When I heard that Kamala was dropping out this morning I felt really sad as I was becoming more sure everyday that I wanted her for President. However, my first instinct way back at the beginning was that I thought Biden could best help us with foreign affairs with the respect and experience he had to try to gain back world respect. My thoughts at that time was Kamala would be a great VP. She could gain more experience in the four years with Biden stepping up to be President in the second four years. So it could not happen if she were still running. Maybe this was needed for the next part to happen. She can concentrate on nailing Trump on the Senate Judiciary Committee now.
Bullshit….she was a victim of being a black woman…the press and pundits….could not stand it….racism and mysogyny….well i'm done….you all got it…Trump and all https://t.co/Tv15ro6T1B
To my supporters, it is with deep regret—but also with deep gratitude—that I am suspending my campaign today.
But I want to be clear with you: I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for the People. All the people.https://t.co/92Hk7DHHbR
Good Afternoon, TODville Community.
I don’t blame Senator Harris. She’s exiting the 2020 presidential race on her terms.
I salute her. I appreciate her. I wish her the best as the Impeachment continues.
Alllllll of these elegant tributes to Kamala Harris…After she leaves the race…where were you all when she was being attacked by the beltway media and pollsters…most of whom are white…
It would be wise for the remaining Democrats in the race to be very careful how they speak about Senator Harris going forward. And they should think hard and long about who they are going to choose as a running mate for the eventual nominee.
Agree, Don. And I hope Senator Harris also keeps a low profile to see where it all goes, in case she’s picked for VP. Don’t want any of our candidates having to walk back too much said in the moment. (Of course, she’ll be in the Senate at the impeachment hearing, soon, where I hope to see her take down anybody who needs taking down.)
Joe and Kamala is something I can get behind, I’m not sure about her for Attorney General or a Cabinet post. I just don’t think those positions are a good use of her immense talents.
Even though I ragged on Joe sometimes, I’d vote for him for President in a heartbeat and sleep soundly with my decision. But Warren and Boot-leg both rub me the wrong way.
Warren, Buttigieg, and Sanders definitely rub *me* the wrong way!
Sigh, why does the US campaigning/election process have to be so long and unending, not to mention repetitive?. It seems there is never a long enough restful break in between for the parties to actually WORK together. As soon as one election is done, campaigning for another starts. How can fences ever be (partially) mended before the next battle starts?
Joe Biden and Hillary used the positions that Barack appointed them to and gained knowledge and skills needed for a presidential candidate. Kamala could hone her skills the say way.
DEVELOPING: Democratic-led House Intel Cmte. has released its draft impeachment inquiry report entitled “The Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report."
Breaking: House Intel Cmte’s impeachment report is out, finding "President Trump, personally and acting through agents within and outside of the U.S. government, solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, to benefit his reelection." https://t.co/rVlRfD6PTq
Hang in there, Don. There could still be good stuff happening in the near future relating to her. But, I agree, sometimes the process is infuriating. Been there already.
whyyyyyy..is it that blk folks are supposed to be so pragmatic…the grown folks in the room…now we have an all white debate stage…..that does not sit well with me…nope not at all
I just had this “debate” with someone, we’ve survived over four hundred years of a system that was not designed or built for us. In fact, a system that was designed and built in some respects against us. So the “Trump” card won’t work in getting us to the polls nor will it instill any fear of four more years of Trump. But what will get us out to vote is voting for someone that looks like us, and a sense that our votes matter. To be more blunt, now with Kamala out of the race. The remaining Democrats don’t have to pretend to give a fuck about the Black agenda. I can say that because I’ve got all the receipts, to this goddamn day the Democrats only seem to give a fuck about one demographic. And that is the White Working Class vote, even after the WWC has shown time and time again that they aren’t really interested in anything the Democrats have to say. The Dems still rush towards them like they are the only demographic that matters. So yes, I’m boiling that Kamala had to drop out. Because frankly, I don’t see Warren or Boot-leg or some of the remaining candidates giving a fuck about the Black vote or the Black agenda.
And the next Debate when you won’t see a Black Face on the stage, will be striking. So basically the 8 years of Obama didn’t change the mindset of America one iota. This the reality of America that most Black people see.
And now Boot-leg or Bernie or Warren might be handed the nomination on a silver platter even though either of them has done any work in the Black community. This is the infuriating part, you don’t have to step on foot in our community, but you can get handed the presidency. I know I’m going on and on but I’m feeling a certain kind of way today.
You can be stupid and a cheat and a fucking pervert and be president……If you’re White. But if you’re Black you have to be at or near the top of your class at one of the more prestigious universities in the world. You damn near have to walk on water and turn around and turn it into wine. America would never elect a Black person for President that had three wives and a shitload of bankruptcies and that had screwed a porn star or two. Black people aren’t allowed to fail upwards, they always have to be the best and the brightest to earn anything. To some, Kamala dropping out is ho-hum, but to us it is painful. And it takes us to a time before Barack got elected President. That is where we are at right now.
Then Don, it is up to you and us to make sure that the best of the white candidate gets into the WH. Let’s survive in REALITY. And then keep building the ARC. If Barack was running again, I would be on top of a flagpole shouting for votes for him…but it is what it is.
Make no mistake about it, I’m going to vote for the Democratic nominee, to do otherwise would be foolish and counter productive. BUT, that does not negate all the bullshit and racism that the Black and the Brown have to go through even within the Democratic Party when it comes to voting or running for office.
I AM BESIDE MYSELF WITH IMMENSE ANGER, SADNESS, GRIEF. She is too good for this kind of thing to happen while the other mediocre do nothings fill the stage.
Are we sure Kamala is out? Could she not join back in at a later date? Maybe this is a strategic move – waiting for the herd to thin. We can hope. I was so looking forward to her debating Trump! I’m not really enthused about any of the remaining candidates…
Look, we had the Unicorn in Barack and he didn’t disappoint, but, if white America won’t vote for a White Women for president, I didn’t see a black woman having a ghost of a chance, especially one who is not as strong campaign wise as Barack was. Kamala is my girl, but, not for president – yet.
I want someone NOW who will kick trump the HELL out of the WH! And America, that is Joe Biden.
Today, @HouseIntel released our official report on the impeachment inquiry into President Donald J. Trump. Tune in live as I discuss the significant evidence our inquiry uncovered of Trump’s Ukraine misconduct and obstruction of Congress. https://t.co/B6FO4yFU3C
– Humiliates himself during Macron press conference – Rudy Giuliani phone records exposed – Appeals court rules against Trump – Kamala Harris drops out – At least she'll get to be the Attorney General who puts Trump in prison – It's still only 3:30pm
He’s not the yahoo shitforbrains that he appears to be
First big takeaway from House intel report: It concludes that VP Pence– who would become POTUS if Trump is removed– was "either knowledgeable of or active participant" in conduct that is basis for impeachment. pic.twitter.com/Ty5eQtYDAx

