Worst Week 2 of any Presidency Ever? WSJ Article

The black caucus had already threatened the democrats by saying they would boycott anyone other than Kamala being nominated. That added a lot to her support wether by choice or not.

 

I consider the positions of attorney general and district attorney as executive experience. She oversaw large organizations and exercised executive level decision-making. There were a few rungs above her, but not many.

 

Attorney general and district attorney are not "executive" experience in the larger sense. Both of those jobs require the person to deal with the legal cases put in front of them. They don't deal with all of the problems of society like a governor does. A governor has to decide what is important to his state; everything from energy supply, social services, disaster prevention and relief, crime, prisons, education, economy, the environment, tourism, culture wars, agriculture, industry, homelessness, mental health services, food safety, development, real estate, insurance, and so much more. A governor cannot possibly deal with and prioritize every possible issue. He has to pick and choose. And for every issue, there is not a binary answer (innocent or guilty)--the right answer is typically a compromise of some sort. No one gets what they want, but everyone gets what they need. A governor also develops skills in negotiating with a legislature. Negotiating with an opposing attorney is not the same by a long shot.

While attorney general and district attorney are very responsible and important jobs, they do not come close to the vast amount and broad areas of responsibility that a governor has. A term as governor is a much better indicator of presidential ability than an attorney general (or a businessman).

 

California's Attorney General is a chief executive position overseeing a dept of more than 5000 employees with a budget exceeding 1 billion dollars (yes, that's a b).

Considering that California was the world's 6th largest economy when Harris was A.G., I don't consider this a nothing job.

 

I didn't say it was. It's an important job, no doubt. But not the same as being governor (unless, maybe, we're talking about the governor of Alaska or something). The responsibilities and decision-making are nowhere near as diverse. Legal cases and justice are just a small part of what a governor has to be concerned about. We are talking about what it takes to be president of the U.S.--an extremely responsible job.

 

Don't you want to see how that dirt poor bartender turned congressman/woman making $170K, AOC, suddenly became worth $20 million dollars overnight? These NGOs are what I've been waiting to become transparent. This is going to be so entertaining...

 

Well, since you ask....... yes. Yes, I sure would like to see that.

Can you show us? Or are you just, well, telling a lie?

Would you please show us? We're interested to see your fascinating information.

Don't just scurry away now, buddy - show us the info please!!

 

I disagreed, but perhaps your point is well taken.

Define "the Democrats"

 

All the avocados will die...

...and Cali will have water in abundance!

 

The states go to battle with Trump, with a federal judge in Rhode Island slapping a restraining order on Trump after a lawsuit by Connecticut. Trump is threatening to cut off federal funding for health care, housing, roads and bridges, and more.

Gov. Lamont reacts to restraining order on White House

 

No, California will NOT have water in abundance. Try to pay attention. When Trump released the water, it started flowing . . . get this . . . towards the ocean. Gravity has a tendency to do that. Trump threw the water away to pretend to make a point. California cannot get that water back. It was valuable fresh water (for agriculture, firefighting, human consumption, etc.) when Trump released it, and it will soon be worthless salt water. Another failure for Dimwit Donald. Destroying value as only an incompetent businessman possibly can.

 

Yup. Right up there with playing golf, hosting a fake reality show, and bankrupting casinos. VERY VERY responsible.
