Kamala(Indian or Black) Warren(Pocahontas)Who can claim what? On the one hand have we forgotten the one drop rule. One drop of African ancestry makes you black with no limit on generational dilution. Maybe AmericanIndian too. I guess that makes me Welsh. Scratch the surface...

To Journalists Everywhere : Forget the arguments and the mumbo-jumbo of the presidential records act and whether he was allowed to take and have the papers etc; Why doesn't someone ask him WHY he took the papers in the first place? What was he planning to do with them? Simple!

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

Someone explain this to me, please: why does a billionaire need to beg money from the public either for legal fees or for financing a campaign or for anything else; and people who think the government is the enemy and want to abolish it, why are they on the government payroll?

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

What if McConnell&co hadn't played fast and loose with Obama's Supreme Court nominee? Merrick Garland would not be hounding trump. Maybe someone else, maybe not -- or not as doggedly. The law of unintended consequences. Be careful what you wish for

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

I figured it out. Trump and his ilk never played Little League baseball. They never learned to lose, never learned to be good sports. Soccer and those (0-0) tie games -- out. Vince Lombardi’s winning is everything -- also out. Bring back little league baseball.

If you use this platform (as I'm doing now), if you support any of the companies who advertise here, what does it say about you/us? How we spend, where our monies go is a political statement.

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

Can someone please explain to me why these hyper-rich people, Trump and Bannon et al, need to scam and skim to get their hands into poor people's pockets. Aren't they rich enough? Why do billionaires need to raise $? Didnt Trump say he'd pay for his campaign with his own $?

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

I'm beginning to wonder now if the repubs and FxNews are in fact all conspiring against Trump. All the noise the bluster up is more expository than if they all just shut up. But like Trump himself, they never miss an opportunity to put a foot in it

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

Thanks, Mitch! Your SCOTUS shenanigans kept Garland off the court in put him in Trump's basement. Good move

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

Arguably racist, in bed with white supremacists, sexist, accused of sexual mis-behaving... ain't it rich that he might go down under a Black Woman! Go Fani Willis!!

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

...3/5 perhaps; but you really didn't count at all. Hm... perhaps you still don't!

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

... for those who don't know, the Equal Protection clause of the 14th is at play in Dobbs as it was in Loving as it was in Brown as it was in Plessy. If we're looking for historical context, Clarence, and the framers, why not go back to 1787 when you were merely 3/5 of a person?

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

I figured it out. It's not about abortion. Clarence wants to ditch Ginni (who wouldn't?). Or Ginni wants to ditch Clarence (again, who wouldn't?) and has used her sway over him to sneak through a turn-back of the clock to pre-Loving vs Virginia, ending their interracial marriage

TV stars in the presidency: the Ukranians get Zelenskyy; we got Trump.

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

A return to the good ol' days. An all-white jury acquits a white man who killed someone in plain view. At least this time the victims were white not black - that's progress - and it took place in the North. More progress, instead of canes to Preston Brooks, AR-15s to Rittenhouse

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

Hannity: I don't know any conservatives who even know what QAnon is
McCarthy: I can't pronounce QAnon, don't know what it is
Trump: I know nothing about Qanon, never heard of the ProudBoys
Harris: Politicians and news sources dumber, less informed and bigger liars than I am. WOW!

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

Why hasn't some crafty reporter asked Trump how he will feel about the fixed/rigged/crooked election if he wins? Will those results also be suspect?

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

Book burning? Instead of taking Huck Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird off library shelves what if we remove the book that has been used for a long time to dehumanize black people and to justify their enslavement and notions of their inferiority? Ideas not words are the true dangers

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

And of course: "It's a matter of indifference to me what a weak western European civilization will say about me."
Could easily be Trump. But it's Hitler again.
What does it say about US?

[Eddy L. Harris @EddyLHarris]

Adolph Hitler, on his way to annihilate Poland, spoke of the world's indifference: Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?
Henry Kissinger, on the Kurds in 1972: Promise them anything, give them what they get, and fuck them if they can’t take a joke.
