Democratic presidential nomineeĀ Kamala Harris stopped her fans from getting too wild with theirĀ Trump bashing at a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday.

On the second day of her battleground blitz with running mateĀ Tim Walz, when she got to the point in her now-familiar stump speech about her days prosecuting predators, fraudsters and scammers, supporters, like those inĀ Philadelphia on Tuesday, were just starting to chant ā€œlock him upā€ when Harris deviated from the script.

ā€œWell, hold on,ā€ she said, holding out her hand as if to placate the crowd in Eau Claire, Wisc. ā€œYou know what, the courts are going to handle that part of it. What weā€™re gonna do is beat him in November.ā€

    A classical grammatical rule says: ā€œA sentence must express a complete thought, be able to be written down, and speakable in one breath,ā€ which makes a hell of a lot more sense once you get the context of oration.

      Interesting, because a lot of literature from 150 years ago breaks the hell out of that rule. Like authors were one upping each other to see how long they can get away with not using a period.
