Edits to Kamala Harris' Wikipedia page questioned amid Biden VP pick speculation

An online battle has erupted over the Wikipedia page for Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., with a significant uptick in edits that reflects a pattern that's been seen ahead of past vice-presidential announcements and led Wikipedia to put the page under "discretionary sanctions."

The trend was first reported last week by The Intercept. According to the revision history of the Harris article on Wikipedia, there have been 500 revisions to the page since May 9, most of which have been made by one highly prolific editor.

That editor first started significantly changing the article in April, making additions that led another editor to say on the Kamala Harris "talk" page, "[y]ou seem to have gone through a database of press releases from Harris's office, cataloging every single one and adding it to the article. That is not how we write encyclopedic articles."

That user also removed information that was critical of Harris, with some other editors on the "talk" page objecting to changes regarding Harris' relationship with former California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown that were allegedly made "without adequate justification." Users also objected to changes related to Harris' record as an aggressive prosecutor, with one editor making a change on July 2 -- after The Intercept published its story -- saying they were "restoring more scrubbed well-sourced content. Just because it may be 'unflattering' doesn't mean it needs to be censored."

Yes, double amputee from her helicopter being shot down in Iraq.

[tdawg87]

Did he say she doesn't love America or something?

I don't really care tbh. I'm just asking.

She's a disabled vet, lost limbs in combat, who's just pointing out that his most patriotic accomplishment is running his stupid mouth in front of a tv camera for a ready-made audience

I keep asking and nobody can tell me why I should vote for Biden without mentioning Trump. I'm serious too 

Well I hate both of them, but here are a few reasons to vote for Biden:

• Biden will surely have a better response to COVID than Trump, he's had ample experience with pandemics in the previous administration.
• Biden will save the ACA which gives 26 million people health insurance, protects pre-existing conditions, and allows children to stay on their parents insurance till age 26.
• Biden says he will repeal the GOP tax cuts for the wealthy, and increase taxes on the rich.
• China trade war will finally end. 4 years later, and Americans have paid over 50 billion dollars in tariffs and farmers have had record bankruptcies.  
• The NATO alliance will be safe.
• Biden will know how to get the country out of yet another republican recession since he's had ample experience with that as well.
• Biden will appoint judges who are qualified instead of members of the GOP mafia.
• No more Betsy Devos who is trying to get rid of public education because she has investments in charter schools.
• America will no longer be the laughing stock of the world.

People do realize that Biden will be 78 in November?   No POTUS has ever been 78 at any point in their term(s), much less 78 beginning their first term.

Can we please get some younger candidates out there, that don't believe in totally redoing America?

Before people say they are going to vote for Biden.  People should really wait to see who his running mate is going to be.  This might be the most important vice presidency ever.  With his age, and smelling leg hairs with boneless ice cream, there is a good chance the vice will take over.  Lucky for Trump, he has someone that is more dangerous to the Libs than he is, so getting him out of office has really only been window dressing.

Yeah, but they don't like Tulsi.

This is exactly why I can't take this place serious.

But it does make me miss Lifetime and the rebuttal he would have for this.

Quote

The Southeastern center ordered hydroxychloroquine from a wholesale pharmacy in March and notified the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs when health-care workers started administering the drug in April, said Butera, the department’s deputy communications director. Darryl Jackson, the department’s chief medical officer, “ensured the medication was available in case the primary care providers at the homes felt that it was medically necessary,” Butera said in an email.

The Trump administration provided hydoxychloroquine to VA run nursing homes and allowed them to prescribe it as they see fit.  This was after the FDA said it should only be used in clinical trails or in hospitals with careful heart monitoring.  The results were devastating.

This administration is just completely incompetent.

Nothing in that quote says anything about the Trump administration involvement.

The VA falls under the umbrella of the POTUS.  The director is appointed by the POTUS.

Man, some of you Libs go to great lengths to put things on Trump that make zero sense.

Fucking hilarious.

It's their narrative to blame him for everything. Literally everything.

Car doesn't start in the morning, blame it on Trump. He said something nice about the company in 2010.

Zero accountability.

Director Wilkie wasn't mentioned in your quote and only one area chapter ordered the medicine independently. This is only one center of hundreds and not a mandate for all veterans centers from the V.A. Administration. 

It appears you cant differentiate between individual decisions and those that are chain of command.

I'm think some liberals here may have some Trump hatred blinders on.
