Chameleon Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chameleon)
The emperor taught us that if you run a campaign on ill defined hopey changy then you can be defined by other's aspirations and expectations .
Matthew Kaminsky of Politico says
The old rule that the pol picks up important debts to certain constituencies and VIPs on their rise doesn’t apply the same way to her. This is one of the most unusual features of the Harris ascendance and for now gives her unique advantages.
Coming out of the convention in Chicago, Harris has built as wide a coalition as any Democratic nominee in memory. Everyone there claimed her as their own, with arguably the exception of President Joe Biden’s family and a few of his staffers. The manner of her ascent — the replacement of the octogenarian incumbent, the lack of a primary, the single-minded obsession with beating former President Donald Trump, the coming together of Democratic powers around her candidacy in barely 48 hours last month — means that no one can claim to have brought her this far.
What does it mean to owe few explicit debts? You can design a convention, like the one in Chicago, with little of the identity politics or Gaza passions that tore up your side for years. You can stay ambiguous on policy prescriptions when you want to — no one’s in any position to deny her a check or an endorsement in exchange for a promise to adopt this or cancel that. You can tack as you wish: hence the new centrist, strong-on-crime, strong-on-defense, strong-on-business Harris who, before this summer, didn’t present any of those attributes strongly to the nation.
Most magically of all: You somehow come across looking like the newcomer.
Kamala Harris’ Secret Power: She Is Whatever You Want Her to Be - POLITICO (https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/08/31/kamala-harris-policy-void-00176659)
In well over a month since he imaculation she has done nothing to clarify ;and that includes the single sit down interview she had with the compliant press.
It apparently is a successful playbook ....... maybe.
The party is so relieved to get a candidate who has a hope to win this race that no one inside the camp seems to mind that she is hard to pin down.
This formula has worked for her in the past and I expect it could again .
“all but went into a bunker for about a year, avoiding many interviews out of what aides said was a fear of making mistakes and disappointing Mr. Biden.”

I can almost see why public service unions support them . Their jobs rely on taxpayer funding. But it is baffling that private sector unions support the Dems .
Yeah union leadership if for them . Rank and file members know better .
They know lost jobs are not being replaced . They know that Biden-flation is making it harder for them to survive even if they have been lucky enough to keep their jobs.

She considered running against Trump for President this year ;and said she would have an impact. Saying she will vote for Kam the Sham is hardly earth shattering .

for starters law enforcement should do it's job.
As noted here
Clueless Joe's gun control speech (askmehelpdesk.com) (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/current-events/clueless-joes-gun-control-speech-851972.html)
The FBI had pin pointed the home and the computer where threats originated . They passed that info to the Sheriff who had interviews with the shooter and his father .
The father ;who should be charged with accessory to murder among the charges he was arrested for yesterday . Told the Sheriff that he had hunting rifles in his home BUT the kid did not have access .
Then the idiot buys his son a rifle as a gift knowing the the kid was making threats .
,
CBS News has learned that police and federal agents are investigating if the suspect received the weapon as a gift from his father, Colin Gray, in December 2023, according to four federal law enforcement sources close to the investigation. That would have been about seven months after law enforcement officers talked to the teen and his father in an investigation of online school shooting threats.
Where the suspected Georgia school shooter got the gun, and more questions answered - CBS News (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/georgia-school-shooting-gun/)
As my previous posting points out ;in almost every mass shooting event recently the FBI was forewarned.
The conspiracy minded would ask did they allow them to happen because it advances a political agenda about gun ownership ? Nah the Feds would never allow guns to intentionally get into the wrong hands .</sarc>

Trump and especially Vance.Then your definition of weird must be substantially different than mine. I would think that anyone committed to voting for a candidate who, "wants to recreate America in the image of what's happening in the streets of Portland and Seattle," and had vowed to not, "give her the chance," is about as weird as it gets.
As to shootings and killings, it should be noted that the rate of gun homicides is still lower than in 68. It had fallen considerably for a number of years before beginning to rise again over the last eight years. So perhaps we should be asking why it has jumped over the past decade or so.

This is Vance type of weird . He raised himself up from coming from a dysfunctional family with a drug addict mom ;a father that abandoned them . He was raised by his grandmother . Still he became an Ivy League graduate ;a best selling author ;and a Senator. That was weird in that it is exceptionally rare but it is the essence of the American dream to pull oneself up and achieve despite the cards he was dealt.
Walz had an upbringing that is straight out of Norman Rockwell. His father was a teacher His mother was as stay at home mom raising the children . Hundreds of Americans rose up the ladder of life with a similar background But he ended up lying about his military service and supporting a law that brought Tampons into boys locker rooms . That is weird .

