Nauseating But Predicted: Biden Selects Kamala Harris as His VP Running Mate
This is as nauseating as it was predictable.
It will not help Biden beat Trump, but Trump is so far behind it likely does not matter.
I cannot support this ticket, nor can I support Trump.
In that regard, nothing really changed. No matter who Biden picked, I was not about to endorse him.
But Biden’s caving into the progressive wing of the party with a political opportunist like Harris is sickening to say the least.
Mish
Progressive?
She is not as progressive as Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders but she does support Medicare-For-All.
No one can call here a centrist, so what is she?
Nauseating?
That is the word that caused the most questions, but I stand by it.
In regards to “inappropriate touching” Biden Harris said she believed the accusers.
Sen. Kamala Harris, who was announced as presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s running mate on Tuesday, once said that she believed women who accused Biden of inappropriate touching.
“I believe them, and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it,” the California senator told reporters in April 2019.
Nearly a year later, Biden would be accused of sexual assault by former aide Tara Reade, which is the most serious allegations he had faced and one he vehemently denied. Harris, who had by that point dropped out of the presidential race, said that Reade “has a right to tell her story.”
I also found her presumption of guilt charges against Brett Kavanaugh more than a bit nauseating.
She asked Kavanaugh if he would take a lie detector test knowing full well as a prosecutor they are both unreliable and inadmissible in court.
Biden is Not a Racist But …
Political Opportunist?
There are only two possibilities in play. Harris either believes the charges against Biden or she doesn’t.
Either way, Harris has problems.
Harris either made bald-faced lies of the worst kind or she is willing to be on a ticket with someone accused by many women of being a sexual predator while making the claim that she believes those women.
Please consider Kamala Harris believed Joe Biden’s accusers — until she didn’t.
The fact that Harris so eagerly climbed aboard Joe’s bus says something about her character and what she really thinks about #MeToo. Far from the feminist icon she portrayed herself as during the Kavanaugh hearings, she personifies the left’s weaponization of assault for political ends. The biggest losers in this game are true victims of assault and abuse, who now face an even more daunting climb to being believed.
Harris’ addition to the Biden ticket, then, is not a great feminist achievement. Rather, it is a harsh blow to the feminist cause. Her decision to join Biden after accusing him of assault underscores, in a damning and irreversible way, how unseriously her party takes these issues when there are political ambitions at stake.
This one just came my way.
Nauseating Political Opportunist?
You bet.
If you have better words I will be happy to consider them.
And Trump will press Biden about this. Harris was not a good addition and it could cost Biden the election (I just doubt it at the moment).
For discussion, please see Biden is a Huge Favorite to Win the Election
By the way, what does picking Harris as a running mate say about Joe Biden?
Mish
Mish – would you consider endorsing Biden/Harris on the basis that a strong democratic win is also strong repudiation of trumpism resulting in a better chance of reforming the republican party into something more coherent than the nauseous mess that it has become? Or are you a proponent of trumpism, just not of its leader?
Just trying to understand your thinking…
Mish has been a Trump supporter for some time. That’s all you need to know.
Mish has flip flopped like a Fish on Trump in the past 6 months.
Aka needs audience for his blog, as the majority is now anti Trump.
This is my last post on Mish, despite many intelligent people posting here (Sechel etc.) and worth reading their opinions, I need blogs that I can trust. I can no longer trust Mish as any reasonable person could have seen that Trump is a con artist.
It is sad to see both Mish and Zerohedge scraping the bottom of the barrel in order to protect Trump in the last few years, and only flipping recently as the public opinion shifts.
Ban racists and old timer white guys like Mish from your life.
I just did.
You don’t get it, do you. It doesn’t matter, anybody but Trump!
“Is Kamala Harris a Nauseating Political Opportunist?”
I will say No: while your usage of the verb and its meaning is correct, I have a fondness for the Strunk & White Style Guide insistence that “nauseous” means “sickening to contemplate”, and would prefer the old-timey “Kamala Harris is a Nauseous Political Opportunist”.
The country is in convulsions over ill-treatment of non-white communities by police; while, she made a career out of locking up – and keeping locked up – black men and poor people. So: as a reaction to “bad cop” practices, the Democrats pick a “bad cop” policy-maker to be President (let’s face it, sooner or later).
She’s described as a person-of-colour or capital-B Black standard-bearer, when Ghandi is being attacked for being insufficiently woke; while her parents weren’t and aren’t African American, her ancestors owned slaves, and she came from an economically and socially privileged family.