Kamala is a cop but now everybody wants her to be AG? GMAFB.
FYI – Senator Kamala Harris has already been Attorney General for the largest department outside the DOJ. For which she got brutally DENIGRATED. She's a Senator now and she doesn't need to go back to something she's already accomplished. So save the condescending recommendations.
My people, please be cautious with voicing your disappointment that no person of color is in the race. We have people who can’t discern that while you are not happy, that you will not sit out the dance. You know how we do. This election is TOO DAMN IMPORTANT to sit out. Your word on twitter, FB, in your community will carry a lot of weight.

Kamala Harris is an incredible talent with unlimited potential. Her career has been defined by taking on those who abuse power and seeking equity and justice for all people. Her intellect and insight will continue to be needed by the Democratic Party and the country.
When I heard that Kamala was dropping out this morning I felt really sad as I was becoming more sure everyday that I wanted her for President. However, my first instinct way back at the beginning was that I thought Biden could best help us with foreign affairs with the respect and experience he had to try to gain back world respect.

So it could not happen if she were still running. Maybe this was needed for the next part to happen. She can concentrate on nailing Trump on the Senate Judiciary Committee now.
It is going to take a lot of work and considerable time to rebuild the trust and respect of our allies. He and his administration have been a wrecking crew. Frankly, I don’t see anyone on that stage who can recoup our international standing except Joe Biden and who he selects to be vp and appoints as Sec of State. This has concerned me since 2017. All the others would need to play catch up and have at least year of ojt. He knows where to start.
I can’t wait to see Senator Harris questioning in the Senate trial! Trump’s people won’t know what hit them.

