Kamala Devi Harris is ruling the internet, thanks to the fact that she is the vice presidential nominee for the hugely anticipated American elections. She is not only the first black and South Asian American woman chosen for a national position by a major political party of USA, but she is also the most effortlessly stylish woman in the American politics.
The politician is known for her pussy-bow blouses and classy pantsuits and now, the lawyer and senator is hitting the headlines for rocking canvas shoes like nobody.
Kamala recently visited Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a campaign and flaunted a navy blazer, fitted jeans along with a black top. But, it was her pair of canvas shoes that grabbed all the eyeballs, for being too cool for school!
The senator was spotted wearing a pair of low-rise black Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes which are known to be one of the most comfortable low shoes in the world. What's more, they are versatile, timeless and cost only INR 4,000 approximately.

My daughter was friends with a guy who worked for Converse. She got her Chucks for free. That’s better than cheaper.
I remember those. The cool kids all wore Red Ball Jets.
Back then we wore them for tile roofing.
Best grip for walking on the slick tiles.
CANVAS SHOES’ HEELS UP!
Amazing how Wonder Woman bounced back from such a humiliating and devastating defeat in the primaries. Of course she takes back all the vicious things she said about her running mate during the primaries. A few people might have actually been convinced that she really meant them. But she wears cool shoes, and that’s all that really matters.
This is so impotent...yep.
(Not a misprint)
Facebook will ban you for saying it, too.
Irony: they violated their rules on not undermining women with sexist pieces going “Ooh, so sexy, look at her clothes!”
Ah, yeah, NO.
From Wikipedia regarding Converse All Stars:
Chuck Taylor All-Stars or Converse All Stars (also referred to as "Converse", "Chuck Taylors", "Chucks", "Cons", and "All Stars") is a model of casual shoe manufactured by Converse (a subsidiary of Nike, Inc. since 2003) that was initially developed as a basketball shoe in the early 20th century. The design of the Chuck Taylor All Star has remained largely unchanged since its introduction in the 1920s. The shoe consists of a stitched upper portion, a toe cap that is usually made of white rubber, and a sole that is usually made of brown rubber. Although Chuck Taylors are made of various materials such as leather, the original and most widely known version of the shoe is made from cotton canvas. The innovative detail of the original shoe was the "loose lining" of soft canvas that was intended to provide flexibility and prevent blisters.Great thread about the horizontal assistant Senator, Libloather.
I wore them in the sixties along with mybwhite Levi’s and Pendelton shirts. It was surf style!
One votes for a candidate because of shoes ?
How about this ?

HERE’S HOW THEY TREAT CONSERVATIVE CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS WHO DONT SUPPORT STUFF LIKE THIS
And why there is no such thing as a Conservative Dem in Congress an example is Illinois 3rd district
Todays Democrats weren’t happy with his funding votes against abortion and on being the only congressional democrat to vote NO on allowing men to to call themselves a women and compete with women in college sports.
Those who live in Chicago already voted at their local public library. But in the reshaped 3rd Congressional district Daniel Lipinski lost because of redistricting. Of a district which had previously included adjacent Chicago city wards to his 23rd.
That was a district where those city wards were predominatly composed of traditional value family oriented Catholic/Christian communities opposed to funding such things as abortion and LGBT activities rather that dealt exclusively with city issues such as a subway L service and the Stevenson Expressway. Those Wards were reliable William O Lipinski supporters of Dan’s father. But since most had areas with hispanic last names those areas were redistricted and assigned to the Gutieriez’s district. Those results are posted below which actually tear up the concept of a neighborhood and pit people against each other by using division.In some of those wards areas of city blocks which were zoned exclusively for single family dwellings residents suddenly found their neighborhood having houses torn down and being replaced with multiple apartments with the units not required to furnish parking facilities and many renters were illegals. Much of which fit the plans for the suburbs

COULD THIS BE WHY CHICAGOANS ARE SEEING RATS ?
The city of Chicago is composed of 50 wards which average out to around 72 precincts of about 350 or more voters in each precinct. Many are former villages incorporated into the city as the city grew. . A Chicago Alderman is in effect a mini mayor. They have input into who gets city services and now it’s how those services are being administered seem to be running into; Who’s ward is it ?.
What’s not being looked at is how Chicago wards have been redistricted. Chicago has had neighborhoods divided to create “Hispanic”residential sections going to Hispanic aldermanic and congressional (Gutierez) candidates and blacks going to black candidates.Which apparently is the result of the turnover in the Freddie and Fanny mortgage collapse.
As stable integrated areas changed into being unstable because of constant dwelling turnover.had the effect of breaking up a contiguous geographic continuity and community identity. Because the wards affected which are really like small towns have had sections broken up into areas where if a problem arises in a given section of street which has one way traffic only. It may be two way a block down because it’s in a different ward.
The same applies to all other city services including zoning where serving socialist ideologic political purposes single dwelling units are removed and replaced by multiple high rise apartments complicating city services such as sanitation where garbage collection routes are organized by ward boundaries. Which disrupts living style where that is permitted to happen.
50 year Alderman Burke who is under federal charges for corruption ward is an example. Burke’s ward ,14th, needed remapping . The 14th was originally known as “Back of The Yards” Once the home of the famous Chicago Stock Yards where most food processors along with employee demographics have since relocated. It was a compact area almost 15 plus city blocks square area composed mostly of single and 2 story frame and brick family dwellings mixed with scattered brick apartment units. Because of the construction, insurance rates varied and became known as the condemned as “redlining”. When the democrats also warily supported by the Bush 2 administration came up with the no 20% down mortgage removed. Areas in the ward dramatically changed in demographics. Many of those dwellings sold under those conditions went into disrepair or default.
Originally his ward headquarters and palace was on 51st street just west of Damen Avenue. Today’s palace is just off of Pulaski Road near the Madam Curie high school just off of Archer Avenue miles away.
His ward now consists of areas carved from parts of the 12th (known as Mc Kinley Park and Brighton Park) and parts of the 23rd (known as Archer Heights Garfield Ridge and Clearing) wards Miles from the original 14th That In a former section of the 23rd ward now the 14th ward in the Midway airport area, 2 patrons in a local bar along Archer avenue were heard complaining about rats in their garbage. They felt it was because of the delay in garbage collection. Also heard the same beef about street snow removal. It has also played hell on zoning and because of the disruption of jurisdictions with the administration of city services such as streets and sanitation which the alderman (salary $120.000 plus allocations on local projects) do oversee and have input over.
By.employing this concept of remapping are residents are being denied the representation they should have ?
I wore Converse® Jack Purcell oxfords... an actual tennis shoe, Chucks were more of a basketball or gym shoe.
Later I switched to K-swiss.
Snort......When I was a kid only the kids that couldn’t afford Nikes or Pumas wore Converse. I wore a lot of Converses - when I got older and could afford it I bought a pair of Pumas and found out they hurt like crazy and left my feet in blisters.
This is satire, right?
