BREAK: Kamala Harris has dropped out of Democrat 2020 race. !!
Harris had 20,000 people at her campaign launch and high hopes. But got pincered between clearer Left / Centrist positions, flip-floped on healthcare and was bugged by electability qus.
High point for Harris campaign was her direct challenging of Biden over race in 1st debate, endlessly repeated and triggering a poll surge which briefly had her joint 2nd nationwide. But has since slid to low single digits.

Clear blue sky in Washington today for the impeachment vote. Moon still just about visible.
Shots from inside Congress. House begins to debate the two articles of impeachment in 30 mins. Vote expected at 3pm at the earliest (8pm UK)
It’s one day short of exactly 21 years since this happened - Bill Clinton’s impeachment. A strange echo with the man whose wife Trump beat to win power in the first place.

(That too occurred when the president’s political opponents held the House)

I urge everyone to read this absolutely furious letter Trump’s just sent Pelosi. Excoriating. Hyperbolic. Self-justificatory. It will stand as one of the most remarkable documents in this historic impeachment push.

P1 ...
P2

“You view democracy as your enemy!”
P3

“Your party simply cannot compete with our record...”

In one of those strange symmetries, the day Boris’s fate is decided is when Trump’s impeachment will be formally backed by the House Judiciary Committee.
They also met for one of the first times as world leaders in New York on the same day the impeachment inquiry was launched and the Supreme Court ruled prorogation was unlawful.
All happening here, the Longworth House Office Building, on a sub-zero day in the capital.

KAMALA MEDIA ROUND UP [THREAD]

NYT puts Kamala #1:

nytimes.com/2019/11/21/us/…

#KHive #ForThePeople #Kamala
Politico: Harris won the debate when she fired off these seventeen words: “A criminal is living in the White House,” “Justice is on the ballot,” and “Show up for me." politico.com/news/magazine/…
Washington Post: "This was the Harris of the June debate in which she dominated and mounted forceful attacks...she also spoke authoritatively on her child care & leave policy...and the extra burden on women of color who don’t get paid equally to men." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…

Black Women Views- UNBOSSED & UNBOUGHT
@blackwomenviews
Thread: Setting the record straight on the narratives around #Kamala's anti-truancy initiatives. #KamalaHarris did NOT lock parents up. Also, truancy has been a prosecutable offense in California since **1977**. This thread will focus on the HuffPo editorial on Kamala's record.
It is FALSE that Cheree People's case is a result of Kamala's efforts. GRIP was an initiative in OC that had been in place since 2008 (3 yrs b4 the new truancy bill) and arrested 11 parents in 5 yrs (08-13). The arrests were ALREADY happening for years under the old truancy law.
A trend with anti-Kamala hit pieces is to cherrypick horror stories that don't involve Kamala yet blame her. The GRIP program that swept up People's had 10,000 people involved to provide resources long b4 making arrests. Kamala had zero connection to it.

1) Kamala is the privileged daughter of foreign post grad students. She spent most of her formative years growing up in Canada. She's not an Black American descendant of slaves. She's a Brahmin Indian (highest caste) descendant with paternal lineage of plantation slave owners.
2) She wasn't a defense attorney. She was a prosecutor. She laughed about smoking weed listening to Tupac Shakur but put almost 2,000 people in jail for doing pretty much the same thing. She levied fines on single mothers whose kids were truant from school.
3) She denied parole to inmates so she could make them work for nothing while the State of California made a dollar a day off their labor.

Kamala Harris has literally nothing in common with the black American community. Her name, Kamala, means "lotus flower" in her maternal

Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris promotes conspiracy theories, claims without evidence: "Let's say this loud and clear -- without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia, Andrew Gillum is the governor of Florida."
There is 0 evidence to back up what Kamala Harris is saying

Kamala Harris Has Switched to 'Rent Is Too Damn High Party'
Don't laugh! That's a real political party in New York.
Introducing Jimmy McMillan, the patron saint of Rent Is Too Damn High (RITDH) Party.
Now don't you go about thinking Jimmy McMillan is a one issue guy. No, sir! He has thought through a lot of things. Here, take a listen.

🌎Donald Trump—🌪️Roger Stone—🔥Paul Manafort—🌬️Roy Cohn
There are so many connections between these four gentlemen, but the common thread between them all appears to be Roger Stone.

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/…
🔪But Stone’s rules: “Attack, attack, attack—never defend” and “Admit nothing, deny everything, launch counterattack.” This “advice” came via renowned attorney Roy Cohn, who represented Donald Trump late in Cohn’s life.

vanityfair.com/news/2017/06/d…
🌬️Cohn’s "original" 3-dimensional strategy via @vanityfair article: 1. Never settle, never surrender. 2. Counter-attack, counter-sue immediately. 3. No matter what happens, no matter how deeply into the muck you get, claim victory and never admit defeat.”

🍊Sound familiar?
