Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Let’s get to work, people. She’ll peel Trump’s hide and hand it to Pence like he was a coat check attendant.
1looking forward to a President Harris one day
2She and Susan Rice are both strong but I was hoping for Kamala. She’s super smart, confident, great communicator and would make a great President. Can’t wait for her to trounce Pence in their debate.
3Susan Rice will make a terrific Secretary of State as well.
Outstanding news. Kamala Harris was my choice, from the beginning of the VP sweepstakes.
4Hoping for Susan Rice.
Need Harris in the Senate. Now Harris’ vote is up for grabs. Can the Cali governor be trusted to select a replacement as equally Democratic? Who??
5My choice since the beginning. Love her energy, her sharp mind, her ability to take the attacks that have been thrown at her and persevere. I would have been happy with Rice, too, but I know there will be a place for her. We’ll need all hands on deck to get back on track.
6She’s a good choice. I saw her speak in Grapevine last year. She’s got a certain charisma, and a movie star smile. As a long-time prosecutor, she naturally speaks in a thoughtful, measured way that sometimes comes across as not very spontaneous or warm. When she does get excited it can sometimes seem rehearsed. But she absolutely has that Democratic spirit, of fighting for the unfortunate, come what may. She is clearly in politics for all the right reasons.
7A fine choice and tough as hell. Susan Rice doesn’t have the charisma to carry it off, even though she’s be as good a choice.
Let’s get to work!
8Great Choice – Kamala has all the right qualities. I’m looking forward to seeing her debate Pence. Now let’s all get busy and make this November one for the record books.
9I was hoping for Kamala also. Susan Rice, in theory, would be good but the GOP has been salivating for her to run because, “Bennghaazzi!” and we’d be back in that cesspool again. I hope Kamala rips Pence a new one. 🙂
10Kamala Harris will not debate Pence. She will eviscerate him publicly, as he deserves.
11I just realized, Pence can’t debate her. He refuses to be alone with a woman without Mother there, and in pandemic times, no audience would be allowed.
12Excellent choice. Twitter is reporting first VP debate will be Oct. 7. From Utah.
13I only hope Trump doesn’t dump Pence for a different VP choice before then. I really want to see Kamala eviscerate him.
Great news, now the real battle is on, gonna go nuclear in a few moments.
Joe and Kamala are going to annihilate those two sonuvabitchin ratbastard murdering losers.
Sen. Harris is going to make Pence squeal like one of Ernst’s hogs. Look out Momma, Mike is fixing to lose his teensy obsequious danglers. [will Rump dump Mikey now?]
Just consider how deep the Democratic bench is with outstanding, hell, superlative in every respect, talent. Biden still has an immense plethora of super-competent people to fill his administration with.
Just so they root out the festering rot now infecting our government, and restore the damage done in just four years.
Compare with the Rethug’s sorry ass lineup of utterly incompetent thieving lying ratfucking bastards.
Biden
2020
ByeDon
[Rice would’ve been nice, but she’ll make a helluva Secretary of State. Shiff as a ruthless AG…]
14I’ve been a fan of Kamala from the very beginning. I am thrilled.
Susan Rice would be fabulous at State, to get those shredded relationships left by Pompous Ass repaired and back in order.
Joe‘s gonna have a fabulous team, you can feel it in the air.
Good day, today!! One for the history books.
15Can’t wait for the VP debate. She’s going to OWN Pence. Laying in large supplies of popcorn.
16Great pick with Kamala.
The gop would have snacked on Rice. She is brilliant. She is a wonk. She has never had to run.
Now I have to change the channel as Chuck Todd clutches his pearls about sore feelings with progressives and if the wimmens will be able to work together making pies because of—– feelings.
Damn.
17Kamala Harris is exactly the right choice! She’ll add a ton of excitement to the ticket. And here in CA, we also have a strong Democratic bench to take her place in the Senate, with a progressive Democratic governor to facilitate that. How about Congresswoman Barbara Lee for Senator?
