That’s the thing about Democrat politicians, they lie through their teeth because they believe Progressive voters are stupid. And they may be right, because it’s “Progressive” voters that keep buying the lies and facades year in and year out. Over and over and over again. The lies and subsequent betrayals of Bill and Hillary Clinton. John Edwards. Barack Obama. Al Sharpton….. There’s no end to it. Now Kamala Harris wants to be the latest pretender to say “hey! look at me! I’m cool”! “I believe in justice”!
Lying sack of shit. You believe in nothing.
As a District Attorney and California’s Attorney General, Harris opposed efforts to legalize Marijuana though miraculously she is now all about it (since the decades old movement has exploded and become a major political issue). Much like Clinton and Obama played us all for fools, and we trusted them, Harris seems to be certain that we’ve forgotten these deceptions and will once again trust a proven liar. And some, if not most of those who fancy themselves “Progressive” will likely allow themselves to be treated like dog shit once again. But not me.
In her interview recently on The Breakfast Club, Harris claimed to have smoked weed in college (“I did inhale,” she said, laughing,”). Harris also claimed that she listened to Snoop Dogg and Tupac while getting high. Unfortunately for Harris her calendar is a tad fuckered up. Harris graduated from Howard University in 1986 and law school in 1989. Snoop Dogg didn’t get started until 1992 and Tupac in ’91 when he did Digital Underground’s ‘Same Song’. 2Pacalypse Now came out in ’92.
Sorry, Kamala, but the math here is simple and it proclaims you a liar.
Now to be sure, I don’t give a flying fuck what Harris listens to or when she listens to it. I just hate two-faced, lying politicians. Where Kamala Harris is concerned the question is simple…. Can she be trusted to promote meaningful corrections reform and clear the way for freeing Marijuana from decades of fear and ignorance? The answer is clearly NO.
Bill Clinton is the one that put record numbers of us in prison for it. When asked about legalizing Marijuana, post election, Barack Obama laughed at us. When presented with same as a Drug Prosecutor in Cali Harris also laughed. Well, I got tired of broken promises, outright lies, and fake-ass politicians a few years ago and I’m glad I did. Though I may have overcome the Democrat’s “Progressive” deception machine, most Democrats and “Progressives” sadly have not. When Democrats suffer political losses in future election cycles hopefully they will finally remember (or stop denying) the deceptions of the past and finally clean the party up.
While Harris was the San Francisco District Attorney, the overall felony conviction rate rose from 52% in 2003 to 67% in 2006, the highest in a decade; there was an 85% conviction rate for homicides, and convictions of drug dealers increased from 56% in 2003 to 74% in 2006. While these statistics represent only trial convictions, Harris also closed many cases via plea bargains. When she took office, she took a special interest in clearing part of the murder caseload from the previous administration. Harris stated that the records from that administration were less than optimal, and worked to get convictions on what she could. Out of the 73 homicide cases backlogged, 32 cases took deals for lesser charges such as manslaughter or took pleas to other crimes such as assault or burglary while the murder charges were dismissed.[

Officers within the SFPD credited Harris with tightening loopholes in bail and drug programs that defendants had exploited in the past. They also accused her of being too deliberate in her prosecution of murder suspects. Additionally, in 2009, San Francisco prosecutors won a lower percentage of their felony jury trials than their counterparts at district attorneys’ offices covering the 10 largest cities in California, according to data on case outcomes compiled by officials at the San Francisco Superior Court as well as by other county courts and prosecutors. (Officials in Sacramento, the sixth-largest city in California, did not provide data.) Harris’s at-trial felony conviction rate that year was 76%, down 12 points from the previous year. The then-most recent recorded statewide average was 83%, according to statistics from the California Judicial Council. In a small sample, a report computed that the conviction rate for felony trials in San Francisco County in the first three months of 2010 was 53%. San Francisco has historically had one of the lowest conviction rates in the state; the county is known for a defendant-friendly jury pool.[
In 2012, Superior Court Judge Anne-Christine Massullo ruled that San Francisco District Attorney Harris’s office violated defendants’ rights by hiding damaging information about a police crime lab technician, and was indifferent to demands that it account for its failings.
So we see that Kamala Harris is highly unlikely to genuinely support corrections reform since she willingly threw the US Constitution in the trash trying to get more people locked up. Sad. Even sadder is the fact that Democrats refuse to take the blinders off and see her for the ruse she is. Saddest of all? Those who once held the moral and intellectual high-ground in politics now make Progressives look like fools and Republicans look like the champions of freedom.
