Kamala likes to lay down on the job and show up for a photo opp.

Women stomped the 🍇and the men received 🍷. I grabbed 🎾 and the racquet ball.hit the wall and 😭 Now I made it through 🎗️™ Surgery in 2010 and in 2022 you still consider me amongst the men LMAO! IT IS OVER 2000 YEARS OF PISS POOR NUTRITION BILLING WOMEN. 💋PHILOSOPHY📜

Can they be any more obvious how they use Kamala Harris to draw black favor. I think that it would have been more appropriate for our white president to pay tribute to Mr. king without playing political games.

Kamala put away hundreds of black and brown kids in prison for marijuana. Then laughed saying “I’m Jamaican are you kidding me? And I inhaled”. Her father was appalled and ashamed when he heard her stereotypical demeaning comments of her Jamaican heritage.

Voting rights, are the expectation of security! What Commie La is suggesting is no ID, immigrant and felons voting, mass mail ballots, no purging of voter rolls, federal control over elections forever, so whoever is in charge can call the election like they do in Venezuela!

This race baiting is a political stunt! Expanding voter rules to make voting easier and more secure is good for all races! To say things like, blacks can’t own an ID card, find a copy machine, go online, find a library to vote, drive, ride a bus, use a cell phone, is racist!

Only the he legitimate people have the right to vote, that is the correct voting right. If the illegal people have the right to vote, it harm the voter's right, please have a bill to check the id before they can vote, that is the correct voting right bill.

All of you commenting I assume have read the bill and agree with all of it. No body gets hurt?

And still the people are without a STIM! And most are going without food!

BREAKING REPORT: New Gallup Poll: Majority of Americans Now Identify as REPUBLICAN After Massive 14 Percent Swing in One Year. Don’t worship DJT. Execute the DJT/GOP platform & policies. DJT, please step down but lead the GOP efforts. Defeat Socialist Democratic Party candidates!

Wow, pathetic she had to use his name in such a shameful way.

Yeah because it so hard to register and then show up and present your state issued ID or Driver's license to vote. Its easier to vote than it is to get a library card, checking account, government assistance, unemployment or even a gun.. so what's the problem!

There is action. She just doesn’t like the no vote.

Yeah, thats the problem 🙄

What voting rights don't people have? Besides illegals and non citizens which is how it should be. Need voter ID !!!!

King is rolling over in his grave at this foolishness....

I wonder if they have a B plan.

Noticed pundits+politicians who arrogantly opine POTUS’ 'tone' calling out the implicit racism in anti-Voter laws+resistance to strong Voter Rights look like people in no danger of THEIR Right to Vote stolen. Implicit “You (people of color) need to ask me nicely if you can vote”

KINGS MESSAGE WAS HELP THE POOR, HE WAS A PREACHER FIRST.

Lol

The democrats proposals to federalize elections have nothing to do with a citizen’s “right to vote.” Everyone who is a citizen can vote. If you have questions about provisions to aid you in voting then talk to your local civil authority. There are many options.
