Harris in Michigan trying to woo the Arab vote.

there's like 80k Lebanese Michiganders alone. good f***ing luck.

Democrats lost Michigan. gone, fineto. Kamala would be better served evoking the 25th amendment and removing the senile warmonger from office before he starts WWIII

That’s absurd. Watch this entire video, and note the commentary at 2:24 mark.

Michigan is LEAN Harris. For every Lebanese voter she loses, she probably picks up 2 traditional Republicans from North Michigan alone. The Cheney and other traditional GOP endorsements count for a lot. The race is a contest of who can pick up the center-right or trad-right, which likes neocon warmonger mindset. They are not voting for Trump. But they will turn out to vote. Guess who for?

You already have a few threads where you just talk to yourself anyway, so probably wouldn't feel much different. 😂

fami lecturing us on Liberterian virtues, while supporting vaccine mandates is classic fami-incompetence.

DEMS ON NT IN REPLY:
YOU'RE AN IDIOT, RING!!!

As for me, I'm voting Trump and I'm mostly happy with his leadership and his goals.

Anyone who is voting for Kamala, even after she has touted Dick Cheney's endorsement, while also giving greenlight to Israel to send Lebanon into the stone-ages, and actually 'question' why others wouldn't vote Dem, is the perfect characterization of why the majority of today's Democrats are horribly out of touch.

Never change, Nuggets Proboards. Never change.

I have literally never supported a vaccine mandate or any government mandate. 

Just because I believe in the efficacy of vaccines and choose them for myself doesn't mean I want the government to enforce that view on others at gunpoint, as much as I think other people should make the same choice. If I call you an idiot for denying vaccine science that doesn't mean I am in favor of the government forcing you to get a vaccine. It's just me exercising my right to free speech.

Once again you fail at the most basic reading comprehension.

I never saw you once make a post against vaccine mandates. You have been a CDC/FDA cheerleader.

You're a clown. Again, just because I said you're a dumbass for ignoring basic vaccine science doesn't mean I ever defended any government mandate of any kind. You can't show any evidence to the contrary because it doesn't exist. You're just so dumb you can't understand that there is a wide range of positions in opposition to your own narrow, idiotic views that you picked up from the absolute dumbest people you could find on twitter.

Trump just endorsed Israel bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities “first”. So much for him being the “peace” candidate.

[JB]

www.nytimes.com/2024/10/05/opinion/biden-israel-war.html

Biden’s Middle East policy appears to be a practical and moral failure. It could be a political failure as well, potentially hurting Vice President Kamala Harris in Michigan — and everywhere if a war with Iran lifts gas prices at the pump

As Biden surely understands, there are more productive ways to reshape the Middle East. A cease-fire in Gaza would probably have ended the rocket fire from Lebanon and allowed Israelis to return to their homes in the north. The nuclear deal with Iran dismantled much of that country’s program until Donald Trump withdrew from it. And ultimately the way to make Israel secure is to negotiate the birth of a Palestinian state.

Biden kept up the arms transfers to Israel even as he acknowledged that the result was sometimes “over the top” and “indiscriminate bombing” and even as his administration found that Israel’s use of American arms most likely violated international humanitarian law.

The Biden administration may also have broken United States law, which requires a halt to weapons shipments to countries that block American humanitarian aid. ProPublica and Devex obtained a memo written by the U.S. Agency for International Development concluding that Israel was obstructing aid, but Biden brushed those concerns aside.

Biden’s failure to apply enough leverage — or perhaps even uphold American law — has damaged other interests the White House cares about, including support for Ukraine. Hypocrisy alerts go off in foreign capitals when American diplomats hail the “rules-based international order” and simultaneously provide the bombs that destroy Gazan civilian infrastructure and induce starvation.

One of Biden’s tremendous successes has been to build alliances in Asia to fence in China, but this is undermined by his Middle East policy. People in Southeast Asian countries said in a poll that the Gaza war is their No. 1 geopolitical concern, and that if forced to choose between the U.S. and China, their countries should side with China.

“America’s stature has been greatly diminished among its friends and allies,” Nabil Fahmy, a former Egyptian foreign minister, told me, noting that other countries have been struck that “Israel has consistently and blatantly disregarded U.S. requests.”