Hello, fam. Been out of pocket most of the day, was surprised to turn on my phone and find that Kamala has suspended her campaign. This just doesn’t feel/smell right. She already qualified for the December debate; her November fundraising exceeded the goal by 12%; she’s been racking up endorsements from heavy hitting groups, organizations and individuals; and the tag team hit pieces from NYTimes and WaPo resulted in other publications taking a deeper dive in scrutinizing the way she was being cover vs the way others were being covered.
Something just doesn’t smell right.
When she to the stage in November, she had already qualified for December. The December debate is in LA — her home state.
Please excuse me if answer to my question has already been posted by our fab TOD Fam. Who’s the one lawyer for GOP in tomorrow’s Judiciary Committee hearings? There are 3 from Dems & 1 GOP. Why are my spideys thinking Turley is the GOP one? Could be totally off base. 😇
While I deplore Harris’s exit, a bit early and sudden, I am 100% preoccupied with one thing and one thing only: I will fall in line with whomever can dethrone that dictator. I will vote wholeheartedly even for Bloomberg (who endorsed President Obama twice over his party) so long as he billions can help oust the sick child in DC.
I hope I don’t have to vote for the Senior Senator from Vermont nor the one from Hawaii. But I will do it if that is what it takes to get the Orange Mistake out!
The diversity of Kamala’s supporters was reminiscent of the Obama campaigns, especially ’08. Drew posted a really eloquent tribute to her #KHive
our authentic selves. We didn’t have to water down our own identity in order to be accepted by others who were completely different. We were able to see the differences in each other as a strength rather than a threat to our own selves. Our individual challenges differ, whether
Going off of historical memory, think she’s lighting the Capitol Tree. Capitol tree is usually lit the first Wednesday of December by the Speaker; the National tree the first Thursdays, by the President/his rep.

Re: #Kamala’s abrupt suspension of her campaign, right before the big debate: After sleeping on it & mulling it over with @OPCGhost, I’m convinced that she made a deal, and that what we’re gonna see is #BidenHarris.
This is huge. Germany officially expels two Russian diplomats for their role in the Berlin murder of a Chechen refugee. No less significant than Russia’s Skripal assassination attempt in Salisbury. https://t.co/UT0QZMZNkU
Devin is a fool. Will be interesting to see whether CNN goes for immediate dismissal; or really fuck with/over old Devin by defending them self and start litigation with discovery. Think of all that would expose…
Hopefully, as Dems will now control Virginia government, they will tighten up their SLAPP law.
Exactly! And America, make note of who does this, because they can not be trusted to work in good faith for the American people. Vote them out and hold them all accountable.
When Republicans disrupt today's proceedings with lies and fake process complaints, please remember:
We *know* why they're doing this: For purely instrumental purposes.
– Bails on NATO summit early after Macron, Trudeau, Johnson and Princess Anne mock him – What a crybaby! – Televised impeachment hearings resume today – Rudy admits “-1” phone call was from Trump – Trump is going to prison – It’s still only 8:50am
Our choice:
4 ways to understand the Impeachment Report:
a) 300-page impeachment report.
b) 22-page executive summary.
c) 4-page preface.
d) 78 words in the Headings:
As follows:
The President’s Request for a Political Favor
The President Removed Anti-Corruption Champion Ambassador Yovanovitch
The President’s Hand-Picked Agents Began the Scheme
The President Froze Vital Military Assistance
The President Conditioned a White House Meeting on Investigations
The President Pressed President Zelensky to do a Political Favor
The President’s Representative Ratcheted up Pressure on the Ukrainian President
The President’s Security Assistance Hold Becomes Public
The Presidents’s Scheme Unraveled
The President’s Chief of Staff Confirmed Aid was Conditioned on Investigations
(per the RM show.)
Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, Hakeem Jeffries, to RM:
“At the hearing tomorrow before the House Judiciary Committee,
you can expect that we will explore concerns that the Framers of the Constitution had as it relates to potential aberrant presidential behavior. What we’re going to see is that the Framers of the Constitution had 3 particular concerns a) abuse of power, b) betrayal of the Constituion for personal gain and c) corruption of the election process. President Donald Trump’s conduct has managed to implicate the impeachment trifecta. He has actually engaged in behaviors across the board that the Framers of the Constitution would have found abhorrent…”
–the video seems to be cut off here..
.@JonathanTurley was an utter waste of time. His call for solid evidence was a truism. He gave no reason at all to regard the evidence gathered by @RepAdamSchiff as insufficient to establish impeachable offenses. And his carping about the speed of the process was pointless.
#JudiciaryCommittee Prof. Pamela S Karlan should be broadcasted on prime time television. If ever we needed civics and history lessons it's now. Her voice is exactly what we need. And for all the professional women that were ever told to tone it down, I present you her.
#PamKarlan was awesome. Her focus on the right to vote was spot on: she alone explained how Trump’s abuses of power threatens that right. And she knew how to explain the nature of that threat.
@JonathanTurley was hired by Putin's boys aka @RepDougCollins et al to obfuscate the law and avoid the facts. Prof. Turley if you needed money, a gofundme campaign would've been a better option. This will be a huge stain on your reputation @11thHour
Turley is going to come off looking like a pompous fool agreeing with everything the Republicans throw out. Deep down inside it kills him to have to basically grovel at the feet of these fools.
Today Senate GOP confirms anti-abortion activist Sarah Pitlyk, who opposes IVF & was rated unqualified, to be a judge Meantime, Dems got scared away from ever nominating the overqualified Pam Karlan for fear GOP wld say she was too liberal. Dems must change our judges strategy.
Listening to Turley right now remembering hating hearing him on tv criticizing almost everything PBO did. He always tried to make himself not appear partisan. “Fast and Furious” was started by GW not Obama.
Hello OG, I heard him too. Can’t stand his phony behind. All their hatred of PBO never lets them be impartial….it’s so obvious, while Turley tries to sound so damn innocent.
Soooo…. what would the GOP and Turley say is worthy of impeachment? Yah Clinton lied about his moral failings. However, Trump lies consistently about everything to everyone. Want to talk about sexual indiscretions? Trump trumps Clinton there too.

