U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris indirectly criticized former President Donald Trump on Sunday, suggesting her opponent in the Nov. 5 election was a "coward" whose politics focused on putting down rivals.

... The remarks came in a campaign appearance in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania with running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, before Harris heads to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, which kicks off Monday.

"Over the last several years there's been this kind of perversion that has taken place, I think, which is to suggest that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down. When what we know is the real and true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up," Harris told a crowd of supporters. "Anybody who's about beating down other people is a coward."

She did not directly name Trump, who in a campaign appearance Saturday in eastern Pennsylvania referred to Harris as a "radical" and a "lunatic." ...

She could not be more correct. Bullies are always the most broken, fragile people. A punch in the nose, and they collapse in on themselves. This is all Dotard has ever been, and in the end it will lead to the GQP spending a couple of cycles in the wilderness.

Trump is a coward is something we've all known since his days as Cadet Bone Spurs where his father sent him to learn some discipline. It didn't work.

Next up: Der Dotard will produce a note from Dr. Ronny Jackson (R-Hooterville) stating that the patient is in fact, a macho, macho man unafraid of man, woman child or insect. So there, not scary lady. And, the fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat will show for the debate, if he can get a ride...

I doubt Kamala is a "nice" person, given the turn over in her office under Biden. Just like I don't doubt Trump is a bully.

You don't get to their positions by being nice.

For when you think making the most money is the most important goal in life.

No wonder you're a Trumpite.

Just because you "make the most money" does not mean you are not a "broken fragile" person.

""Anybody who's about beating down other people is a coward.""

Wow. Every day we get new trash talk against Reps. Every day we get more liberals, even prominent Dem leaders, saying how bad everyone is who thinks differently from them. We even have liberals putting down women who aren't liberal. But, anyone who does that is a coward. Once again, liberals prove hypocrisy is their platform. Like when Ellen sat next to W and liberals went nuts and demonized her for saying we should all be friends.

These aren't made up incidents. These happen regularly. Sure, both sides do it. But for a party to brazenly expose their hypocrisy like this only shows they are using hypocrisy as a weapon, not to make any valid points.

#16 - Having a Dotard moment? What the hell are you talking about. There are ALL KINDS of Republicans endorsing VPOTUS, because Orange Adolph is a unique threat to this country. I can be friends with those patriots in spite of disagreeing with them on nearly everything. Sorry, I can't be friends with a POS who ONLY thinks about himself, and would sell out everybody and everything for his benefit. Dotard is the biggest POS in public life since Joe McCarthy, and that includes Republican child molester Dennis Hastert. Can't be friends with scum like him. He has no friends but Epstein because it's impossible for him to be a friend. Even his kids hate and fear him. All I have for your cult leader is that I want to see him spend the rest of his putrid, wasted life in prison.

There was never a September 4th debate.

She never agreed to any Sept. 4th debate in the first place. That was Trump's trap she refuses to fall into. If she agreed to appear on Fox in front of a friendly Trump crowd with Trump moderators, he'd never show up on Sept. 10th.

You're really gullible, aren't you? Thank goodness Harris isn't.

Such a simp.....

She'll debate him on September 10, the date agreed to for the Republican presidential nominee to meet the Democratic presidential nominee.

When Trump floated September 4, even Fox hadn't been brought into the loop. Trump tried to pull an okey-doke and Harris didn't bite.

At the rate Trump's mental acuity is circling the drain, if he decompensates into even more vile personal insults and racist tropes unbefitting any nation's electoral race for its highest office, I'd tell him to pound sand. Harris should simply announce, "I don't debate guttersnipes, and America certainly shouldn't elect one."

Moments after having his ear barely nicked by flying debris, trump's first focus was getting his lift shoes back on, so no one would see he's not as tall as he pretends, his second focus was posing for a photo, his third focus was inflaming partisan hatred in america and telling his cult to FIGHT.

Fight who? The republican who tried to shoot him?

If he was nearly killed, why was his ear totally fine 2 days later on the golf course, yet all bandaged up at the convention?

Having a bullet nick your ear is millimeters close to getting killed. God was looking out us and Trump that day. It was only a scratch.

Perhaps it was the only size they had and he didn't have scissors to cut it down is a reasonable guess as to the reason for the size of the bandage. Why is it important to you?

The leading presidential candidate can't find any scissors? That's your best guess?

Why was there any bandage at all when photos from the golf course the previous day showed no injury?

Why ISNT it important to you that your cult leader lies about everything including his own injuries?

You literally believe everyone is hostile to Trump besides Fox.

It's also cute how you ignore the new ground rules that Trump demanded for the Fox "debate".

But no, let's go have a debate on a new station that tried to help overthrow the election and got sued twice for over a billion dollars each.

I'm asking YOU why he had zero wounds on his ear while playing golf, and then a huge bandage the next day at the convention.

Fox? That's the channel that intentionally lied to their viewers about imaginary election fraud until they supported a coup right? The one that is paying out nearly a billion in damages for this lie? The one that argues in court that people shouldnt trust what they say since they're merely entertainment?

That's the one you want to host a debate?
