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.

[–] RiotDoll@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh. I thought he was cooler than that.

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

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

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

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 65 points 3 months 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

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 57 points 3 months 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.

[–] hexaglycogen@hexbear.net 36 points 3 months ago

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

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 55 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Donald J.

The universe blessed us with this

More proof we're in a simulation

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 49 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

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

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 46 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] bigbrowncommie69@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months 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.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 37 points 3 months ago

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

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago

Put him in, coach.

Let's get him in that cabinet

[–] Sausage@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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