The hate politics is now at full throttle.

Damn -- they [italic]are[/italic] desperate.

They’re not worried at all 🙄

And great optics attacking a female. Should go over great with half the electorate.

OP, you can call it "hate politics." I prefer to call it "going comically overboard with massive overreactions to Biden dropping out," and obviously this is all performative (the asshole who suggested "impeachment" is playing to his Tennessee Bumfucke supporters).

The *actual* "hate politics" will be coming from fuckers who attack Harris for her race or gender, and of COURSE J.D. Vance has already done so by "questioning" why "Miss Kamala" never wanted to stay home birthin' babies for her man. 🙄

This will go nowhere. They would be lucky to get it out of committee, but there is exactly zero chance that they could get the votes in the entire house. They would need every single Republican to approve, and that is just not going to happen.

I mean even Rashida Tlaib at least waited until Trump was an elected to even say that idea.

R3, I agree with some of what you say, but coming from a representative from Tennessee, I see it as trying to block the process motivated by racial hate and politics.

"There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face"... Life in The Fast Lane

That guy has serious pillowface

I forgot to mention it also reeks of desperation.

^ It sure does. This guy is literally screaming, "We can't win on policy or platform, so we have to resort to dirty tricks"

This game is getting really old really fast. Impeach everyone I don't like

We need to declare the Republican Party a terrorist organization and just start rounding them up

Biden can do it under Presidential Immunity

“If they don’t vote the way I do it’s rigged, send them to the firing squads!”

You can almost smell the desperation:

Impeachment means nothing now. US politics has become a parody. Donald Cunt was impeached twice and still is seen as a viable candidate for election (and that’s nothing compared to his long list of crimes).

Were impeachment proceedings this common before Donald Trump? It seems like this happens every month.

Andy Ogles is the world's largest pile of hot, steaming dog shit

Any bets that this guy is fucking 12 year olds?

I said it so it must be true 😏

I listened to some right-wing radio today.

The racist and sexist vitriol directed at Kamala was off the charts. It was gross, although not at all unexpected. It tells me how scared they are of her. At the same time, such rhetoric will surely alienate the voters that they so desperately need to win in November.

I can only guess it's going to help Kamala, because it both turns off women and people of color, and because Americans -- at least the sane ones -- are utterly exhausted by such childish rhetoric.

As I said in another thread, women are going to hand this election to the Dems.

^They fucking better

Even MAGA voters that the Republican Congress is full of shit with their "Impeachment" calls.

There's already a doctored photo of Kamala with Epstein.

They do like to stick to their greatest hits.

Desperation has an ugly smell. Mainstream general election voters not going to be much impressed and will likely help the Dems.

Remember when impeachment was a ”break glass in case of emergency” measure that we learned about in US history class because of Andrew Johnson? Now it’s just politics as usual. I fucking hate these people.

The US really has become a caricature of itself.

They could at least try to act like they’re not absolutely terrified of losing it all in this election. Once we elect a black woman to the Presidency, it might as well be game over for the fascist dream of white male supremacy.

R24 And may those days be gone forever.

I have been watching Black People reacting to Kamala and a lot of black people are not down with Kamala. There is a black professor who has a video out called an inconvenient truth about Democrats. It's pretty damning but I'm surprised some people watching it didn't know the Democrats have a very dark history. A lot of black people's video blogs are airing this. A lot of people don't know about the Democrat's history. I knew most of the history and every time I have pointed it out I have been called right-wing by white people. And I have been a Democrat all my life.

Can we collectively take this opportunity to point out how the right wing’s version of “Identity Politics” really work? God knows the right always complains about the left’s obsession with “Identity politics.” And in some of those cases I actually agree, there can be some downright stupid examples of tokenism and identity pandering on the left. But the fucking right wingers…

The right winger version of identity politics is a never-ending obsession with who is a “real American,” who’s the most “patriotic” - whatever the fuck that even means anymore. Who cucks themselves for wealthy corporations for 60 or 80 hours a week because “DERP I’m a hard worker!!” It’s a tedious competition among these people to see who can fap themselves to the American flag the most enthusiastically. It’s all a vapid, superficial facade designed by the wealthy power players of the Republican Party to garner appeal to the most low-information reactionary trash of society with no intellect and no understanding of history. They are contemptible filth and we’ll be collectively better off when they’ve all died off. Let them burn in the pits they’ve dug for themselves.

