The Obamas Endorse Harris: 'This Is Going to Be Historic'
  • The problem is there was Pro Hamas stuff at the protest. They have the pictures. Which pretty neatly traps most politicians into having to disavow it because Hamas does horrific shit too. Seeing those pictures, her statement absolutely tracks as correct.

  • 'It is time for this war to end,' Harris tells Netanyahu; 'I will not be silent' on Palestinian suffering
  • Rhetoric is a tool. But the powers of the presidency go well beyond them. A think tank spokesman is a rhetorical position. The president is a CEO. And I doubt you have the inside scoop on their specific working relationship. If you did and you were posting about it here then it would be news.

    Saying she has to move Biden or else she's complicit is just trying to guilt her by association. The only concrete thing she could do is resign and that's political suicide in the US.

  • 'It is time for this war to end,' Harris tells Netanyahu; 'I will not be silent' on Palestinian suffering
  • That's not how that works. Biden has very real power, not just rhetorical. For example he can deploy the military wherever he wants for 60 days. He can direct an agency to only do half of it's job. (Trump famously removed all the furniture from the office meant to help people find immigration detainees) If you're not American then think of him as a prime minister/CEO. The Vice President gets a portfolio from the president. Without that their only job is to break ties in the Senate and stay alive.

    Some administrations have had a division of labor for whipping votes, but that is primarily the job of the party whip and leader for each chamber.

  • It's a completely different situation. The entire paradigm was Israel's setup. In order for your analogue to work we'd have to have been completely blockading Japan for a decade, not just refusing to sell them oil. And we'd have to have interfered with their elections, refusing to let the winner actually take office. And we'd need decades of history where we wantonly murdered them for their land.

    If you want to talk about American settlers in the old west, that would be the direct comparison. This is a tale we've seen before. And we're determined to stop it this time.

  • Trump backs out of debate as camp says it's 'inappropriate to schedule things with Harris'
  • It's okay I already have permanent brain damage, I can translate for everyone.

    It says,

    Donald Trump is tired of changing his pants every time someone mentions debating Harris, so we respectfully decline.

    Thank you,

    Your future inmate president.

    news.yahoo.com U.S. urges China military dialogue despite rebuff to Blinken

    BEIJING (Reuters) -The United States on Tuesday pressed its call for military communication channels with China and signalled concern over reports that China plans a military training facility in Cuba following Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to Beijing over the weekend. Establishing milit...

    The Biden administration wants to set up a deconfliction line with China in much the same way they set one up with Russia during the Cold War. They're also signaling that future cooperation may come in the financial sector or by refining sanctions by tapping the Treasury Secretary as one of the next US officials to meet with Chinese leaders. The Commerce Secretary may also be about looking for a ways to offset the US bringing chip production home.
