Kamala Harris will tell you which ‘great emotion’ Joe Biden has shown about footage from Afghanistan just as soon as she checks her notes [video]

It’s so refreshing to have a female vice president. You know, someone who really and truly cares.

Someone like Kamala Harris:

We’d like to know what Kamala Harris thinks constitutes “great emotion,” because based on that performance, we can’t honestly believe that she knows what emotions even are. Maybe that’s why she had to check her notes.

She was likely just consulting this:

Ever seen someone’s head sawed off with a dull blade Kamala?, and you were to blame 100%.

Enjoy that image C..t.

[proud American in Canada]

Just another example of the complete stupidity over at the Biden administration.

She had to look up “sadness?” Ridiculous.

Any normal American would do a better job than she has. At least we would’t cackle inappropriately.

They should come up with an Emmy, like Cuomo got, for “Best Cackling by a Politician.” She and Hillary are back in the race... ;)

Her father i= a Bigtime Marxist. What could possibly go wrong?

“Harris’s research and publications have focused on exploring the process of capital accumulation and its implications for economic growth with the aim of proving that economic inequality and uneven development are inevitable properties of economic growth in a market economy.[18] From this standpoint, he has sought to assess the traditions of economic study inherited from the classical economists and Karl Marx as well as modern contributions while engaging in related economic studies of various countries’ experience.”

Horrible woman.

[cuz1961]

These people are trying to kill us....

...with embarrassment.

[CatOwner]

Horrible woman.

Horrible human being. Most liberals are. For a group who believs in Utopia for all, they are sure hell-bent on making life miserable for as many people as they do.

[No.6]

>believs in Utopia for all

They don’t write or say that. Our side says they believe that.

They say and write that they want power to force us to think and do as they demand, that they want us dead, that they want our rights quashed, our faith destroyed, self-defense impossible and our families mutilated.

Every time they get a chance, they do exactly what they said they’d do. Even so, conservatives describe them as utopians.

Well, it was better than laughing ...I guess.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Did Biden display his "Great Emotion" by soiling his Depends?

[kiryandil]

Lizard people don’t have emotions.

[Daffynition]

[FlyingEagle]

I saw him - he showed the emotions of bewilderment and shamelessness.

[rlmorel]

A good point, that they say and write what they will do, and they keep their word in the end.

But I believe it is important to keep in mind that thinking of Leftists as being in any way monolithic simplifies them too much. (I also admit that referring the mindless drones (the "Good-Hearted Liberals") that actually did vote for the likes of Joe Biden are not as benign as I make them sound. But it just an attempt to categorize them for the purpose of analysis.)

I have always divided them into three types (not equal in volumes) as described below. The Left has people in both the first group (the "Good-Hearted Liberals") and the second group (the "Leftist Foot Soldiers") who DO believe that a state of "Utopia" both exists and is achievable. The last group (the "Evil Ones") don't believe in Utopia beyond their own, and understand it at some level as a tool to be used to attain and retain power.

Anyway, here are my three groupings of Leftists.

1. Good-Hearted Liberals.
   • They don’t think about issues much further than the emotional part. Not all of them are bad or crazy, many are just ill-informed and/or slaves to their emotions. They trust the news. You can often talk to these people, they may live next door to you or are in the next office over. They may believe in diversity, homosexuality, and things like Black Lives Matter, and they may go to churches that support those same things. They buy into these things even though they may otherwise be intelligent, because they largely accept what has been spoon fed to them. Some may change their minds and stop being a Leftist due to current outrageous leftist handling of an issue, or they may have life circumstances that make them change. Sometimes it is simply going out into the working world and having to buy your own food and toilet paper. I have some casual acquaintances and people I work with, I have been able to talk politics with them on occasion, and they know where I am coming from even if they don’t agree. These people are often incidental useful idiots.
   
   
   
2. Leftist Foot Soldiers.
   • These are the true believers, the foot soldiers of Marxism, the Marxist Cannon Fodder. These are people you cannot talk to. I just avoid them. I don’t bother to engage them or debate issues with them. These are almost always the people on the other side of the protest barrier. I have had some exposure since 2004 with these people from demonstrating with the DC Chapter outside Walter Reed for all those years, and I despise and detest them. These are the Code Pink, Move On, LGBTQRXZ, SJW, Black Lives Matter people. These people actually believe that Marxist crap. They are the people with fevered faces, spittle on their lips, chanting the stupid slogans “Hey, hey, ho, ho, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah” as if they are too stupid to make up any new chants from the Sixties. Their cars have 12 bumper stickers on the back, and sometimes the sides and the front, with “Question Authority”, “Impeach Trump” “Diversity” (with all the symbols) No Blood For Oil, and so on. These people suck. I have never met a single one in my entire life I thought had more value than a warm cup of spit, and even then. I avoid them. These are the REAL useful idiots.
   
   
   
3. The Evil Ones
   • These people are enemies. They know what they are all about, and they know you know it (if you are one of us) They aren’t about equality or any other fashionable SJW issue, but play along as if they care about those things...which they don’t. They are all about being grifters of other people’s money, having their hands directly on the levers of power, and exercising it with prejudice. These people are the ones who DO make it to the privileged power set when they take power, and they have no qualms about putting those people in any other category but them up against a wall...particularly the 2nd group listed above, who could become dangerous to them.

That's from today's press conference.

Here is a transcript of Harris' answers to the questions from today's press conference with Singapore Prime Minister Lee.

She speaks in a word salad gobbledygook of nonsense.

Dawn Tan, CNA Media Corp.

