I’m just wondering if I should prepare by improving my Spanish for El Salvador, or Arabic for Libya… Ah… But Harris’s laugh and mUh bOTh SiDeS.

Fucker both looks and acts like Putin.

Yeah that is fair and I should’ve elaborated this as the Trump Administration. As in, Trump doesn’t care because he both successfully ran from prison, and is now able to golf pretty much all he wants. If anything he probably resents America for refusing to vote for him in 2020. So now all the pilot fish surrounding Trump who helped get him elected for their own end are reaping their end of the bargain.

So naturally you’ve got the Russian assets (Gabbard, Flynn, Trump himself), the zealots like Mike Johnson and Stephen Miller, the corporate oligarchical opportunists like Musk. The power-hungry (like Trump’s sons, JDV, etc.), and so on. It’s a big fuck-you to America and it ultimately matters little to me whether it’s Trump or the broader Republican party. As far as I’m concerned they all made this; they all enabled it. They are criminal cartel.

The way I see, Trump’s the Trump Administration’s motives are:

(1) Plunder the government of anything of value.

(2) Cause a recession so rich can buy everything up on the market.

(3) Sabotage America geopolitically on behalf of foreign adversaries, most notably Russia.

(4) Cement power in their control and go after any rivals.

Edit: For clarification, I don’t think it really matters what part of this is Trump himself versus the people he surrounds himself with and permits as the executive to do what they’re doing in their own personal agendas that align with one or more of these 4 points.

This absolute imbecilic Russian operative has been using a single-word password, “shraddha” for her devices for years… And now Russia has their spy in the central seat overseeing all intelligence assets in the USA. Fucking absurd.

Putting a convicted conman back into the WH and as leader of a wider organized crime group, the GOP. What could possibly go wrong?

No? He’s closer to Canada’s Obama.

Beautiful.

Multiple events canceled. Harris campaign must seize on this.

Don’t you think he looks tired?

Finally. A sensible decision.

I’ve been watching politics for decades and have been on both sides of the political spectrum.

Nearly every politician is instructed to “answer the question you wish they had asked first.” Why? Because, usually, interviewers especially on Fox News are not interested in asking legitimately good questions, but rather asking “gotcha” questions to drum up attention. This was not a good faith interview by Fox by any means. Some of these questions are Loaded, which answering directly either yes/no can be framed negatively with clips later on.

That being said, if you’ve watched as many Harris interviews as I have, she has a tendency to first answer the question broadly by giving context, and then usually circles back to the question at hand.

As the other user said, a professional interviewer acting in good with will still let the politician finish their train of thought — or even finish their sentence — before circling back to the question if they felt it wasn’t answered directly enough.

I’m seeing a wide array of opinions - r/conservative, while not swing voters are also not liberal voters, claim she was destroyed. I haven’t watched enough to say.

All due respect but who gives a flying fuck what r/conservative thinks? The problem is they don’t think. They’re cheering for their side and would lick dogshit if the pile said Dems bad. They have a clear motive to frame everything as Donald being perfect and Harris stumbling at every turn.

Idk how any swing voter doesn’t come away from that interview thinking Harris did very well, and the interviewer was beyond incompetent with his interruptions.

The Moca cognitive test is a complete joke.

I’ve seen older family members have to take a neuropsych exam that lasted 6-8 hours and there’s no spoofing that.

Harris should hound Trump to take it.

Carte blanche for the defender to commit as many atrocities in return, is that right?

The dude is getting absolutely destroyed in fundraising.

Supporting the exercising of worker’s rights != exercising them effectively.

Again, they were short-sighted.

You said it hits them “hardest,” but how do you know it doesn’t hit the poor and middle class down the pipeline harder, comparatively? What you’re talking about is profits; what I’m talking about is clothing and food for actual people and a raising of bottom-line prices. Make no mistake — the consequence of such a strike comes at the cost of holding those down the line hostage. Naturally the shareholders tend to have a rainy-day fund in order to ride out the storm. Naturally the wealthy can weather such storms easier than the poor and middle class, yes?

In fact this goes back to this very strike covered in this submission, in which Biden pointed out to the nnion that their strike would effect… Who? Those impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Hardest is therefore relative.

Biden said he is not giving up on paid sick leave for rail workers and other Americans who don’t receive such benefits. But he made it clear that he was not prepared to see freight trains stopped and food, water, clothing, and holiday gifts stranged in empty depots.

This mind you as we were just getting past the worst of the covid pandemic. Do you have any source to suggest this would impact the shareholders “the hardest”?

Reminder that yet again — this per Bernie Sanders — the expanded sick leave for all rail workers was obstructed by Republicans. Screwing over Democrats during election season is, again, short-sighted. Perhaps those unions from the Teamsters to the longshoremen should rally to get Republicans out of the way?
