How will they attack Harris?

Just got off the phone with a politically astute colleague. He lives in CA and leans right...

He said the rub on Harris will not so much be willie brown, but her record prosecuting small time marijuana cases. I agree on brown, they really do not have a leg to stand on with the orange shitgibbon. Be ready for the MJ stuff....

in our budget so his billionaire cronies could get tax breaks.

If there were no higher taxes on the horizon, THAT would make me upset.

wondering what just hit them. I don't think they will ever recover. They can't credibly attack Harris as a prosecutor because....Law n Order, which is all Trump has left to hang his hat on. What have they come up with out of the gate? "Phony Kamala" Pathetic. They are up against a strong Black/Asian woman with, wait for it - MIKE PENCE, who calls his wife MOTHER!

That moment from the debate where she attacked Biden.

I will expect that Senator Harris will have an awesome explanation and reply.

As San Francisco DA, Harris refused to seek the death penalty — even on a case where a very respected police officer was tragically killed. Marijuana sales cases were routinely reduced to misdemeanors. And marijuana possession cases were not even on the court’s docket. They were simply not charged. Unless there was a large grow case, or a unique circumstance, this was the reform-minded approach then-DA Harris’ office took. The accusations about marijuana prosecutions being harsh during her tenure are absurd. The reality was quite the opposite.
