Again, where are the American flag overalls, Kamala merchandise and divisive hate speech?

Had some guy this morning on instagram tell me that he will never vote for Kamala because she has no leadership skills and lacks experience, my reply was basically, Vance has 170 days of any sort of senate experience, Trump had zero experience and we all suffered because of it, Harris has 20 years experience and leadership from being a prosecutor to senator, she made Brett Kavangh lose is crap on live TV and made two seperate Trump attorney generals look like little children who wet their pants.
I dont consider, getting on twitter or X whatever its called now for 4 years whining about a politican, talking about how great he is, leadership, thats self promotion and being a child, signing executive orders isnt leadership, especially when most did nothing, Trump promised a wall that Mexico would pay for, didnt happen, much of the wall that was built was poorly made and some have fallen down, most of what is being built now is private funded which i wonder who is funding that, he went to war with China over tarrifs, he lost, he failed miserably during the pandemic, he promised he would never play around of golf, instead he played every single weekend of his presidency, he emboldened Putin and North Korea, he made side deals with Saudi Arabia ( asked his son in law about that $2 Billion check they gave him) and oh, he lied to thousands of white extremists that the election he lost was stolen and they all came to washington to make sure he would not leave, sorry thats not leadership, thats a dictator who prays on peoples hate and racism

Sounds like the same stupid talking points I had to deal with. Harris has far more political experience than Trump and Vance combined by herself. And it’s not like Joe Biden was given enough credit for having the longest career experience of perhaps anyone in U.S. history.

Why it matters Kamala Harris isn’t afraid to say the word "abortion"

Pro-abortion advocates say Vice President Harris is running the most "unapologetic campaign on abortion rights"

www.salon.com

I still remember when being all-in on abortion could be politically ending in some cases. Times sure change.

Exclusive poll: Harris opens up early edge with young voters

see if it holds or even expands, she will need every vote she can get, which is the issue with young voters, typically very unreliable.

Read an articial that Trump thinks he can hurt Harris on the border, saying she is very weak on that issue, i still cant fully grasp why the border is so important, especially to states no where near it, plus the Biden administration took action, cutting border entry by 48% and the only people whining about the border are white republicans.

I believe that Politico article that said he would debate her was a meeting about immigration for the Trump campaign, which means this is probably very true.

Biden had a strong border bill but Republicans blocked it because Trump told them too.

I'm pretty sure this should kill the "weak on border" talking point from Republicans.

Is there a way we can take Mike Bloomberg's idea of biometric Social Security cards into a positive by pairing it with a more streamlined immigration process?

Harris condemns flag burning, 'dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric' at protests against Netanyahu speech

Manhattan prosecutors dispute Trump claim that criminal conviction should be overturned – as it happened

This blog has now closed. You can read our full report on Kamala Harris’ meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu here

www.theguardian.com

Kamala Harris has condemned the protesters who burned an American flag and sprayed pro-Hamas graffiti outside Union Station in Washington DC, as Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Congress at the Capitol nearby:

Yesterday, at Union Station in Washington DC we saw despicable acts by unpatriotic protesters and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric.

I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews. Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric is abhorrent and we must not tolerate it in our nation.

I condemn the burning of the American flag. That flag is a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation and represents the promise of America. It should never be desecrated in that way.

I support the right to peacefully protest, but let’s be clear: antisemitism, hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation.

Mostly an easy lay-up.

But not condemned: The multi-time indicted far right mass murderer liar and land stealer current leader of Israel.

House passes factually wobbly Republican resolution condemning Harris's immigration policies​

The House just approved a Republican-backed resolution condemning Kamala Harris for her handling of immigration, and specifically her actions as the Biden administration’s “border czar” – despite the fact that she never really held that job.

In the days since Joe Biden stepped aside and Harris announced her bid for the presidency, Republicans have sought to steer the ire of voters uncomfortable with undocumented migrants towards the vice-president, by saying she was given the job of securing the southern border.

But as PolitiFact notes, the president in fact tasked Harris with addressing root causes of migration in Central American nations, not stopping migrants from entering the United States. From their fact check:

The Republican National Committee said Biden appointed Harris “to be his border czar to deal with illegal immigration ... Harris was put in charge of stopping illegal immigration.”
Biden tasked Harris with addressing the root causes that drive migration to the United States. He did not task her with controlling who and how many people enter the southern US border. That’s the Homeland Security secretary’s responsibility.
Experts say that seeing the results of addressing root causes driving people out of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras – violence, economic insecurity and corruption – takes time.
The statement contains an element of truth, but it ignores critical facts that would give a different impression. We rate it Mostly False.

The resolution passed with 220 votes in favor and 196 opposed. Six Democrats voted for it, all of whom represent swing districts.

The idea of open borders is scary to to those who don't know all the facts. Fear sells.

Conservatives have been selling racism/fear to white people and voters for hundreds of years here in North America and that's what it's all about.

I know, when things arent going well, republicans pull out the brown people/immigrant card, W did it when they didnt find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, he pivoted to to many immigrants in California and the news bought into it, believe i read that Nixon was the first to fully embrace the border as a political fear tool

Racism. Its always racism.

That "compromise" bill was a bad bill, and it needed to die. That the Democrats thought they needed it for the election does not make it better for some of the Republican **** in there.

True, but Kamala could always weaponize it as Republicans put party before their country as a counter on Trump.

Get the Britney fans on side... we literally kept Justin Timberlake from the top spot because his new single shared the same title as one Britney's old songs.

The pettiness is strong with us.
