The New York Times endorses Harris for President

To ther surprise on no one on the left, the New York Times has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

Here’s the link.

From the endorsement:

It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks.

Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of the president: his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest in policy and his increasingly bizarre cast of associates.

This unequivocal, dispiriting truth — Donald Trump is not fit to be president — should be enough for any voter who cares about the health of our country and the stability of our democracy to deny him re-election.

For this reason, regardless of any political disagreements voters might have with her, Kamala Harris is the only patriotic choice for president.

….

As a dedicated public servant who has demonstrated care, competence and an unwavering commitment to the Constitution, Ms. Harris stands alone in this race. She may not be the perfect candidate for every voter, especially those who are frustrated and angry about our government’s failures to fix what’s broken — from our immigration system to public schools to housing costs to gun violence. Yet we urge Americans to contrast Ms. Harris’s record with her opponent’s.

….

While character is enormously important — in this election, pre-eminently so — policies matter. Many Americans remain deeply concerned about their prospects and their children’s in an unstable and unforgiving world. For them, Ms. Harris is clearly the better choice. She has committed to using the power of her office to help Americans better afford the things they need, to make it easier to own a home, to support small businesses and to help workers. Mr. Trump’s economic priorities are more tax cuts, which would benefit mostly the wealthy, and more tariffs, which will make prices even more unmanageable for the poor and middle class.

….

In 2020 this board made the strongest case it could against the re-election of Mr. Trump. Four years later, many Americans have put his excesses out of their minds. We urge them and those who may look back at that period with nostalgia or feel that their lives are not much better now than they were three years ago to recognize that his first term was a warning and that a second Trump term would be much more damaging and divisive than the first.

Kamala Harris is the only choice.

  1. Blue Techker naturally like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.

  2. Hey. Good news: Vern got a new car: a used Chevy Spark, $4,000.

    Unfortunately, he can still KILL children in Disney’s Mickey and Friends (I know ironic right, Cynthia Ward) garage.

    How do SIX people coexist in a 600SQFT apartment?

    I guess Tom Tait, cut him off faster than a bartender at the Juke Joint (where he pays as he goes).

  3. LOL. Remember when Diamond bragged he gave away his 10 year old Prius who he got:
    “From an influential OC Democrat, who won’t be named” as if his hand me down car, which is worth less than a teenager at McDonalds makes in a year is valuable because some unnamed loser gave Diamond a car.

    Greg’s self importance universe is limited to a narcissistic Irvine lawyer, a drunk blogger, a disgraced finger painter and a guy who apparently lives in Georgia but feels compelled to write about Orange County politics.

    Sad life, but hey the Spark gets 44 miles to the gallon, which means he has more for Vodka

    • Says the loser who hides behind a pseudonym. Low self worth or poor reputation or both. Lowly little coward.

    • So Vern commented on your comment. I don’t monitor Donna’s social media. He brags about breaking the Dave Min story without saying all he did was run the press release. I have Baugh’s social media post and a photo of when Levin found out he won (still no press release). Mike and I had a bet on the Syracuse Stanford game ( he won); bet Vern doesn’t know Mike is a former client of mine and an old friend. Vern criticizes me for running press releases when he did the same thing. Beat you on the Lee Fink story Vern. But I’ve more or less stopped going to your Google ad dominant site where posts are not easy to read. I understand that’s how you make most of your money, but I’d rather pay more for Netflix than less for the ad supported version. Just how much square feet is your apartment anyway?

      • Almost forgot, Vern penned that lovely article on why Joanna Weiss was the best candidate for Congress in CA47 for the OC Register so forgive me if I find he has joy in Min’s win. Pretty sure Min will always get back to me on stories. Vern….not so much

        • I was trying to post before a client call. I’ll go back and review. Thank you for reading. I caught a few goobers and fixed them