The Trump Whitehouse while a revolving clown-car, to give it credit (just like Obama’s), it kept the US out of major wars with eg Iran. Unlike Obama’s, Trump’s one also avoided falling-domino-disasters like Libya and the great Mediterranean train-wreck of regime disruption and uncontrolled mass-displacement/migration. I can just bet Joe & Kamala’s WH will be full of Samantha Power-Ranger types.
I made myself a promise when Bernie lost out: I’ll vote for Biden, but please God, not if he picks Harris.
Don’t know what I’ll do now – but I’m not voting for Joe as a delivery platform for Kamala. I’m feeling nauseated.
Well now we have Nausea-gate.
Doesn’t sound like any fun at all!
It’s a clear case of racism to exclude Gretchen Whitmer from consideration because she is not a colored person.
“Progressive?”
Marxist.
“By the way, what does picking Harris as a running mate say about Joe Biden?”
Biden picked Harris? Huh. Is he aware he did so? From what few appearances he’s made in the last months, it doesn’t seem like he can remember his wife’s name, much less decide on a running mate.
Unless he was angry when he did it, of course. Uncle Joe is cognitive only when he’s angry. That’s why its safe for him to debate Trump. He will fly into a terrible rage and unleash his fury on Orange Man Bad, who naturally will respond in kind. It will show the whole world that Joe’s not completely senile and incapacitated.
Debate! Debate! Debate!
Pleased to see you write something like this Mish I appreciate you candor.
“If you have better words I will be happy to consider them.”
Two words.
Mike Pence.
This is not a purity test for Kamala.
It is a comparative test between Mike and Kamala.
Is it normal to pay so much attention on a VP nominee? Doesn’t say much for Biden as the actual candidate if the focus is on her.
Harris, like Biden and Trump, is a distraction that you promote. In the meantime, the puppeteers, like Gates and Soros, are trying to take advantage of Covid to convert society/humanity into their sick dreams (nightmare) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX_jYEI6Z3Q&feature=emb_title&app=desktop

I think in most cases “opportunist” and politician are interchangeable words. Almost any politician who makes it to the national stage is an opportunist. I despise voting for the lesser of two evils as I have most of the last 55 years but given the current president I’ve decided to quit hoping for someone with mostly good ethics and support Biden/Harris without my usual disappointment. I read an article 10 months ago that said amongst corporate CEO’s Biden was the preferred democratic candidate followed by Harris so now we know why that is the ticket. “Money don’t talk, it shouts”.
Mish: By election day 2016, it was abundantly clear (to me) that Trump was worse-than-nauseating opportunist, among his many other despicable flaws. Yet, as I recall, you voted for him. Does your commentary reflect a streak of double standard? Perhaps you were more nauseated then but still, for other reasons, voted the way you did?
One should always try to vote for the less nauseating of the two choices.
The Case for Trump
There’s little wrong with President Trump that more Trump couldn’t solve.
Is this satire?
Reminds me of the old refrain: “The solution is fine, we’re just not doing enough of it!”
Trump is a disaster and he is attacking institutions important to American democracy. You do like American democracy, right?
Harris is a soulless unconscionable person if for the only reason she withheld evidence that would have freed an innocent man and then claims to be a judicial reformist of the grandest kind. Following one’s party blindly is a mental flaw, it emboldens. One shouldn’t be asking if she is unconscionable compared to someone else, but compared to her potential to hit her “best self”. She probably has hit her best self many years ago, just a hunch on that. I am a conservative, more or less, but I won’t be voting for Trump either. It’s a shame this country has these 4 human nincompoops as our options.
As they say, life is like a cesspool: the really big shits rise to the top.
Now it’s came out that her father’s ancestors were slave owners. I’m sure this will play out well for her.
I find this amusing, because we all have thousands of ancestors, so the chances that any single person has NO ancestors who enslaved others have gotta be pretty slim.
If you believe everybody did it then why the big label push by the left towards identity politics? I do not believe you can dismiss her slave owning relatives of 150 years ago to everybody did it, and you know she is a victim.
The explanation that has been given is that her Great-grandmother (??) was a slave, and was raped by the slave owner, making the slave-owner her great-grandfather. I don’t know if that is correct or not.
Trump’s is not an opportunist? How else do you describe the demagoguery?
How is that relevant? I think this was a post about Harris. Mish has documented many of Trump’s faults extensively lately.