18Listening to a talking head on MSNBC talking about how effective Biden thought Harris’ assault was in the primaries. So filtered through the LBJ lens I carry in my pocket for such occasions, Biden thought “I’d rather have her inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in”
19Out of all the Democratic women to choose from, there really were no *bad* choices on the list. (Democrats rock like that!) However, I don’t think he made the best choice. I’ll still vote for Joe, (obviously), but I’m disappointed. I think Susan Rice would’ve made a better choice. I’m no longer excited about any of this. I just want it to be over.
20Micr @19; Dude, at that level, you can’t afford to take attacks seriously. Biden is old, but no fool: people like Kamala Harris are the future.
21I’m sure they’ll let Mother Pence in to hold Mike’s hand while Kamala slaughters him.
22I was for Harris from the start, voted for her in the primary. I like Rice, but they would have Benghazi’d the campaign to death. Now, after Biden-Harris win, let’s put Rice in as SecState and Tammy Duckworth as either SecDef or VASec.
23I see a lot of VP debate descriptions here using terms like eviscerate & slaughter. JJ mentioned earlier in the football thread “rightwing Christians to the lions” so I guess that’s happening.
24At least she has held elective office. To my mind that is the absolute minimum and I detected the usual Democratic death wish when I heard all the hoopla for Rice or Abrams.
25Washington Post sez:
Trump donated to Harris’s campaign for California attorney general
President Trump donated to Kamala D. Harris’s campaign for California attorney general as recently as 2013, sending $6,000 her way in 2011 and 2013. His daughter Ivanka Trump also contributed $2,000 to Harris in 2014.
26@charles phillips
Said “effective”. And it was. Harris prolly secured the VP spot there, regardless of who ultimately prevailed, except herownself, to the presidential nomination.
I’d still prefer Rice at VP, Harris at Justice, and Warren or Katie Porter or both at Treasury. Resurrect Mathis at Defense. Not yet had a lightbulb moment about State.
I’d like to see Obama as a Supreme. I’d like to see Michelle Friedland on the SC as well as Merrick Garland, even if Garland can only ultimately serve 5 to 10 years. This wrong must be righted. And bitch slap Moscow Mitch in the process.
27First, my heart goes out to Mike Pence and his family on the the sad news that he’ll be debating Kamala.
Second, my congratulations to Joe Biden for having chosen a competent, qualified, woman who won’t cost us a US senator, US representative or governors seat! Says a lot about the top of both tickets that Biden picked the running mate who clashed most aggressively with him in the primaries while Trump took the sycophant who had so badly botched the Governorship that he could no longer get elected dog catcher.
Of note, as you hear Trump launching salvos at Harris, Trump & Ivanka previously contributed to the Harris campaign.

28There were a lot of very good choices. If Biden and Harris have buried the hatchet and decided that they can work best together for the common good, I’m fine with her as VP.
29I love Kamala. But I’d vote for Joe if his running mate were a dog vomit fungus.
30Let’s get to work, as dobleremolque says.
Traditionally the first task of a Vice-President nominee is to be the pit bull that goes after the other side’s Presidential nominee. To say things that are so unseemly and clever and vicious they’d make their own side’s nominee look mean, low and un-presidential.
And Harris has that capablity.
As for “debating” Pence, it’s like Little Boy Blue meets Ma Barker. [In other words, we all need to go add popcorn to the grocery list now].
31@The Surly Professor
In my recollection of the debates Harris presented as the scalpel wielding DA, except when she called out Biden very specifically about working with southerners opposed to busing. In that exchange she started with her scalpel and ended with her hatchet. Biden began a response but bailed on it and said his time was up.
Does that foreshadow her ripping Drumpf’s “heart” out and showing to him during the campaign? I sure as he77 hope so.
32She and Warren were head-to-head in my picks for candidate. BRING IT ON. Watch the Senate videos of her eviscerating Sessions and Justice Rapist and wait for the bloodletting in the debates. She can handle it.
