#Vermont holding its #GOP Lt. Gov. debate. This guy is the Trumper running. He was in DC for the insurrection on Jan. 6. Maybe if #Democrats in Congress would have gone harder at guys like this instead of exclusively focusing on going after #Trump he wouldn’t have this platform tonight. #GOP#Republicans
“A ‘*horrendous* #police dog attack that severely wounded a pregnant Indianapolis woman did not violate her constitutional rights because she wasn’t the dog’s intended target, a federal judge has ruled.’
If #Trump had the power to end all elections he’d need the aid and assistance of many organizations of governance. A dictatorship requires sanction by an oligarchy. Despite his own hubris, Trump could not do it himself regardless of what fear-mongers tell you.
But if the US really has an oligarchic, even fascist, system (which I believe it does), then electing one Democrat won’t stop a dictatorship from happening. Electing Biden did not stop Trumpism in US policy. Electing #Harris won’t either.
“Live now from al-Aqsa Hosputal in Deir al Balah in central #Gaza, following the third Israeli bombardment of a school sheltering thousands of displaced civilians. In the photo are apparently a parent and their child.”
I can choose to see a bump in fundraising as an unprecedented groundswell. Or I can choose to see it as a sign of Democrat desperation after #Biden gutted their reelection chances.
Will #KamalaHarris discontinue the memorandums of understanding #Biden used to supply #Israel with 500 lbs bombs that blow off the heads and limbs of women and children? If not, her heart doesn’t break enough.
Yeah, I’m gonna need her policy solutions, her plan of action besides *cannot look away* before I vote.
“VP: What has happened in #Gaza over the past nine months is devastating. The images of dead children and desperate hungry people fleeing for safety sometimes displaced for the second, third, or fourth time. We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies”
#Biden set the bar so low by denying #Israel was killing #children that when #Harris utters the words “images of dead children” it gets spun as a heroic paradigm shift. Finally doing the right thing is not heroic.
Welp. There’s the veer right, setting the table for her confab with #Netanyahu today. I was hoping for her break with #Biden, but it looks like #Harris is going full Zionist.
It’s becoming obvious to me, given today’s smear of anti-#Netanyahu protesters, that #KamalaHarris has as little interest in attracting Arab-American voters as #Biden did. Unless she picks Whitmer, I’d say she’s writing off #Michigan to #Trump. It appears she learned nothing from the Michigan primary and the spring student protests.
“The clothes are cleaned for the prime minister free of charge by the U.S. staff, a perk that is available to all foreign leaders but sparingly taken advantage of given the short stays of busy heads of state.
‘The Netanyahus are the only ones who bring actual suitcases of dirty laundry for us to clean,’ said one U.S. official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the details of a foreign leader's visits.”
#Democrats shouldn’t start acting like their nomination process is open and democratic. We see the superdelegates. We see the wealthy donors. We see the way the primaries were sandbagged.
To pretend that endorsements of #Harris by the power brokers don’t matter today insults our intelligence. It’s their turn. Stop your cynical appeals to the democratic process.