(unless I missed it) without ever calling Trump nauseating … and I have no problem with the term if it was applied across the board to all who are just like Harris or worse.
My point is that the post was about Mish’s opinion of Harris. Mish writes about his opinion of Trump all the time. Everyone is free to disagree with Mish’s opinion, but the fact Trump may have a characteristic Mish attributes to Harris (“opportunist”) is irrelevant to whether or not Mish’s critique is correct. Harris and Trump may both be opportunist, but Trump’s opportunism is irrelevant because this post wasn’t about him.
I focused on only one word of Mish’s description of Harris … and it was not “opportunist” … it was “nauseating”.
And, after acknowledging I’ve only been here for months, not years, and had probably not read every single post he’s ever written in the time I’ve been here, “nauseating” seemed way beyond the kinds of insulting descriptions Mish had tossed at other individuals for whom he certainly expressed his disdain, including Trump.
It just struck me (and apparently some others) as somewhat “over the top” … that’s all.
Totally agree with Mish here.
Harris is a complete opportunist.
She speaks from a platform of ‘I don’t care what it takes, even to sacrifice my own words nailing Biden as a sexual predator, I want to be the first Afro / Asian America woman as VP.’ It’s a Gilda Ratner news commentator moment of ” Never Mind.”
I’m so sick and tired of all these politicians / unprincipled elite spouting out mental masturbation as their rationalizations. It’s a circle jerk and we the public are the recipients !
Great perspective Mish,…totally on target.
A nauseating political opportunist and a potted plant. I know who I’m voting against.
I think SHE thinks she is a progressive, but her UBI proposal is typical of how she isn’t, the progressives just want to do MMT till the gap between rich and poor is closed by some decent fraction, she instead wants to make it a partial UBI which is not U at all and only to targeted people who work. It would far more accurately be called a minimum wage increase to about $50k per year. But cutting out millions particularly disabled vets.
The question is she an opportunist? The answer is I think they all are. And if your goal is to be president what better way to get there than to accept the VP slot of a near octagenarian way ahead in the polls. Biden will be lucky to make it to the swearing in.
I believe in work but I can easily see how eventually even the Republicans will embrace a Universal Basic Income. In fact, a Hoover Institute Fellow said a few years ago that if UBI is set low enough, it’s cheaper than welfare. With factories getting more automated, services to become automated, eventually we’ll have a lot of people just sitting around. Unless you give them something free, they will riot. Better a UBI and free cheese than having to fight them in an urban jungle.
Ray, we already have government/Fed sponsored universal basic income just not really universal because it only pays the top 10% that hold most of the assets, including now 85% of equities.
Look, we all know at Mish that they have swollen the Fed balance sheet and subsidized corporations via tax breaks and favorable regulation, that they are grossly devaluing the dollar and ALL of that money has gone to the top 10%, in fact ALL new national income has gone to them for more than 20 years now.
What the progressives claim to want to do is use MMT to devalue the dollar and instead of that creaming off the top and given to the rich give it to the poors instead. The only reason I do not support their efforts is that they are not going by strictly net worth or income to change this distribution, not even just making it UNIVERSAL! They are prioritizing people of color and that is not right in my book. In fact all the plans I have see specifically cut the minority I belong to out of their largess. Disabled vets that is. No coincidence that the vast majority of vets vote GOP and so would they reward the veterans when those vote for republicans, so their motives are not clean and unclean motives ALWAYS mean problems down the road. That is why the GOP is on the verge o becoming toxic for a generation.
She also believes that is is OK to give a less qualified man a job over a more qualified woman as long as the man does the work, apparently. Or maybe it is just OK if it is a less qualfied woman, or, a less qualified woman where work means sexual favors.
“Brown’s relationship with Alamada County deputy district attorney Kamala Harris preceded his appointment of Harris to two California state commissions in the early 1990s. The positions on the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission were described by local newspaper the San Francisco Chronicle as patronage positions.When the appointments became a political issue in Harris’s 2003 race for District Attorney, she responded: “Whether you agree or disagree with the system, I did the work”” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Brown_(politician)
Anything you said Harris did I could make the claim Warren did as well. Also saw similar theatrics with Republican crowd in 2016. I do think we’re more tolerant of this behavior when it occurs in men. Trump does this sort of thing all the time. Yea the eyes roll but we describe it differently.
I agree nauseating reminds me of Trump’s “Nasty” description
The thing I found inappropriate about the use of the term “nauseating” is that I don’t believe I’ve ever heard Mish use of any other politician previously (although I’ve only been here for months, not years), and IMO if the term fits Harris it fits the vast majority of politicians along the entire spectrum from far left to far right.
