Just a short, simple blog for Bob to share his thoughts.

There is a meme floating around which claims that former presidential candidate Kamala Harris uttered the following warning on June 18, 2020:
"And once Trump's gone and we have regained our rightful place in the White House, look out if you supported him and endorsed his actions, because we'll be coming for you next. You will feel the vengeance of a nation. No stone will be left unturned as we seek you out in every corner of this great nation. For it is you who have betrayed us."
Yes, she really said this!
First of all, no - Kamala Harris did not say that, and the source of this fictitious quote is a satire website. But these sorts of statements make me angry, because they're so easily refuted by the facts. For this specific example, see the articles Social Media Posts Treat Fictional Harris ‘Quote’ as Fact and No, Harris Never Said Trump's Supporters Would 'Feel the Vengeance of a Nation'. Whenever I see political tripe such as this show up on social media, all it does is reinforce the ignorance of the person who reposted it. Not just because the information these political dupes are posting is verifiably false, but also because it publicly demonstrates that these sycophantic suckers are incapable of both telling the difference between fact and fiction and being capable of simple searches that might uncover the truth. (Which is kind of frightening when you think about it.)
Don't get me wrong, Kamala has said a lot of stupid things, and that should have been a dead giveaway that this was fake. If Kamala had ACTUALLY wanted to say something like the original post, it would have been more like the following example:
"And once Trump is 'gone'... [Cackles] and 'gone' is, you know, a figurative place that isn't 'here'... [Cackles] And we've... [Cackles][Cackles] thank you. Thank you so much! [Cackles] And we've regained, or retaken ... [Cackles] or reattained... [Cackles] or 'returned' to our place, which... we believe... [Cackles] is our 'rightful' place, in the color-free... or rainbow-colored... [Cackles] 'House of the American People'... be aware, or be on the look out... [Cackles] or be prepared... to see that... if you supported him... meaning 'Trump,' of course... [Cackles][Cackles] and endorsed... or supported... or voted for... or thought about his actions, meaning the things that Trump did, or said, or wanted to do... [Cackles] because we'll be coming for you next... which means that 'we,' as a people who didn't vote for... [Cackles] you know, Trump... [Cackles] we will be coming after you... [Cackles] which means, of course, we'll we going after those people that... [Cackles] you know... [Cackles] 'liked' Trump or something... those people will feel the vengeance, or anger, or... [Cackles][Cackles][Cackles] or... reprisals... which means, you know... [Cackles] 'retribution'... which is a word that... like 'vengeance'... means... [Cackles][Cackles][Cackles] some form of 'repayment'... but not... [Cackles] ... in a 'good' way... you know? [Cackles] Thank you! Thank you so much! [Cackles] And that vengeance... or... [Cackles] hatred... will be coming from the... you know... the 'nation'... [Cackles][Cackles] which means, of course, 'ALL' of us... except, you know, those of 'us' who AREN'T part of 'us'... [Cackles] meaning those people... who... [Cackles][Cackles][Cackles] supported him... meaning 'Trump'... of course... [Cackles] or voted for him... or thought about staying at Trump Tower when they were in Chicago... which I didn't do when I was there... because, you know, I stand with all you people... I mean... all 'my' people, who are... [Cackles] ... you know... the people who DIDN'T vote for Trump... [Cackles] And those people, the Trump ones, they should know that no stone... which is a hard thing, like a 'rock,' which is also a hard thing that you can hit things with... [Cackles] which is usually a mineral of some sort... which is where we get the word 'miners' from, and we don't like miners because they're destroying, you know... [Cackles] the environment and stuff... [Cackles] But let me be very clear: when we say 'miners'... we don't mean 'minors'... because... [Cackles] even though they sound the same... [Cackles] they're not the same thing, because 'miners' are, you know, bad people... because of global warming and stuff... and 'minors,' you know, they're young, so they can't be 'miners'... and they can't vote... so they couldn't have voted for Trump, of course... [Cackles] So you see... those two words - 'miners' and 'minors' - they're not the same... [Cackles] And if those people... not the miners, or the minors, but the Trump people... if THOSE people are hiding under a... you know, a stone... or a rock... we won't leave that stone or rock unturned... [Cackles] or any stones or rocks unturned... meaning that, you know, we'll be turning them over... like a new leaf... [Cackles] so we can see, unburdened by what has been, of course... [Cackles][Cackles] where we seek out, or look for... or search for... [Cackles] 'you,' meaning those people who were with... you know... Trump... [Cackles] we'll find you in every corner... and a 'corner' is something that you find on round things, which... you know... are like us... [Cackles] because we're well-rounded people... [Cackles][Cackles] am I right? [Cackles] And we'll look in those corners, all of them, that are part of... or connected to... or joined with... this great nation... [Cackles] because it is you... meaning 'them'... [Cackles] who... you know, betrayed 'us'... who are NOT them... but were... [Cackles] you know... with Trump at some point. [Cackles][Cackles] Thank you! Thank you so much. [Cackles]"
Now, tell me the truth... you could hear that in your head in Kamala's voice as you read it, right? That's what Kamala Harris actually sounds like when she speaks, and that's why that original quote is easily outed as a hoax. Kamala simply doesn't have the speaking skills or presence of mind to deliver something as succinct as the original post - even with a teleprompter desperately trying to guide her.
POSTSCRIPT:
To be fair, Biden could have said something much like the original quotation 20 or 30 years ago before his brain had turned to cottage cheese. But if he had, his speech would have been stolen from a speech that someone else had given, since Biden was a career plagiarist - see https://tinyurl.com/yj2wdp7b - but I digress. 😉
