    @JEDI-SOLO in case you missed this in all those other comments, it'd be quite helpful if you could shine some light on this one since you brought it up

    Likely not gonna happen, @Lowbacca_1977. Probably just trolling.

    This really isn't true, or anywhere close to the truth.

    So, I was reading backwards, and trying to understand how we would get to such a bizarre summary statement. By this point, I really should have known whose posts you were referring to.

    Why not? It's true that Obama was an illegal President. I mean, not being born in the US, and all.

    Few things sicken me more than the far right positions on immigration, especially since the reason people are seeking to come here in the first place is we took everything of value they had and overthrew their governments so that those countries had no path to success.

    You break it, you bought it.

    Harris' speech after meeting with Netanyahu is to the left of virtually any comment made by people related to Biden's administration. We need to give credit where credit is due.

    Concerning her written statement, it is ridiculous to expect Harris not to condemn vandalism and the celebration of Hamas.
    I understand criticizing her from the left, but it should be done within the boundary of what can be reasonably expected from her, considering that she is still Biden's VP.

    She criticizes antisemitism and Hamas support in the same statement as she's criticizing the protesters. This gives the impression that all protesters are Hamas supporters and antisemitic. Don't lie and tell me that it doesn't. I'm sick of the lies some of you people post

    "You people"? Who the hell do you think you are talking to? I'm tired of your childish "us vs them" approach to every conversation. I've been vocal about my disgust for Biden's handling of Gaza on a daily basis. Do better.

    She condemned the pro-Hamas protestors and actions whilst simultaneously reflecting and voicing many of the other issues raised by the protestors. I think her statements were fine, and were appropriate for someone trying to win a general election and prevent what will be a far worse situation if Trump wins office. I understand the white hot anger about how Biden has handled the situation, but Harris has a line she has to walk on the issue if she has any hope.

    Excellent! You've effectively shown us a false equivalence! Thank you for your service.

    Again, her sentence is right there. The grammar is unambiguous. She condemned people who identified themselves with Hamas, not accused anyone of other sorts of connection. I appreciate that you are passionate about this topic and, in general, have tried to point the JCC towards some important considerations. It is equally evident that, in specific, you are wrong about what Kamala Harris has said and done today.

    Though her first remarks a day or two before missed the opportunity I thought she made up for it well enough with her speech after meeting Netanyahu. If we can get a ceasefire first, maybe charges can be brought upon Netanyahu after; one thing at a time. And I have to say, as VP she has been out of the public eye for the most part but here she is now in the forefront with "this is your next President" written all over her.

    Forgive me, I didn't want to go back and reread the thread a few pages again. The Obamas did endorse her. There's this, um, kind of odd commercial. I mean, it;s ok it's just too staged a thing perhaps.

    I agree with you, yet whenever I think about the challenge of having to win WI, MI and PA just to eke out a narrow and divisive 270-268 electoral victory, it emphasizes how little room she has for unforced errors like that statement yesterday.

    Unfortunately you are correct here. If there is one thing the Left likes to do is eat itself. There is now a whole slew of new voters who signed up, and how much would it take for them to get pissed and stay out of it.

    The GOP is really going to erase that they killed a bipartisan border bill at the last minute because Trump told them that would hurt Biden’s election chances? Remember that?

    The sting operation that just led to the capture of one of heads of the major Mexican drug cartels doesn't bode well for the "border crisis" attack by Team Trump.

    Simple: erase the Palestinians. Trump has not qualms on that one.

    Funny how Republicans crow about Biden having dementia when it's plainly clear how their entire party's memory deficit is easily on par with a bad case of Alzheimer's.

    I'm dumbfounded by the fact that the Dems are not talking about this every single second. They should hammer this home as much as they are talking about Project 2025. I would not shut up about it, ever.

    In other news: I saw this when I woke up today

    https://variety.com/2024/biz/news/n...-7-million-kamala-harris-campaign-1236085318/

    Reed Hastings, executive chairman of Netflix, donated $7 million to a super PAC supporting VP Kamala Harris’ presidential election campaign — the largest single campaign contribution the streaming mogul has ever made, Variety has confirmed.


    Of course, all I see now are videos of Republicans cancelling their Netlfix subscriptions.
