Kamala Harris Reads Directly From Binder To Press, Takes No Questions

Posted • August 2, 2024: We had proof of life of President Joe Biden on Thursday when he announced a prisoner exchange with Russia. We also learned from Catherine Herridge that a plea deal had been reached with the self-described architect of the 9/11 terrorist attack and two of his accomplices that would save them from execution.

Yup, and the media won’t turn on her. She and her team made a masterful bet that the media will hate Trump no matter what. I hate it, but I respect the game.
