Lion Kamala Harris should say that a vote for Trump is a vote for razor wire and wire hangers, by Hal Brown, MSW

 

I was originally was going to use "Trump has a final solution for dealing with the border crisis, Harris must offer a humane resolution" as my title but then decided not to "go there" with the term "final solution", at least not in my blog title. 

Then I thought that the sadistic malignant narcissist didn't just enjoy making brown skinned people trying to cross the border suffer to poltically exploit the fears of his base, he also wants to make women who wanted to control their bodies suffer.

If you've seen clips of Trump's rallies you know that he is still ranting about rapists coming across the border. It should be unnecessary to point out that coming from him this is a juicy one, just ask E. Jean Carroll. 

Harris has to counter this fear-mongering by continuing to remind voters that it was Trump who made sure that Biden and her tough immigration bill never saw the light of day. She can say he made sure it was buried like he is trying to bury all the criminal behavior he's been charged with.

The word "tough" should preface appropriate descriptions of Kamala Harris and her policies. She and those who campaign for her should use this word whenever possible using her career as a prosecutor to remind people that she put people who actually deserved to be behind bars in prison.

Harris has to explain how tough the immigration bill was and how when she's president she would make certain it is passed. She needs to call out Trump for his absurd lie about her being for open borders.

When talking about how she wants to deal with the border crisis she should emphasize the word "humane" and say that as Americans we are far better than the cruel heartless country Trump and Vance want to turn us into. She doesn't have to recycle the line that America was built on the hard work and sacrifices of immigrants. She can, however, remind voters that Trump himself married an immigrant and that J.D. Vance's wife's parents came form India.

Then she can switch gears with the finesse of the Indy drivers Trump thinks should run the military (really) and segue into talking about family planning.

She should address the plight of women who want to end their pregnancies. I think she should avoid the word abortion when possible, lest she be labeled pro-abortion. It should always be called pro-choice. Abortion an evocative word that brings to mind the procedure where a fetus is, as the anti-abortionists  like to say, murdered. This plays into the anti-abortionist's hands. 

She should emphasize the description "pro-choice" and save the word abortion to accuse Trump and Vance for wanting to go back to the days of women trying to terminate their pregnancies with wire hangers and sometimes dying or rendering them unable to have a baby in the future. 

Harris can say that Trump and Vance aren't anti-abortion, they are pro-back alley abortion. 

When possible she should link Turmp to his choice of running mate. The more people are reminded of this cat hating opportunistic poseur who just pissed off Taylor Swith fans and led to being condemned by Jennifier Aniston the better. Trump is a god to his fans who find him charismatic. They should be reminded that Trump chose this unpleasant man to be a heartbeat away from being president by an elderly obese man who has a lousy diet, poor sleep hygiene, and gets no exercise.

If Trump, who now says he wants to debate Harris more than once, thinks she'd be easy prey for him. He looks at her and see a vulnerable little woman who he can stomp into the dust. I'd bet the house that he hasn't read the Book of Samuel in the Old Testament, but he surely knows the story of David and Goliath. 

Kamala is 5' 2" and Trump says he's 6' 3". Goliath was said to be 9' 9". If Trump didn't believe his own super-macho hype he should realize that there's another saying he should heed: the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Indeed, when Goliath fell it had to be ground shaking.

On another matter:

Perhap the nickname Laffin' Kamala wasn't working as Trump intended it to. Now he's trying out Lyn' Kamala Harris. However, he is now spelling Lyn' (L-Y-N-apostrophe) out loud when he calls her this. You can watch him doing this in this short clip from his rally speech the other day:

No doubt he spelled it out to make sure nobody jumps on the fact that she is like a lion, and that in nature it is the female lions that do most of the hunting while the male lions lay around. Well, Trump, I noticed it and made this:

I considered calling her Lioness Kamala but because Trump is using the word lyn' I decided to use this. He's lying and she's a lion.

Amazing! Trump just got some bigots pissed off. By Hal Brown, MSW

 

I had to read the RawStory article shown above three times to figure out what happened.

