It Would Be a Huge Flex if Kamala Harris Swore Herself In at the Start of the Debate
Double standard donnie is going to try to weasel out of this commitment, but we can dream can't we?
Hello friends,
I pitched this idea on a note yesterday and I received a couple of good responses. Today, I'd like to go into detail as to why I think this would be a great tactic for Vice President Harris to use during the debate.
Imagine if the first time Harris was asked a question, she paused to raise her right hand and declare, “I, Kamala Devi Harris, do solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me God.”
At that point, she could turn and say, “My opponent Donnie-boy over there is too much of a coward to testify under oath even in his own defense. At some point, the American people need an answer to the question of what it is about the truth that so terrifies him. To this day, he still can't admit that Joe Biden and I whipped his butt in the 2020 election. I suspect that he's afraid enough of jail that he'd admit that he'd been lying to his followers all these years if he did give testimony under oath... which is why he avoids it.”
A couple of the people who commented on my note, made the point that swearing an oath is useless because giving his word doesn't mean anything to double standard Don. That's a valid argument. But I didn't pitch this as a means of getting Captain Shartface to tell the truth, I pitched it as a means of getting under his skin.
Those of us who already support Harris know that she tells the truth and that Donnie is a liar. But the debate is theater, and the target audience of this theater needs to be the people out there who still haven't decided who to vote for.
This should be so obvious I shouldn't even have to type it, but the problem is that the majority of decision makers have such cushy lifestyles that they're disconnected from reality. Fortunately, I think Harris has enough of a working class background that she's not going to overlook what should be obvious.
Folks, beating Don the con in a popularity contest should be a layup. The man is loathsome. The man is a criminal. The man has been found in court to have sexually assaulted women. He tried to overthrow the damn government (I'll get to that again in a moment).
But for some reason there are these idiot “statesmen” who think he should be accorded the same respect as any other candidate. Why? Why surrender the best means of defeating that dope?
If the first thing Harris does in dopey dictator's face is swear an oath to tell the truth, it will be a visceral way to demonstrate how comfortable she is with law and order. It will be fun to see her smile and relax and pledge to tell the truth without discomfort, and then turn and challenge angry fake billionaire to do the same (which he will refuse).
That action will corner him. If she asks him to “debate under oath” and he refuses, it makes it look like he's rejecting the truth. If he does it, it makes it look like she forced him to do something he didn’t want to do.
The other part of this that makes me cackle with sinister laughter is that nepo baby dictator is so stupid he might think the debate counts as a legal proceedings. He might actually think he's under oath if he recites the words, and that would cause him to melt down.
The other advantage that the democrats have right now is that their opponent is out on bail (seriously... how did we get here?). He's under various gag orders. There are all sorts of questions Harris could ask him that he can not legally answer because those answers might leave him subject to further charges.
Now, some of you are going to say, “Well, the Trump team is going to make Harris agree not to ask those questions.”
Sure. Tell them you aren't going to ask them, and then ask them in a way that isn't explicitly prohibited by the letter of the debate agreement. This is how law works. You don't just surrender your biggest advantage because your opponent is a crybaby.
The defamation lawsuit from E. Jean Carroll was because Orange McRaperface kept badmouthing her on tape. As dumb as that dope is, even he is stung by an 83 million dollar judgment against him. He literally can't talk about it.
Harris should take advantage of that and ask him question after question after question knowing full well that if he answers he'll be subjected to further legal action. She should explain to E. Jean Carroll what she's doing. It's not as if Carroll could be any more in the spotlight, and if the dope responds, she might be in for another hundred million dollar payday.
I just want to see this. I want to see that bully narcissist cornered and pressured by a variety of women. This is so glorious. Make him squirm, make his face pucker on national television, make him start to whine and cry and bleat like he always does. It will be hilarious. It will be a technical knock out that should leave no voter undecided.
MAKE HIM LOOK WEAK!
It should be easy because HE IS WEAK. He's the weakest, sorry excuse for a candidate that has ever run for office anywhere in the world. Take the gloves off and EXPOSE that dope so that even the stupidest American understands that HE IS NOT THE ANSWER!
So, anyway, after this game of oath taking has played out, and Harris has taken advantage of the multiple avenues of attack it offers, she has one final card to play.
At the end of the debate, she should say, “And now I will take another oath. I will take an oath that my shameful opponent has already broken. Here it is: I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Then she smiles and turns, and says, “Did you hear that Donnie baby, it says DEFEND not SUSPEND!” Turning back to the audience she says, “And you can trust me to uphold that oath, because, unlike my opponent, I value the truth. Unlike my opponent I'm willing to testify and debate under oath. Unlike my opponent, I will work for the country, not try to sell it to the highest bidder.”
I think something like this would truly make agent orange implode. Seeing that wouldn't quite justify the misery we've all had to endure over the last 10 years, but it would be enormously satisfying.
Oh, and it does seem like somebody at the DNC is reading my newsletter, so there is a little bit of hope this might actually happen :)

She is a lawyer as well as a politician, so she's used to engaging with people speaking under oath. Whereas his actual debating skills are minimal. So the odds are already stacked against him.
The most important oath she needs to be able to take is the one about how "I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States."
She could start with: "I'm Kamala Harris, for the People.
My opponent is Donald J. Trump for: Donald J.Trump".
