VP Kamala Harris addresses supporters at Howard University following election loss
I'm MAGA and fake boobs
(ABC 7 News - WJLA) Started streaming at 1:00 pm (PST): Failed candidate Vice President Kamala Devi Harris addresses her remaining supporters at historically Black university Howard U in Washington, D.C. (outside of the USA), Wednesday afternoon, following her election landslide defeat by convicted felon, sex abuser, and fraud Donald John Trump. ABC 7 News - WJLAax is live on the scene as a medic is called for behind the DJ booth and she keeps everyone waiting for more than 20 minutes, just as she did the night before after her apparent loss, sending out a spokesman to say she wasn't coming at all to address heartbroken supporters trying to hold on to the last bit of hope or dignity. But as the prosecutor and former district attorney has great difficulty showing any empathy, she didn't care. She has already called Trump to concede and accept her loss.

Cowardly Trump shakes hands with the Devil (VP Harris, who recently beat God's candidate in a debate so disastrous to the MAGA Movement that it has come to be called "Trump's 9/11"), tries to pull her in, fails, uses a second hand to try to show dominance and take her alpha status, but she pulls away and dismisses him -- all while the corpse of G-Joe Biden is propped there completely out to lunch and unaware of his surroundings. And why is JD Vance dressed like a clone of the puppet master, like a Midwest Mini Me? Jimmy Kimmel explains it all in:
Trump lies and whines after disastrous debate, Swift for Kamala, and do pro-lifers know the female body?
(Jimmy Kimmel Live) Sept. 11, 2024: While everyone else is all still buzzing after the Big Debate last night, the only person who seems to think Trump did a good job is Donald Trump, even Fox News thought he lost bigly, Trump keeps walking around making stuff up, pulling nonsensical numbers out of adult diaper, he is terrified to debate VP Kamala Harris again, Taylor Swift announced her endorsement of Kamala and Tim Walz, Elon Musk weighed in on her endorsement in the creepiest way possible, JD Vance can’t stop spreading lies about Haitians eating pets in Ohio, Trump, JD Vance, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris were in lower Manhattan today for a 9/11 memorial ceremony, Trump has had a “concept of a plan” for healthcare for a very long time, and we head deep into the heart of Texas to find out what pro-lifers know about female anatomy. #Kimmel
I did a great job, I did a great job, it was a perfect debate performance, la la la la la...
A Closer Look Live Primetime Special: Harris baits Trump into melting down during debate
(Late Night with Seth Meyers) Sept. 12, 2024: Host Seth Meyers takes a closer look at the historic debate between VP Kamala Harris and former Pres. Donald Trump and more in a special election edition of A Closer Look.
It wasn't even that hard. Why's everybody afraid of this brain fried old guy 45?
The Simpsons does it again, predicting future when a female would rule from the middle class
.
It was unfair, rigged! Did you see her earrings?!
It's funny because it's not unprecedented that someone would bomb right around 9/11. "This was Trump's 9/11," the radio hosts were saying this morning. Even the right-wing AM stations could hardly put up a defense. There's a rumor that KD's earring were transmitters feeding her the answers. Maybe deceased G-Joe B was on the other end, or Hillary having the last laugh. Maybe Tim was coming to the rescue after all, even before K-Dog tapped out.
She cheated! I won the debate!
What was so disgusting about Trumpo the clown was his anger, a grumpy old man, too old to be running. He's the oldest. The GOP needs to have a meeting, get MTG or Liz Cheney or Kimberly "OMG What Happened to Your Face" Guilfoyle to talk him out of running. This country needs fresh blood not stale adult diapers in the White House. He's weird, he's too old, his cognitive decline is only getting worse. Send JD Vance in to run, while Old Orange can be a Yeller at home with his intestinal issues keeping him on his golden (toilet seat) throne.
I kept my calm, I kept my cool, I was an inspiration to girls everywhere: Get to the top by all mean necessary. It what Malcolm X would say, what my father would say, what Ivanka would say... .
Loser. He's a loser. I wouldn't vote for a loser. And I've heard he's really weird.
Why is Mr. Fraud stealing our valor?
The worst thing is not his racist dog whistle against Haitians. He's just echoing JD by throwing red meat at his fans. The worst is trying to claim he did a great job, a flawless debate performance with no need for another. He's so scared of Kamala that he's refusing to debate her, trying to gaslight us into believing that she must have lost because she asked for a rematch. Just clearly wants to trounce him some more. And he doesn't need to any further because he proved to himself that she's got a bigger IQ than he does, is suddenly presidential (shaking hands, keeping her cool, answering to the point, not rambling, not being negative, not whining and complaining, which is all Trump and too many Republicans seem to spend their time doing nowadays.
