SAN FRANCISCO

It’s a proud night in San Francisco.
Oakland native, San Francisco District Attorney, California Attorney General, Vice President and now officially the Democrats’ presidential candidate possesses a big smile and contagious laugh.
Make no mistake this veteran prosecutor is all business when it comes to convicted Felon, sexual abuser, bankrupt businessman and pathological liar Donald Trump.
Kamala Harris told the world that she intends to expose the real Trump and win the election November 5th.
Liz and I had a watch party for two in our San Francisco Richmond District neighborhood. The streets were uncommonly quiet this evening as our neighbors wanted to view this historic moment. An Oakland/San Francisco native sister stepping onto the stage in Chicago to introduce herself to the world.
Excerpt from The New York Times 8.22.2024
Vice President Kamala Harris ceremonially accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for president on Thursday night in a speech that alternated between calls for unity and stinging rebukes of former President Donald J. Trump as an “unserious man” whose return to the White House could have devastating consequences for the United States.
“With this election, our nation has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism, and divisive battles of the past,” she said, casting herself as someone who can bring a deeply divided country together.
Like a prosecutor making a closing argument, Ms. Harris denounced Mr. Trump point by point, repeatedly accusing him of preparing to systematically erode the democratic values of the country if he returns to the White House.
“Consider what he intends to do if we give him power again,” she said, her voice rising. “Consider his explicit intent to set free violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers at the Capitol. His explicit intent to jail journalists, political opponents, and anyone he sees as the enemy. His explicit intent to deploy our active duty military against our own citizens.”
“Just imagine,” she said, “Donald Trump with no guardrails.”