Good afternoon Prime Minister and Madame Vice President... Madame Vice President, what's your message to America's partners about US commitments to its long-time allies in light of this issue [Afghanistan]?

Harris

The reason I am here is because the United States is a global leader, and we take that role seriously, understanding that we have many interests and priorities around the world.

I am here in Singapore as a reaffirmation to our commitment to our membership in the Indo-Pacific region, our partnership - longstanding partnership - with southeast Asia, and a long-standing relationship with Singapore as it relates to our issues, and our mutual issues, on security and economic strength and development, and now increasingly, global health.

So this visit, combined with the agreements we have made, and the work we continue to do as a nation to reinforce our commitment to these relationships, speak, I believe, volumes in terms of the integrity of the relationships the United States has around the world on many issues, based on our shared priorities and our shared vision of not only the challenges we face, but the future and the potential based on the opportunities that this moment also presents.

Nandita Bose, Reuters

Madame Vice President, we're in a situation where Afghans have been trampled, died as they rushed to free a nation where Americans fought for 20 years. American citizens are still stuck without safe passage. I understand that you agree with the decision to withdraw. But in your assessment, what went wrong with the withdrawal?

Harris

So, I... I... I understand and appreciate why you asked the question, and, um, I think there's going to be plenty of time to analyze what has happened and what has taken place in the context of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

But right now we are singularly focused on evacuating American citizens, Afghans who worked with us, and Afghans who are vulnerable, including women and children, and that is our singular focus at this time, understanding that we have a priority in making sure that the people that, in particular, helped America achieve its responsibilities in terms of our priorities and the reason we went to Afghanistan in the first place, that we have a responsibility and we feel a deep commitment to making sure that folks who helped us are safe.

But there's no question that what many of us have seen on television, as the President has said, I mean, the President has, I think, shown great emotion in expressing, um, sadness about some of the images we have seen. But we cannot be, um, in any way, um, d-d-d-distracted in any way from what must be our primary mission right now, which is evacuating people from that region who deserve to be evacuated.

Zolan Kanno-Youngs, New York Times

Madame Vice President, a quick follow-up to my colleague's question... I understand what the focus is now, but given that the reality is that there are thousands of allies, as well as American citizens, that are still stuck in limbo, are you satisfied with the operational steps that were taken in this decision? Not the decision itself, but the operation steps that were taken? Does it meet your standard?

Secondly, China is already trying to use the situation in Afghanistan to drive a wedge between the US and its allies, to [unintelligible] those in the South China Sea region that the US cannot be counted on as a reliable long-term partner. Are you at all concerned the damage has already been done to US credibility worldwide, and how does the US, and specifically this administration, repair it?

Harris

So, I'll repeat what I said, um, which is that there's no question there will be, and should be, a robust analysis of what has happened. But right now, there's no question that our focus has to be on evacuating American citizens, Afghans who worked with us, and vulnerable Afghans including women and children. That has to be our primary focus and where we are placing our attention, on the issue of Afghanistan.

And on that end, we have seen a successful drawdown of the embassy, and thankfully, without any American casualties. We have seen thousands of people who have been... who have been evacuated from the airport in Afghanistan, where the United States military is doing very hard and difficult work. We were able to contain that airport so that we could successfully evacuate the people who have been evacuated so far.

So as the President has said, listen, this is a difficult mission. There's no question about that. But our focus has to be on the task at hand as it relates to America's relationships around the world.

I am standing here in Singapore because of our commitment to a long-standing relationship, which is an enduring relationship, with the Indo-Pacific region, with southeast Asian countries, and in particular with Singapore.

The agreements that the Prime Minister and I have reached today are evidence of that enduring relationship and commitment, and founded on the long-standing priorities that relate to our security interests and our economic issues, but also a commitment going forward as it relates to the challenges that we face in the 21st century and the challenges we are going to face moving forward, such as in the inevitable, which is future pandemics, and what we will do together to research and to do what we can to stop those pandemics from wreaking the kind of havoc on the world that COVID has.

A commitment moving forward to work together on the issue of cybersecurity, to work together on the issue of the climate crisis. All of these agreements are evidence of America's strength and enduring relationships around the globe, and in particular, our knowledge that as we move forward and think about where we go in the 21st century, southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific will, in large part, I believe, dictate the future of our world and America's commitment then and partnerships with the country in this region and the countries in this region, are about where we are going and also founded on the relationships we have had in this region.

Lynette Lai, Singapore Press Holdings

I'd like to bring the bring the discussion back to the region and ask PM Lee and Vice President Harris how the US can work with Singapore and other partners to contribute to the broader stability and security of the region, and also to strengthen people to people ties?

Harris

The Prime Minister has said it well, which is that this is a relationship that is based on a shared vision, both in terms of the challenges we face but also the opportunities that we face to work together to meet those challenges. And it relates, again, to the historic relationship that we have on the issue of security and economic, um, strength.

But it is, it is also about what we can do to work together to discover th-th-the medicines that might attack and deal with the next virus. It is about th-th-the future in terms of our mutual commitment, curiosity and interest in wh-what we can do in space. It is about what we, in terms of shared values, for the need for universal norms on the issue of cybersecurity. It is about the interests that we have in being a global partner on the issue of-of-of vaccines, for example, and our shared commitment understanding that when we have the resources, that we will share them with the world.

These are the things that Singapore and the United States have in common, and with that common purpose, and with a similar approach to our responsibility to our own citizens, and our responsibility as a global citizen, I believe that with this commitment, as evidenced again by this visit today, we will continue to partner in a way that benefits not only Singaporeans and Americans, but the rest of the world.
