Trump isn't an exception, if US presidents could be tried for warcrimes there would be several things to charge him with from his first term already.

The official death toll is around 43k but estimates range much higher, likely over 100,000. The entire healthcare system in Gaza has collapsed so they cannot identify and put an official tally on many of those killed.

She can say whatever she wants, she has been part of the administration funding this genocide, she could have used her position to be more firm about stopping the aggression from Israel but has been nothing but supportive, regardless of what sham talks of ceasefire they may have tried to claim. Is there any evidence that she will take action that would be meaningfully different than what Trump would do?

Join the IDF and see for yourself then. Why do you think there is a crisis of morale in the IDF? There was an interview from an IDF soldier talking how emotionally taxing it was for him to drive a bulldozer over dozens of people. Even Israeli news points out how horrific the average actions of the IDF are.

If a group of militants decided to have a meeting in the basement of a fully occupied apartment building in NYC, you believe it would be ethical for the US military to destroy the building and kill hundreds of people in their homes?

Supporting genocide seems like a pretty good redline to focus on though. When both candidates promise to maintain or increase the genocide, why does this sham of a democracy deserve to be supported? This electoral system and US imperialism doesn't have to be endless, partaking in the process only serves to legitimize the horrors commited daily.

Last time Lebanon and Israel were at war Israel lost. Hezbollah is better armed and trained now, and Israel is more isolated than ever. Israel is bombing civilian areas now, using terrorism because they cannot effectively stop Hezbollah rockets from hitting targets in 'Israel'. People of Lebanon support Hezbollah and actions against Israel, they aren't being held hostage.

They have attacked the IDF many times and secured numerous casualities, just recently they struck an IDF intelligence unit with drones killing dozens, resulting in the commander's resignation.

This attack is a warcrime based on treaties that Israel has itself signed to, and has been recognized as such for decades.

What are you on about? As a mainliner hexer we would be happy to see Trump not living, just look at the response when he was shot or got covid.

The 'most progressive party'?? By what measure? Because they aren't as openly fascist as the Republicans? Kamala has sworn to appoint at least one Republican, to be tough on crime, increase the strength of the military, be as or more anti-immigration than Trump, has shown no interest in healthcare reform, and refused to even consider ceasing the arming of genocidaires. What does it mean to be progressive to you?

It's not whataboutism, it's good to look at the history and motivations of anyone making claims like election fraud. US officials are saying it's fake, the US has a long history of South American political interference, especially if there is even a hint of socialism.

It could have been an opportunity like they had renovations in the building, an agent disguised as a worker planted it inside the wall or something. Or like a plot on a Sopranos episode, feds snuck into Tony's house and swapped a lamp with an exact replica with a listening device inside. Definite security failure for a secure compound though.

She said her mom would say it, the full quote is:

My mother used to—she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, "I don't know what's wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?" (Laughs.) You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.

I love that this is on the official White House record: Remarks by Vice President Harris at Swearing-In Ceremony of Commissioners for the White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics

You can’t trust the FBI and US officials

This is true though, but I don't see any reason they would lie about this

Didn't you know, it's actually the people critical of a corrupted system that are to blame for said system's utter failures

Why not blame the Democrat Party? They have refused to entertain the idea that no one really wanted Biden to run again until now, with hardly anytime to get people on board with anyone else. They have done barely fuck-all to get people interested in voting for them no matter who the candidate was as well.

Who is saying 30 minutes? I've only seen reports saying two or three minutes, I wouldn't doubt that though.

EDIT: new info has come out, it's pretty absurd

Not to mention numerous Black Panthers, civil rights leaders, many others killed. The state knows that assassination can work.

People often talk about going back in time to kill baby Hitler. By all measures Trump would like to be a new Hitler and his most fervent supporters see him as that. Is it surprising people would support such an action to stop him?
