#1  Separation of powers. I don’t know the California constitution at all, but usually Senators are not subject to recall. Most Dem politicians in California are wary of provoking the Pelosi\Newsom mafia.

Tim Walz's Brother: He's ‘Not the Type of Character You Want Making Decisions About Your Future'
[Breitbart] In a Facebook post from March 2023, Jeff Walz, one of the Minnesota governor’s siblings, responded to comments from people telling him to talk to his brother and to “help MAGA.”

“We’ve just become a third-world banana republic,” Jeff Walz wrote in his post at the time.

In another comment, a person told him to "Help MAGA" and "Get on stage with President Trump and endorse him."

"Help save this country," the person added.

"I’ve thought hard about doing something like that," Jeff Walz responded. "I’m torn between that and just keeping my family out of it. The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future."



Dunno, but my "Spidey Sense" tells me the stories he could tell may be available to the highest bidder.

#1  The most disturbing aspect of Walz' nomination is that it implies that the Democrat party openly embraces the anarcho-tyranny Walz practiced during BLM/Corona.

Politicians of that persuasion should not make any decisions about anyone's present or future.

#2  Powerline:
Tim Walz, Snitch [Updated]

One of Tim Walz’s themes in his speech in Philadelphia today was “Mind your own damn business.” This is beyond ironic. There is no aspect your life, or your children’s lives, that Walz does not consider to be his business. He advises his fellow Democrats not to shy away from socialism, which is just being “neighborly.” Right. God preserve us from neighbors like that.

Which brings us to the Walz Snitch Line. At the beginning of the covid epidemic, Walz issued an executive order that prohibited any resident of Minnesota from leaving his or her house, except as permitted by him. It was perhaps the most overtly fascist measure in America’s history. Walz then set up a snitch line, so that Minnesotans could phone in, anonymously, and rat out their neighbors if they violated Walz’s “stay at home” order:

#3  Walz has a weirdo vibe. Kamala has the same vibe, but anything about their personal lives is likely Russian disinformation. Fooled me once.

MSNBC's Attempt to Engender Sympathy for Kamala Harris on the Basis of Race Backfires When Mixed-Race Voter Delivers Brutal Response
[GatewayPundit] Liberal MSNBC's attempt to engender sympathy for Kamala Harris
It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day
based on skin color backfired spectacularly this morning after a brutal response from a mixed-race voter.

The network gathered a panel of mixed-race voters to discuss their thoughts on the Presidential race. During the segment, the 'journalist' asked the voters whether they felt a ''kinship'' with Harris because she is multiracial (Harris is part Black and part Asian) like them.

But she got more than she bargained for when one of the voters said no and went on to rip Harris' poor leadership qualities, particularly when the world was blowing up.

She then twisted the knife by blasting Harris for her tendency to laugh at inappropriate times. As The Gateway Pundit readers know, Harris has a horrendous habit of cackling when nervous or unsure of herself.

    Questioner: Do you feel some sort of kinship towards her (Harris) as a mixed person?

    Voter: Not personally. I find a lot of her trajectory to not be my brand of woman leader.

    We got three major international crises going on and someone applying to be commander-in-chief. As a woman, I want to see you do more than appeal to giggling and having a girl moment on stage.

#1 

She looks Whiter than OBAMA, and he was 5/8's White according to even Newsweek Mag.

#2  If we just judge Kamal by the content of her character, intelligence and maturity, she is a poorer choice for the presidency than fifty percent of the people in America who are eligible for the presidency. Because of the reality Biden’s mental condition, Kamala should already be president. The system that produced this outcome is broken.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, per se.

#10  Thanks. In most such cases I know the difference, but entering text on this sad little phone seems to discombobulate me enough that (what passes for) meaning gets deprioritized. Embarrassing, though. :) But what really bugs me is when the brain just grabs a rhyme and runs away with it. As if it had a mind of its own! Recent "Badr" clanger, say. Cringe-o-rama.

MSNBC host rages after seeing polls showing Trump leading, calls Electoral College a 'suicide pact'
[FoxNews] MSNBC host Chris Hayes fumed over new poll results showing former President Trump as the favorite to win the Electoral College and therefore the presidency in November.

On his X account Friday, the "All in With Chris Hayes" anchor blasted recent poll results from famed pollster Nate Silver showing that Harris would most likely beat Trump in the national popular vote if the election were held today, though Trump would win the Electoral College.

