"We’ll deal with what we need to deal with... as we move forward, all agreeing that we've got to be smarter as a country in terms of who has access to what."

Said Kamala Harris, quoted in "Harris visits Highland Park after mass shooting at July Fourth parade/Harris went to the Chicago suburb shortly after authorities announced first-degree murder charges against the shooting suspect" (NBC News).

Harris was selected by Biden’s team on purpose. Biden was the safe and dopey pick for Obama. Biden made Obama look great. Biden needed a Black woman that made him look smart.

"We’ll deal with what we need to deal with... as we move forward, all agreeing that we've got to be smarter as a country in terms of who has access to what."

Kamala Harris addresses the Committee to Reconvene the Working Group for Determing Who Gets Access To What and Moving Forward to deal with who gets access to what and being smarter as a country to move forward and deal with it.

Did all the smart democrats have abortions? And the only democrats left, had stupid parents?

gilbar said...

"We've got to take this stuff seriously, as seriously as you are because you have been forced to take this seriously," Harris said to the press and Highland Park residents.

I can have some of what she’s smoking?

wendybar said...

She also blubbered out this winner.....

“We have to take this stuff seriously, as seriously as you are because you have been forced to take this seriously,” she said.

As Don Surber says...."Once again, animatronic Kamala's record skipped. This time it got stuck on the word seriously.

She is about as serious as a Daffy Duck cartoon."

Jefferson's Revenge said...

How can she not have gotten better at this? Does someone actually write this babble for her or does she just wing it?

I mean these as real questions. The most mystifying thing about this administration is the inability to course correct. Every poll and every policy has been a disaster yet everything remains the same. No heads roll. No one improves at their job. It all stays the same.

Are they really so self absorbed that they do not see the incompetence that they demonstrate?

Reading the above statement from Kamala inspired me to do a google search on words of wisdom from Chauncey Gardiner.

Jaq said...

So police showed up at his home once and took a sword from him with which he hS threatened to kill his family, and he still passed a background check...

It seems like there are a lot of things that could be done within the framework of existing laws. Maybe juvinile stuff should never get expunged, or not until the person reaches 27, or something.

tim maguire said...

Black people kill black people every day in Chicago and nobody cares. A white person kills white people and the Veep hops on a plane and even White House gets involved.

Wilbur said...

Inspirational and profound. Right, Inga?

Ms. Harris could get away with that word salad when running for office in California, but on a national stage people actually pay attention to what she says. She comes up lacking, profoundly so.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

I’m calling the unspecified use of the word “access” a gaffe.

Do democrats want to mix up late term abortion with gun violence?

Then again, maybe they do. These days nobody seems to have access to democrat thinking.

Leland said...

Shooter was known to law enforcement, had a history of mental stability including suicide, but still was licensed to purchase firearms in Illinois because such laws are meant to harass law abiding gun owners. The county attorney has called for an assault weapon’s ban despite the fact Highland Park already has a ban on the books.

Beasts of England said...

Inspiring…

chickelit said...

Another balming salvo of words from the wannabe soother in chief.

AlbertAnonymous said...

So the first black VP comes to Chicago to talk about the shooting of a bunch of white people by a white, mentally I’ll kid, and talks about assault weapons bans.

But she didn’t come to Chicago on any given Monday and talk about the dozens of black kids killed in gun violence in that city on any given weekend, with predominantly illegal and unregistered handguns

“We have to do more”. I guess when you never do anything (about anything) that statement will always be true…

Misinforminimalism said...

Where was the Veep after the uncountable weekends of gun violence in Chicago? But a white guy shoots white people and she's on the scene in moments. Straight up racism.

Christopher B said...

“We have to take this stuff seriously, as seriously as you are because you have been forced to take this seriously.”

Also Kamala Harris in Highland Park.

Temujin said...

