While it might not turn folks on to Harris, it should definitely put them off Trump, and I think I’m right in saying Harris is ahead in the polls in Michigan, which is the state with the highest Muslim voting populace, even before this dropped last night Nixon did the exact same thing in '68. A ceasefire in Vietnam would have helped Humphrey win the election, and so Nixon managed to convince the South Vietnamese to walk away from the peace talks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Wasn't Reagan supposed to have made a deal to keep the Iran hostage affair going until after the election in 1980? I guess this is just standard bullshit that these psychos pull because being in power is more important than people's lives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Attempting to pin the lack of a ceasefire deal on Trump is both laughable and pretty low by the Democrats here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I remember from the Reagan Presidency (apart from the very close assassination attempt) was the Air Traffic controllers strike. Reagan said if you strike I will fire you. The controllers went on strike and Reagan fired them all. A no bullshit kind of politician - I do wish some of our senior politicians showed the same type of direct action instead of taking the knee. -13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Dawson Park Bigot was very keen on Reagan's approach to labour relations too. It's done wonders for America in the decades since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netanyahu knows his political career is over as soon as the war ends, and will likely go to jail, so he doesn't need any prompting from Trump. It sounds exactly like the kind of thing Trump would try though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job done as temporary deflection for the genocide enablers currently partying in Chicago though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 The only surprise is the Jaffa Japester hasn't been making direct public pleas for Israel to keep bombing the shit out of Arab kids, as if Kamabla wins she'll support Hamas because she's an Arab, and a radical leftist terrorist, and maybe trans, and once blew out the candles at Kwanzaa (or whatever you people do instead of Christmas). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Farter Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Ta-Nehisi Coates was an influential commentator who stepped out of the limelight a few years back. He stepped back into the limelight yesterday with this opinion, which is worth a read: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/dnc-2024-palestine-israel Israeli-Americans were invited to speak at this conference about their family loss. Palestinian-Americans were not. A Republican is speaking tonight on the stage. They'd probably sooner have Trump himself address this audience than allow for a Palestinian-American to humanise their dead relatives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Certain SCOTUS justices not even trying to appear impartial any more. https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/supreme-court-republican-rnc-arizona-voting-law-rcna167243 If Harris wins hopefully Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch pop their clogs quite soon thereafter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarence Thomas in particular is a real piece of work. Totally corruptible and pretty open about only being in the job for the backhanders that he gets from the wealthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Hearing from a pollster on Newsnight that the key to the whole thing is Latino voters in the seven swing states, more of them are undecided apparently. So should Harris announce tonight that she'll invade Cuba or stop the sanctions? It's on these frail threads that American elections are decided by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