Calling her “political opportunist” or “typical political opportunist” or “hypocritical political opportunist” would have avoided the problem, been accurate (IMO) and classified her with everyone else running/ruling/exploiting the country primarily for their own benefit rather than serving it.
The entire Democratic party has embraced health care. Can’t pin this on one person. Personally I think the country needs to do something. I prefer the Swiss Health care model. I think it does a better job of containing costs and providing good service while better embracing the market but I don’t see Americans embracing being require to purchase private health insurance and see their wages garnished if they don’t. Pre-existing condition is huge and what we have now doesn’t adequately address it. It’s nuts to tie health care to one’s job. You lose the job you have no health care options. Not a problem if you are young and health but as you age this is becomes a bigger problem. Lots of Americans playing Russian roulette on this one.
Not only that but even the right is coming to see healthcare as a right, just not how to finance it. But, one of the problems for the right is how to keep using the financially illiterate stubborn “values” voters by motivating them with a crazy zero sum economics that never actually existed, and scaring them with the whole brown people coming to take all your money (taxes) while the GOP funnels trillions into the pockets of shareholders of those same healthcare companies. Because while economics is not a zero sum game, there is a point at which there is too much of a nation’s capital in too few pockets and capitalism itself is no longer viable. Once capital stops flowing around, making a few errors but always circulating and getting enough right to keep an economy humming, the flow becomes a trickle and strangles the economy.
This is now where we are and it is at the point where so many of us are so low income we would die without government assistance, millions are sleeping on the street with only charity organizations for food and an occassional roof/shower. That number is about to rise dramatically even as more former middle class enter the danger zone of living from day to day not knowing where they will sleep the next night.
Yet the equity markets are screaming from one new record to the next. Bond holders of even junk are guaranteed a price support by the Fed as it starts to buy total junk. Even as future prospects for the vast majority of Americans have dimmed, and during the Covid pandemic actually have hit a brownout or even blackout level, the wealth and security of the top 10% have never been better by far.
I see some progressives like Sanders (even though he is a really disturbed old man who thinks the ends justify the means) and Warren, as sincerely wanting better lives for the 90% while clawing back some of the economy from the 10% and at the same time placing regulations that will stop the Wall Street stranglehold on the economy that benefits a very few, in favor of an economy that benefits Main Street more. But, that does not mean I support most of the ideas they present because if these are your goals you have to have a capitalist friendly way to get across that finish line, socialism, even Socialism Lite, will kill the prosperity that comes with capitalism. Particularly the appropriate division of labor, market price discovery, laws of supply and demand, and maybe most important, allocation of capital into profitable ventures.
Harris wants what she wants, and I think to a degree is conflicted between a desire for less poverty (lowering the excuses for criminals) at the same time she wants strict law and order, and voluntary compliance with the law. Having grown up in Oakland no doubt she experienced a lot of crime and the acceptance of crime as a way of life. She is probably angry that a small part of racial minorities ruins the perception of all minorities in the minds of the public. I know I would be.
To say, or even ask if she is a political opportunist means to me that you want to know if she is lying about what she wants in order to gain the power to affect change in the real of what she REALLY wants but keeps secret. And there are many such political opportunists today, probably a majority of politicians who are at gubinatorial level in statewide offices, or congressional level or higher in federal office, are such lying opportunists. A classical example is Lindsey Graham, he lies with almost perfect ease where his real goal is among the most sickening, his motives are personal wealth and power, racism and he will cling to any more powerful politician that ensures he remains in office to get it.
A perfect example of a political opportunist who has decided that the welfare of the public is worthy of any tricks and games and which he himself gets to decide what constitutes as beneficial for the little guy whether the little guy knows it or not (YOU WILL EAT YOUR PEAS YOU POVERTY RIDDEN SCHMUCKS) is Bernie Sanders. So the two would use any means to get what they want, because the ends justify the means. In Bernie’s case he has to retain power by any means so he can guide (force) the poor out of poverty. Graham just wants to be a rich guy with security, he really has no legislative agenda aside from reelection and will glom onto anything that helps him. My personal opinion is he is a closet case that is psychologically damaged to the point of no return.
