Kamala Harris, former DA of San Francisco and current US senator, is running for President on the Democratic ticket. Back when she was a DA, Harris had an affinity for prosecuting and jailing the parents of truant children, something that she took great joy in, as this video of her speaking about it attests:

Watch the video and you will see someone completely convinced of their rationalization for abuse of power.  The greatest evil in the world comes from people who are able to rationalize that evil as some sort of moral crusade. What’s more fascinating, though, is her body language. Her facial expressions, her slimy glee in discussing the topic of incarcerating the parents of poor families, is indicative of someone completely possessed, and intoxicated by, power. The power to hurt others, to intimidate, to threaten, scare, and then sic the armed enforcers of the state on anyone she wishes. Except, of course, people who aren’t poor, because they can hire a lawyer and fight back.

Here’s a recent Jimmy Dore Show episode focused on Kamala’s sleaziness, and her penchant for avoiding “paper cases”, which refers to attempting to prosecute people who have the money to fight her wickedness:

The smear campaign currently ramping up against Tulsi Gabbard mirrors almost exactly that of the one against Trump, with baseless accusations of anti-Semitism, being a puppet of Putin and Syria’s Assad, supporter of terrorism, etc. For a representative taste of this attitude, see New York Time’s Bari Weiss on Joe Rogan. Weiss here appears extremely inarticulate, uninformed, and vicious, as she fails to defend her claim that Tulsi Gabbard is “monsterous”, and is the “motherlode of bad ideas”:

Weiss’ flustered attitude to Rogan’s polite, soft-ball questioning of her claims that Tulsi is monsterous is evidence of the bubble that these propaganda churners live in. Weiss in all probability has never been challenged to her face for any of her positions. As Jimmy Dore says, mockingly, : “When I go back to the New York Times I just say ‘Assad Toadie’ and everyone pats me on the head!” The elite propagandists that have been pushing endless war for the past two decades live in this same bubble. They have access to the mainstream media outlets, and even these outlets have been peppering their staff with “ex” intelligence analysts, sure to give the respectable sheen to any military action abroad.
