I’ll be so happy when this election is over. It’s bringing out the stupidity from both sides, black and white.

Then again, Rome and Egypt both fell from within.

Yes he did.

“I do very well with women. I’m going to protect you. I’m not going to let prisoners come out from Venezuela, Congo, and the Middle East.”

What do you mean by both sides?

Black and white aren’t two different sides fighting against each other.



And Dems and Republicans are not even nearly equally “stupid” such as to be “both sides”. This whole rhetoric is dumb and regressive.

You’re of the belief he considers immigrant prisoners to be pleasant people?

Do you consider immigrant prisoners pleasant people? All of a sudden you’re wording it differently.

Nah, it’s you that’s trying to spin the narrative. The verbiage from Drumpf’s mouth supports the Rupar tweet. It’s you who needs to explain what your thoughts are about the people he was talking about. When you quote me next time, if you don’t, you’re solidifying that you believe immigrant criminals are pleasant people.

So I didn’t watch as I was working still but read the interview with Kamala went well tonight.

Trump allies threaten Deloitte contracts after employee leaks Vance comments

Donald Trump Jr leads charge to penalize consultancy firm after critical messages about his father were made public

www.theguardian.com

The Republican nominee’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, led the warnings of retribution after the Washington Post published correspondence that showed Vance expressing negative views about the Trump administration long after he claimed he had become a supporter. The correspondence also showed Vance forecasting – accurately – that the former president would lose the 2020 election to Joe Biden.


Ethics experts seized on the threats to punish Deloitte for the actions of an individual employee and warned that it might be a harbinger of how a second Trump administration would use its power over the federal government.

Behind the scenes: Two U.S. officials told Axios that during a call on Friday White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told Israel's minister for strategic affairs Ron Dermer that the U.S. expects "clarity and transparency" from Israel about its plans to retaliate against Iran because it will have implications for U.S. forces and interests in the region.

• Sullivan was signaling that if the U.S. doesn't know what the Israelis are planning to do, it wouldn't automatically be on board to help defeat another Iranian missile attack against Israel, one official said.
• The U.S. officials admit that the U.S. would very likely help Israel defend itself regardless.
• The officials said Dermer stressed that Israel wants to coordinate with the U.S., but they added that the Biden administration questions how much it can trust that to be the case.
• Another U.S. official said the discussions with the Israeli government regarding Iran have been constructive.
• The White House declined to comment. The Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC didn't respond to a request for comment.

Driving the news: U.S. officials say the Biden administration has been surprised several times recently by Israeli military or intelligence operations.

• In some cases, the U.S. wasn't consulted or notified in advance. Or, it was given a heads up as Israeli jets were already on their way to conduct an airstrike somewhere in the Middle East.
• The Israelis didn't tell the Biden administration in advance about the dramatic move to assassinate Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
• Moreover, it took place several days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told President Biden in the Oval Office that he was going to take steps to make progress toward a deal with Hamas to release the hostages they are holding and establish a ceasefire in Gaza.

The U.S. was also in the dark about Israel's plans to remotely detonate pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon and the assassination of the militia's leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut.

I don't know what Biden expected...

Wholeheartedly trusting Bibi was a blunder, and it has been said as soon as the conflict started.

These types of people are the absolute ******* WORST. Just sowing chaos just because, with no real direction on where they want things to go. All they know is what they *don't* want.

As awful as they are, at least the ultra MAGA folks stand on their idiotic principles. These Stein clowns are in it just to look edgy and different.
