Kamala Harris Wants to Pack the Court, End the Electoral College, and Open Up the Senate to Save Democracy Democrat Politicians
She's losing the Crazy Race to AOC, and needs to change that.
Last week, she began demanding the DNC release its suppressed "autopsy" of her 2024 blowout loss. I assume she wants to be released because she knows it was a whitewash which excused her for any responsibility for the loss and blamed all on Muh Racism and Muh Misogyny. Though apparently the reason it was suppressed is that it blames... ... Joe Biden, who the Democrats have of course decided to blame all their woes on, now that he's gone.
A new poll shows the top choices for the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries in 2028. The May 12 poll, released by Atlas Intel, found U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., leading among Democrats, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the top choice for a majority of Republicans. The national poll showed 26% of Democrats would vote for Ocasio-Cortez for president in two years, with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 22.4% and California Gov. Gavin Newsom at 21.2%. Former Vice President Kamala Harris came in fourth place at 12.9%.
Coconut Kamala grabbed clicks by proposing a slate of anticonstitutional measures to rig elections even harder for Democrats:
To make matters worse, the DNC is facing continued calls to release its internal autopsy of the party's sweeping setbacks in the 2024 election, when Democrats lost the presidency and Senate majority and fell short in winning back control of the House. Among those calling on the DNC to make public their report on what went wrong for the Democrats in 2024 is former Vice President Kamala Harris, the party's presidential nominee two years ago. Harris, who is mulling making another White House bid in 2028, recently told donors she believes the DNC should make the autopsy public. The news was first reported by NBC News and confirmed by Fox News Digital. A source with knowledge said that Harris had not discussed the autopsy with DNC Chair Ken Martin, and that the former vice president did not know in advance about Martin's decision in December to keep the 2024 election postmortem under wraps. Martin ordered the report soon after he was elected DNC chair early last year. ... There was controversy surrounding the report as it was being compiled, after reports last summer said the autopsy would skip analyzing whether then-President Joe Biden should have run for re-election in 2024 and would pass on judging key decisions made by Harris and her team, after she replaced Biden as the party's nominee with just over three months to go until the 2024 election.
... "They are spiking an autopsy of the election that gave us Trump 2.0. If party leaders won't take the steps required to rebuild ourselves into a winning coalition, we will take it into our own hands," former DNC Vice Chair David Hogg warned in a social media post at the time. ... A person familiar with the DNC's strategy told Fox News Digital because of all the attention on the autopsy, "they are going to be forced to release something."

@PatAdams96 10h Kamala Harris is now calling for Democrats to hold a "No Bad Idea Brainstorm" where they discuss: - Abolishing the Electoral College
- Packing the Supreme Court
- Making Puerto Rico and D.C. states "We've got to neutralize these red states from cheating!"
Kamala wants to brainstorm with Democrats to pack the supreme court, make DC and Puerto Rico a state, and abolish the Electoral College.

"If SCOTUS is going to be political, then it should be elected."
That would require a Constitutional Amendment. Which would give the Dems the opportunity to screw it up or subvert it.
Changing the size of the Court (or the number of Representatives) only requires a Congressional vote and Presidential signature.

The main thing I would like to see, to reorganize the system of government, is to make all campaign finance limited to within district.
Pols have to be in their state to speak to donors, and they have to only raise money from residents of their district. That would fix a lot.
I now go make crepe. (recipe says to mix ingredients, and then rest for an hour. I don't think I will exert myself too much mixing, but I will be back shortly to rest anwyay.)

Random unimportant thought from the previous thread:
Jerry-built: Refers to something that was poorly or cheaply constructed from the very beginning.
What is the derivation of that? Being... uh... 29, my only familiarity with "Jerry" is from TV and movies where it was a semi-slur for "German." But whatever anybody thinks of Germans, nobody associates them with poor engineering and construction.

