Vice President Kamala Harris gave the public its first real look into her nascent presidential campaign with a stop at her organization’s headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday night.
Harris’ first applause line came when she discussed her background as California attorney general and as a courtroom prosecutor.
“In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds,” she said, earning cackles while she beamed, clearly enjoying the joke. “Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.”
Opens Fire On Trump
Glad to see they didn’t shy away from using this terminology, considering recent events.
Gives Trump An Ear Full
Some double entendre there. Love it.
Draws Blood By Calling Out Trump’s Criminal History
sounds deliberate honestly
Honestly, this is the kind of down-in-the-dirt campaigning I had hoped to see from Hillary back in 2016 before she tied an apron on and tried to convince everyone she was a sweet little motherly person. You can’t be sweet and kind with someone like Trump. You need to gather up the shit he’s piling up around the place and drown his ass in it.
So if Kamala is gonna bring the pain, I’m here for it. Trump needs to be beaten bloody on the pulpit. Because bullies can never handle being bullied themselves. Especially ones as thin skinned and stupid as Trump is.
To be fair to Clinton, she did do some pain. Remember when she called many of the people who supported Trump, “deplorables”. This riled up America as if she was going too far with describing them this way. Here we are almost a decade later, and we are starting to realize that she was right.
The political landscape is far different now than it was when it was Hilary vs. Trump. Trump has done his four years, and we have now seen the damage he and his constituents have done. We see now that the republican party watched Handmaid’s Tale and agreed with the fictional government in that story. There is no hiding how deplorable some of these folks are especially with the publishing of Project 2025.
Yeah this is another example of how fucking stupid she was during that campaign. She attacked his supporters instead of him directly. The person who should have been the brunt of every single attack she could muster should have been Trump and only Trump. Instead she riled up his base and convinced a bunch of independents that she was an asshole, which she actually is but she kept unleashing her assholiness on the wrong people.
I remember watching one of the more freeform debates with her and Trump and I kept waiting for her to wreck his ass and she kept acting like some kind of stupid nicey nice person (that she most definitely isn’t). I was like, “What the fuck? Where’s the dragon lady I bought tickets to see eat Trump for lunch???”
And then as if that wasn’t all stupid as fuck, after the campaign failed and Trump got elected as president, she fucking goes out and starts blaming all the fucking left wing voters and Berniecrats for “not voting enough” even though it was her dumbass fault she lost the election. I’m a fucking Bernie voter and I pointlessly cast a ballot for her dumb ass.
So yeah fuck Hillary eternally. I hope she spits in her fucking corn flakes when Kamala wins and becomes the first woman president.
I am frustrated that we didn’t get to pick our candidate in the primaries, I don’t know if Harris is my style. She might be.
But God damn I am looking forward to her going head to head with Trump. She is sharp as hell on her feet.
I was not a harris booster previously but the biggest complaint I have about her, “Copmala” is actually a significant strength in this election. Then I started reading into her voting record. Combine that with her being a woman in the post roe v wade world, and a woman of color against the most xenophobic party that any of us have experienced and I think she’s EXACTLY what we need.
The American public has swung back towards more moderate policing. Progressive approaches were rebuked in the Pacific North West. It’s absolutely a strength right now
I am really really liking her. A lot. She is giving me rockstar vibes like Obama.
Convicted felon, rapist and racist.
Harris opted for liable of scamming, sexual abuse, and guilty of fraud on thirty-four counts instead of fraud, rape, and convicted of thirty-four felonies. Great start, but she should not shy from harsh rhetoric.
Finally, someone who is actually willing to treat Trump’s many flaws as weakpoints.
I want that debate between her and poor Donnie. This woman ia going to roast the shit out of him with her professional experience.
That’s what’s needed. The older boomer republicans (not die hard MAGA’s, there’s a lot more of the at least rational ones out there) need to see her wipe the floor with him with facts and tough questions he outright lies to, to have a chance of changing their vote.
With respect, anyone who would vote for Trump probably isn’t worth spending time convincing. Some of them might come around, but if she has one, Kamala’s value will be in getting undecided and first time voters to the polls. One of the most popular choices every election is “not going to vote”
I remember people saying the same thing about Clinton leading up to their debates. At least Harris has a few more years of criming to draw on.
HRC was a genuinely awful debater and she still arguably won all debates against 2016 Trump. Harris is a great debater and she is up against 2024-Trump. He’s no match.
I hope you’re right but I have my doubts.
She was a career prosecutor. Her bread and butter was tearing people open for others to see. No idea where your doubt is coming from.
I guess we’ll find out but I don’t think she’s going to publicly humiliate Trump like some people here seem to.
We’ve seen already he doesn’t have the software to feel humiliation. I think we’ll see him get so angry he becomes kind of incoherent, but even that’s barely a stretch.
Has he ever done that in public before?
First woman president is a hail mary in the last months of election year? Sounds like humanity to me.
Well, we’re a lot more interested now, aren’t we?
We do love dangling victory into the jaws of defeat for a few moments. I haven’t been alive to see a lot of my favorite moments in this timeline, so I’m glad I’ll be here for this legendary one.
She should point out, repeatedly, that the man has no financial skills at all. Keep hammering how bad he was for workers and the economy in general but still turned a tidy profit for himself. He would actually have more wealth now if he had just invested his inheritance in the S&P (according to Forbes) instead of starting all his removedamamie businesses. The man ran how many casinos into the ground? He went bankrupt in businesses where people say “the house always wins” because the odds are literally stacked in the house’s favor.
She needs to go, repeatedly like, “I mean… He bankrupted a casino… A casino” and, “Speaking of predator, this manchild lied about his associations with Epstein while also flying on his private plane at least 7 times. Would you let him watch your daughter? HELL NO.”
I wouldn’t even let him watch his own daughter
All she has to do is keep calling him weak publicly and he will fucking lose it
I don’t know. He seems to have more restraint than we think he does. I expected his head to explode during the debate when his mike was cut off.
Oh yeah… That’s the stuff!

The Dude abides.
Bold phrasing from The Daily Beast.
He’ll just put a big wad of gauze on his feelings until the election.
Watch Trump go into Bobby Newport mode:
“Hey… that hurt my feelings!”
Good. He’s hurt enough feelings by just existing.
Trump has the impulse control of a squirrel on meth, and an assertive brown woman is pretty much his nightmare (and the sum of all reactionary fears). Trump being made sport of by a minority woman is going to drive him off the rails. The racism and misogyny will be fully unleashed and I suspect he will die by the ugly sword he himself forged.
Keep it punchy, don’t waste too much time bashing Trump or else the whole campaign is about him.
Nice. Keep up the good work.
