They said this the last time it happened... During his last presidency.

Walmart Chief Financial Officer Brett Biggs said in an interview that higher tariffs will result in increased prices for consumers.

If only someone else said something about how bad these tariffs would be...

A neo-Nazi group scattered fliers across lawns and doorsteps in three Waterloo, Iowa, neighborhoods just before Veterans Day. The handouts offered a chilling assessment of the group’s proximity, in capital letters: “We are your neighbors! We are the random stranger holding the door open for you!” it read. “We are everywhere.”

About a week later, about a dozen people marched through a part of Columbus, Ohio, that is known for arts and culture, carrying Nazi flags and using a bullhorn to shout racial slurs against Jews and people of color. A similar scene unfolded in downtown Nashville over the summer.

Making up for their lack of racial tolerance with fatness.

How entirely unfounded and uncivil.

But aren't you glad a message was sent to Democrats that they weren't X amount better than Republicans than they already were?

I never said they were immune from criticism. And that explanation (and faulty mindset) is what got us here. Thank you for confirming.

So when you're downplaying Democratic accomplishments, that is not to give legitimacy for one to have not voted, or to have voted for Trump? Because that advertisement makes me more confident in my vote for Harris, knowing what I know about Trump.

Edited for past tense.

None of this makes them worse than Trump.

apparently stopping fascism by continuing the same mediocre Dem policies isn't enough motivation.

I'll take great Democratic policies that Trump will sadly now take credit for (IRA, chips, infrastructure, to name a few) over Trump any day.

Trump was not more appealing than Harris at any time frame during this election cycle, and I don't understand why people stopped caring, he's the same person or worse compared to his last presidency. But they're gonna care now, let me tell you. My only hope is that they mentally link the hurt Trump is going to bring with their lack of care during this past election, and learn from their mistake.

If anyone couldn't see how Trump would be worse than Harris, that is honestly their fault. And now we are seeing the proof of that. It wasn't a hypothetical, we already experienced Trump once, and we're being proven right about him again. This isn't a failing of the DNC to inform people of this, they screamed it at the top of their lungs. They said it during the debates. I was jazzed to vote Harris and keep that asshole away from office. But to enough people, things like that didn't matter and they voted against their best interests, and now things are going to get substantially worse than if they voted Harris.

If anyone couldn't remember what life was like 4 years ago during the pandemic (and throughout Trump's first presidency), that's on them. I honestly can't care about people's issues with the DNC when we're faced with an entirely worse option like Trump. The time for fighting to reform the DNC is during midterms where grassroots candidates can gain traction without threat of us losing it all. Allowing a much smaller volume of complaints about the DNC to take precedent over the tremendous evil Trump presents is a failing of the voters and is why we need the department of education more than ever. This is our brexit.

Building back our institutions after this is going to be much more difficult than it is tearing them down. If Democrats win the next election, I wonder if they're going to be blamed for not fixing things fast enough after their predecessor... Like, oh I dunno... The economy?

Yep. And trolls will paint this as "both sides the same." I wonder if Trump will get a "genocide" moniker?

For some, that time is coming. Come nov 2026 midterms all class 2 senators are up for reelection (and then class 3 in 2028). While there are more Republicans up at that point than Democrats, the strategy will be the same, and many of those Republican seats seem pretty safe.

https://www.senate.gov/senators/Class_II.htm

Exactly. There's going to be a lot of calls for Democrats to eat each other in the next 4 years.

I'll let you know when I'm either.

I posted facts.

Have a good day!

Sorry, the subsequent events and descriptions detail exactly what happened. I'm sorry you don't like the source (based on your own personal opinion), but that does not make it wrong. Your source quotes someone we discovered did not have the authority to make the decision without Sinwar, so no, Hamas did not actually accept it. New information and all...

Have a good day!

The person who could make that decision did not, and they proposed a new agreement, which is not accepting the proposal put forth. If only Sinwar agreed to it, then Hamas would actually have accepted it. But the person in the article who said they accepted it was not able to make that decision because this decision was up to Sinwar.

MR MILLER: The – now, there may – the – so it – so here’s the difference. Over the past few weeks, there have been no negotiations for an end to the war because Sinwar has refused to negotiate. There’s been no path to ending this war because Sinwar has refused to talk about releasing the hostages or coming to a ceasefire. We now see an opportunity with him being removed from the battlefield, being removed from the leadership of Hamas, and we want to seize that opportunity.

https://www.state.gov/briefings/department-press-briefing-october-9-2024/

MR MILLER: So we continue – we’re in conversation with them. We would like to get back to the point of getting to a ceasefire, which would set the stages for an end to the war and would help answer this question about what the future looks like and what the day after looks like for the situation in Gaza. As I’ve said over the past few weeks, Sinwar has been unwilling to engage in any meaningful way in the ceasefire talks. And I think it is probably reasonable to conclude he’s watching what is happening in north, he’s watching Iran’s attacks against Israel, and looking and thinking maybe he’s about to get what he’s always wanted, which is a full-scale regional war, and that may have changed his calculation. But either way, he ought to return to the talks because it is manifestly in the interest of the Palestinian people to get to a ceasefire in Gaza.

https://www.state.gov/briefings/department-press-briefing-august-7-2024/

MR MILLER: I don’t think there is. I really don’t think – it’s what the Secretary said yesterday, obviously, and I think is accurate, which is it doesn’t really change the situation. Two things can be true: Number one, Sinwar is a brutal terrorist with blood on his hands, including the blood of American citizens, and not just American citizens but citizens of many countries around the world. Let’s remember, it’s not just citizens of Israel that were killed on October 7th; there were citizens of multiple countries, as I said, including the United States. That is true.

It is also true that he continues to be the person that calls the shots for Hamas. And that was true before the death of the leader of the – the political leader of Hamas; it continues to be true today. Ultimately, it was Sinwar that had the final decision-making authority, as we can see throughout these negotiations, on whether to accept a ceasefire or not.

So yes, Sinwar absolutely ought to be brought to justice. We believe that, for the – his significant acts of terrorism. And we also think he ought to accept the ceasefire deal that is manifestly in the interests of the Palestinian people as well as, of course, in the interests of Israel and the broader region.

Thanks, you're right, my sources very accurately describe what happened when Hamas did not accept the ceasefire.

Sinwar did not accept it, so no, Hamas officially did not accept it. While members of Hamas had taken it favorably, he did not, and that's what counts.