The Obama Diary 
Oh no. Kamala Harris is apparently dropping out. I thought she was doing GREAT. Hope it’s not true.
Hopefully whoever gets the nomination will pick her to be VP, if that’s the case. I think she would be great.
Greetings, TOD! Hope all is well.
Thank you, Nerdy!
Agree!
And greetings to you!
Thank you, Jacqueline! ❤️😎🌹
Hello Terri, I too believe she will be a great member of the Administration.
If not VP, then perhaps AG!
Yes!
Yes, I can, also see her as AG. We certainly can use her after all the damage Barr has done.
I’d like to hear what Sen. Harris says is the reason she decided to drop out, before the whole country gets in on the speculation. #Respect
When I heard that Kamala was dropping out this morning I felt really sad as I was becoming more sure everyday that I wanted her for President. However, my first instinct way back at the beginning was that I thought Biden could best help us with foreign affairs with the respect and experience he had to try to gain back world respect.

Your take is pretty much where I am, too!
Sorry to see her go as well. She is wonderful and would make a great VP AG or President.
Thank you for this cheerful and inspiring post, Nerdy!
Yes 🤩
I hope the people who wanted Kamala, will now focus our end game – which is to DEFEAT trump with a Dem candidate. PLEASE!!!
Yes please!! That’s our only focus.
I am so angry that Kamala is dropping out.
Kamala is dropping out!!!!!Nooooooooooo!!!
various reports….funding…staff issues. But you know she still has prospects for the next WH.
Good Afternoon, TODville Community.

Congrats, JO’B on your Furst Au ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you, NW for a new Post.
Thanks, nena!
So sorry to hear Sen.Harris is dropping out.
I hope Kamala throws her support behind Joe. I see her as a great VP or Attorney General.
I just dropped that same idea here! She would be, in both cases. Or she’ll perhaps wait to run in the next election.
It would be wise for the remaining Democrats in the race to be very careful how they speak about Senator Harris going forward. And they should think hard and long about who they are going to choose as a running mate for the eventual nominee.
I so agree. I am so mad right now.
Agree, Don. And I hope Senator Harris also keeps a low profile to see where it all goes, in case she’s picked for VP. Don’t want any of our candidates having to walk back too much said in the moment.

VP is not a consolation Prize
Joe Biden and Hillary used the positions that Barack appointed them to and gained knowledge and skills needed for a presidential candidate. Kamala could hone her skills the say way.
Conservatives are praising Tulsi for getting Senator Harris to drop out. Why is Tulsi still running? She’s awful.
The Witch has caught the Hunter…Duncan, that is.