I should just play golf in my old man suit for the rest of my short life. I look like Fred Mertz.
I'm being reamed over here, and it really chaps my hide! It's so unfair. I'm being wronged!
We've got a log cabin waiting for you in Florida, Cutie. Just win, win, win and wear big ties.
I preferred Biden than Trump. I'm voting Kamala
It is understandable the RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard are opposed to Harris. It is less understandable that they would defect to Trump's camp. He is wholly unsuited for anything but orange overalls and a seat in the courtroom. It's too bad new administrations don't go after old. It would a pleasant change if criminals-in-chief had to account for their conduct.
I refuse to go to the bathroom until I'm president again! You'll regret it if my butt explodes
OMG: Trump completely MELTS DOWN over choice of Tim Walz as VP
(Brian Tyler Cohen) Aug. 6, 2024: WHOA: DJ Trump finally MELTS DOWN over Tim Walz as VP. Kamala really knows how to hurt the old man, the oldest ever to try to run for president, who would be the oldest ever in office. That might be all right if he weren't going senile and suffering dementia symptoms just like now defunct candidate Genocide Joe.
Dhr. Seven, Ananda (Dharma Bu Meditation), Wisdom Quarterly; Danny Elfman (lyrics)
At the hub of the Wheel of Rebirth are greed, hatred, and delusion on which its turning hinges.
According to the Buddha, there are Three Poisons, mental defilements that degrade the mind/heart, and serve as the root-motivations for all unskillful karma (unwholesome actions).
What are they? Roughly speaking -- because these are ancient Pali/Sanskrit terms only approximately translatable into English -- they are:
Greed (attraction, passion, craving, desire, liking, or lobha)
Hatred (aversion, fear, revulsion, disliking, or dosa), and
Delusion (wrong view, distortion, perversion, ignorance, or moha).
The common English translation of "greed, hatred, and delusion" of technical Buddhist terms is misleading because it makes it seem as if only the extremes of these motives are unskillful karma.
In fact, at any intensity they lead to disappointment (dukkha, a term that extends from agitation to agony) as soon as they arise. For each term, the meaning spans the entire range of the word
from liking, bias, preference, and passion to greed,
from disliking, annoyance, fearing, and revulsion to hatred,
from not knowing, wrong view, misunderstanding, and distortion to delusion.
The motives (causes and conditions) for all skillful deeds, wholesome or meritorious karma, are the opposites:
Nongreed (letting go, sharing, giving, generosity, detaching, non-clinging, or alobha).
Nonhatred (friendliness, loving-kindness, compassion, joy in others' joy, or adosa).
Nondelusion (wisdom, knowing-and-seeing, right view, undistorted understanding, or amoha).
They make more sense in positive terms, but each word is a category encompassing the entire range of degrees.
Reflect and examine it. When we do something unskillful, unwholesome, or wrong, what is at the root of it? We are making demeritorious karma (that will bear fruit and ripen in unpleasant, unwelcome, unwished for, disappointing, and painful results).
Entering one of the subterranean hells below Los Angeles: 6th Dimension*
They are called "bad" not because a God doesn't like them but because we will not like their karmic results (vipaka and phala) when they finally ripen, which might not be for a long time. (Some deeds are avyākata, indeterminate or neutral).
Is fear hate? Both are manifestations of aversion (dosa), so fear may be distinguished from hate, but it's only a matter of our reaction to stimuli. In fear, we want to run away, whereas in hate we want to send the repulsive object away).
Ven. Nyanatiloka (L) and Ven. Nyanaponika
What motivates an action and produces karma? One or a combination of these seven motivating our action. The kind of karma produced is based on the motive or intention (cetana) behind the deed.
Karma is like a seed that comes to fruition later. The famous Judeo-Christian expression of this karmic principle is that "We shall reap what we sow." In other words, we will later harvest what we previously planted.
The Three Poisons of the mind/heart are easy to recognize in ourselves if we reflect, except for hate. Of course we like things. This is a carnal world within the Sensual Sphere (Kama-Loka). Pleasure-seeking is the main defilement that got us here and that gets us into trouble while we're here by motivating more greedy, selfish, lustful acts. However, all craving is rooted in ignorance.
Ignorance is the fundamental root of all problems and all suffering. Ignorance gives rise to desire, to craving and clinging to things we imagine are persisting, pleasurable, and real.
