Chicken. Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Funny quote from Kamala's dad... he didn't appreciate her joke although it was likely a good move politically to be more relatable. I would think the amount of young people using cannabis (at least trying it) must be over 50% now Quote Ms Harris caused controversy last year when she admitted to smoking cannabis when she was younger. "Half my family's from Jamaica. Are you kidding me?" she told The Breakfast Club radio show. While the statement would have made some warm to Ms Harris, who was then one of the front-runners to be the Democratic nominee, it angered one Jamaican in particular - her father. Donald J. Harris, the emeritus professor of economics at Stanford University, said that his deceased grandparents and parents "must be turning in their grave" to see the family name and Jamaican identity "being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics".

NewbieCanuckFan Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Full credit to Sarah Palin (never thought I'd ever utter those words.....) for the attached quotes regarding Biden's VP pick. Pretty much classy and without that MAGA **** and / or name calling. Well done (again, more words I never thought I'd use in the same sentence with Palin lol). Gives one hope at least (as the US government was built of compromise). Edited August 12, 2020 by NewbieCanuckFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 2 hours ago, ForsbergTheGreat said: Funny I was thinking the same thing. Meh, kind of a non story. And I think Harris would probably stand by that “I believe them” statement, even today. I mean, even Biden himself believed them, took responsibility, apologized, and vowed to be more respectful of people’s personal space in the future. It would maybe be a different story if Harris had said she “believed” Tara Reade. But when it comes to Reade, Harris said that she “has a right to tell her story. And I believe that and I believe Joe Biden believes that, too. Women must be able to speak without fear of retaliation.” However, she also said that she could “only speak to the Joe Biden I know. He’s been a lifelong fighter, in terms of stopping violence against women. The Joe Biden I know is somebody who really has fought for women and empowerment of women and for women’s equality and rights.” I’m sure the Republicans will try to play all this up as some sort of inconsistency/flip flop, and Harris choosing politics and her own ambition over respecting women, but really, I’ve seen nothing that Harris has actually said about Joe Biden and women, whether as a bitter Primary rival or now as his VP pick, that runs counter to Team Biden’s own messaging and position on these issues. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