Kam the Sham is either a radical lefty or a shape shifting chameleon .Currently she is trying to have it both ways depending on her audience. The most laugh out loud stance she takes is that she is a change candidate despite the fact that she has been second in command for 3 1/2 years .
Harris Promises to Chart ‘New Way Forward’ as She Accepts Nomination - The New York Times (nytimes.com) (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/22/us/politics/kamala-harris-dnc-speech.html)
I don't know if or when the compiant press will take her to task as she has so far been successful in playing run out the clock defense. Maybe the debate will force her hand .
James Carville in the NY Slimes wrote an op-ed about this while offering an out for her.
He says she must win the debate . Not an easy task against Trump. She is already hedging her bet . She tried to change the rules in the middle of the game as Dems are wont to do.
Kamala Harris accepts muted mic rule in upcoming debate with Donald Trump after initial pushback (nypost.com) (https://nypost.com/2024/09/04/us-news/kamala-accepts-muted-mic-rule-in-upcoming-debate-with-donald-trump-after-initial-pushback/)
Carville's second advice is that she break from Clueless Joe's policies .
To be the certified fresh candidate, Ms. Harris must clearly and decisively break from Mr. Biden on a set of policy priorities she believes would define her presidency.Here’s an idea: Do it one day in a swing state, just a hair after the debate. Hold a rally. Put out a broad list of “new way forward” policies that detail why she is breaking from the sitting president on the given issues and what change would deliver to the American people. And after that rally, do a news conference on it, so media organizations stop cranking their clamshells about a lack of access. Don’t run from your differences with the president. Embrace them, respectfully and honestly.For Ms. Harris to break from Mr. Biden more explicitly than she has done so far would not be an insult to his legacy, just as Mr. Biden’s objectively more progressive policy agenda was not an insult to Mr. Obama’s. Rather, it shows even more sharply that she is passionate about her own ideas and represents change rather than more of the same.
First it is debatable that Joe broke from the emperor at all. The emperor was the hopey changey guy who also did not really define who he was. His policies were radical . All Joe did was double down on them. Kam will double down again .She just won't say so.
Her attempts to pivot are transparent . An honest media would be all over it. Carville says he way out is to say (like the emperor would say ) that she her positions have "evolved " and that she has learned on the job."The retort can be simple: I learned from my time governing in the White House. These are my positions. Take it or leave it."
The Dems never let us "leave it" We have no choice to take it where the sun don't shine.

Bolshevik Bernie on 'Meet the Press ' confirmed yesterday that Kam the Sham has intentionally toned down her radical lefty rhetoric as a campaign ploy to appeal to the middle.
KRISTEN WELKER: You have described Vice President Kamala Harris as a progressive. She has previously supported Medicare for all. Now, she does not. She's previously supported a ban on fracking, now she does not. These, Senator, are ideas that you have campaigned on. Do you think that she is abandoning her progressive ideals?
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: No, I don't think she's abandoning her ideals. I think she's trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election. My own view is slightly different. I think that in America today there are a lot of people, rural people, working class people, who no longer believe that the United States Congress and government represents their interests, too dominated by big-money interest.
So I think that there is something wrong, personally, when we are the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all of our people, despite spending twice as much per capita. That is why I support Medicare for all. She does not.
She has another approach toward moving toward universal health care. But again, I think on issues like expanding Medicare by expanding social security and lifting the cap on taxable income that the rich put in so we can raise social security benefits, the need to raise the minimum wage from a starvation $7.25 minimum wage to a living wage, I think if you campaign on those issues, raising taxes on billionaires, you know what? She's going to win. And I think she could win big.
KRISTEN WELKER: Well, let me just ask you, then, big picture. Do you still consider Vice President Kamala Harris to be progressive, Senator?
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: I do. Look, she is not where I am. But I think, for example, when she talks about making the child tax credit permanent, and you know we did that in the American Rescue Plan. We lowered childhood poverty by 40%. Kristen, we should not have, as the richest country on earth, one of the highest rates in childhood poverty in the world.
When she talks about building 3 million units of affordable housing, that's a big deal because we have a major housing crisis in America. When she talks about passing the PEARL Act to make it easier for workers to join unions, that's a big deal because we have to expand the union movement so that workers get decent wages. So yeah, her views are not mine, but I do consider her progressive.

In doing these flip flops she has weakened her arguments against Trump
Here are some examples
Fracking . "My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate"
If that is so then why the reversal when she declared in 2020 definitively that she wanted it banned ?
Border 2020 she wanted to decriminalize border crossing .She pledged to defund ICE She also said her health care plans would cover illegals including so called transition surgery.
Now she claims to be tough on the border ."We have laws that have to be followed and enforced, that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally. And there should be consequences." She also say that she was tough on border issues as a California prosecutor.
So what is the truth ?

And she will cut red tape to make sure we build more housing faster and penalize firms that hoard available homes to drive up prices for local homebuyers.

