
THIS is what the Democrat Party is all about..
Supporting HAMAS terrorists..
THIS is what Headboard Harris is all about...
THIS is why patriotic Americans who love Israel will NEVER vote for Headboard Harris..
"These are the facts of the case. And they are undisputed."

The moniker "convicted felon" is not going to be valid for much longer..
Due to the SCOTUS ruling that President Trump enjoys ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY for official actions and PRESUMPTIVE IMMUNITY for unofficial acts, evidence from President Trump's time in office is inadmissible in criminal proceedings..
Since the Manhattan court's entire lawfare persecution case is based on evidence from President Trump's time in office, the evidence is going to be thrown out and the entire case AND it's subsequent verdict is going to be vacated... :D

So you're saying you actually think actions that Trump took before he was elected to office constitute official actions. Damn! No one need insult your ignorance since you just volunteered to do it for them.
Since the Manhattan court's entire lawfare persecution case is based on evidence from President Trump's time in office, the evidence is going to be thrown out and the entire case AND it's subsequent verdict is going to be vacated... :D
I reiterate my response above and direct you to a shit-ton of evidence that proves you're either:
(A) Ignorant of the facts
(B) Lying about the facts
(C) Both A and B
https://pdfs.nycourts.gov/PeopleVs.DTrump-71543/Evidence/
AND... Since the verdict is not actually entered into the record until sentencing and, since the case is going to be thrown out, there will be no sentencing...
The verdict is entered into the record, and anyone can actually read it because it's a public record and posted online.
The claim that President Trump is a "convicted felon" is not factually accurate in the eyes of the law..
If there was a better way for someone who claims expertise in law to prove they actually possess none, I don't know what it would be. Donald Trump is a convicted felon having been found guilty by a jury not once, not twice, but 34 times for 34 felonies. Citizen Trump can obviously request an appeal for any manner of reasons, but until it is granted, your Orange Worship is a convicted felon.
But the fact is, Demcorats do not have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the Oval Office...
Hell must be pretty cold over there on Earth 2 because a Democrat is sitting in the Oval Office right now. Keep making that asinine claim; one of these years you might actually brag to the board how you predicted it, and then we can ask you if you'd like a medal or a chest to pin it on... or both. Heh.
So you're saying you actually think actions that Trump took before he was elected to office constitute official actions. Damn!
Well, I think it's pretty likely that that's how SCOTUS will see it. Otherwise they'll have to come up with a whole new "reason" why their guy is absolutely immune.

Are you talking about when candidate Biden said there should have been no federal role in desegregation (which, he didn't have to say, would have meant no desegregation)? I haven't forgiven him for that.

Do you wish to engage in the same disingenuousness as did Senator Harris?

I take your point, but in order to find for Trump on some of his claims, the SCOTUS would actually have to go against their own ruling.
Trump's main problems with his argument:
(1) Trump and his attorneys didn't seek immunity in a timely fashion and therefore waived it.
(2) Trump entering into a nondisclosure agreement with Stormy Daniels and the subsequent commission of fraud in order to cover it up in his personal business records doesn't come close to an "official act" of the presidency.
(3) Even if the conduct for which Trump is a 34-time convicted felon did constitute an "official act," the SCOTUS ruling states unequivocally: "But of course the prosecutor may point to the public record to show the fact that the President performed the official act. And the prosecutor may admit evidence of what the President allegedly demanded, received, accepted, or agreed to receive or accept in return for being influenced in the performance of the act.... What the prosecutor may not do, however, is admit testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing the official act itself."
Trump is attempting to have his case thrown out over testimony that was related to an act that wasn't remotely "official" and a tweet wherein he himself confessed to the NDA and reimbursement on Twitter, which obviously is a public record that would be admissible even if it was an "official act."