The Buddha's teaching on the Three Marks of Existence tells us that they are not any of these three things. All conditioned phenomena (all "things" composed of other things that depend for their existence on constituent elements or factors) are:
hurtling toward destruction,
disappointing and incapable of fulfilling us,
impersonal/empty/without essence.
They are not compacts but compounds, not unconditioned (like nirvana, the sole "unconditioned element"*) but conditioned (like everything else, every element, every fabrication, every formation).
*Asankhata: the "unformed, unoriginated, unconditioned" is a name for nirvana, the "further shore," that is beyond the beyond of all becoming (rebirth) and all conditions. See Bhikkhu Bodhi's As It Is for a textual definition of nirvana (called nibbana in Pali), which too often gets confused with "nothingness" or "annihilation" or "eternal life," when it is none of these things.
In the West we are not raised to recognize or admit our hatred. We are reluctant to show anger, instead suppressing and repressing it. This root (dosa) more often finds expression in the socially acceptable form of FEAR. It's still aversion. It's still unskillful karma that leads to unwise actions that yield painful results.
*Danny Elfman's best music was from his first movie, Forbidden Zone
Danny Elfman sings about fear
Elfman still makes music, performs
The genius ginger Danny Elfman, along with brother Dick and The Mystic Knight of the Oingo Boingo (Gong Show winners), recognized how out of control this unwholesome root could get -- odd neuroses, panic attacks, specific phobias, and general anxiety. Peace of mind will always be hard to find when it is defiled.

"In fear we kill." While he should be imprisoned for attempted murder, paramilitary Deputy Jesse Hernandez is free and resting at home as his fellow police investigators allowed him to quietly "resign" to avoid any charges, burying this humiliating incident in his personnel record where no one can see it, not even the next department to hire him.
He's licensed to kill by Florida, and he was just exercising that right and privilege, as he will do with his personal firearms protecting himself at home and on the street with some concealed carry pistols he might want to hide in his belt or boot.
Cowardly armed US cop shoots at unarmed Black suspect handcuffed in his cruiser after mistaking falling acorn for gunshot
I searched him thoroughly before cuffing him and locking him in the cage built into my patrol vehicle. That's how I knew he might still have a gun to shoot at me...I resign. Cop says acorn made him do it.
(The Telegraph) Feb. 14, 2024: One cop then fellow police in Florida opened fire on a detained and handcuffed suspect sitting in cop's patrol car after claiming to mistake the sound of a falling acorn for a gunshot magically fired from the enclosed squad SUV.
Victim Marquis Jackson, a 22-year-old Black youth, was trapped in the back seat of the police vehicle and was forced to “play dead to prevent getting shot in the head.”
Officers had arrested Mr. Jackson on the morning of Nov. 12 on suspicion of stealing his girlfriend’s car.
Although “verbally non-cooperative,” according to a Sheriff’s report, the young man did not offer any physical resistance as he was handcuffed and walked to the police car.
Bodycam footage shows one of the officers, Sheriff's Deputy Jesse Hernandez, standing outside with a handgun when a small acorn drops ont the roof of his vehicle.
Apparently, he allegedly claims, he believed Mr. Jackson had gotten out of his handcuffs, pulled a gun out of his ***, and started shooting at him and/or the other heavily armed back up officers.
He thought it was a good idea to execute the handcuffed young Black man in retaliation. So he threw himself to the ground, shouting “shots fired” and “I’m hit” for the other officers to kill the suspect -- as he himself attempted to shoot the man and police vehicle to death.
He emptied his semi-automatic service pistol into the police SUV.
He then crawled and took cover behind a different vehicle, as other officers opened fire on the suspect, telling his colleague that he was unharmed but that he may have been struck in his protective vest.
[This would constitute attempted murder and justify his and/or their act of killing the young, handcuffed suspect imprisoned in the police vehicle he could not possibly exit without assistance.]
(Indisputable with Dr. Rashad Richey) Feb. 14, 2024: A Florida cop was allowed to resign from his position as state licensed killer after recklessly shooting at a Black man handcuffed [and presumably frisked and cleared] in the back of his patrol car when he claims he mistook a falling acorn as gunfire. Dr. Rashad Richey and Wosny Lambre discuss on Indisputable.
OKALOOSA COUNTY, Florida (WKRG) — Victim Marquis Jackson recently shared, publicly, the story of what might have been the scariest day of his life. It all began at 8:42 am on Nov. 12, 2023, on McLaren Circle, when the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a vehicle driving around honking its horn, disrupting the peace since 3:00 am. A woman called the Sheriff’s Department, accusing Mr. Jackson, 22, of taking a vehicle and sending threats via text message and phone calls."
