GLENDALE, Ariz. — Speaking here Friday to the largest crowd of her nascent presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris responded to protesters by calling for a cease-fire in Gaza and the freeing of hostages there — a contrast with her response to a similar interruption earlier this week.
Has to play both sides. Jews and the pro-terrorist Dems are a huge voting block. That’s why Biden can’t solve this diplomatically either.
nobody here is pro terrorist.
Anyone who supports a ceasefire does, apparently, or criticizes Israel in any way, shape or form.
Israel is an ally of the US. Our tax dollars are sent to Israel and Ukraine. In turn they buy weapons from US contractors. Politicians get kickbacks from these deals.
Joe and Kamala shouldn’t be supporting a ceasefire. They should be negotiating a ceasefire and a return of US hostages. Unfortunately the Jewish people make up a big block of Dem voters. The pro-Hamas/terrorists also make up a big block of Michigan voters. How do they pander to both sides?
For Kamala its stay silent and don’t take questions about it.
The best thing is to live in a country that recognises Palestine as a state (not the same as being "pro-terrorist, so don't even try). Instead of living in a country having their head so weirdly fanatically up Israels ass.
Isn't it weird being so fanatical about an authoritarian state?
If Russia decided to invade Sweden, who’s protecting you? Say NATO? The US is NATO. Weird you can’t protect yourself?
and if trump wins, he is pulling us out of nato.
we are currently in nato, protecting ALL nato allies. are you really going to flex on sweden like that?

What kind of “kickbacks” do these politicians receive? Personal or campaign contributions?
Brandon and Kamala are surely pressing Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire and release of all the hostages, not just American. Why do you suggest that they aren’t? Because they’re not standing outside a whirling helicopter snapping their suit jackets and shouting a word salad of incoherent rambling nonsense?
Jewish voters represent approximately 3% of all voters and overwhelmingly support the Democratic Party, except for the orthodox, no surprise there. So why is it unfortunate?
All of the above.
Pro-Palestinian/Hamas are upset with Joe and now Kamala. Protesters are disrupting her rallies. They want an end to the war, but we continue to supply Israel weapons to kill 10s of thousands and displace a million plus more in Gaza. If they end the war without completely destroying Hamas, Hamas will regroup and ultimately attack again. This is also a proxy war vs Iran. Just like Ukraine is a proxy war vs Russia.
It’s unfortunate that Joe and Kamala can’t really do anything because they can’t afford to lose either voting block. If it’s a ceasefire and Hamas stays in power the Jews are upset. If they keep supporting Israel with weapons killing more Palestinians then Michigan is lost with the “uncommitted” not voting or even choosing Trump.
At some point Kamala will have to take some accountability for their administration not being able to find an end. Maybe the press will ask a question or 2 she could answer or we may get an answer at the debate. Who knows?
it is not the united states' responsibility to find an end. bibi is not an honest actor. you try getting a bad actor to do anything at all.
bibi doesn't want peace because, like trump, his freedom depends on being in power.

Personal comments at each other will result in a forum account being read-only. There have been too many cautions on this but if people won't listen, read-only it is. Your choice.
It's more than just personal attacks that make this place unappealing lately. It's that too often so much of AMT is one person making snide remarks and everybody else trying to counter that. There's just too much crap to sift through.
I'm sorry, Kat and Sea, I know my saying this is probably not OK, but that's how I feel. I'm happy to be given or take a time out here. It all just seems points lately.

You’re an asset of the DNC. You do as your told. Pelosi and Clooney pick your candidate. Be a good boy and vote when they tell you.
Yeah, seems to be working out pretty well. Don't worry, maybe Trump will back out if his pen pal wrote him from NK or Vlad promised a shirtless bareback ride. Keep your fingers crossed and maybe the GOP can somehow save themselves from a racist moron with no agenda.

To be clear,
you think Nancy Pelosi and George Clooney are part of a cabal, who are going to replace the Democratic nominee, who is leading in all the important polling after only being in the race for 3 weeks, because they happened to replace an underperforming candidate who people didn’t want to run, with no regard that an overwhelming majority of supporters didn’t want them to run.
But George Clooney. And Nancy Pelosi. Possibly only them. Are gonna change their minds again. Because. Reasons.