Trump was showing his supposed support for law enforcement with this Trump Social post:


He wrote:

23-year-old Melvindale Police Officer Mohamed Said, a true American hero, was gunned down by a suspect he was pursuing last Saturday. Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin described Officer Said as a “kind soul who proudly served the residents of Melvindale.” The men and women of law enforcement deserve our respect for the selfless job they do every day serving our communities. Pray for Officer Said, his family, and all law enforcement! 

Needless to say Trump wants to be seen as pro-police unless the police are among those speaking out against him for not stopping the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6th.

This post backfired to some extent because the officer who was slain was a Muslim. It led to bigoted responses from Truth Social members. These are from the RawStory article:

  • "Michigan is mostly Muslims, infiltrated via CAIR by Obama," @AlJahn wrote. "Their main tactic is to eliminate police. That's all you need to know." (I had to look up CAIR, it's the Council on American-Islamic Relations.)
  • @Mfnmkr said, "That's a no go zone. Sharia law runs that place. Wake up sheep it's spreading."
  • "Sounds like Dearborn is infested with Muslims," another user, @Sicaj526, wrote on Trump's post.
  • "Dearborn is a world class s---hole!" wrote @Patriot_Dad_67. "The middle easterners have taken over the town and made it just like home, riddled with crime and killing."
  • @Magadonian wrote, "He looks like a terrorist to me. It's the name."
  • @Marknunya99 said, "Sorry but Mohamad wants all Christians dead. No concern here."
  • Ryan Deakins, @Ryandeakins, said simply, "U lost my vote.
Of course these people will vote for Trump anyway since without George Wallace or David Duke on the ballot they have no other choice.


ADDENDUM:

I so enjoy it when bigots dump dung on Donald.

"The Prosecutor vs. the Perpetrator" and "Former DA Harris vs. the fake tough guy" can frame the Harris campaign. By Hal Brown, MSW


Above: The expressions on the faces of Trump and Vince McMahon couldn't be more fake.

"Harris Says She Knows 'Trump's Type' From Her Years As A Prosecutor was the top story" was the top story on HUFFPOST yesterday (link). 

The front page title "The Prosecutor vs. the Perpetrator"can be part of framing the Harris campaign.

Kamala Harris has already made a major change in how she pressents herself. She has amped up her toughness level bigly, to use Trump's term.

Let's face it, much of politics is about the optics. Harris can remind voters about the things Biden did that benefited them and the country, but she has to talk about what she will do vs. what Trump plans to do.

Harris has to make sure the the Republicans don't cast her as a Biden clone. She has to be wary of spending too much time defending Biden's policies. She must make sure that she is seen as the new face of the Democratic Party. This is what she now is and she must own it!

There are many people who don't even know Harris was a senator. During her brief time there she didn't make headlines. They know her because she was the Attorney General of California. 

Before the cameras she is already focusing on having been a prosecutor. She quickly came up with effective attack lines about being familiar with taking down predators who abused women and that she knows Donald Trump's type and can take down criminals like him.

Biden was always a politician. He earned his law degree from Syracuse University in 1968 and then was elected to the New Castle County Council in 1970 and to the U.S. Senate in 1972. Contrast that with Harris. 

After law school she began working as a  DA  in Alameda County, was recruited to the San Francisco DA's Office and later to the city attorney of San Francisco's office. In 2003, she was elected DA of San Francisco. She was elected attorney general of California in 2010 and re-elected in 2014. Only in 2017 did she get elected as U.S. senator before becoming VP.  She is viewed as a tough former prosecutor. 

She doesn't have to play-act this the way Trump play-acts being tough. Trump has gifted her with some made for TV images like this:


I can see her using clips of him pretending to a superman with the word "delusional" superimposed over the image above.

Thanks to Trump there are numerous photos she can use. There are also some choice videos of Trump playing the pro-wrestling villain.  

For example a Harris ad can start with this:


Then add a "FAKE" stamp...


... and then another:


It would finally prove that Trump can't continue to avoid karma if his fake wrestling tough-guy persona came back to bite him here:


Trump's go-to word to discount everything negative that is reported about him is "fake" so, as befitting his juvenile personality, the saying  "I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you" is appropriate.

Which Trump personality will we get? Is getting the Nobel Peace Prize so important to Trump that he’d risk pissing off Putin?
