20. When she goes

Sat Jun 29, 2019, 10:35 AM

Jun 2019

after Sen. Warren (probably for the DNA test/Native American thing), you won't be wrestling anymore.

Sen. Harris likes to grin and giggle like a schoolgirl when she's on Stephen Colbert's show (yeah, I saw the interview), but when she's grilling a witness on the stand, she's vicious in a semi-likable sort of way to her followers.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Right. And how did Harris and her staff know Biden was going to make the segregationist... brush Jun 2019 #109

So are we to be satisfied that Biden did little preparation to combat such political attacks? Freethinker65 Jun 2019 #2

That's the thing. Corgigal Jun 2019 #6

When did one time Biden project ordainment? LakeArenal Jun 2019 #35

Say it? No. "Project" it? That's a subjective assessment, but I think he does project it. marylandblue Jun 2019 #50

Biden is doing the give no fucks approach Trump did. joshcryer Jun 2019 #97

I thought Joe's response was fine LakeArenal Jun 2019 #37

I am mystified by the general perception Mme. Defarge Jun 2019 #54

Ok - the majority of the comments are not going so well for Harris... Skya Rhen Jun 2019 #11
