Harris will ask voters to 'turn the page' on Trump era at the site of his Jan. 6 speech

WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris will hold a rally Tuesday near the White House at the site where Donald Trump addressed a crowd he encouraged to march to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, shortly before it was violently attacked in a bid to overturn the election he lost.

Harris is scheduled to speak seven days before polls close on Election Day — and 100 days since President Joe Biden exited the race and propelled her to the top of the ticket — appearing at dusk on the Ellipse with a backdrop of the White House, which either she or Trump will occupy in three months.

Harris will call on Americans to “turn the page” on the Trump era and present herself as a pragmatist who will put results over party, according to a senior Harris campaign official who requested anonymity.

The official said she will continue to press a line she has invoked frequently in recent days, that Trump’s focus would be an “enemies list” — a reference to his recent comments about wielding the power of government against political rivals — and hers a “to-do list” that centers on lowering costs for people.

His one note shtick is tediously tired. His only real supporters are the clickbait MSM, bots, and extremist who are trying to ride him into power so they can install a disjointed cruel tyranny that is in no-one’s best interests, including their own.

He's going to lose, whether the MAGAs accept it or not. It's going to be the end of his political career for sure.

Good for Kamala to start reaching out to Chump's followers, who are no doubt going to accuse HER of all kinds of nonsense.

But if this is a signal the Government is going to do absolutely nothing about DJT's many crimes -- which is my biggest fear these days -- then not so great.

We absolutely must make it clear that this sort of behavior will not be acceptable in the future.

The "government" (Executive Branch) HAS done it's job and got charges brought. But the JUDICIAL BRANCH (courts) has blocked and/or delayed what the Executive Branch has done.

This is why Schumer is trying to get as many judges jammed in as he can before the end of this Congressional term (just like Turtle did from 2018 - 2020).

And, the media won’t let go until all of us quit paying them to shove him into our faces.
We have to go first.
