She was more than a traitor.
She was one of dozens of angry and threatening insurrectionists attempting to breach the Capitol perimeter in the same place and was killed by somebody tasked with protecting it from America's enemies.
What's your objection to using the word deserved in such a context? Is it your opinion that nobody deserves to be shot and killed in such a setting?
It happens frequently in home invasions, armed holdups, and roadside traffic cop stops when a driver credibly threatens the cop's life. Somebody threatens the life of the homeowner, shopkeeper, or cop, gets killed, and after an investigation to be certain that things were as they appeared to be, the death is called justified. Maybe you like that word better than deserved.
I have zero empathy for all antisocial people. If you attack society, you justifiably become a target and deserving of retribution, which might be as mild as a night in jail and a suspended driving license for drunk driving or as definitive and final as a fatal bullet to the head or chest for reaching for your holster. My advice: don't do things like that, and if you do, don't be surprised when you are resisted with deadly force.
Sure, once he resigned. It's not like they weren't going to run any candidate at all.

I found that NPR link to be confusing. Did they actually correct Harris on anything? For example:
HARRIS: “There is not one member of the military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world for the first time this century.”
This is a common administration talking point, and it's technically true. But thousands of troops in Iraq and on the Syrian border are still in very dangerous terrain. U.S. troops died in Jordan in January on a base that keeps watch over the war with ISIS in Syria.
So she spoke the truth, yes? They fact-checked her and found that she stated something that was "technically true?"

HARRIS: “There is not one member of the military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world for the first time this century.”
"This is false.
While Congress hasn’t formally declared a war in decades, American troops are certainly in combat zones around the world.
They’re serving in places like Iraq and Syria, where they work with local troops to fight terrorist networks. And they also conduct missions in both places — we saw that late last month in Iraq’s Anbar province, where an operation killed 15 Islamic State fighters and two U.S. soldiers were medevaced for injuries (and five more were injured). And a drone attack in Syria last month injured eight U.S. service members.
U.S. troops are also in Somalia and other parts of Africa, where they support local troops fighting terrorist groups, and they’ve been shooting down Houthi drones and missiles in the Red Sea."
Fact-checking the presidential debate between Harris and Trump
From conspiracy theories to flubbed facts, here's where the candidates erred Tuesday night.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
Just wanted to point put that the dead goose photo is from Columbus, Ohio and may
Oh I think we can manage if we cut out some foreign aid.
You put it more bluntly than I would, but I agree in principle. I hate seeing people doing stupid, risky things, and suffering the inevitable consequences, but I won't go so far as to lay blame on others they involve against their will, who might well be the source of those consequences. Ashli Babbitt, unfortunately, suffered the consequences of her actions -- but nobody is to blame but her.
Roe v Wade said "before viability" which has moved due to improvements in medicine.
Are you asserting that women should always make different decisions from men when it comes to making decisions of war and peace?
Nothing burger irrelevant unimportant point.
How many times has Trump displayed his growing dementia in public in the last 6 months?
So what should they pay? Be specific. What percentage of the tax revenue should come from the top 10% earners. “I don’t know” is not an answer.

But “lower percent of their income than everybody else” IS a viable and sensical answer?
Why? Why should the rich guy pay a lower percent in taxes than you or I?
They earn 90% of the wealth and yet only end up paying 45% of the taxes.
And of course there’s always some right-wing twit who says something stupid like “it’s not fair that the top 1% has to pay 45% of the taxes” as if it’s somehow unfair against those Richie Rich types.
The words I'm thinking of are "evasion" & "Maga".
I've often heard liberals call for a return
to 92% (an historic high). They always
fail to understand that this rate could
only exist with the massive & numerous
deductions (what they call "loopholes")
that avoided economic collapse.
Maybe we should be surprised as a culture by at acts of violence and, gee, I dunno... not okay with them. The fact that we aren't is why humans get stupid things like this happening in the first place - they rationalize violence entirely to readily. You are certainly not helping here.

Almost an hour of that? Kill me now. I'll never get how people spend so many, many hours listening to YouTube talking heads.

The bully was beaten.
For nearly a decade, Donald Trump has tormented his foes, demanded sycophancy from his allies, and debased America’s political discourse. He stiff-armed all comers with derisive nicknames from “Little Marco” to “Sleepy Joe” to “Crooked Hillary.”
Trump fired up supporters with racist rants, snappy slogans, and braggadocio about how he alone would fix everything. He turned American policy upside down by attacking allies and sucking up to dictators. And he counterpunched critics of his incompetence and corruption by claiming it was all “fake news.”
But on Tuesday night, Vice President Kamala Harris pierced the veil of the Trumpian mystique.
She pulled back the curtain on the Wizard of Odd.
For perhaps the first time, many Americans saw there was nothing there but a deranged, old man.
Harris delivered a master class on how to take down a bully. She pummeled Trump and put him in short pants. And she did it with style and substance.

From Kamala Harris, a master class on how to take down a bully | Editorial
Whether it will turn into enough votes for the vice president on Election Day remains to be seen. But finally, someone has figured out how to take on Donald Trump.

Ok I agree you think he is a lunatic. That is all you have? Who cares who won, what matters is did it change any minds?
I admit Trump lied. Is that ok with you? Do you admit Harris lied?
This is untrue but is this your standard? At least my candidate does not lie as much as yours?
I am not full hard core MAGA. I have said my reasons for supporting him in another thread. Has nothing to do with my reputation or character. I have actual reasons for supporting Trump you have one reason to support Harris. It makes you feel good to hate Trump and his supporters.
Can you explain why you support Harris without mentioning Trump?
More slurs and lies, Do you feel better now?
No, I don't believe he would do that but if he did, no.
You don't understand because you don't care to understand. You just like to spout hate for Trump and his supporters. I can tell you why Harris's policies are bad and Trumps are good. Can you tell me why Harris's are better and Trumps are bad without insults and slurs?

Again, I never argued anything other than the current rate is not the lowest rate in decades s was stated and is incorrect. That was my only argument, I never said anyone was to blame or laud.
Why demand the numbers? Will that convince you that my suggestion is sensible? How about this, do you agree that my suggestion is sensible at face value, that being that the middle class should see significant tax rate cuts while those making over $400K will see an increase? Or do you oppose it completely? If you are opposed to the idea at face value I won't bother with any details.
And do you still think shifting the burden of taxation towards those who csn better afford it socialism/communism? Or have you dropped that?
$400k/year is middle class in many areas, eg,
anywhere near NYC, where a home that I consider
in a good neighborhood, but is small, needs repairs,
has high property taxes, & costs over $1,000,000.
(I have a specific example in mind.)
