Quentin wants Kamala in “A Quiet Place”
A film director known for an iconic line has a stern message for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Shut up! Shut up, shut up.
Quentin Tarantino offered this advice to the vibe queen during a conversation on the podcast “Club Random with Bill Maher.” So far, Harris has not given any official or spontaneous interviews since being undemocratically selected as the Democratic candidate to succeed President Joe Biden.
That would be outrageous to any sane person, but not to Tarantino. Harris, shut up. Until the final votes are counted in November.
I think it's all about winning the election. The easiest way to win an election is… Look, we can talk about how she should have been braver this way and that, but we are the president. Trump is not the president, we are the president, and this is what it's about now. This is about winning.
“We're the shit president.” Have the Harris-Waltz campaigns announced their new campaign slogans? At least it seems better than “kids.”
She likes you, she really likes you

“Vote for our country, our children & grandchildren. Vote for the planet, women & human rights. Vote for democracy. Vote for @kamalaharris & @timwalz. Please God (and I'll be your best friend),” she wrote on social media.
Note: My best friend is helping me move… but the field looks pretty sturdy for a 77.
