    Trumph did a good job of playing low key in the debate and then actually shutting up for a bit after, while the Dems were freaking out over Biden. Now he's gone full Trumph. You never go full Trumph.

    No, not physically, someone started to ask him another question, but the host interrupted and said “we have leave it there, by the Trump team”. The crowd sounded pissed. His handlers knew it was a shit show and called it early.

    well, I happened to watch this live only because I always watch foxnews while at the gym. They had technical issues at the beginning that resulted in trump having to wait around for about 25 minutes before coming onstage. Then they had sound issues during the interview which made it difficult for trump and the journalists to hear each other at times.

    Here’s a hint - she went to Howard university, an HBCU, in 1983

    great, because only black people go to HBCUs. Still doesnt answer the question. Why did she identify as indian when in california and now identifies as black on the national stage?

    I've been following her for many years as a former CA resident. She's always been very, very clear about her background. DEI hire, sure, I hope the racists keep telling themselves that!

    She didn't. Continuing to parrot your orange god is a bad look.

    She identified as black in 2019.

    AP Definitive Source | How we will identify Kamala Harris

    How far back do you need to go?

    There are plenty of instances in her earlier campaigns where she expressed pride in her heritage.

    @vaxcardinal - when did she identify solely as Indian?

    Thanks. Two things in watching that video. One, I'd love to see him trip one day over that long red tie. Wouldn't want to see him hurt, I'd just like to see him try to get up off the floor. And two, whenever he talks, I wish I knew what that invisible thing is in front of him that he keeps mashing with his hands. It's one of the most irritating mannerism I've ever seen. But maybe that's because he's one of the most irritating human beings I've ever seen.

    Maybe not on here, but there were definitely people on X/Twitter trying to push that narrative in an effort to salvage that disaster.

    She was also President of the Black Law Students Association in UCSF in the late 80s.

    Maybe Trump will come up with a chart that purports to show Harris's long and winding road to becoming black.