They aren't stupid, they are corrupt and the center of that corruption is the US Senate and the GOP caucus there. House GOP caucus too in a lesser degree. Far too many GOP officeholders are a) stealth Democrats, b) out to get generational wealth out of their offices, c) loathe the very people that elect them. These are the Country Club Republicans of yore, now called RINOs.
In fact, the ones that are a) actually conservative, b) honest and not trying to grab wealth for themselves, c) actually like their constituents, are the RINOs. They don't represent the big donors which is the ultimate problem with the GOP.
Democrats are crazed evil criminals.
So we, the average voter with intelligence and morals are repeatedly stuck voting between corrupticans and Demoncrats.
Is there any wonder that when Trump swept down the escalator, he created his own massive constituency in the GOP from the disaffected base voters.

I think this idea has merit, but as of right now we still can't stop foreigners from giving substantial funds to Democrats and that is already illegal...
Yes. It’s a very good idea, but the enforcement mechanism has to be worked out first on existing laws, or it will mean massive funding imbalances at the local level favoring Democrats.

In important news (Little League Baseball):
We faced number one team and lost by 5 but scored 5 earned runs against them, which is better offense than the number two team.
Little's pitching was off due to a few reasons*, he struck out in the first inning, dived to dodge a high inside pitch in his second at bat, then subsequently crushed an RBI double for some "payback." The guys kept their heads up and played hard, if not messy, which is all you can ask for. In the end, it's a 1 run game if we clean up our fielding and errors.
* He's got a bit of a cold, probably did too many pushups, so his muscles were fatigued, and it was really cold, the combo of which resulted in his pitches running uncharacteristically high in the zone and slow.

Identity Politics is essentially a dead letter.
Democrats need a "message" because Trump is controlling way too much narrative. And Democrats have NOTHING to sell.
This is their way believe it or not of deploying a message *and* projecting strength. Otherwise they have no identity at all other than being weak and ineffective. Not to mention a bunch of annoying complainers and hecklers.
Also I suspect they have to keep their mental patients engaged and this is their way of keeping them riled.

I just read a terrible story out of Britain....
English guy out for a night with his mates has a few beers and gets into a conflict with a Punjabi.
Punjabi guy stabs him 4 times and the police get called.
The police arrest the English guy for racially abusing the Punjabi and bleeds out while the police are figuring out what to do.
The Punjabi was Sihk and had used his ceremonial knife. You aren't allowed to carry a large knife in Britain (I assume most Sihks nominally carry unsharpened knives to meet their religious obligations).
Out of the 4 knife wounds one was to the face - so there is no way the cops didn't notice it, and two were to the back of the legs so there is no way for the Punjabi to argue it was self defense.

It always amazes that people think this is some new idea, when all of this was argued out at great length during the 1787 Constitutional Convention.

The small population members said “no way, we’re not joining any union if this is the deal, and there’s 9 of us and only 4 of you.”
Why don’t we allow direct election of the President? Because now, as then, this Union breaks up and is over if any group tries it.

It's not.
Any state that assigns its electors out of alignment with their voters is in violation of the constitution. They gave their voters a choice, and then they deny the voters their choice.
It's not even not giving the people a vote and having electors chosen by the state legislature (SC did this until after the Civil War).
The NPV compact is facially unconstitutional.

I just read a terrible story out of Britain....
English guy out for a night with his mates has a few beers and gets into a conflict with a Punjabi.
Punjabi guy stabs him 4 times and the police get called.
The police arrest the English guy for racially abusing the Punjabi and bleeds out while the police are figuring out what to do.

New SCOTUS rules that Electoral College is unconstitutional because reasons (Jackson writing majority opinion).
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at May 15, 2026 12:44 PM (xBVv0)
The ridiculousness of finding the Constitution to be unconstitutional aside, the process would then be to amend the Constitution so that it is no longer unconstitutional.
Or an Article 5 convention, which would be political chaos on a level that we have never seen in America.

