A Brief History of Marge Simpson Versus Washington
You may think it’s a sign of our perpetually insane times that a member of the Trump administration somehow managed to kick up a feud with a cartoon character. Nevertheless, Trump’s Senior Legal Adviser, Jenna Ellis, recently tweeted that Democratic VP candidate Kamala Harris “sounds like Marge Simpson.” This prompted Marge, ever the consummate (albeit imaginary) professional, to issue a polite but cutting response, criticizing Ellis for resorting to name-calling, something she discourages in her young children, and for disrespecting suburban housewives. That might seem like the latest bizarre cut from the never-ending “greatest hits” of 2020. But The Simpsons, and Marge in particular, have long found themselves entangled with real life political figures, most of whom, like Ellis, underest...
Kamala Harris Joining Joe Biden’s Ticket As His VP Is Already Paying Off…Literally
Source: MANDEL NGAN / Getty Regardless if you like Joe Biden’s decision to name Kamala Harris as his choice for Vice President of the United States, its already paying off for him…literally. Kamal Harris joining Biden’s ticket is paying huge dividends for Biden already, and it’s only been two days. Before the California senator was named Biden’s running mate, it was a painful process to raise money. That is no longer the case, since Tuesday’s (Aug.11) announcement, the Biden/Harris campaign has raised a record $36 million, and that includes donations from 150,000 new donors, and the influx of cash shows no sign of slowing up. Now, despite some eye rolls from those who can’t seem to look past Kamala’s record as a prosecutor and decisions she made as California’s Attorney General, the enthus...

Black Bootlicker Hopped On Fox News To Say Sen. Kamala Harris Isn’t Black Enough
Source: The Washington Post / Getty Now that Sen. Kamala Harris has been named as Joe Biden‘s running mate for the 2020 presidential election, conservative media has rolled out the smear tactics as expected. On a Fox News program, a Black supporter of President Donald Trump has slammed Harris for not being Black enough. Stacy Washington, the co-chair of Black Voices for Trump and a SiriusXM talk show host, joined the network’s Fox & Friends program to make the declaration that Harris can’t claim her Blackness due to her ancestry. “She has really played up this idea that she’s a traditional Black American like myself and so many others who count ourselves among the millions of Black people who are descended from slaves,” Washington said. “But she’s no...
It Begins: ‘Newsweek’ Wastes No Time Running Racist Birtherism Op-Ed About Kamala Harris Citizenship
Source: The Washington Post / Getty It’s only been a day since Joe Biden announced Kamala Harris as his choice for vice president, and the racists are already hard at work trying to throw mud on her name. Newsweek’s credibility as of late has been sketchy and understandably so. The once-respected publication has become a breeding ground for far-right nonsense ran an op-ed just hours after Biden’s announcement about Senator Kamala Harris claiming that she’s not even a United States citizen. What makes op-ed even more suspect is that it was written by John Eastman, who ran against her. He also wrote the same kind of article, making the exact opposite argument in favor of Ted Cruz. Immediately after the Josh Hammer, the opinion editor for Newsweek hit the publish butto...