“This will have long-term consequences as allies and friends look elsewhere,” Fahmy added.

“We feel that the U.S.’s blind support for Netanyahu is encouraging Israeli extremists and feeding their appetite to annex the West Bank to Israel,” said Issa Amro, an activist who has been described as a Palestinian Gandhi. “Palestinians in the West Bank are losing hope in the prospects for peace and losing faith in the two-state solution.”

In Gaza, more than 10,000 children have been killed and about 2,000 have had limbs amputated, according to a forthcoming report by Theirworld, a British charity that works on children’s issues. It adds that 40 percent of Gaza families are now taking care of a child who is not their own, and that 85 percent of Gazan children have gone a full day without food.

“Every day is a struggle living in tents surrounded by blood, muck, mud and rubble,” said Dr. Sam Attar, an American physician who has volunteered on four surgical missions to Gaza hospitals during the war. “Every day is a breaking point for food and water.”

Mohammed Alshannat, a linguistics scholar in Gaza who admires democracies and believes that Muslims and Jews can live in harmony, has spent the last year struggling to keep his family alive. “There is no place safe and no food, clean water or medicines,” he emailed. “It is like sheep in a slaughterhouse.”

Israelis aren’t manifestly more secure than a year ago, and Lebanese and Palestinians are manifestly less secure. American troops are vulnerable on Middle East bases, and shipping is at risk off Yemen. There is no peace in sight, no offramp in Gaza, Lebanon or the West Bank. It’s as if Biden and Netanyahu are stuck on the set of the existentialist Sartre play “No Exit.”

“We have no plans and no benchmarks but death,” despaired the Israeli scholar Ori Goldberg.

Meanwhile, Biden has ensured that American weapons continue to shatter lives without clearly advancing American, Israeli or Arab interests. Ettie Higgins of UNICEF in Lebanon told me about a 7-year-old Lebanese girl who lost 15 members of her family in an Israeli strike a few days ago. The girl lost her parents and all her siblings and suffered cuts and bruises herself.

I imagine her meeting Biden and asking: Why did you provide bombs that kill families like mine? And I wonder how Biden, a good man who never wanted this war to happen and yet enabled it, would respond.

Kudos to Kristof for having the courage to telling the truth (outside of calling Biden a good man). he must have tenure with that paper.

JB, by all accounts, Biden IS a good man, though neither you nor I have met him or know him. BTW, I have met Trump and asked him probing questions from across a conference room table just over 20 years ago. I found him then, as I find him now, completely lacking in depth, substance, and character. Did not buy what he was selling that day, but my friend and colleague who invited me to the meeting was browbeaten at the office elevator by Trump as he was leaving, with Trump pushing his finger into my friend’s chest, saying he better get his firm to buy into the deal in what my friend felt was a bullying manner. My friend later called him vile. That was before I knew Trump’s politics, and I thought my friend was being sort of harsh. Then he told me the story I just told you, about the finger in the chest.

Biden has been played by Netanyahu as leaders have been for decades by him, and both he and Blinken have failed to stop what is now an escalating war. Whether it costs Harris, who as VP can seemingly say and do nothing about it right now, the election, depends on the wisdom of the American people. If the electorate were well-informed and wise, Harris still wins. But it won’t be a landslide, which it could have been if not for this war, and her being hemmed in by her boss as all VP’s are. She needs an HHH September 1968 moment. You’re probably too young to remember that.

Honestly, who cares? He did a fantastic job as president from 2016-2020. My life (and millions of Americans) was better under President Trump than currently under President Biden/VP Harris.

Its crystal clear to me and just common sense. As I have mentioned before I am independent who has traditionally voted Democrat in the past. Among the two candidates: Trump and Kamala -- Trump is the easy choice by a mile. 

[famicommander]

Biden is not a good man and he never has been. He hasn't been fooled by anybody, the man straight up hates Muslims and always has. He was to the right of Ronald Reagan and George Bush on Israel/Palestine back in the 80s. Biden happily went up there and lied to everybody to support Cheney's wars.

Stop whitewashing this genocidal maniac. All you have to say is that Trump is even more genocidal, which is true. Don't lie to try to prop up Biden as some kind of decent human being, because he's never been one.