I don't believe this is accurate.
States can apportion their electors however they want. If they all agree to deliver their electors to the winner of the popular vote, that's still in keeping with the constitution.
Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung
Nope. All compacts between states, including the Popular Vote scheme require approval of Congress. It is in the Constitution. So state A cannot make a binding agreement with state B over electoral votes without Congress approving it.
Same as making DC a state. It requires a constitutional amendment and the Dems tried that in the 1970's at the peak of their power, they failed to get the number of states to ratify.
Article I, Section 10, Clause 3:
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded,. . .

If Dick Gebhart couldn't end up with the Democrat presidential nomination, then I doubt AOC will either. No one ever wants a House member for their presidential nominee, even if she's the heir to Bernie.
I'm old enough to remember when Bernie received a fortification of "muh precious democracy" from the Dems. It will happen to her, too.

If don't think they will nominate a woman but if any woman has a chance nationally it's Obrainio Vortex. She has the correct attitude for a woman who can win a national election, and clever handlers.
Problem is she is brutally brutally bad off script so they would just run the Obama Biden Playbook and keep her hidden except to throw bombs.
But I would still expect it to not be a woman. If it is and we are talking a legitimate GE and not a phony one, then she's the one to back.

Any state that assigns its electors out of alignment with their voters is in violation of the constitution. They gave their voters a choice, and then they deny the voters their choice.
The NPV is one of the most likely vectors for a real civil war.
Imagine the following...the state legislators of enough states to get to 270 EVs agree.
In the '28 or a future election the R candidate wants 270+ EVs but loses the popular vote based on fraud from CA.
Now VA, PA, or whatever states joined the NPV but won by the Republican have their state government send a slate of electors for the Democrat.
The current R congress rejects those Dem electors and acknowledges an alternate slate of R electors.
Both the R and D candidate declare victory. Then we get a 5-4 decision one way or other from the SC and the losing side decides to not back down...

If the Dems had murdered Trump in Butler I'd rather him then Haley (which is I assume what Biden was gunning for)

>>>Nope. All compacts between states, including the Popular Vote scheme require approval of Congress. It is in the Constitution. So state A cannot make a binding agreement with state B over electoral votes without Congress approving it.
Same as making DC a state. It requires a constitutional amendment and the Dems tried that in the 1970's at the peak of their power, they failed to get the number of states to ratify.
Article I, Section 10, Clause 3:
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded,. . .

Looks like Kamala has gotten a mini facelift and her eyebrows have not relaxed, plus her nose still looks swollen. That, plus whatever lighting she is using is garbage, her makeup isn’t done as well as normal, and the angle of the camera is very weird. All together this video is not her best. I know we have fought about this before, but she is an attractive woman. She is 61. She is just annoying.

It is the best one we've tried. IFF you have a moral and religious people who are adequately, properly educated.

I'd like to see the lefties reason through this argument:
If we abolish the Electoral College, there is no incentive for red states to not report 100% of their votes for the Republican.
(Because blue states a) refuse to limit cheating and b) reported up to 110%+ participation in some precincts in 2020.)
See TX. vs. PA for why the Supreme Court says that's legal for states to do.
Population of states that voted for Trump: 186.4 million
Population of states that voted for Harris: 150.9 million

Dems packing SCOTUS would mean civil war. It would be unavoidable. Chief Justice Affirmative Action Jackson and her four new DEI Monsters (with Sotomayer and Kagan in tow) would rewrite the Constitution and destroy the country. First Amendment? Doesn't protect hate speech. What's hate speech? Anything from the right. Second Amendment? Says "militia." Not in a militia? No guns allowed. You say you're in a militia? No, you're not. Next. Cheat by mail? Nationalized. Voter ID? Illegal. Racial gerrymanders? Required, up the ying yang. DC? 51st state. Puerto Rico? 52nd state. Amnesty? Rubber stamp. Open borders? Rubber stamp. Political prisons? Rubber stamp.

I wonder if they realize that if the president were decided on popular vote that Republicans would then spend time and money in ca and NY to siphon off more red voters.
I’m pretty sure that legitimate votes would no longer matter under a national popular vote system. It would just be a matter of who could manufacture the most fraudulent votes from Dead Moose Junction or bleed them from the walls of the fifty-third precinct.

