The last time they went after a NYC police commissioner was Bernard Kerik who was Commish under Fooliani.

The borough of Queens and partly Staten Island put him over the top. He was elected in the year they did proportional voting or something. That made it so that if you voted for a competent person like Maya Wiley you ended up voting for Curtis Sliwa.

When a NYC mayor doesn't speak at the National Convention of his party you know something is wrong.

Maybe the smartest thing Kamala could do is announce that, if she wins, she will pardon Trump.. that would remove some of the motivation his supporters have today, to keep him out of jail! as a side-benefit, she could also quietly pardon Hunter, else there will be backlash!

If Biden did not pardon Mr Delay, what make you think Harris would do it?

Many of the charges are state charges, and Harris can't pardon those.

Also, what is the math? How many Trump fanatics you get Vs how many of your own people you lose, because you pardoned an obvious criminal?

@KamalaHarris
took a break from debate prep and visited Penzeys Spices in Pittsburgh on Saturday. When she entered the store, the vice president greeted a woman who appeared near tears as they hugged.
Harris assured her that things would work out. “We’re all in this together,” she said.

I buy spices from Penzeys. The company has always had a firm pro-democracy stance and this was a very good choice by the Vice President's staff.

This is a longer clip but the person posting obviously knows nothing about Penzeys.

Friends, I think you guys need to watch this longer video. It’s really heartwarming, but leads to an important moment at the 8:23 mark—she talks about the impact of Cheney’s endorsement, and then this!

When asked by a reporter about debating Trump: “What’s the one thing you really want to get across to him?”

“Look, it’s time to turn the page on the divisiveness. It’s time to bring our country together and chart a new way forward.”

Kamala Harris at a spice shop in Pittsburgh a short time ago.

You have to laugh.
This guy has been elected for something somewhere, right?

I am not saying she should..just that it might sway a few marginal Republicans who don't want to see Trump go to jail...this election is about a bit more than getting to be President..

The fanatics are going to vote for Trump anyway .this is for the marginal few who shrink at the thought of a former President going to jail. Yes, I know the Nixon pardon cost Ford, but I dont think Ford was going to win anyway..Kamala could just say she will consider it. After she wins, the game is over anyway, and the state level charges, like Georgia will be there anyway

Of course the good thing about that sword hanging over Trump's head is that he will get desperate and say and do crazy things, which will Help kamala .