The debate did not move the needle. Independents watching it gave Trump high marks for the economy/inflation (which Kam punted on) ,the border,energy ,and foreign policy . Kam has 2 problems . She is wed to the Clueless Joe record the last 3 1/2 years She is also wed to her past positions that are diametrically opposed to the ones she put in her policy page of her campaign web site.
Hint to Kam ;nobody buys into democracy at threat or project 2025
You know she's in trouble when she brought Clueless Joe on the campaign trail last week .

Trump said
“Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window. She’s going to my philosophy now. In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat”
Even Clueless Joe has gone MAGA

Wasn't he coached before the debate??? I hope he watches a video of that debate and hears how ridiculous his comments were (immigrants eating dogs and cats???)
The real issue in Springfield is the influx of illegal immigrants that have invaded the town. Springfield is a town of 60,000 people, according to the 2020 Census, and since then an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 illegals have settled there. It has strained healthcare services and schoolsThe number of car accidents has skyrocketed.Violent crime went up . It now has a crime rate 310 % higher than average in Ohio

That would have been a good point for Trump to have made, but as is his custom, he passed on a sensible comment in order to point out that illegals are eating pets.

What??? Surely you jest! Meaningful interviews??? As for the debate, tRump lied 33 times vs. Harris's one lie.

What??? Surely you jest! Meaningful interviews???I am not jesting, and don't call me Shirley! At any rate, at last count, Harris has had ONE interview with the media since the DNC, and even then insisted on having Walz along with her. In that same time span, Trump has conducted more than 30.
As to "misstatements" by Harris, I found these.
This one was a whopper on a enormous scale. Harris falsely claimed that “Trump left us the worst unemployment since the Great Depression.” When President Joe Biden and Harris took office in January 2021, the unemployment rate was 6.4% — lower than it was during several administrations since the 1930s when at times it well exceeded 20%. That was a pretty big miss.
There was this as well.
Harris claimed Trump intends to enact what in effect is a “sales tax” which she said economists estimate would raise prices on typical American families by almost $4,000 a year. That’s a high-end estimate from a liberal think tank about Trump’s plan for “universal baseline tariffs” on imports.
Another whopper. Harris repeated the assertion that Trump “will sign a national abortion ban” if reelected, but Trump said that he does not intend to sign such a ban and has never said he would. Even worse, she should know that the recent SCOTUS decision on abortion would make such a proposal DOA.
Harris claimed that Trump’s tax proposal would “provide a tax cut for billionaires and big corporations, which will result in $5 trillion to America’s deficit.” That’s the estimated 10-year cost of extending all the tax cuts in Trump’s 2017 tax law, but those tax changes benefited people of all income groups.
And then there was this.
Harris claimed that Trump “wants to be a dictator on Day 1,” but the former president has said that he was joking when he said he would be a dictator for one day. It's hard to imagine any thinking person believing nonsense like that.
Uhm...that's more than just one. It's also my understanding that Harris said Trump supported ending access to contraceptives, but I could not verify that. If she said that, then it's an absurd lie.

From above
I can almost see why public service unions support them . Their jobs rely on taxpayer funding. But it is baffling that private sector unions support the Dems .
The teamsters conducted a straw poll of the rank and file . It was conducted when Clueless Joe was still running .It was held in person in union halls where union leadership could influence the vote. The vote was Joe 44.3 percent ...Trump’s 36.3 percent.
Then Joe dropped out so they conducted another virtual poll of rank and file . The results heavily contradicted the original poll. This poll went heavily for Trump. Conducted between July 24 and September 15, members voted 59.6 percent for Trump and only 34 percent for Kam the Sham.
That did not sit well so they called on progressive pollster Lake Research Partners to conduct a phone survey Sept 15. That survey found 59.6 percent of members for Trump and 31 percent for Kam.
Teamsters Release Presidential Endorsement Polling Data - International Brotherhood of Teamsters (https://teamster.org/2024/09/teamsters-release-presidential-endorsement-polling-data/)
What to do ? The Teamsters have supported the Dem candidate for over 20 years.
Leadership met yesterday and decided that despite overwheming rank and file support for Trump ;the union would not make an endorsement .
What more proof do you need that union leadership is just another arm of the Democrat party ?
“Unfortunately, neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters President Sean O’Brien said in a statement. “We sought commitments from both Trump and Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries – and to honor our members’ right to strike – but were unable to secure those pledges.”

Hey dope !!!! Joe-Kam killed union jobs in pursuit of the green new steal. Isn't having union jobs sorta important ?
It is important to note that Kam the Sham had an emergency meeting with the Teamsters Monday and she failed to convince them to endorse her.
KJP speaking for the administration said
"I'm not going to speak to the rank and file".

