Donald J. Harris.

There is a god and they have a sense of humor.

This is why I worship the great trickster god. Reality is entertainment for entities beyond our comprehension.

they're perfectly comprehensible in their shit-assness

We live in a videogame, and a child is doing the equivalent of taking away the pool ladder in the sims

Kamala my daughter, I have taught you the ways of Marxism, make america a communist country.

Kamala, how could you possibly think that's what I meant?

volcel-kamala Another day another banger!

Gee, real head scratcher.

God that must feel awful watching your daughter turn in to girlboss hitler.

I mean the dude's a very slightly left-leaning neoliberal economist at Princeton so let's not give him too much credit. He's mostly pissed at all the "Jamaicans like smoking weed" references his daughter keeps making.

It's like Buttigieg's dad, people hear Marxist and think some sort of radical, instead of a boringly standard academic in history or economics.

He's mostly pissed at all the "Jamaicans like smoking weed" references his daughter keeps making.

Wild isn't it, imagine having a daughter who first gained notoriety for her brutal ""tough on crime"" policies which imprisoned people (predominantly black and other POC though that's obvious) for weed, and then made a 180° turn to becoming the most annoying "weed, bro" hunter stereotype panderer.

It isn't the most infuriating thing that she's done, but it's up there.

Looking it up if nothing else it had a hell of a payoff: https://web.archive.org/web/20190218061545/https://www.jamaicaglobalonline.com/donald-harris-slams-his-daughter-senator-kamala-harris-for-fraudulently-stereotyping-jamaicans-and-accusing-her-of-playing-identity-politics/

“My dear departed grandmothers(whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), as well as my deceased parents , must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”

He certainly has a way with words

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh. I thought he was cooler than that.

I must regretfully inform you that reports of Kamala's dad's Marxism appear to have been overblown

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago

And she's like "first off I'm gonna be a cop"

No! That's not how this works! Poor dude

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 week ago

They should respect that poor man's privacy. I can't imagine the shame he must feel for having the "genocide with joy" girl boss as a daughter

Donald J.

The universe blessed us with this

More proof we're in a simulation

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Am I just thinking about it too much or is it not weird that they used his middle initial? Almost as if they want to draw a line to a certain other Donald J.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 week ago

to be fair, i think it might just be because it's funny. it is funny.

If my daughter turned out to be a demon, I wouldn't want to talk to her either

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Idk I'd probably be talking to priests and magicians trying to find a way to exorcise the demon or else contain her power.

Imagine saying something out of pocket during class and he just hits you with this look.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

You fucking KNOW this guy is about to make you make an ass of yourself

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 week ago

Gonna guess it started when she became a cop and firmly solidified when she became a politician cop.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 week ago

Put him in, coach.

Let's get him in that cabinet

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it’s because he had some drama about custody with his former ex wife

Please get him on tv as an October surprise