To sum it up, all politicians reaching the national level have an agenda of some kind, and nearly all will compromise their ethics (such as they are) in order to be able to acheive their goals. So in that sense all high level politicians are political opportunists. The dividing line is the sincerity to which they want to do the right thing for the most people. But even then as we see with Sanders, just sincerely wanting to help the most people with YOUR idea of what they need is also not democracy. In a democracy you have to allow for a population that is going to err in what they need and want. You cannot force them to accept for example face masks. You say it is horror that they will not all just wear the damned things, but forcing the public to do things they do not want to do has a name. One is tyranny, the other that comes to mind is totalitarianism.
unfortunately, capitalism is based on a free market which does not exist
Yeah it’s amazing how the American “lose your job, lose your healthcare” system has lasted as long as it has, as it’s completely barbaric. In Greece I pay about 100 USD/mo for Gold coverage, which is pretty good (if you get some esoteric disease the Greek doctors can’t cure, they send you free of charge to Germany which has more advanced hospitals).
if the insurance work link were broken the amierican worker would be mobile. probably more inclined to start businesses too
There are SOOOooooo many great reasons why employers should not be providing some of their employees HC Insurance, or offering some golden Cadillac plans all paid for while others have to share the cost for shitty plans that will only possibly keep them out of bankruptcy court and which they are afraid to use because of copays and deductibles. While other workers get no plan at all.
We COULD pay for universal care now on less that the private for obscene profit insurers are collecting. So we could both improve care by ending the practice of hospitals competing for the opulent bone palaces they can build, usually multiple versions in every town whether the need for them is there or not, and extremely expensive this redundancy is also.
In fact, private insurance itself adds about 30% to prices without adding a single thing to outcomes. In fact denials of coverage by them actually harm outcomes.
So, we could return to a freer market solution by ending the private insurance business and save taxpayers a buttload of money in the process while getting better care.
Think of all the money households pay + all the money businesses pay + all the money government pays = about $3 trillion per year when we could have the very best care by far in the world for about $1.5 trillion if you rationalize the system and cut out the profit motives. Give healthcare workers a GOOD salary, but no more than that, there is zero common sense or reasons why doctors need to charge and make so much money, except that they have fancy office buildings, bloated staffs, and so many now are more office manager than they are physicians.
In the VA doctors are employed by the federal government and make at minimum $191,000 base pay per year with bonuses, with the best benefits you can find anywhere, with paid leave and allowances to attend conferences and to learn new skills so to stay on top of new developments in medicine, and all that is not enough for these greedy bastards, so the VA has a hard time hiring them. STOP!
Doctors that are motivated primarily by money should have gone into finance or accounting and left medicine to those that do it for the love of the profession and not for money. Who do you want for your loved ones and self? Someone that needs to make an extra million before the end of the month? Or someone that cares about their patients?
Here even when you pay out of pocket for your “gold” insurance plan you will pay probably between $500 and $800 per month and certain people are not even eligible for them, for example people who smoke, they are offered bronze plans at higher rates and cannot even qualify for the gold plans.
“By the way, what does picking Harris as a running mate say about Joe Biden? “
He’s looking at the polls and is thinking this election is easy to win. Just pick someone who appeals to women and black americans and it’s a slam dunk. Feels eerily similar to the overconfidence of the Dems back in 2016.
For our democracy to be credible, it needs to be seen as representing all Americans. Picking Harris as VP is an important acknowledgement of this, and she is both qualified and well suited for the challenges the next administration will face.
JZ there is one major difference between 2016 and 2020, then Trump was a blowhard and sort of crazy to at least half the people but in fact was an unknown quantity, he is now dispised by at least 60% of the voting population, so the confidence of the democrats is probably warranted.
well isn’t it all about ‘tokenism’? vp as a woman, and she’s not white… that’s what the libs want .. right? gee is that called racism or sexist to select somone based on the color of their skin or their sex instead of their qualifications??
Harris’ asking Kavanaugh if he would take a lie detector test was fair game since Kavanaugh was already on record supporting the use of lie detector tests in hiring decisions. Kavanaugh was not on trial, he was being vetted to be hired to a pretty important job, and there was a serious, credible accusation against him.
Serious? OK. Credible???? man, have I got an overpass for ya (Start w/overpass, sets the hook)
Funny how when it is a republican right winger the accusations are NEVER credible, but when it is a pizza parlor with a child sex ring in the back room it is so credible that nuts show up with AK’s and try to take the place apart. Yeah, no double standards there at all. In fact there were SEVERAL credible witnesses against O’Kavanaugh.