Kam the Sham went on Oprah Winfrey's fake town hall . She refused to answer for the 100th time what she would do to fix the economy and the cost of living .
When asked ;the word salad overflowed
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Yeah. I — first of all, thank you both for being here. And yours is a — a story I hear around the country as I travel, and in terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for your family and working hard and finding that the American dream is, for this generation and so many recently, far more elusive than it’s been. And we need to deal with that, and there are a number of ways.
One is bringing down the cost of everyday necessities, including groceries. So, that’s why I’m taking on, for example, price gouging, which is when — you know, most companies and corporations are good, but for those bad ones, they take advantage of people, especially during a pandemic or extreme weather, and they end up jacking up prices. And there needs to be accountability and consequence for that. So, I’m going to be taking on price gouging.
But it’s also about dealing with what we need to do around homeownership, right? So, as someone mentioned during this — this film — look, I grew up a child of a mother who worked very hard. She raised me and my sister. And she saved up, and by the time I was a teenager, she was able to buy a home.
And we grew up, actually, for a long time, in an apartment on top of a childcare center that was owned by the woman we called our second mother, because she helped my mother raise us, and she was a small business owner: Ms. Shelton.
So, I’ll bring all this together to tell you: The way I think about it is, one, when people work hard and have a dream of buying a home, we should give you the opportunity to be able to do that, which is why part of my plan is for first-time homeowners — -buyers to have a $25,000 down payment assistance to buy your first home. Because people just need — (applause) — to be able to get their foot in the door, and then you’ll do the hard work.
Part of my plan is what we need to do to support small businesses, because my second mother was a small-business owner. And I love our small businesses and our small-business owners. They are not only business leaders, they are community leaders. They — they mentor; they hire locally. And we have so many entrepreneurs in our country who have great ideas, incredible work ethic, but not necessarily access to capital, because not everybody, like my opponent, was handed $400 million on a silver plate that he filed bankruptcy six times on. (Laughter.)
And so, part of my plan is to give start-up small businesses a $50,000 tax deduction to start up their small business. Right now, it’s $5,000. Nobody can start a small business with $5,000. So, that’s part of my plan.

Politician speak. "part of my plan is for first-time homeowners — -buyers to have a $25,000 down payment assistance to buy your first home."
Reality. Part of my plan is to force other Americans to pony up many billions of dollars so I can promise hundreds of thousands of potential democrat voters a 25 thousand dollar bribe to vote for me. And in case the taxpayers are worried about this, we will simply borrow the money so we pathetic excuses for leaders can just continue to kick the can down the road for future generations to have to suffer with. So everyone laugh with me about that. Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah!! (think donkey braying to get the best impression)

Evita says that Kam doesn't have to talk policy . AND asking her to do so is a sexist double standard .
SWISHER: Undecided voters want more policy details from her. Trump was hardly bursting with policy ideas. He said he had a concept of a plan for healthcare. And of course, they don’t want any from him, which is interesting. Does she have to do it? Because it seems like sometimes it’s like she lands the plane, and they are like, ‘Well, we’d like you to try it again’–
CLINTON: She does not have to do it, Kara. I’m going to just cut to the chase. In fact, she’s put out policies on her campaign website. Anybody who’s truly interested can go and read about them. She referenced policies. She actually doesn’t just have policies and concepts, she has, you know, plans about what to do. I think it’s a, you know, it’s a double standard. And it’s a double standard that is partly because they are still getting to know her. But also because they’re still grappling with the idea, like, ‘Oh, am I really going to vote for a woman to be president and commander in chief? I mean, I really, really have to think about this. Well, maybe I need to know more. I don’t want to make a mistake.’

It's what I've been thinking all along. How dare the honest and professional reporters ask poor wittle Kamala policy questions!! Don't they realize that she's only had three and a half years to consider all of this? And bear in mind that in that time she was feverishly busy with her responsibilities as border czar. They should cut the little lady some slack. After all, she's only a woman!!

Kam got stumped during a fluff and stuff interview with Stephanie Ruhle of MSNBC when she was asked how her polices would be paid for if Repubs take the Senate.
After a long pause she started word salad comments about "fair share ".
“Well, but we’re going to have to raise corporate taxes . We’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share,” .... “That’s just it. It’s about paying their fair share.”....."I'm not mad at anybody for being rich, but they should pay their fair share," .....“I have spent a lot of time with CEOs. And I’m going to tell you that the business leaders who are actually part of the engine of America’s economy agree that people should pay their fair share."

So Kam the Sham says she has a gun and she knows how to use it. She said it during the debate and again on Oprah where she said she would shoot an intruder .
So the logical question is 'what type of gun does she own' ? Everyone is evasive when asked . KJP says to circle back to Kam's staffers who are equally unresponsive.
That leave us to speculate . My first quess I say no way . She is against ARs so there is no way she would by a hypocrite and own an AR-15 pistol Right ? </sarc>
So it has to be either