"It’s clear as day the Electoral College is, to quote the great Justice Jackson a national suicide pact," Hayes posted.

The media pundit’s statement referenced a quote from Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, who wrote in 1949 that the Supreme Court "will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact" if it doesn’t balance its "doctrine logic with a little practical wisdom."

Hayes seemed to be using the quote to suggest that the U.S.’s commitment to deciding presidential elections using the Electoral College system — which progressive Democratic politicians believe is obsolete — will needlessly result in the catastrophe of Trump returning to the White House.

The poll Hayes expressed frustration over was Silver’s latest election model, which was shared by finance journalist "Geiger Capital" on X on Thursday.

Describing the model, the X account stated, "Just like that... Trump — 52%. Harris — 47%. Trump is now back to being the favorite in Nate Silver’s election model. Harris is favored in the popular vote but an Electoral College underdog. It’s largely due to Pennsylvania (where she passed on Josh Shapiro for VP)."

Look at the deeper hidden issue.

All it takes is 1 LIBERAL controlled Administration to remove it, and adjust your rights according to what they want and what they feel you should be required to know and do also.

Remember, they have the MSM/NEA and etc. re-educating the Smartphone generation on a daily basis.

#2  Without the Electoral College, you'd have only about 62-63 counties controlling the Presidential elections.

#3  The ignorance about the Constitution abounds. In its basic form, the Constitution is agreement of shared common interests among 13 sovereign states. It was ratified by the states, not by popular vote. The states were not interested in dissolving themselves for the concentration and centralization of power that the commies seek.

#8  This stooge championed an outcome where we “elected” a senile man and a VP so much worse than the senile man that no one wants to see her take over for him. Now we face the possibility of electing Kamala as President with her VP giving everyone a Jerry Sandusky impression. Yet the electoral college which might prevent their coronation is, somehow, a suicide pact.

'Uncommitted' Nightmare Haunts Harris as CNN Interview Further Fractures Base
Long and detailed. Here are the opening paragraphs:
[Breitbart] Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris
So Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong
is facing a severe crisis with the pro-Paleostinian wing of her party after she doubled down on her and President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
’s Israel policies in her CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
interview Thursday.

CNN’s Dana Bash pressed Harris on arms policy toward Israel on Thursday night. After Harris initially skirted a direct question about potentially withholding "some" arms to Israel, as the pro-Paleostinian Uncommitted movement has been demanding for seven months, Bash did not let her off the hook. Following up on the same question, she drew a "No" from Harris when she asked if there would be any "change in policy in terms of arms and so forth" towards Israel, igniting a frenzy of condemnation from prominent pro-Paleostinian figures, including Rep. Rashida Tlaib
...the very first ever Paleostinian-American ever sworn into Congress in 2019. She is a member of The Squad and consistently votes against the U.S. national interest. She's a Dem, naturally, from a safe district you wouldn't want to live in (Michigan's 12th congressional district). She wants the country to be kinda like Gaza only without any Jews for neighbors...
(D-MI).

The response and the fallout underscore and worsen a massive problem for Harris, who has a fractured base heading into the home stretch of the election. These voters, more than half a million of whom protested the Biden-Harris administration with "uncommitted" votes in the Democratic primary, have threatened and continue to threaten to stay home in November, barring a radical change in policy or a cease-fire. The movement includes Arab Americans, Moslems, young voters, and far-left progressives.

Making the problem so severe for Harris is that the movement began in the ever-critical swing state of Michigan and spread to other key swing states like Wisconsin, places where the presidency is expected to be decided by a slim margin. Harris is on shaky ground, considering she still has not brought home her base at a point in the cycle where presidential candidates typically are focused on courting moderates.

Another aspect to contemplate is that if Harris does change course on this position, she runs the risk of looking that much more insincere to undecided voters on crucial issues. She has already waffled on a number of critical policy positions, including fracking, and polling shows the public views former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
as the more genuine candidate by a wide margin. Regardless, the issue has festered so long that winning these voters back with words alone appears impossible. At this point, she needs a concrete stoppage in arms and a ceasefire, which are not on the horizon.

#1  The Dem candidate is supposed to have the opportunity to pander to the whacko base in the primaries before modifying all their positions to satisfy the Dem middle of the roaders after the convention. They have stood the process on its head and the base is upset. She is trying to signal to them that her core crazy values remain intact. Maybe she can blink a message to them in Morse code in her next scripted interview. Pulling that off would require a lot of sobriety.
