Quote:" If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed." Thomas Jefferson.

In the vice-presidential debate, Kamala Harris "quoted" Abraham Lincoln. Paraphrasing Harris, she said that when Abraham Lincoln was 27 days away from the next election, he said he would NOT nominate a justice for the Supreme Court until AFTER the election, because the American PEOPLE deserved a chance to elect their OWN choice for the Supreme Court.

The only problem with that is that Kamala just made that up. Abraham Lincoln never said that. He did NOT nominate a justice for the Supreme Court because Congress was not in session. They didn't return until 3 days after the election. The MOMENT Congress returned, Lincoln submitted his nomination.

But Kamala Harris thinks the American people are so stupid they will just believe any made up story and fail to check on it. Even left wing leaning Snopes says what she said is false.

Yeah but, if she were to have told the story correctly -
it would not have supported her position.

[quote]That Was Sarcasm[/quote]

I think the left has realized that the gig is up.
Everyone knows they are lying.
Certainly the left handed drawer knobs here on SW are all about lying.
They're even pushing some lame ass concept that here is no truth.

You know, after Trump wins in four weeks,
we have a lot of work to do - cleaning up all the leftists and the crap they leave laying around.

@Budwick Biden doubled down on refusing to answer about packing the Supreme Court, stating that the news headlines would fill the newspapers if he answered, (as if anyone reads physical papers anymore, but Biden is so out of it he doesn't know that), and he thinks the American people are SO STUPID they don't understand that [b]his NOT packing the Supreme Court would NOT be a headline??????[/b] They ARE planning to do it, and Biden thinks if he doesn't answer we won't notice that they are planning on taking out the 3rd branch of our government...effectively killing it...if they win this election.

Following in Obama's play book and hoping the American people are too lazy to do their own research.
@AbbeyRhode They believe it because they want to.
AbbeyRhode · F
@NoGamesTolerated True. They've been brainwashed by the media to hate Trump, so they have to believe that the two idiots opposing him are capable of telling the truth.
@AbbeyRhode Yeah. I believe real seekers of truth find it. They need to wise up! 🙂

Yep Harris told another whopper . I wonder why Pence didn’t ask her why ( since she believed all the sexual assault allegations against Biden) she agreed to be Biden’s VP
4meAndyou · F
@TexChik Good point. But Biden is a huge racist, so he probably won't want to sniff her hair...🤣. JK. He would...he really would...🤣.
TexChik · F
And she ignores that Ginsberg told Obama to put his nomination in at the end of his lame duck term. And a Republican senate opted to wait to see if Trump won .
4meAndyou · F
@TexChik For now. We have serious problems in at least 4 states. Our people need to rally.
TexChik · F
@4meAndyou according to the media . The libs have serious problems in several states , and fake mail in votes is their answer
4meAndyou · F
@TexChik Although that is true, (one Mayor is now in jail for ordering 85 ballots for himself), the races are far too tight, and in Maine, we might lose a seat for sure. McSally is being threatened by a former astronaut.

And I never want to see any of Trump’s cult calling out Snopes for its “bias” ever again.

Sadly you’re just pulling hairs here

Surely you know the difference in character from Harris and who she is to Pence and whatever he is ?

Lol it’s pretty obvious she meant well.
4meAndyou · F
@SW-User The expression in the USA is "splitting hairs". Nope. Not splitting hairs. This is an exact quote:

“In 1864 … Abraham Lincoln was up for reelection. And it was 27 days before the election. And a seat became open on the United States Supreme Court. Abraham Lincoln’s party was in charge not only of the White House but the Senate. But Honest Abe said, ‘It’s not the right thing to do. The American people deserve to make the decision about who will be the next president of the United States, and then that person will be able to select who will serve on the highest court of the land.”

@Stereoguy That is the very sad truth.

I don't think she was actually attempting to quote him, just retroactively implying an intent. Which is egregious in it's own right.

That said, it isn't anything the GOP and Mitch McConnell tried during Obama.

All right...you say she misquoted out of ignorance? Ignorance is not something we normally see in a former Prosecutor and DA. But former prosecutors are somewhat known for twisting the truth in order to win for the State. I think that's what she was doing. Just my own interpretation of her thoughts and thought process...🤣
MethDozer · M
@4meAndyou Her being a former prosecutor is kinda why I don't thickness was actually attempting to quote him as opposed to what I said. Prosecutors often believe they know what someone is or was thinking when they made a choice. Or at least pretend to.
Prosecutors being less than honest we definitely agree on. To be frank her being prosecutor, or anyone being a prosecutor, is a check against them seeking office. Don't think anyone like me actually likes this chick. It's ironic though that "law and order" conservatives now want to hold her former position against her though since cutthroat prosecutors are usually their jam.
Just like when a parent or authority figure says " I told you not to do that but, you said I'm going to do it anyway" to a misbehave child. They aren't actually quoting them.
4meAndyou · F
@MethDozer Agreed. She's sly and sneaky, and no one likes her, but if Biden is elected Nancy Pee is already setting up the machinery to take Biden down, pretending she's doing it to Trump.
