By the way...

I don't know what your game is here, and I have little interest in playing it.

You made a point about people refusing to vote for her on account of two trivial characteristics. I noted the opposite, and that there was no difference between the two groups.

Where you decide to go from there is up to you.

Ah, the fact Harris is a Black woman you believe is "trivial" when it comes to a discussion re American voters rejecting her at the polls.

I don't agree.

Deal with it or not, it's up to you.

 

[The AntiDonald]

I think Harris scuttled Harris' chances. She was an awful candidate. She didn't garner 1 vote in the primaries. She was ordained the candidate without the electorate every having a chance to weigh in. She was the Border Czar over the largest invasion of illegal immigrants in U. S. History. She was, frankly, and inconsequential minor politician who was know to have entered politics as a mistress.

Please don't complain the next time you hear one of us trash Trump. He has earned a much better thrashing than Harris ever could.

Just saying .......

I’d like to see your sources for these claims.

Give it time. We’re only 8 months in.

How much time did you guys give Biden who inherited a ****ed up economy from trump. Trump said he would fix things in day one. Things have only gotten worse

I said the characteristics were trivial.

I don't agree.

The fact you don't think race or sex are trivial characteristics when it comes to the suitability of a candidate for public office says a lot.

Complain? No. Rebut, refute, and own you - probably.

Name one Harris accomplishment. I don't think her ramping up the imprisonment of African-Americans in California counts on the Left - you might want to leave that one out, unless, of course, it's all you got.

BOOKS ON JACKIE ROBINSON, MLK, EINSTEIN TO BE REMOVED FROM U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY IN DEI BAN​

https://blavity.com/jackie-robinson-mlk-books-naval-academy-dei-ban

Politics

The video honoring the Tuskegee Airmen, it is believed, was removed as an act of "malicious compliance" by someone who knew it would cause an issue. In January 2025, the U. S. Navy paused all curriculum in classes that might contain content in conflict with the President's Executive Order. Someone (they may have been identified, I don't know), removed 1 video, "Airmindedness," containing clips on the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASPS). Of course it got out and the Navy quickly rectified the issue. "Airmindedness" spent exactly 4 days out of the curriculum.

Now, on to your second point. The Naval Academy Library contains approximately 600,000 volumes. In April, 900 of those books were placed on a list to be reviewed for compliance with the President's Executive Order. The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr., Einstein on Race and Racism, and a biography of Jackie Robinson were among them. By the end of May (about 2 months), all but 20 books had already been returned to the shelf. Those 20 are still under review. Even 900 books would take time to review. I can't find that these three books are among those that are still unavailable at the Academy library and, again, there's no record of who actually compiled the list of 900 books being pulled from shelves for review.

Further, because it would have taken forever to manually review all 600,000 volumes in the library, the Department of Defense (now War) developed search criteria by which the initial batch of 900 books was identified. At the risk of starting a nitpicking flame war (to which I won't be a party), here are the specific search terms. They all make sense to me, with one exception, "allyship." I have no idea what that is but, I'm satisfied the list (with that possible exception) is in line with the type of materials the Executive Order was looking to exclude. I know you disagree with the Executive Order on principle but, there was not specific targeting of books and, in fact, the vast majority are back on the shelves -- I imagine the 3 books giving you heartburn can, after a brief month-long (probably shorter) absence, can once again be checked out at the library.

The electorate gave him 4 years. He chose to spend most of it at Rehoboth Beach.

I would disagree that things have gotten worse.

Everything you listed is race baiting and sexual identity baiting that you claim the left does, yet you have just proven the the right does that. Thank you.

Oh please...as opposed to what spending time on the golf course. You have nothing. When trump became president again, he was given a robust economy that Biden fixed. All you people did was complain. Now trump needs time. I call BS

Huh? I didn't list anything. I provided a list.

Same thing. The right race baits and makes sexual identity a political issue, not the left. Libertarians beleive in live and let live. You call yourself libertarian-right. I beleive you are MAGA-right.

They seemed like reasonable search terms to me. I guess I don't understand your point or, you don't understand the term "race baiting." Who was being baited by the development of search criteria to limit the number of volumes that were to be reviewed?

Libertarians do not believe in indoctrination or preferential treatment, based on race or any other immutable characteristic humans possess. Everything on the list could be contained in books used to teach either of those principles.

Again, we disagree on this. It's okay.

No one is indoctrinating anyone. The is MAGA bs. As I said the right baits, the left defends

...who's the homophobe?

Kamala Harris reveals her ‘first choice’ for running mate wasn’t Tim Walz: book


Basically saying - I Would Have Picked Bootigieg as VP But I Didn't Want to Run With a Homo

Identity politics will be the death of the Democrat Party.

This is why she isn't president.

It's a stupid thing to say. It's likely true, but when you aspire to lead a nation you DO NOT deliberate drive a spike into an open wound!

If there is one American totally unsuited to leadership it is her!

I saw her as incompetent tail coat riding self promoter who had no connection to the average American. A dumb choice poorly made. The cowards under estimated Trump and decided to over rule their own rules. Integrity was never the issue for a reason!
