There is a large gulf between books being banned and books not being available in a public library. The books are not banned. They are freely published without punishment. They are freely available for purchase in many ways. But libraries have limited shelf space and a mandate to serve the pubic. It is not censorship to question whether providing books that show underage sex acts is questionable.

That is because Harris was part of the decision making process that led to the disaster. She has always boasted about being 'the last person in the room' when Biden makes decisions. So she can wear this one too. The basic idiocy of the timing and procedure of the situation rests on the Biden/Harris Administration. It is a classic media technique these days. The Republican reaction to a Democratic failure gets more attention than the actual failure.

You could say the same about any President, even previous ones... But Biden can't even perform the duties when he is 'on duty' in the White House. That is why his own party shivved him and have coldly defenestrated him.

The interview will be massaged and packaged and produced more than any Hollywood movie in the past 50 years. This is Kamala's "coming out party" and it will be made to look amazing. However professional Dana Bash may be (and usually she is pretty good), she will be on a very short leash and only given a select list of questions to ask. Follow ups will be non-existent. And the Emotional Support Governor will be by Kamala's side to jump in if she starts windmilling her hands and talking like a kindergarden teacher.

Actually, he is in Delaware at his beach house, recovering from his difficult California vacation.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are getting at...

Entirely possible. Trump is old. But if he is elected and cannot serve his full term, then Vance will step in. And do a very good job. He is used to dealing with crisis and coming through successfully.

Trump and Biden both took advantage of student deferments (four and five respectively), then when they ran out a medical deferment. Biden DOES attend ceremonies, when it is convenient. But he does seem to get bored easily, as his watch checking scandal showed. And also 'forgets' the fallen. Trump attended the ceremony at the request of the families of the deceased. Ask yourself why Biden and/or Harris were not invited.

Makes sense. The real villains are the human traffickers and smugglers who depend on fleecing immigrants to make money. Remove their incentives (and hopefullly remove THEM in the process) and the problem will largely be solved. There is no reason any true refugee or asylee need leave Europe and 'flee' to the UK, except convenience and economics. Which AFAIK are not valid reasons for an asylum claim.

Canada needs EVs like fish need bicycles. We have more oil than almost any other country. Brutal winters. Long commutes. Crumbling infrastructure. Where do EVs fit into this scenario? Ford and Toyota are correct in switching to hybrid engine technology more and more. I think Trudeau very very reluctantly is starting to push back gently on his lefty tendencies. There is an election looming, and he needs to drift back to the centre and try to appeal to voters.

Yet again, the Harris campaign is trying to explain their policies by proxy. Nothing direct, but a spokeshole hints and speculates about an issue- testing the wind before making a commitment. I guess we are all waiting with baited breath until Herself finally speaks on CNN. At least speaks a little, as much as her Emotional Support Governor lets her.

Neither does Joe Asthma. I guess that is why he hid at his beach house and did not bother to attend the ceremony.

Now, zero for infinity plus four. Although I do agree, Walz WILL come tumbling down. Down to defeat after Vance exposes his totalitarian beliefs and BS.

...and your evidence to back up this assertion is what, exactly?

Because the VP pick is generally campaigning on behalf of the top of the ticket. Not sitting and holding her hand and making sure she doesn't mess up too badly. It is a terrible look, generally only one that happens when the media is running puff pieces and not trying to commit journalism. It makes Harris look weak.

What other reason could there be? CNN will be a warm tongue bath of an interview anyway. It will be pre recorded and edited and massaged. So why does she need a White Man beside her, I thought she was a strong independent WOC.

Wrong again! What does that make you now, zero for infinity plus one?

At the risk of sounding too "American", can I plead the Fifth?

Sorry chum, none of the three are the United States. Cost of education there is insane. Keep trying though. Keep up your perfect score of zero for..... how many now? I can't recall.

She didn't have to learn, she was taken on board by Biden as a favour owed to James Clyburn. Seems she hasn't done much to educate herself while VP either. Her staff retention rate is abysmal, she has face planted at any jobs she has been tasked with, and achieved the remarkable feat of being even less popular than Biden.

If you care to know, I finished my pre and post graduate degrees in two different countries. And now, ironically, live in a third. Could you rephrase your question in... the form of a question?

I am enjoying your random attempts at grammar, capitalization, and the like. Please carry on. Oh, and thank you for the compliment that I am capable of sense. A pity that Harris seems not to be.

It means that IF she can prepare notes to read, and IF she knows the questions/subject in advance, she can sound serious and intelligent. However, a debate is the opposite. She will have to answer, not just read pointed talking points. And there is NO evidence she is capable.

"Vice President Harris. You said on more than one occasion that COVID took the lives of more than 220 MILLION Americans. Can you tell us where and how those 220 million victims were laid to rest?" No wonder she wanted to take notes to the debate. Like taking your textbooks to a final exam.

Biden has set the record for vacation days as President. If he even tried to swing a golf club he would probably dislocate his shoulder. Also the record for fewest interviews and press conferences. It is telling that the other half of the "Biden-Harris Administration" is following his lead.
