    CLAIM: Kamala Harris “put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.”
    VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. It was closer to 2,000.


    During the second night of the second Democratic Party presidential primary debate on Wednesday, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) attacked Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) over her record as a prosecutor in San Francisco and California as a whole.

    Harris has been criticized by the left for her record as a prosecutor, and the criticisms go back even longer. The late Jeff Adachi, who taught Harris at the University of California’s Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, said that he had been “disappointed” that she had not chosen a more “progressive” path.

    Sadly pot head Harris jailed 2000 Americans for pot.

    Many have criticized her for this, including Biden and Tulsi Gabbard.

    How will "woke" democrats respond to this news?

    I think Gabbard ended Kamalas shot at 2020.

    I think she permanently crippled Harris and propelled herself into contention for the VP spot. I would never vote for her but she has some qualities I appreciate and she compliments Biden very well.

    You'd have to be an idiot to prefer Harris over Gabbard anyway

    That was something Ben Shapiro discussed, that basically Kamalla is toast now and in large part because Gabbard brought Kamalla to her knees - not the first time she's been in that position, but possibly the first time a woman has brought her there. The link is HERE if you wanted to read it.

    California is doing the most it can to influence the election.

    California Removes Arrest Reports From Kamala Years
    A redesign of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation website will make it harder for voters to inspect Sen. Kamala Harris's controversial record as the state's top cop.
    .......................
    The changes matter in part because the reports contain information about Harris's entire time as state A.G., 2011 to 2017. Harris has taken fire from multiple opponents for her "tough on crime" record as California's top cop, an image that she has tried to shed as a far-left senator and presidential candidate.

    How does a prosecutor keep people in jail? They don’t determine sentence

    Sensible Democrats will vote for Trump.

    First post-debate poll: Almost no change for anyone — except Harris


    [​IMG]

    Decline.


    Tulsi served under fire in this nation's uniform, she, without even exerting herself turned Kamala into dog crap.

    The Harris/Gabbard debate exchange on Wednesday is to 2020 what the Rubio/Christie debate exchange was to 2016.

    It wasn’t so much Christie who nuked Rubio, really, as Rubio who nuked Rubio. Christie called him out for using canned talking points — and Rubio walked right into the attack by reverting again to canned talking points, basically self-sabotage.

    The Gabbard/Harris exchange, by contrast, was a true attack. Tulsi filleted her.

    Maybe it’s time for Kamala to take a hike.

    Post-debate Morning Consult Dem WH poll (conducted 8/1)

    Biden 32%
    Sanders 18%
    Warren 15%
    Harris 10%
    Buttigieg 6%
    Booker 3%
    O'Rourke 3%
    Yang 2%

    She really took a hit. The more people look into Kamala, the worse she will do.

    Not if California can help it.

    California Shitcans Controversial Kamala Harris-Era Arrest Reports
    [​IMG]
    A 'routine website redesign'...

    The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has scrubbed arrest records from Sen. Kamala Harris's controversial tenure as the state's top law enforcement official, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

    The purge removed public access to several key incarceration reports.

    Twice a year, the CDCR releases information about the number of new individuals incarcerated in the California prison system as part of its "Offender Data Points" series. These reports provide important information on demographics, sentence length, offense type, and other figures relevant to criminal justice and incarceration.​

    Until recently, these reports were publicly available at the CDCR's website. A search using archive.org's Wayback Machine reveals that as of April 25, 2019—the most recent indexed date—ODP reports were available dating back to the spring of 2009. As of August 2019, the same web page now serves only a single ODP report, the one for Spring 2019. The pre-2019 reports have been removed. -Washington Free Beacon

    During the Democratic debates on Wednesday night, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) excoriated Harris's record as California Attorney General, rattling off a laundry list of 'inconvenient' facts - such as the 1,500-plus Californians Harris sent to prison for marijuana-related offenses, blocking evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until forced to do so by the courts, and using prison inmates as cheap labor.



    Harris did not refute any of Gabbard's statements.

    The now-scrubbed records were used by the Free Beacon in prior reporting - "specifically the finding that more than 120,000 black and Latino Californians were sent to prison while she was in the State A.G.'s office."

    "Fact Check: Kamala Harris Didn’t Send 1,500 to Jail for Pot. It was 2,000"

    yes, America's drug laws are bad, as a prosecutor she enforced the laws as do cops that arrested these people

    time to end the war on drugs

    Harris can't refute Gabbards statements-thats why she looked so angry.

    However, we must never forget the 100,000+ minorities that she gladly put in jail.

    That's exactly it. You want a VP who is a little bit at odds with the President, not adverserial, but with a different perspective of things.

    Or her giggle at the thought of all those black men she jailed on pot charges, only to go home and hit the bong.

    I agree . Full disclosure - I am a Tulsi fan - but I do strive for objectivity and I think that most on the Blue side would view Tulsi vs Kamala as a crushing defeat for Kamala. (The Red side is more apt to go with some - you do the crime you do the time - argument - but they are not voting for Kamala so it matters not)

    Myself I view this as a Rule of Law issue - in particular "The Punishment should fit the crime" and perhaps "equal Justice under the law".

    I don't blame Kamala for prosecuting these cases because this is the job of a Prosecutor. What is also the job of the prosecutor is to recommend punishment for the crime - and this is where I take issue. It is one thing issue a ticket for a parking violation - it is quite another to put someone in jail for that violation.

    Why would she recommend jail time - when she was not required to as a prosecutor - for such a low level offense ?. This is an abuse of state power and a waste of state resources. It is also an affront to the founding principles but , even within a strictly legal framework it is an affront to the principles of Justice.
