Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

[jaspercabbage]

How, after 4 weeks, have the GOP (and Conservative broadcasters and commentators in general) have no coherent attack points on either Harris or Walz ?

It's extraordinary stuff.

I know there is very little in terms of policy coming from the Harris campaign so far but still, she's been the VP for the last 4 years.

According to Fox news she 'eats Doritos'.
Don't see how she recovers from that.

If those reports are confirmed it needs to be front page news. Self over everyone else personified. Would love if there were recordings.

I don't doubt this one iota

To those at GOT for whom the plight of the Palestinians is paramount, take heed. To Americans, how can this be described as anything other than indefensible?

Very much doubt this. Maybe Trump would do this via some back channels but no chance he is calling Israeli officials directly. He’s good at keeping his nose clean.

I have a low opinion of him (Trump), but they really need to stand this up with some proof - it goes against what he has said in the past and could only be seen as sacrificing Palestinian, Israeli and American lives for his own very small benefit. It also runs the risk of a huge conflagration that would affect all his mates over there in Saudi, UAE etc etc.

You could even make the argument that it would provide some legal justification for an assassination of him, never mind the personal legal implications.

On the whole of his actions to date, he gets zero benefit of the doubt with me.

ZERO

He directly lobbied GOP Senators to kill their own bipartisan border bill because it would help the Dem candidate for POTUS, and he doesn't hide from it. He swore up and down Putin would not release hostages unless/until he won the election and got embarrassed when it happened. The guy is in full-blown panic mode now and narcissists are not known for calculated thought, especially when boxed in a corner.

It's also a crime is it not, to discuss US foreign policy with a foreign government?

There is no 'deal' to be had.

Hamas aren't even taking part in the talks since the Israeli apartheid state murdered it's last negotiator.

The Blinken diplomacy is pure political theatre.

The Logan Act is supposed to address this, however, it has only ever been used to charge someone twice (both unsuccessful) and not since the 1850s (IIRC).

And he literally hosted Netanyahu at Mar a Lago just a month ago. I wonder what they talked about.

Very similar to Nixon with the Vietnamese

And Reagan with Iran.