Yeesh. Nothing says 'salad' like listening to Kamala Harris speak. Clearly a person who has spent her entire life in either a classroom or working in a governmental position. No one else on earth speaks like these people who have seen nothing else. Their lips move, but what comes out is akin to styrofoam peanuts.

I will add in that I don't think she's a very bright person. And I'm feeling good today so note that this is the kinder, gentler version of what I would be inclined to say here.

Wince said...

We’ll deal with what we need to deal with... as we move forward, all agreeing that we've got to be smarter as a country in terms of who has access to what.

Including the Office of US President.

Lurker21 said...

Once you understand that the only statements that can't be disproved are tautologies (statements that literally can't be disproved), Kamala Harris begins to make sense:


We will work together to continue to work together ... to work together ...

When we talk about the children of the community, they are the children of the community ...

The significance of the passage of time, so when you think about it there is great significance to passage of time. There is such great significance to the passage of time ...

We will assist Jamaica in Covid recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery efforts in Jamaica



You cannot logically disprove these statements, therefore they must be true.

Alternatively, you can repeat them to yourself over and over again until you find the profound Zen truth behind them -- the way that the children of the community really are the children of the community, and the way that working together¹, working together², and working together³ truly differ from each other.

The kid’s parents hired a lawyer who just after the shooting was railing on Twitter about the availability of so-called assault weapons.

Young men are in crisis in this country. Opioids, fatherlessness, unfinished education, suicide, criminality….they are leading in all the wrong metrics. And unless you’re a young man who’s black, the culture demonizes you as the locus of empowered privilege. These grandiose acts of violence ought to set off a five alarm fire. But then, it’s been going off since columbine. Honestly I don’t understand why the only voices raising concern about young men come fromThe right— heather McDonald, Christina hoff summers, Leonard sax, Jordan Peterson.

Howard said...

The solution is easy just hire Google Facebook Instagram Twitter and all the other tech media Giants who are spying us on our phones and create an algorithm to spot future crime then take away the guns of those people. 90% of you trumpers are disarmed I think we can rest assured that the horror of mass shootings will be over.

mikee said...

The whole point of this country is that the government doesn't decide who gets to do what.

Buckwheathikes said...

This kid, with the face tattoos, and a history of having weapons taken from him by police, was given ... by Democrats ... a license to legally purchase firearms. In Chicago. Which has been run exclusively by Democrats for the past 100 years. Where they have the country's strictest firearm laws.

Kamala Harris being sent there to look like an idiot is a classic Biden move.

“The most mystifying thing about this administration is the inability to course correct. Every poll and every policy has been a disaster yet everything remains the same.”

The only conclusion is that they like their policies and they don’t care if we like ‘em. After all, the policies are effective: people are driving less and soon will be eating less. Go Brandon.

mccullough said...

Gun rights activists can rest easy since Kamala is on the job.

Joe Smith said...

The first mainstream media figure (preferably on the left) who makes the case that Harris is just plain dumb should win a Pulitzer.

It doesn't seem (at this point) that it would be a terribly difficult case to make...

Lurker21 said...

OK, but would Tim Kaine really have been much more articulate? For all we know, the guy lacked the ability even to speak.

pacwest said...

Just another data point showing the country is being run by the same cabal that was behind the scenes of the Obama pestilence.

The President is a vegetable and the Vice-President is a ditzy whore.

Why SHOULD they care? It's Not like We have any say.. We DON'T live in a place where your vote matters

This administration is single-handedly giving us shining examples of the dangers of "diversity hiring".

Skeptical Voter said...

A country--and a party--that granted Kamala Harris access to the office of Vice President just isn't all that smart. A news flash for the Kackler.

Yancey Ward said...

"We will work together to do the things we need to do to work together."

You tell me- is she ad-libbing all the time, or is this the very best her staff can write for her that she can recite at will?

Yancey Ward said...

There is a clip of a much younger Harris as a piece of ass for Arsenio Hall, I think it is. I get it now- she was, at that time, at the top of her talent stack.

