Vice President Kamala Harris gave the public its first real look into her nascent presidential campaign with a stop at her organizationā€™s headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday night.

Harrisā€™ first applause line came when she discussed her background as California attorney general and as a courtroom prosecutor.

ā€œIn those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds,ā€ she said, earning cackles while she beamed, clearly enjoying the joke. ā€œPredators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trumpā€™s type.ā€

    Honestly, this is the kind of down-in-the-dirt campaigning I had hoped to see from Hillary back in 2016 before she tied an apron on and tried to convince everyone she was a sweet little motherly person. You canā€™t be sweet and kind with someone like Trump. You need to gather up the shit heā€™s piling up around the place and drown his ass in it.

    So if Kamala is gonna bring the pain, Iā€™m here for it. Trump needs to be beaten bloody on the pulpit. Because bullies can never handle being bullied themselves. Especially ones as thin skinned and stupid as Trump is.

      To be fair to Clinton, she did do some pain. Remember when she called many of the people who supported Trump, ā€œdeplorablesā€. This riled up America as if she was going too far with describing them this way. Here we are almost a decade later, and we are starting to realize that she was right.

      The political landscape is far different now than it was when it was Hilary vs. Trump. Trump has done his four years, and we have now seen the damage he and his constituents have done. We see now that the republican party watched Handmaidā€™s Tale and agreed with the fictional government in that story. There is no hiding how deplorable some of these folks are especially with the publishing of Project 2025.

        Yeah this is another example of how fucking stupid she was during that campaign. She attacked his supporters instead of him directly. The person who should have been the brunt of every single attack she could muster should have been Trump and only Trump. Instead she riled up his base and convinced a bunch of independents that she was an asshole, which she actually is but she kept unleashing her assholiness on the wrong people.

        I remember watching one of the more freeform debates with her and Trump and I kept waiting for her to wreck his ass and she kept acting like some kind of stupid nicey nice person (that she most definitely isnā€™t). I was like, ā€œWhat the fuck? Whereā€™s the dragon lady I bought tickets to see eat Trump for lunch???ā€

        And then as if that wasnā€™t all stupid as fuck, after the campaign failed and Trump got elected as president, she fucking goes out and starts blaming all the fucking left wing voters and Berniecrats for ā€œnot voting enoughā€ even though it was her dumbass fault she lost the election. Iā€™m a fucking Bernie voter and I pointlessly cast a ballot for her dumb ass.

        So yeah fuck Hillary eternally. I hope she spits in her fucking corn flakes when Kamala wins and becomes the first woman president.