People decry the division in society? Well look around. I would say division is fucking well called for sometimes. These are people I don’t want any form of unity with whatsoever.

I would rather be locked in a room with some insufferable, purple haired harpy with a TikTok following than these one-dimensional right winger dumbfucks who all of this agitprop is intended for.

And to this day, the phrase “Identity Politics” is something reserved almost exclusively to describe something the left does. The right’s version of it is so hard-coded into their worldview that they never even see it.

The point is for the words "impeach" and "ka-MAH-la" to be attached and reiterated over and over in the media. It taints you, and pretty soon the weak-minded will see her as shabby, damaged goods.

R26 = Russian TROLL

@r126, " And I have been a Democrat all my life."

That's odd, I've been an idiot named Boris all my life 🤔

Because their last two attempts at impeachment went so well for them.

R26's "a lot of black people" = Trump's "many people are saying"

[quote]A lot of people don't know about the Democrat's history.

And apparently you don't know that the racist KKK faction of the party jumped to the Republicans after LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

^ That's hilarious that trolls are still pushing that "Dems used to be bad" from the last election when every American who took grade school American history knows about the side switching that occurred

Trolls, save your stupid for the Fox News junkies

[quote] Remember when impeachment was a ”break glass in case of emergency” measure that we learned about in US history class because of Andrew Johnson? Now it’s just politics as usual. I fucking hate these people.

The Repugs started it with their entrapment impeachment of Clinton for lying about a blowjob

Then dump steals state secrets and those assholes are surprised that he gets impeached for it

Now they have to impeach everyone just to get even

"I have been watching Black People reacting to Kamala and a lot of black people are not down with Kamala."

Yet we raised several million for her on 2 Zooms. Do tell me again how "a lot" of us are not down with her.

Fighting over who gets to suck Trump's dick

I’ve been a fairly tolerant DL user of late, reading and dismissing most trollery, but every troll bot is getting the boot from me now, even those who are “life long Democrats”, because of course they are. I bet they voted for Obama too! (But only once.) Telling us what Black people are “down” with, when they likely aren’t even Black, well that bot is almost sentient.

Couldn't be more blocked.

^ I started that a couple of weeks ago. I'm up to 10 troll/bots blocked. It feels really good 🙂

R38 I get it. However, I AM Black and constantly get accused of not being.

^ Well, do you speak jive, Mrs. Cleaver?

[quote]The Repugs started it with their entrapment impeachment of Clinton for lying about a blowjob

Payback for forcing Nixon out. The Rs long ago fixated on his imperial presidency and have done everything possible to make it real.

Damn, R27. You can write a post! I tell you. I honestly feel a little aroused. Go get ‘em!

I'm laughing at that traitorous cold bitch Usha - I look forward to watching her fake uncomfortable smile as her husbands team says the most hateful and vile things imaginable about women, indians, and colored people. I wonder what she'll say to deflect when she's inevitably asked about the hypocrisy.

^ She married a white westerner. In Indian culture that means the bitch won. Nothing else matters

One thing I've sadly noticed among some is that racism (to a lesser extent sexism) would explain every voter who isn't a Harris fan.

I've been skeptical of her myself; however, she seems to be giving this run everything she's got. I don't feel the need to "bond" with her, it's about a normal administration vs. a clown car zoo.

The Repugs are just going to recycle all the lame dogwhistles they used against "Barack Hussein Obama." It didn't work then and it sure isn't going to work now.

^ That's Republicans, keep repeating the same failed behavior and hope for different results

There was a big difference between the two and the difference is between their legs. I still don't think a woman will be elected anytime soon. It doesn't help that the Secret Service put a lot of women in and they couldn't do the Job. Men don't want women running the military in this country. Men look down on women more now than ever.

[quote]Men don't want women running the military in this country.