Paul said...

So what we have is Nero and Poppaea Sabina (Nero's 2nd wife.)

A senile crook and a nit wit for President and VP.

Yea 'Big Daddy' and 'Dumb Bunny'.

You guys hated Trump so much you got these two in...

Reap what you sow.

Leland said...

Perhaps the difficulty Democrats have in defining women is because they no longer want to be known as having made Kamala Harris the first woman Vice President. With roughly 50% of the population to choose from, they could have done much better.

Static Ping said...

Empty suit in a regime of empty suits, led by a mad king.

I do understand that background checks will fail from time to time. There are people who seem perfectly normal with no red flags that do horrible things. No system is foolproof. But, seriously, if this person did not immediately trigger alarms in the system, you have to wonder what's the point of the system. Are they just there to cash paychecks? Because persons aspiring to easy, well paying jobs that require no work is a sign of massive corruption and a nation in decline.

Michael K said...

90% of you trumpers are disarmed I think we can rest assured that the horror of mass shootings will be over.

Howard is dreaming again. Chicago is anything but MAGA country. New York had its own massacre last weekend. What do they have in common? Democrats. Gradually, the country is separating into red and blue zones. If we can keep the blue crazies in places like Mass. and out of Florida and Arizona, we'll soon be OK.

Fred Drinkwater said...

Reflecting on Newsome and Harris, and their speaking styles, I've concluded that Willie Brown caused the introduction of some novel persistent psychtropics into the Sacramento lunch menus.

It's the only reasonable explanation.

iowan2 said...

I'd call Harris an empty vessel. But that means it could be filled. She has no capacity to take in and hold anything.

This is the AG for the most populous state in the Union. She is unable to string together some legal speak and constitutionally sounding phrases to at least fill the silence?. I spend some time with intellectual challenged adults. They can communicate about topics they know. Attaining the Bar was supposed to be a measure of intelligence. Harris has exposed that lie. Seem so to me it is no more complicated than learning a second language.

Yeah, it seems her staff is as dumb as she is unless that was ad libbing. Obama was bad at ad libbing but not this bad.

Yes.

murder: elective abortion (i.e. other than an equal right to self-defense) under a cloak of privacy, in darkness, a human rite performed at the twilight fringe. Six weeks to viability, where baby meets granny, in state, if not in process. Neither planned parenthood nor planned parent/hood are good or exclusive choices.

‘Waukesha Strong’ is the theme of this year's 4th of July parade
The victims from the tragedy of last year's Christmas parade were honored in this year's 4th of July parade.

Once Again, From The Breech
Illinois already has a "Red Flag" law, this question was never asked. How it is that Highland Park, which banned these weapons over a decade ago, was the scene of this assault given said "protection"

Minority report. Negotiable commodities for-profit and leverage. Kamala "take a knee" Harris is out of touch.

PM said...

She really is the reincarnation of Irwin Corey, but witless.

Jamie said...

This is OT, but I have been wondering about it without actually doing the research to try to confirm it: does it look to anyone else as if the shooter may suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome? His face seems to me to have some of the markers - very wide-set eyes with maybe some epicanthic fold, flat nose bridge, thin upper lip. The mustache makes it hard to determine philtrum depth. I don't really understand how to judge microcephaly out of the context of other people's heads.

It doesn't matter. He has a history of instability and mental illness, whatever the cause. But it was the first thing I thought when I saw the image that looks like a mugshot.

“The most mystifying thing about this administration is the inability to course correct. Every poll and every policy has been a disaster yet everything remains the same.”

The secret is that the people responsible for those failed policies that create those horrible consequences that generate those terrible polls will never be held accountable for the damage they are doing. History will dump it all on Grampa Simpson. They get to play with policy like some 3 year old in a playpen with toys, knowing that when the administration crashes and burns they will be able to get jobs at Washington think tanks and cable news networks. That's the problem with having a chief executive as out of it as Biden.
