OK, Kamala...here's how to handle this "like a boss"...

Walk out on stage, grab the corner of your desk with one hand and the chair with the other, drag em about 10 feet farther away, walk back and get the plexiglass screen and place it appropriately, and stand and stare at the camera...expressionless. Don't say a word till addressed.

I'm pretty sure she doesn't let others lead her around by the nose. That's not safe.

don't think it's wise to be around a team which denies science, can't protect its members, think we shouldn't worry about covid, and have repeatedly lied about it to the american people. hopefully she can say she has limited the number of people with her, directed them to wear masks 100% of the time, don't mingle with Pence's group masks or no, and that some of her team will receive extra testing in the week following the event.

former gop, biographers, former generals, intelligence officials, and Trump administration officials that have now said Trump is dangerous, treacherous, stupid, racist, a cheat, beyond selfish, liar, and a con man.

High GOP officials are on record, but fox won't report that and fox viewers don't see TLP ads. The list is damning!
