Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Is this a sign of dementia? Any doctor can confirm?
Yeah, a kind of "where are you really from originally?" bullshit that most non-white people will have been asked at some point.
Which is crazy, because her Jamaican father is named Donald Harris (she didn't take her husband's surname), so if you actually follow Trump's breadcrumb and investigate Kamala Harris' lineage, you find a family name that is actually more common and more Anglo than Trump's last name (the anglicised version of the German "Drumpf").
Between that and him faking being Swedish, his family sure doesn't want to be known as German.
Definitely not something a person of sound mind would come up with.
I'm not a doctor, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night. But no real medical professional would ever publicly confirm any actual diagnosis due to HIPPA concerns. What save you also saves him.
But, feel free to speculate all you want to. HIPPA doesn't cover speculation by non-medical people.
**Edit for missing words. Need more tea.
Her husbands last name is Emhoff. Maybe he is referring to that? If Lemmy can't understand him, what chance does his base?
Is it a compulsory that a married female take on the male last name? Am from Asia and this isn't practiced at all.
It's not compulsory though it's widely practiced and probably used to be required for certain marriage arrangements.
It's becoming less common and many women will hyphenate their last name after marrying now.
Back in the 1960s maybe. Even then professional woman rarely changed.
