After getting zero firm commitments to this point from the first nine invitees, the Trump administration is extending its proposed compact to all colleges. Expect some red-state publics to say yes.

I would take any of them any day over the current situation. None of this has anything to do with why the VP is being singled out.

I’m guessing you’re being sarcastic because registered voter turnout was in the 60s. I’m mad at the 40% who didn’t see avoiding a dictator as important enough.

Let’s be honest, folks like to make lots of excuses. Single issue voters like to make lots of excuses. Race & gender were the core issue.

Yup and let’s also remember the 20-pt plan is Biden’s plan.

The main issue is the 77 million ppl who voted for him and the millions who stayed at home.

There was so much more in that book AND she dedicated a good amount of space in the book to a topic she knows is deeply polarizing. None of that changes she was a faaaaaaarrrr better candidate than 47.

All of this and too soft doesn’t equate to someone with a long history of sexual misconduct. My entire point was why is she getting all the smoke from someone who calls themself a feminist when this horrific human is now in office…

I’m used to questions being clearer and it feels as if you’re looking to be proven right. It was a question as to my knowledge 46 was never convicted of sexual abuse like 47 and as of 10/31/24, 28 women had come forth with accusations of sexual misconduct. Then we have reproductive rights attacks.

Be clear…“Then Mr. Trump won the presidency back, and the Biden administration was determined to get a cease-fire in place by January, before it left office. It drafted a peace plan, much of which was quite similar to the “20 point plan” Mr. Trump recently issued.”

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

She probably should have impressed this upon Kavanaugh before he issued an opinion endorsing what are now known as “Kavanaugh stops.”

Every tyrannical regime since the beginning of time has invoked that somehow it is “God's Will” that committing genocide, famine, hatred, and torture is divine. Only the mentally deprived would make such a claim to justify their own inhumanity.

Middle East policy aside, this person said on this internet that VP Harris went right wing on all her policies. What? Where? How? If you’re going to criticize, at least be honest.

Kamala is all out of f*cks and I’m here for it 🔥

We see you, @codepink.bsky.social

Your paid performative agitators pop up on her book tour like they think we don’t know the VP’s job.

The VP doesn’t set Middle East policy, the President does. The VP’s role is to support the President, period.

I’m good on this self-described feminist who must have preferred 47’s views on women.

Status Quo Slayer @elev8humanity.bsky.social · 1d

And you call yourself a feminist? You’re pleased with 47’s treatment of women? Your kind of feminism we can do without.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This is not about the stairs comment and rather the article headline. I will not give him credit when this is happening and he’s creating wars in American streets.