Which is why I think it likely a future president, perhaps Trump, perhaps someone later will have some nasty choices in front of them.
Democrats in office and their leftist core of activists are busy nailing their standard to the mast and refusing any institution that blocks them from total power. The other 3/4's of the US population has to decide whether to fight (hopefully politically) to crush this group or acquiesce (some might say submit) to the coup.
Not sanguine that the Dem leftists can be forced back in their box without a lot of drama, pain, and losses now.
And that is because normal Dem types are out declaring that they want us dead and justify seizing power by any means possible.
Use time left to us wisely because I don't think this current crop of violent and evil Democrats will stop short of ACW II.
Whether it is something like the Time of Troubles or much worse, it is out there and foreign countries like Qatar, China, etc. are egging it on to bring us down.

I still don't know why DeSantis ended his campaign when he did. It was sudden and not clear at all. So she ended up with second most delegates and would have had the argument for being the nom. I think that was the plan.
To have her be the nom and get steamrolled by Kamala.

Yes, yes, give in to that stupidity:
1) she's never won a contested race since her first win
2) Davos happened, no matter how many of them pretend it didn't
3) fundraising from fools is not a measure of actual, broad appeal.
4) she still ain't black. No matter how many black churches she "preachifies" at with a sudden, new-found Southern accent and cadence.

The lesson of such things is that the perceived losing side ALWAYS seeks foreign alliances. South damn near got it with the UK and France except the people of those countries strongly opposed it. US got it with France in the Revolutionary War with UK and plenty of foreign interference in the French and Russian Revolutions, and Spanish Civil Wars.
We have not seen a civil war yet in a nuclear power but the potential here is pretty awful. Swalwell was a canary in the coal mine with their hideous thinking. To them, it is better to destroy the US than for them to lose power forever.
Never underestimate fanaticism as a factor.

Like most things, it was a compromise. Jackson really did not want to start an earlier Civil War and South Carolina got a political reconsideration of the Tariffs of Abomination. It would be as if you are blaming your namesake for not going to Hartford and arresting all the New Englanders involved in that Secession Conference in the War of 1812.
Usually if you put down a marker that the political game is no longer to be tolerated, like Charles II trying to arrest his parliamentary opposition, then the only recourse by those resisting is violence.
Same goes for international affairs. Whether the cause for violence is righteous or not is the judgment of history, not the participants at the time.
He backed down from the conflict and got Congress to reopen the debate on tariffs that were the source of SC's beef in the 1830s.
This gave SC the impression that it had veto power over federal policy.

So I made the crepe.
Didn't rest after, but cooked strait away. Wasn't at all tired -- I must by much stronger the the Frenchies.
My crepe was a little lumpy though, so I'll give them that.
(Sorry, I had to finish the joke I started above.) Apologies to all who had to read this.

GOP won’t even pass a voter ID bill.

Note...with 53 Senators.
And 80% popular support. Which means at least 1/3 of D votes want it too. I honestly don't know what Thune is thinking. I mean, I suspect some things but I don't know.

Also Biden's announcement preempted the fact that she's not even black.
"I'm gonna pick a black woman." Picks her. End of "is she black" conversation because their whole side will play along anyway.
Except Trump didn't care. He stood in a room full of blacks and challenged it outright. Such gigantic balls.

Note: Cloture vote used to be a vote when people decide that everybody understood their position and there was no more need for discussion.
This is in no way what goes on any longer in the Senate. 90% of Senators know which way they would vote, so we should have a 90% cloture vote, if the Senators were honest.
When 60% of the Senate is pretty sure about how they'd vote, the simple majority wins.

And your precious cities will starve in the dark long before you muster an army.

All I know is that SC objected to tariffs passed by Congress, and their tantrum led to Congress taking up the issue again.
This victory created the fire-eaters who, alongside Calhoun (who, of course, died before the war), led the charge towards secession instead of compromise.
As much as the Missouri Compromise, I blame Jackson for the Civil War.