33Trumpf’s foot in mouth disease is well known. Recently he told a sports reporter that Biden committing to a woman VP candidate would turn off male voters. I hope a lot of women and independent voters read about that interview (I’m sure he railed about Colin Kaepernick while he was at it). Of course today he’s been badmouthing Kamala Harris intimating she isn’t very good. So in almost one fell swoop, he’s turned off women, Black voters, minorities and many independents (and of course all Dems). Hope he keeps shoving his foot in his mouth- maybe with golf spikes on one of these days.
34Still no descendant of Southern slaves at the top of a ticket. I don’t know if that is significant of anything — but I suspect it is — or just a happenstance of personal development.
I also note that quite a few Democrats still cannot pronounce her name correctly.
35I was hoping for Kamala all along. I supported Warren from the gitgo; but, she is just too old for VP at this time. I would sure love to see her as Treasury Secretary. However, Massachusetts has a Rethug governor, so there’s that. If the Dems run the table and take over the Senate with a couple seats to spare, then that is doable.
I love Susan Rice; but she is not a politician and suffers fools less than I do. That’s a requirement for political office, unfortunately. However, she will kick some butt as Secretary of State.
36Thrilled and relieved that Harris is Biden’s pick. There are many, many talented people who would be great in cabinet positions and positions necessary to clean up the rot of the current administration. Let us hope they all put in the effort to help Biden/Harris win this election.
37Oh, happy day! We’ve got a fabulous ticket. Let’s DO IT!
38Glad to see Harris. Don’t know why a competent attorney general, which is an executive position carrying out the laws the legislators make, should be dinged for doing her job.
I LUV the idea of Barbara Lee as Senator! Then move Libby Shaaf, Oakland Mayor, to Lee’s slot in the House.
39angela @17 has a great point. Rice is awesome and would be awesome in the job. But I think she’s always gotten her jobs the old fashioned way. Through achievements. Not campaigning the public. And the best qualified and most capable person for the job can’t do it if they don’t get elected.
40Trump couldn’t think of a clever nickname, had to settle for the generic “nasty.” Is there any strong woman he hasn’t applied that to?
I think Ted Lieu would be an outstanding senator.
41Kamala was at the top of my list, though I admired all the women in Biden’s list. The pick says good things about Biden. We can all imagine how trump would have reacted to a Harris attack in a debate. Let’s go win this!
42I imgaine if the pick had been, we’d be hearing non-stop Benghazi until Election Day.
Sen. Harris has the right-wing flummoxed. They have been throwing all sorts of misogynistic and racist crap at her all day. Ari Fleischer had an all-white panel on FOX to explain why she’s not exciting to African-Americans. Trump attacked her with the nasty woman taunt claiming she was mean to Kavanaugh.
The GOP is all over the map. Harris would destroy Pence in a debate (assuming Mother lets him be in the same room with her).
43If trump doesn’t let Pennywise debate Harris, it’s because he’s a coward. If he does, then he’s a fool.
44I thought she would be the pick from the start. Look at history. Reagan and Bush had a public fuss, but that didn’t stop Reagan from picking or Bush from Accepting. She is tougher than nails and thats exactly what she needs! The Golden gibbon and Pence don’t stand a chance!
45Go Kamala!
Yes she will make a good vice, not my pick because have not forgiven her for Al Franken.
46@Caren
I had forgotten or maybe never took notice of Senator Harris’ role in Al Franken’s resignation. This caused me a brief disconnect. In the final analysis, Drumpf is a geometric progression worse than any involved in the slobbering knee jerk reaction which ejected Franken from the Senate.
Because Senator Gillibrand ran unopposed in the Democratic primary in 2018, in the spirit of “Never Gillibrand” I donated money to her Republican opponent, Chele Farley. I’ll continue to support opponents to those two dozen or so Senators who demanded Franken resign.
47I wanted her for president, and I’m delighted with her as VP candidate. She’s the complete package: knowledge base, experience, character, thick enough skin and soft enough heart.