Kamala represents the status quo. The blue team is portraying her as a stalwart for women and minorities, which is false, and the red team is characterizing her as a far lefty, also untrue. It looks like there is already chatter online about where her parents are from, similar to the Obama birther debate, but this is a waste of time.
Harris represents the “left” in the manner of the Clintons or Obama, just as the “right” is represented by Trump or the Bush family. These labels are meaningless, all that matters is that the Harris will continue screwing the poor and middle class while protecting the very wealthy, just like every other mainstream politician. The Fed and MIC will win, regular people will lose.
Meet the new boss…
Wheree a person’s parents are from no matter if that is India or Mars simply does not matter, the constitution is very clear about what qualifications are for the office and the national origin of one’s parents has nothing at all to do with that. I would qualify even though my father was an Irish citizen and I have as a result dual citizenship in the US and Ireland/EU. Because I was born in California I am a US citizen and that is all that is required other than the other things like must have lived in the US 14 years, and be at least 35.
Notice that it is ONLY the GOP which is concerned with this. Though I think a fair argument can be made that having a Croatian former hooker as a wife might cross the line for eligibility, and being an employee of Tsar Vladimir’s CERTAINLY crosses the line.
Your bar for Harris seems to be wound with a double standard. Dont let perfect be the enemy of good.
Today she showed it isnt about politics.
“America is crying out for leadership. Yet we have a President who cares more about himself than the people who elected him,” said Harris, who abandoned her own bid for the White House less than a year ago before a single vote was cast. “As someone who has presented my fair share of arguments in court, the case against Donald Trump and Mike Pence is open and shut.”
Trump can attack however he wants but he is worse in every way.
Judging with tRump as the standard, any candidate would be a saint. This election is about tRump vs. anybody else. The choice should be pretty easy.
Mish – Just curious, would you use the term “nasty” in reference to Trump?
Your objection to the ticket seems to be less due to libertarian ideology, and more due to other factors? The factors you cite don’t seem all that significant and even petty in the context of where we are at right now as a country?
Both Biden and Harris have what I would refer to as “nuanced” histories, I don’t think you will find anyone that doesn’t. I think she is well qualified to address many of the issues our country faces, based on her background and experiences. My sense is that she is pragmatic, as opposed to an idealogue, which I think is important. She also has the intellectual training and capacity to understand complex issues. I believe she is someone that will use these skills to try to represent the entire country to her best ability and I support her and Biden and wish them the best.
Sorry – meant “nauseating” in the 1st line above…..
Factors don’t seem significant? Either you can’t read or didn’t read Mish’s article. Having no soul, no conscience is as significant as it gets.
Do you really believe she has no soul or conscience?? and compared to what??
This is funny. Trump is president and its Harris without conscious or soul after 160k people have died under Trump’s watch.
Not comparing, just a standalone observation about a below average public official.
If she is below average then Trump is responsible for 160k deaths.
“Trump is responsible for 160k deaths.”
Interesting opinion… So according to you, there would be zero deaths if we would have had anybody else at the helm? Please enlighten us! Or do you mean: “if she is below average then the moon is made of cheese”? As a way of stating your opinion that she’s good?
She work Willie and she will work the country over if she gets the slightest chance. Wonder is she will have more achieved money than Oboma when she gets out of office?
“Nauseating” is a harsh term to use for another human being, and is similar to Trump’s use of the term “nasty” to describe his political opponents. Particularly when used without explanation as to why, it is a term that tends to polarize the debate and drag things into the mud, as we unfortunately saw with some of the responses yesterday. It would be much better to just state that one does not plan to vote for the ticket because f x, y and z, and then others can evaluate the reasons for themselves, instead of leaping to inappropriate conclusions. Thanks for your follow-up post doing so.
Exactly. I find Mish nauseating sometimes but that’s how he makes money.
“Nauseating” is certainly a harsh term when used without explanation as to why… But then Mish clearly did explain that (did you read the article?), so that point is moot.
Donald Trump will drop out and Ivanka Trump will take over. America can NOT resist a hot blonde. It’s a true game changer.
Hot Blonde vs Confused Old Man/Problematic Minority.
Trump Family wins again.
Melania should run then.. Ivanka is freaky looking from bad plastic surgery.
Ewwww
Can she stand against Xi or Putin? LOL
Vote Kamala! Destroy America!
Trump will win and the next day there will be a huge riot.
Good. About time we use those rubber bullets and tear gas. Send ’em to rioters to work camps.
you mean a huge tantrum?