Trump is putting an intolerable toll on their illegal immigration operations and remember, the Democrats in the Civil War acted before Lincoln and Congress could put any restraints on their spread of slavery.

What was so hilarious, such pronouncements from on high are actually highly fucking illegal. Numerous, myriad Federal laws are very clear on this.
Absolutely illegal every which way to Sunday. But of course the cucks in government can’t be bothered by such trivialities.
This was not the design or intent of “Affirmative Action”, by the way, an end run around the 1964 civil rights law passed by Congress.
It’s been queered to force completely unqualified “minorities” into positions they are not remotely qualified. This is considered progress. Cultural Regression more like it.
I guarantee there are highly qualified black females that would be a great addition to the Courts. But, they aren’t brain dead Liberals, thus they are excluded. Discriminated against, you might say.

Now I don't care. Black, Indian, White, whatever, she supports terrible things politically. But if we are playing the media's game about the importance of race she's Indian not Black. Hell, she's as much white as she is black.

She's black when it is perceived to giver her status.

Before Trump came in, we were *1* SCOTUS vote away from the idea that the Congress could compel economic action as part of regulation of commerce.
--
We were also one vote away from gutting the 1st Amendment.
"Fake news" was coined by Hillary as laying the groundwork for FEC and FCC regulations on all news and news commentary.
I guarantee hidden in those agencies are reams of rules that would require licensing, registration and KYC on all news/new-related websites.
By 2020, it would be basically illegal to say or write anything conservative.
They would have rolled to super-majorities in Congress on that.
And Garland was that vote.

"Kamala Harris just told black women they should stop being the loyal backbone of the Democratic Party out of civic duty and start demanding 'I’m going to get mine also!'
“I' think it’s okay for us to be a bit transactional, too,'” Harris said. “'And just say, I’m going to get mine also!'”
Also Kamala Harris, this time to her, er, "political mentor" Willie Brown: "Our relationship was transactional and the transaction is over."
Brown's long string of young female protegees who got plum commission appointments and the like when their transactions were over was an open secret among Left politicians in the San Francisco Bay Area. Traces could be seen in the media, but very little actual reporting was done.

An Army Medical nurse told me Ebola is so damn deadly, it is somewhat self limiting in terms of a epidemic or at least pandemic. It kills everyone so quickly, it tends to burn out before reaching critical mass. I guess that’s “good” for some values of good.

Clancy wrote a book in that vein, 'Rainbow Six'. Synopsis:
" Horizon Corporation's CEO John Brightling as part of his secret radical environmentalist plot, "the Project". Viewing humanity as a "disease" for causing environmental destruction, Brightling plans to wipe out nearly all of humanity using a modified strain of the Ebola virus"
Scary shit.

Democrats:
Oh come-on! You cannot blame former POTUS Joey Biden for losing Kamala's election. Joe wasn't even mentally there. And that was the purpose of the Biden administration's handlers.
They used Biden's autopen to change our citizens' government that our ancestors fought for dearly. They had free reign over destroying our U.S. government to make it Socialist. A Democracy (mob rule) is a path to Socialism, whereby a Republic as defined by our citizens' Constitution of the U.S. gives a balanced statistical weighting to all States' citizens.
"A Republic, if you can keep it.", Benjamin Franklin, 1787

I have discussed the EC with a bog standard liberal whack job - “Would you want NYC and LA to decide all our elections?”
He paused a second, and confidently said “Yes”. Hm. Crazy, but that’s what you’re up against.”
It always amazes that people think this is some new idea, when all of this was argued out at great length during the 1787 Constitutional Convention. The big states, notably New York, wanted direct election from the start. The small population members said “no way, we’re not joining any union if this is the deal, and there’s 9 of us and only 4 of you.”
Why don’t we allow direct election of the President? Because now, as then, this Union breaks up and is over if any group tries it.

we need something like that at the state level - cities and burbs can dominate the rest of the state otherwise. Look at the Gerrymanders where none of them think twice of totally disenfranchising the rural areas at the national level.

The power brokers need the retards to be the front men, so the dumber the better.
