Trump’s Latest Scheme to Beat Harris May Have Crossed Legal Lines
newrepublic.com

He may not be in office, but Donald Trump has been speaking with the powers that be about Israel’s war on Gaza—but it’s not in an effort to end the genocide.

Instead, Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November, according to PBS.

“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”

Hey, lookit that, I'm learning how to summon them!

Who defended Biden? I pointed out how y'all seem exceedingly quiet on the matter, and what's your response? "Buh-buh-buh-Biden buh-buh-buh-bad!" I'll give ya one thing, you're as predictable as a Swiss watch.

Yes, you typically get responses from people when you bring them up.

Who's silent on this? Of course it's evil, it's expected though and everyone recognizes that it's evil.

We speak about genocide Joe because we have hope that the Democratic party will listen, like Obama said last night,

We start thinking that the only way to win is to scold and shame and outyell the other side. And after a while, regular folks just tune out, or don't bother to vote at all.

That approach may work for the politicians who just want attention and thrive on division. But it won't work for us. To make progress on the things we care about, the things that really affect people's lives, we need to remember that we've all got our blind spots and contradictions and prejudices; and that if we want to win over those who aren't yet ready to support our candidate, we need to listen to their concerns—and maybe learn something in the process

Who did i name in this thread? I mentioned the genocide Joe crowd, and someone said "here." So, perhaps they felt called out..? Dunno, can't say.
