Biden Picks Kamala Harris As VP
The two most important consequences of this decision come from the fact
that Biden is old and almost certainly senile. This means that Harris
stands a good chance of becoming President if Biden dies or his incapacity
becomes un-concealeable even with the best drug cocktails. If that doesn’t
happen, Kamala is odds on to be […]
Kamala Harris has been a servant of the court system in California.
