The kinds of people we need in government are precisely the kinds of people who are most reluctant to go into government – people who understand the inherent dangers of power and feel a distaste for using it, but who may do so for a few years as a civic duty. The worst kind of people to have in government are those who see it as a golden opportunity to impose their own superior wisdom and virtue on others.

I finally got a chance to watch the VP debate and these are my thoughts:

1. Kamala Harris every time Mike Pence makes any sort of point about her record or position: how dare you say that? that is so mean of you to bring that up :(

2. Kamala Harris has a bad habit of repeating headlines against Donald Trump instead of showing that she’s actually bothered to look into the incidents. This means she is not interested in truth. She is just too ready to believe any bad thing she hears about Trump and will repeat it whether it’s true or not.

3. It is incredibly obvious that Kamala Harris doesn’t care about the virus or its impact. The way she has politicized every single aspect of it shows that dealing with the pandemic isn’t important to her, getting Donald Trump out of the White House is ALL she cares about. She and the media criticize Trump for mishandling the pandemic or for not taking it seriously, but every time he makes a decision about what to do or even suggest certain medicines be looked into, they are immediately opposed to it. Not for any reason other than Donald Trump is behind it (e.g. the whole hydroxychloriquine mess).

4. Kamala Harris was totally wrong about the Abraham Lincoln story she told with that stupid smirk on her face. I can’t think of a single thing she said during the debate that was true.

5. Kamala Harris did not answer the question about packing the Supreme Court, which means yes. To quote Mike Pence “if they can’t win by the rules then they change the rules.” Kamala completely ignored the question even though it was asked to her point blank. All she said was “nobody Trump appointed was a black person!” Honestly? Like so what? There is nothing wrong with that. There is no law that states that if you’re the President you have to appoint at least one black person to the court of appeals. 

So basically this happened:

Mike Pence: are you and Joe Biden going to pack the Supreme Court if you don’t get your way?

Kamala Harris: Donald Trump is a racist and to prove it here is a stupid example of something he did that wasn’t racist.

6. If you can’t tell by now I really dislike Kamala Harris.

7. I hate moderators. All of them.

8. It’s very interesting that after the presidential debate, the left was criticizing Trump because he was aggressive, interrupted a lot, was “childish”, etc. and this time, because Mike Pence was calm and respectful the entire time they are saying he was “boring.” You can’t win with these people. They have no legitimate criticisms. 

Yep! Agree with you 100%. These debates are a joke. Who picks these moderators? I know no more about the Biden/Harris issues than I did before. They have no plan except to get Trump out of the Whitehouse, so Harris can be president.God help us if that happens.

I am totally impressed. You have lost nothing and if he’s smart he’ll be back. I married a man raised in a similar situation. It may take the break up for him to wake up.

I agree with @i-penna  Do not let this man child move in until he can live on his own, or you will come to resent him. He needs to know how to cook, do laundry, shop and prepare food. Everyone does. I’m a firm believer in high school courses in home economics, and shop. For both males and females. We ladies need to know how to make small repairs, and keep a car maintained.

It’s not shocking to see the left completely shift their principles based on who is being accused of sex crimes, but it is always disappointing to see them get away with such blatant, disgusting hypocrisy and it makes me angry.

When Brett Kavanaugh was accused of sexually assaulting someone over three decades ago, the left rallied in support of Christine Blasey-Ford and made sure that Brett Kavanaugh was seen as criminal guilty of sexual assault regardless of the fact that there was not a shred of evidence against him and his accuser’s account wasn’t even remotely credible as she could not remember where or when this event took place, who was at the party where it supposedly happened and the people she did name said the party never happened or they had no memory of it or they weren’t there. She literally had nothing. Yet Kavanaugh was put on trial and was found guilty in the court of public opinion. The story was everywhere. Blasey-Ford was deemed a hero, a champion of women’s rights and a survivor, even thought there was not a single shred of evidence to corroborate her story and all the evidence that was put forward threw doubt on her account and supported the idea that Kavanaugh was actually innocent. But none of that mattered because Blasey-Ford had the media, career politicians and celebrities on her side.

Alyssa Milano was a big supporter of her and condemned Kavanaugh when there had been no due process.

And it’s not just Alyssa Milano, it’s Nancy Pelosi, the mainstream media and much of the average leftists and feminists who #believeallwomen. This is what opinion columnist Michelle Goldberg published in the New York Times during the Kavanaugh hearing.