It’s obvious Republicans have no idea what to do about Tim Walz
Trump and the MAGA movement are trying to paint the Minnesota governor as an extremist. But his polices are more popular than theirs.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz; former President Donald Trump.
Aug. 11, 2024, 6:00 AM EDT
By Alexander Nazaryan, Politics reporter and writer
According to an actual tweet from the New Hampshire Libertarian Party, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, whom Vice President Kamala Harris chose as her running mate last week, “has been a leech his entire life.” The message proceeded to list the various self-serving positions Walz has held, including “public school teacher” and “veteran.”
If that sounds deranged, well, that’s because it is. The Trump campaign and its surrogates in the conservative media ecosystem have been desperately trying to paint the 60-year-old Walz as Che Guevara with a Midwestern accent. “This is the most woke, left-wing candidate she could have picked, out of all the names that surfaced,” former American Conservative Union head Matt Schlapp said.
That’s obviously untrue. If Harris wanted to swing hard left, she could have chosen any number of progressives: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sens. Sherrod Brown or Bernie Sanders, or even twice-failed former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. They were all about as close to her short list as I was to starting as power forward for the New York Knicks.
If Harris wanted to swing hard left, she could have chosen any number of progressives.
Instead, she picked “a Norman Rockwell painting sprung to life,” David Axelrod, the mastermind of former President Barack Obama’s political rise, quipped the other day on NPR.
ADVERTISING
On Thursday, Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in which he described Walz as dangerous and out of touch with Americans. In fact, Walz is firmly within the American consensus when it comes to actual policy: He is strongly in favor of reproductive choice, as are 85% of Americans, to some extent; Walz enacted paid family leave, another wildly popular policy; as governor, he has pushed for Minnesota to get its energy from renewable resources, in keeping with Americans’ growing recognition of the threat posed by catastrophic weather and elevated temperatures.
If anything, Walz is so thoroughly in the center lane of the policy mainstream that even calling him a progressive may be something of an overstatement.
Republicans, on the other hand, want to all but abolish the administrative state (through the Schedule F executive order Trump signed during his first term and hopes to implement in his second) while hounding women who cross state lines to seek abortions. Their version of freedom involves imposing a severe form of Christian nationalism on the country at large. And rather than even try to sell these radical ideas to ordinary Americans, they characterize dissenters as “childless cat ladies” or literal demons.
Still, the GOP is trying to paint Walz as the Marxist from Minnesota. Bless their hearts. One loony right-wing activist suggested that Walz changed the flag of Minnesota to resemble that of Somalia. At some point you really have to wonder: How stupid do these people think we are?
Judge for yourself. Walz would “unleash HELL ON EARTH,” Trump warned with his trademark restraint. If “hell on Earth” is making lunch free for children in public schools and legalizing cannabis, then Walz is indeed guilty as charged. He is a Midwestern progressive, in the tradition of Robert La Follette, Eugene McCarthy, Paul Wellstone and Al Franken.
And he exudes genuine American warmth, the kind that was so refreshing to me and my family when we arrived here from the Soviet Union. “Tim Walz is the dad an entire generation wish[ed] they had instead of the one they lost to Fox News,” one social media user joked. The same country that welcomed my family, along with thousands of other Jewish refugees from the Soviet Union, could one day be led by JD Vance, who recently endorsed a book about how progressives are “unhuman.”
Still, the GOP is trying to paint Walz as the Marxist from Minnesota. Bless their hearts.
Trump must be seething as the edgy, joyless Vance creepily follows Harris around the Midwest, where she and Walz have been drawing enormous crowds. At one event, a reporter asked Vance what made him smile. In response, Vance abruptly attacked the reporter, calling it a “bogus question.” Walz practically looks like JFK in comparison to this bearded disaster — and Trump must know it.
“Republicans Simply Can’t Figure Out How to Knock Down Tim Walz,” went a recent Vanity Fair headline. Here’s a crazy idea: Don’t bother. Just offer better policies. Forget about Walz and simply tell the American people what you plan to do when you return to the Oval Office. Give them a reason to vote for you, and you won’t have to worry about the Democrats.
For example, Trump tried to brand Walz as “Tampon Tim” for his support of transgender rights. As a matter of fact, Walz probably is to the left of most Americans when it comes to protections related to medical treatments for gender dysphoria. That gives Trump an opening — not to attack Walz, but to introduce ideas of his own. Of course, that’s very hard to do when your campaign is practically idea-free. So “Tampon Tim” it is.
On the whole, I suspect Walz will provide a temporary boost to Harris in this critical early stretch while in the long run doing little to either help or hinder her campaign to any substantial degree. The right’s attacks on him are another matter. They reveal a paucity of ideas, a complete surrender to the Trumpian style of relentless attack. It’s an exhausting way to do politics. Even worse, it’s not very effective.
Great to see she endorsed Trumps “no tax on tips” yesterday in Vegas tho
- no tax on tips (great idea Don) - abortions YES! No ?s asked - Tampons for all - via “Tampon Tim”
solid start…. maybe I can update her website
Maybe he can start paying his bills and be able to land that used plane of his at the correct airport instead of two hours away! What a genius move I’ll show them screw paying them will just land somewhere else and drive or get on a smaller plane! Once a conman always a conman
By the way if you believe he’s prolife I’ve got a bridge to sell you! Knowing what we know about him I’d be confident in stating he’s def paid for abortions for his side pieces