They (you) are not going to have a choice

Don't get your hopes up too much. Remember what happened the last time a woman tried to become president and I don't think things have changed much. Once the honeymoon is over Kamala may do as poorly as she did in 2020. She is not nearly as popular as Hillary was.

Eat pussy, straight boy

I reject this impeachment. However, we will be holding hearings on whether she's a witch.

r52 is very concerned. Please comfort our sad sister!

Who are you talking to R53

R52 has been watching Fox news. Hannity referred to Kamala's "moment" as a honeymoon and now all the right wing bots are using it.

R53 I am not a male. CNN has said that things could change after the honeymoon was over.

OP where was the hate in your linked articles of impeachment, which were filed LAST YEAR? They are about the border. Majorkas also had articles of impeachment filed against him, for the same reason. ffs. A disagreement over policy doesn’t automatically become a hate crime.

The Trump Cult is angry, my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli!

True r58, especially after r26 explains to them, that Kamala is probably in the Klan, like all Democrats.

Ironic he's from Tennessee when Tennessee Democrats were the first to pledge all of their delegates to Harris.

Kamala energizes women (who are also motivated this time around by abortion bans), youth, and Black voters.

If I were in the GOP, I'd be desperate too.

The sexist/racist attacks appeal to MAGAs, who were never going to vote for the Democratic nominee anyway.

These attacks are a terrible miscalculation, but they just can't help themselves.

Dems should constantly remind voters that the GOP-led House has done nothing to make the lives of Americans better.

[quote]She is not nearly as popular as Hillary was.

But, she doesn't have Robbie Mook running her campaign.

This is the Trump campaign totally not worried about Kamala:

"The Trump campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign cannot take over President Joe Biden’s campaign’s money, calling it a violation of campaign finance contribution limit."

Hopefully r66 that complaint will be handled with all the ass dragging and nothingness that the FEC handles complaints against Trump.

The New Republic

Impeached for the high crime of not being a Republican

The "laughing Kamala" insults have a racial overtone, a la "Shine"

Ironic that the GOP congressmembers are voting to rebuke Harris over the border, forgetting they blocked a strong bill to address it.

And of course trump failed miserably with his stupid "build a wall" rant and the horrific separating children from parents policy.

The blatant lies and hypocrisy of the GOP is beyond belief, yet true.

r71 Johnson looks so creepy.

Johnson is a total closet case. I'd put money on it.

Impeachment has become all but meaningless now. The GOP uses it for the flimsiest of pretexts, it's all "you did it to us so now we're doing it to you because we can and we want to" regardless of the purported reason. It really is that juvenile.

I love watching the pukes squeal. They need to switch out the Elephant for a pig as their mascot. Although it’s both an insult to pigs and elephants to be associated with the pukes.

R27 Conservatives are the OGs of Identity Politics. It was born the very moment a non-white-male was allowed to vote. Liberals just borrowed from their playbook and beat them at their own game.

[quote] Although it’s both an insult to pigs and elephants to be associated with the pukes.

Both highly intelligent animals. A turkey might be more appropriate.

How about a dead unidentifiable rotting carcass? There's no functioning brain and it stinks to high heaven.

R71 it's totally disingenuous. she was given a very specific task that had something to do with researching the cause of displacement coming from certain countries and make policy recommendations to address that and only that. she did and the incoming immigration from relevant countries apparently dropped. this is the information i recall getting. so she DID do her job and knocked it out of the park but it was very narrow in scope. that's impossible to explain to the average American adult - who is nearly illiterate - so they'll just have to call it a lie with conviction and not get caught up in this topic.

PREACH r79!

… according to r79. That's what you call “preach”, r80. A vague, unsourced claim about a vague (“something to do with”) research project Kamala was given, and an unsourced claim about knocking it out of the park, never reported by the press, anywhere.

Okay then. Back in real life, the Harris campaign needs to decide how to address why her office never denied the title of “border czar” she was given, what she was actually charged with doing under that informal title of responsibility, what she did, and what the results were.

Face it squarely. Be straight with the electorate, and deal with the issue transparently.
