Keisha Lance Bottoms, the Atlanta mayor, finds herself here: at the helm of a city wrestling with the fatal shooting of a black man by a police officer during a national crisis over racial injustice and at the center of speculation for the country's second highest office. Since the weekend, Bottoms and her administration have been dealing with the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks by an Atlanta police officer, which has engulfed the city and prompted the immediate resignation of Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields, the firing of the officer who shot Brooks and new protests in the city.

She is toast now that the DA has charged, without an investigaiton, a white cop with capital murder of a known felon resiting arrest and even firing a weapon at a cop. Biden can write the white male vote off and the biggest gender gap, white males, is about to get bigger.

Wait until this weekend starting Friday. Juneteenth is always a mess but I think it will be far worse this year with blacks thinking they can now get away with anything. If I were the cops I'd stay as far away as possible.

No matter what happens, Bottoms had never better allow Joseph Biden to stand behind her bottom or she might start experiencing Biden, “just being Joe” by “innocently” and repeatedly bumping against her Bottom!

The message has gone out loud and clear to the police on the street: don't use any kind of force, because Keisha is auditioning to be POTUS-in-Waiting. Expect the kind of disastrous police disengagement that Baltimore has seen since the Freddie Gray fiasco.

Not that Biden needs another anchor attached to his foot but selecting a black person for the VP slot at this point in their popularity will guarantee his loss with or without cheating.

I don't see her being chosen, not with her last name coupled with pervy Joe's reputation, and not with what is going on right now. Biden Bottoms is not a ticket I want to see outside a parody satire movie.

She should have gone into the music business like her father. Not only is she not vice-presidential material, she's an inept, blatantly anti-white, racist mayor.

So all you need to qualify to run this country (we all know Biden won't be doing it) is to be a Councilwoman? Wow! I agree with #1. There is going to be fallout from her charging this Police Officer. That said, I think there should be a major Blue Flu epidemic in the Inner Cities on Junteenth! I sure wouldn't take the chance that I would be the next police officer to be charged with Murder and have my life ruined! I would spend the day looking for a Job in a Red State!

Keisha Lance Bottoms? Don't know much about her but am just glad that we could finally have a Native American in the White House.

Sadly, Atlanta, once the "capitol" of the South, is quickly become Detroit, circa 2020.

The city of Atlanta will soon turn into one big Chaz thanks to totally inept and corrupt racist leadership. I live in a northern suburb, so let it burn.

She does not have a chance in Atlanta hell. Being one hearbeat away has never been more serious for the dems and an insider will be the VP candidate. My bet is on the black woman who was the most brazen liar defending benghazi back in the day.

I have a [former work] friend in Atlanta and would like to reach out to her but am afraid to. She is black.

She can ditch the jean jackets and the bus-stop hair and dress like an adult for starters.

A slogan writer's dream. Biden Loves Bottoms. Rock Bottom at least is as qualified as Spacey Stacy Abrams. And unlike Stacy she apparently shows up at a salad bar. I'll cut back on the insults as just say she is out of her element as a mayor so imagine her as president.

Everyone in Atlanta is trying to figure out why botton of the barrel Bottoms hasnt supported even ONE of her officers, since the racial bs began re Floyd. The only bogey on radar to explain it, is she thinks if she cowtows to the misfits/rioters she becomes a VP-possible darling in the eyes of Democrat party and Biden. Meanwhile, her lapdog DA Paul Howard is Mr Yes and going after every officer that harmed a black person, no matter what the precedence. It was painful to hear Howard explain his rational for going after Officer Rolfe. Howard also lied when he claimed Rolfe's partner is turning states evidence. By charging Rolfe before the GBI completes any investigation, it's obvious Howard's announcement to prosecute Rolfe is political. The message is clear: The Deep State now has zero tolerance for any cop killing a black person, no matter what justification, written law, says. They are out to crucify anyone who does. Ulitimately they must want police to go away so they can turn this nation into a communist society.

I don't think she has good judgement. Trump is a working man's President. He has creating jobs for any one that wants one. He did this by cutting taxes and reducing regulations that stalled the business community. These were the works of Barack Obama, which resulted.in years of economic malaise. Joe Biden will reverse all that Trump did, and we'll be going back to the malaise. Apparently she wants this.

Black lives may or may not matter but race certainly does. A few years back I was walking to lunch in Pittsburgh with a black friend and we passed a small anti-Trump rally that consisted mostly of AA people. They ignored me but scheeched holy hell at him for walking with a white guy. It took him a while to get over it.

I was not a police officer but my Father was the dispatcher for our fire and police in my small hometown. He taught me to respect the police and with nearly ever Friend my Father had being either a cop or a fireman I learned much about the law growing up even though I chose to be a fireman. Even the police are arresting a previously charged felon that then resists arrest, takes down two officers, steals a weapon from one and fired it at another cop, he deserves to suffer the consequences, no matter the race of the police officers or the felon.
