If democrats cheated enough to win the election how long would it take after the inauguration for Kamala to kneecap Biden?
Asking for a friend.....
You are assuming he would make it to the inauguration.
Drug companies, which are being forced by me to substantially reduce Drug Prices, are taking $millions in ads saying I want to increase Medicare Primiums. Wrong, just the opposite! These ads show DRUG PRICES ARE GOING DOWN, and they are not happy! False advertising!
Kamala Harris is known, among her family members, for being an opportunistic liar. When she coyly suggested she had “inhaled” in line with her Jamaican family’s ganja-smoking tradition, her father Donald Harris—a Stanford economist—issued this public statement to Jamaica Global pic.twitter.com/W59dUYJfIS— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) August 13, 2020
(CN) — An explosive forest fire in Los Angeles County grew to over 10,000 acres in just a few hours on Wednesday, forcing residents to flee from their homes.
The Lake Fire burning in the Lake Hughes area of the Angeles National Forest was first reported as a brush fire around 3:30 p.m.
Within minutes the fire grew to 100 acres, according to Angeles Forest Fire Chief Robert Garcia. Within another few hours, the blaze grew to several thousand acres.
“The gusty winds, low humidities, and hot temperatures will bring elevated to brief critical fire weather conditions to the mountains and Antelope Valley,” according to the Angeles National Forest service in an afternoon press release.
Garcia described the situation as “pretty explosive fire behavior” at an evening briefing.
The fire is early in the typical fire season and was not aided by the strong Santa Ana Winds that pass through the region. But by Wednesday evening, the winds picked up and spread the fire, causing what appeared to be a fire tornado.
Fire officials expect the fire to grow overnight and hundreds of households are evacuated in the Lake Hughes community in northwest LA County.
Hundreds of structures, including homes, are threatened. There have been no reported injuries but multiple reports have said some homes were burning in Lake Hughes.
Captain Rod Schaffer with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said due to the ongoing Covid-19 protocols, anyone forced to leave their home cannot stay in any temporary shelters usually set up by the Red Cross. The Red Cross said residents will have to stay in their cars overnight if they do not have any nearby relatives or can’t find a hotel.
Firefighters from multiple fire agencies across southern California responded to the Lake Fire, which is 0% contained and remains erratic.
In total, nine helicopters are surveying the fire, six air tankers are in the air, 500 firefighters are on the ground and more are on the way, Garcia said.
The large smoke plume could be seen from multiple areas of LA County, including the Venice Beach neighborhood and Pasadena about 60 miles away.

I've been exchanging messages with friends about what what's happening in our cities: NY, Philadelphia and LA especially. A lot of disturbing things are not making the news. Even Republicans aren't drawing attention to it. Here's a message from a friend about life in NY today:
"Here's my neighborhood, Mike: An elderly man, enjoying dinner w/his wife at an outdoor restaurant, punched in the face. A woman waiting for the subway to come stabbed in the back. An older neighbor pausing to catch his breath told to pay two dollars in protection money or get
"the fuck off that particular street corner. This is just the ten block radius from where I live in the last six days." Other friends from NY talk about shattered business districts, drugstores with locked shelves, and hundreds of homeless people and parolees, including sex
offenders, being moved into hotels on the Upper West Side adjacent to schools and playgrounds, which are filled with needles again like in the 1970s. Friends in Philadelphia report large homeless encampments in the city center and being robbed at gunpoint.
Friends in LA talk about squatters taking over empty homes in professional class neighborhoods whose residents fantasize about emigrating to Canada. Friends in all three cities have seen police officers refuse to get out of their cars while large-scale lawbreaking takes place
in front of them. That’s in addition to the obvious mayhem being perpetrated on a nightly basis in Portland, Seattle and Chicago. Estimates are that up to one million people have already fled New York City — meaning nearly everyone who has the means to leave has left.
Minneapolis is a smoldering ruin that has sustained untold damage to its immigrant neighborhoods. This is not what I am reading. This is what I am hearing from people directly. Make no mistake about it: America is now in the middle of a 70s style urban crisis whose root is a
well-founded fear of violent crime and social collapse in the midst of a pandemic. The destructive spiral that has been unleashed by leftwing play-acting at revolution and pursuit of stupid fantasies of abolishing the police is destroying our greatest cities.
As urban residents vote with their feet, we are being left with empty urban shells with no tax base and no meaningful employment. The fact that the business of Washington DC is the Federal government and the national media is now centered here is blinding our society
to what’s actually happening in other big cities across the country. What’s happening is this: Thirty years of very meaningful social and economic progress in our cities — which has hugely benefited minorities — is being undone by a toxic coalition of professional ideologues
and “organizers,” rich kids in Che t-shirts, well-coiffed Mayors, and a National Democratic Party that pretends that the ongoing destruction of minority owned businesses and the social and economic infrastructure that is a primary engine for raising African American
and immigrant families into the middle class is somehow about “civil rights” or “racial inequality.” It is not. It is about a war on the American middle class being waged from above and below by people whose response to the values and the struggles of average American families
is hostility and contempt — and who imagine that the threat of further violence is a crowbar they can use to get Donald Trump out of the White House. Sacrificing America’s cities on the altar of their political cause may seem bizarre, because that’s where so many of their
voters live — but it’s not. Who else are urban liberals going to vote for? Suburbanites can’t help but see the destruction of the cities as a harbinger of what could be next for them. The question is who can protect them — Donald Trump, or the people who celebrate the CHAZ.
I know how I answer that question.

Nasty Nancy was all for eliminating the Payroll Tax in 2012?
Obama suspended it with an EO as a stimulus measure during the recovery he & Joey never managed to pull off.
Democrats didn't mention Social Security or Medicare being short-changed then!