But what about now that Joe Biden has been accused?

Recently, a woman named Tara Reade has come out with an accusation of Joe Biden sexually assaulting her in 1993. This accusation is far more credible than Christine Blasey-Ford’s accusation ever was, but does Tara Reade get the same support from the #believeallwoman Blasey-Ford supporters? Absolutely not. 

Opinion columnist Michelle Goldberg wrote about Tara Reade’s allegations. Is she supporting the alleged victim?

Nope. Christine Blasey-Ford is a hero, Tara Reade is a troll. It’s disgusting.

And Alyssa Milano, when a hero of hers gets accused, learns what due process is:

Alyssa Milano: “I believe that even though we should believe women, and that is an important thing, what that statement really means is, like, you know, for so long the go-to has been not to believe them. So really we have to sort of societally change that mindset to believing women, but that does not mean at the expense of not, um, you know, giving men their due process and investigating situations and giving…you know, it’s gotta be fair in both directions.”

Here’s the thing: I actually agree with Alyssa Milano here. We should not be believing anyone at the expense of another’s due process. She is absolutely right. But the problem is she doesn’t believe that! That is not what the statement believe all women really means, that’s what it should mean, but that is certainly not how it has been applied. That’s certainly not what Alyssa Milano thought it meant when Kavanaugh was the subject of accusations. It, for some reason, only started to mean that when someone she liked was accused. 

This is very revealing and it reveals something disturbing. If you’re willing to change your principles on a whim depending on who is the subject of an issue, do you really hold those principles to begin with? No, you don’t. These people don’t believe in due process and they don’t #believeallwomen. They believe in one thing: their narrative. 

If you only believe all women when someone you don’t like is accused of something then you don’t believe all women. You just believe women when believing them will support your agenda. If you only believe in due process when someone you like is accused, then you don’t believe in due process. You just believe that people who are in line with your political agenda should have due process. 

I actually do believe in due process. I was vocal about it during the Kavanaugh episode and even though I don’t like Joe Biden at all and do not support him or any of his ideas and think he’s done some pretty rotten things, I still believe in him getting due process because I believe in due process, not in people. That is why I’m not saying he’s guilty. I don’t know if he is or not. I have my suspicions and my own opinions on the situation but I’m not picking sides at this time because of due process.

Alyssa Milano doesn’t believe in due process. Or she doesn’t understand it. Due process is not something you can pick and choose to apply based on who is accused of something. Everyone is entitled to it. Even people you don’t like. She was ready to condemn Kavanaugh over an accusation with absolutely no credibility, but reserves judgment on Biden when there is an accusation with some credibility. And she doesn’t have enough self awareness to realize this. 

It aggravates me to no end. These people prove time and time again how fake they are. They don’t even try to hide it and they always get away with it.

This is potentially life saving information everyone should know.

No you guys this post helped me find my cat. He was missing for almost a month and I’ve had him for over 12 years. After seeing this I put his favorite blanket he always slept on outside hoping he would smell mine or his scent and he was back the next fucking day asleep on it.

When my cat got out, we called and called for him, and then, later that night, I remembered similar advice to this, and so put his little scratching pad, which he adores, on the front porch. Not even half an hour later, I heard a thump, opened the door, and there was his big butt, meowing at me.

Important and vital

When filling out your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address:

Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, 8901 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland 20813. Cards will go to the Wounded Warrior Unit and or Fischer Houses! If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful, special people, who have sacrificed so much would get. ♥ Please copy and post on your wall 🦅🇺🇸️🇺🇸️🇺🇸️🇺🇸️🇺🇸

The city right near my home town just had a mass shooting. Four people are dead. Tell me again how gun control isn’t necessary.

It’s horrible that this shooting happened and that people lost their lives. We all want this to stop, but how would gun control fix It?

The word “Control” is jumping out in this exchange. Someone or some entity wants to control everyone else. Ask the United Kingdom how that’s working out for them.

PLEASE consider helping if you are able to. A guy I know is experiencing a tremendous tragedy right now– his dog is all that he has, and she was hit by a car and left for dead. The person that called about a dog on the road didn’t even stop to check on her. She’s at the emergency hospital right now (the ONLY animal ER in our region) and due to people abusing their generosity, they do not do payment systems and require funds prior to surgery.  IF YOU CANNOT DONATE PLEASE SHARE.