I am BURNING about Kamala.
Not over Don.
Hang in there, Don. There could still be good stuff happening in the near future relating to her. But, I agree, sometimes the process is infuriating. Been there already.
The ultimate goal is to vote Trump out of office.

The thing about Kamala is she is always in her groove. And we will always be right there with her.
Senator Harris is now well on her way to LEGEND status ….

Going off of historical memory, think she’s lighting the Capitol Tree. Capitol tree is usually lit the first Wednesday of December by the Speaker; the National tree the first Thursdays, by the President/his rep.
Morning everyone. She’s just saying this NOW?? He’s mentally ill and is a danger to our country. Remove him now!
Please god. My dream ticket after this nightmare . Thread
Interesting Theory
VP is not a consolation prize
I just suggested this possibility to my son this morning. I have been praying.
He’s not too smart. Treason weasel.
Devin is a fool. Will be interesting to see whether CNN goes for immediate dismissal; or really fuck with/over old Devin by defending them self and start litigation with discovery. Think of all that would expose…
Hopefully, as Dems will now control Virginia government, they will tighten up their SLAPP law.
Excellent! Share
Interesting but not surprising
Exactly! And America, make note of who does this, because they can not be trusted to work in good faith for the American people. Vote them out and hold them all accountable.
Doomsky mocks everyone and everything.
-He can expect to get it in the neck.
At least a bully would stay and stand his ground, but this guy, this guy runs and hides. Trump is weakest bully I’ve ever seen.
These hearings are so interesting from a history standpoint.
Yes they are. I loved how the three DEM constitutional witnesses applied the law to the facts.
Yes, they made everything so clear, to not understand what they were saying is a choice.
Our choice:
4 ways to understand the Impeachment Report:
a) 300-page impeachment report.
b) 22-page executive summary.
c) 4-page preface.
d) 78 words in the Headings:
As follows:
The President’s Request for a Political Favor
The President Removed Anti-Corruption Champion Ambassador Yovanovitch
The President’s Hand-Picked Agents Began the Scheme
The President Froze Vital Military Assistance
The President Conditioned a White House Meeting on Investigations
The President Pressed President Zelensky to do a Political Favor
The President’s Representative Ratcheted up Pressure on the Ukrainian President
The President’s Security Assistance Hold Becomes Public
The Presidents’s Scheme Unraveled
The President’s Chief of Staff Confirmed Aid was Conditioned on Investigations
(per the RM show.)
My goodness, I’ve seen doctoral dissertations with less detail.
Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, Hakeem Jeffries, to RM:
“At the hearing tomorrow before the House Judiciary Committee,
you can expect that we will explore concerns that the Framers of the Constitution had as it relates to potential aberrant presidential behavior. What we’re going to see is that the Framers of the Constitution had 3 particular concerns a) abuse of power, b) betrayal of the Constituion for personal gain and c) corruption of the election process. President Donald Trump’s conduct has managed to implicate the impeachment trifecta. He has actually engaged in behaviors across the board that the Framers of the Constitution would have found abhorrent…”
–the video seems to be cut off here..
Looks like Jonathan Turley is going all in with the GOP’s insanity.
She has an incredible mind.
And now Turley is going to look like a complete fool when he goes about disagreeing with everything Karlan has said.
Turley is going to come off looking like a pompous fool agreeing with everything the Republicans throw out. Deep down inside it kills him to have to basically grovel at the feet of these fools.
Good Morning, Good Day, Good Afternoon beloved TODbots👒💁♀️🎩💙💜💪💜💙
Listening to Turley right now remembering hating hearing him on tv criticizing almost everything PBO did. He always tried to make himself not appear partisan. “Fast and Furious” was started by GW not Obama.
Can’t stand that pompous arse.
Can’t stand that pompous arse.
Hello OG, I heard him too. Can’t stand his phony behind. All their hatred of PBO never lets them be impartial….it’s so obvious, while Turley tries to sound so damn innocent.
The GOP Counsel is just doing Trump’s wishes in muddying up Biden in this format instead of by using Ukraine.
Soooo…. what would the GOP and Turley say is worthy of impeachment? Yah Clinton lied about his moral failings. However, Trump lies consistently about everything to everyone. Want to talk about sexual indiscretions? Trump trumps Clinton there too.
New post.
