    Kamala's Biggest Flip-Flop Yet That Has Everyone Talking and Proves Trump Right

    LOL! Her handlers are now putting out that she is for finishing the building of Trump's border wall right down to Trump's specifications.

    Kamala Harris seems to be quickly becoming the queen of the flip-floppers.

    There have been a variety of reports about her flip-flopping on positions such as fracking for example. Not by anything she says, mind you, but by unnamed people with her campaign. It sounds like they're trying to make her more electable but also giving her plausible deniability to say that she never really flipped, if she wanted to. She herself has not really outlined more than a couple of policies in her own words.

    So, let's recall. Not only had she previously attacked the building of the wall, but when Biden and Harris got in, they immediately stopped the building of the wall, as well as other Trump protections. That caused the border influx to blow up out of control. They not only didn't build it, they even paid millions just to have the material sit unused and then tried to sell off the material at a loss.

    Harris flip-flops on building the border wall (axios.com)

    If she's elected president, Kamala Harris pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border — a project she once opposed and called "un-American" during the Trump administration.

    Why it matters: It's the latest example of Harris flip-flopping on her past liberal positions such as supporting Medicare for All and banning fracking — proposals that aides say she now is against.

    • Harris is embracing a more hawkish immigration policy as Donald Trump's campaign spends tens of millions of dollars attacking her about the border.
    • But she still has significant differences with Trump on immigration, opposing his approach to family separation and his plans for mass deportations.

    This gets down to the two questions every voter must ask of Kamrade Kamala:

    1. Why haven't you done this while in office? In this case, being the Border Czar to boot.

    2. Why should we trust you to do it after the election?

    Not a flip. It's called compromise. Biden was ready and willing to sign the bipartisan border bill with support of VP Harris. In that billed, it called for monies to build more of the wall. Even if the wall is useless, which it is, the bill also contained monies for other things that the Ds wanted, including more immigration judges and advocates for children. The Ds who negotiated the bill figured the useless wall was worth giving to the Rs in order to get many of the things the Ds wanted.

    Compromise is how things used to work in Washington. But for Trump, compromise is a dirty word. He's a zero sum kind of idiot, and believes his way is the only way.

    "Kamrade Kamala"?

    PSA: The Trump brain worm can strike without warning and slowly destroys its host by attacking upper brain function. The symptoms are well documented and on full display in various places. Should you feel you might be a victim, seek medical attention immediately.

    Coming from you, that's a huge compliment and means my post is 100% spot on!

    It's not the first time the D's were willing to compromise on wall spending. Early in Trump's term, the D's were willing to pass a wall bill in exchange for citizenship for DREAMers. But at the 11th Hour, Trump reneged and the compromise died.

    Per usual poster is breathlessly quoting a poor quality source and then using ignorance to extrapolate. Harris took ad pictures at the border.... so guess what's there... a wall don't ask the felon where that portion of wall came from since a few days ago he posed in front of portions that his admin. didn't build (of the 50 miles they actually did!!! oops!) Next she stated she was supporting the border - note to Magats-- the border is more than a wall. She's supporting more border patrol, surveillance, and prevention measures. Now answering poster's question #2.Why should we trust you to do it after the election: Perhaps we must elect her since the felon has PROVEN he didn't do the job in his admin.

    Have you noticed as the election gets closer some of them get less and less rational? They thought they were up big in the 4th quarter only to see that lead vanish basically overnight and to a BLACK woman no less.

    Dang, since when is presenting two sources, Red States conservative and Axios liberal, using poor quality sources?

    Harris has not once done her job on the border. Not now, not ever. You are foolish to make such an unfounded claim.

    Democrats have approved border barrier funding for decades. This is nothing new. They wont be building a wall in the middle of the desert.

    Obama/Biden Built More Border Wall Than Trump - KPFK 90.7 FM

    During the Obama/Biden Administration's first term, and at their administration's urging, Congress passed the Secure Fence Act of 2011. And during the Obama/Biden Administration, the U.S. Government built 650 miles of fencing, of the wall, between the U.S. And Mexico. To put this ugly fact into context, the Trump Administration has only built 400 miles of the wall so far. And you can be sure that part of Trump's reason for his eleventh-hour attempt to build more miles of wall is because he hates to think Obama was better at anything than he is.

    Biggest flip flop to date. She can't be trusted to do anything more than socialist and communist initiatives. In a word for Kamala, liar.

    We'll accept the non-rebuttal and deflection as admission of poster's untenable position. BTW I'd love to see the explanation of the flawed thought process leading to this : "Harris has not once done her job on the border. Not now, not ever. You are foolish to make such an unfounded claim." Please provide any quote of such claim being made. Perhaps in another Maga fantasy alternate reality?

    Are we still running with the Communist boogeyman angle? That’s so 1980.

    Socialism isn’t that bad, though. Just ask the military. We are basically a Socialist organization, and my conservative friends love it without realizing what they are a part of :D.

    Maybe this is in exchange for Trump turning the Rs pro choice.

    You label Harris a liar, yet you trust Trump. That alone renders your character assessments not only unworthy of belief, but unworthy of serious consideration.
