Trump’s Latest Scheme to Beat Harris May Have Crossed Legal Lines
Trump’s Latest Scheme to Beat Harris May Have Crossed Legal Lines
Donald Trump is reportedly advising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which would be a violation of the Logan Act.
He may not be in office, but Donald Trump has been speaking with the powers that be about Israel’s war on Gaza—but it’s not in an effort to end the genocide.
Instead, Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November, according to PBS.
“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”
You're viewing part of a thread.
First off, the only one asking for fealty is the republicans. Second, trump already said “finish the job” so obviously he’s not in favor of a cease fire.
Now we’re right back to voting against your own interests. A not vote for Kamala is a vote for Trump(in a tight race like this)…. who supports the genocide fully… “finish the job”
You have two options.
-
vote for an administration that has called for a cease fire and is working to get it. Not doing a great job at it but the alternative is…
-
Vote for the administration that has said “finish the job” fully supporting the genocide and not calling for a cease fire.
How are you going to not be ignored? If trump wins because people like you don’t vote you’re definitely getting ignored lol. Actually that mother fucker might thank you for helping him get elected.
“If these people won’t do exactly I want then I’m going to make sure I get exactly what I don’t want!” - that’s you, that’s how you sound
Even the poll you just posted shows dems are more in favor of a mutually beneficial outcome, as opposed to(not to beat a dead horse but) “finish the job.
You want to be seen and heard? get out and protest and vote for your best interests. You want to be ignored? Don’t vote. Not voting gives you literally no skin in the game to complain later
Edit:grammar
First off, the only one asking for fealty is the republicans.
Incorrect. Democrats have been the only ones demanding my vote. Republicans don't bother trying to convince a "commie queer" like myself.
Second, trump already said “finish the job” so obviously he’s not in favor of a cease fire.
Likewise, the Democrats who pretend to support a ceasefire but keep authorizing weapons shipments anyway.
Now we’re right back to voting against your own interests. A not vote for Kamala is a vote for Trump(in a tight race like this)…. who supports the genocide fully… “finish the job”
There's those demands for fealty again.
How are you going to not be ignored?
Like this. You're failing to ignore me right now.
“If these people won’t do exactly I want then I’m going to make sure I get exactly what I don’t want!” - that’s you, that’s how you sound
"If these people don't stop asking the Democrats to represent their interests then I'm going to blame them for Trump's second term" - that's you, that's how you sound.
It's as if you've already given up on this election and are looking for some "other" to blame so you don't have to accept the fact that the DNC would rather lose an election than to stop arming Israel.
Even the poll you just posted shows dems are more in favor of a mutually beneficial outcome, as opposed to(not to beat a dead horse but) “finish the job.
And yet, the Democrats would rather stay the course than to do the thing that would net them more votes. By your own logic, the party is not doing everything it can to maximize its chances in the election.
You want to be seen and heard? get out and protest and vote for your best interests.
I'm doing exactly that. You're responding to my protest now. We have an opportunity for productive dialogue and you risk squandering it with manipulative rhetoric. It is not possible to guilt a single-issue anti-genocide voter into tolerating genocide, but it might be possible to convince your political party that it needs to take a more principled stance on the topic.
You want to be ignored? Don’t vote.
Telling people I'm not going to vote has resulted in far more productive and nuanced conversations like this than a promise to vote ever has.
Not voting gives you literally no skin in the game to complain later
On the contrary, voters are the ones with no standing to complain, because they voted for it. Only the non-voting majority of Americans can claim that they are not represented by the political establishment.
Funny enough it’s seems I ignored you lol
Democrats demanding you vote… for your own best interests. The last part is the kicker. If you feel that’s Trump fine. A non vote is still using your vote, and if doesn’t get you what you want…
Genocide isn't in my best interests.
If there is no option on the ballot to stop sponsoring genocide then I'm not getting what I want regardless of how I vote.
If the Democrats feel that Trump is a threatening-enough stick that they don't need to offer a carrot, then that's their problem.
Hey we talked about the Gaza atrocities before. Have you watched the latest debate and if so has your opinion changed about voting? Not trying to pressure just genuinely curious
Sorry for not replying until now, I didn’t have a response for you. You made me think.
No worries for the late reply, and I haven't watched the debate or even followed any of the coverage. To be honest, I've mostly checked out of the election since it's become a fait accompli.
I'll do my research on the local candidates when my ballot comes in the mail but I'll be leaving the choice for president blank. Harris will win the election anyway.
You voted against your best interests, now a rapist felon is going to give us real the go ahead and kill an entire people… you should feel like a murderer because you are one
Sounds like someone is looking for someone to blame so that they don't have to reckon with the Democrats' failure to appeal to the voters.
If you want to blame me, that's your problem. I ended up voting for Harris anyway.
Yep just like you did lol. Blood is now on your hands dumb dumb
Sorry don’t believe you.
Yep just like you did lol.
Pardon?
Yikes
If Palestine is destroyed all the blood is on your hands now. If trump helps Netanyahu it’s your fault
If you trusted the Democrats to save them, that's your fault.
If you trusted trump not kill propel he said he would that’s your fault
When did I ever imply that?
this is now all on you when trump helps finish the job. Good job killing the rest of the Palestinians! Disgusting people like you are why there is so much killing in the world, you fucking pushed for this and now you got it. Fucking loser fuck. I hope no one you know dies from this… but they will and you helped kill themYou're proving my point. My whole state voted for Harris but the Democrats still lost because they didn't oppose genocide.
The people killing palestinians have names and addresses. Go bug them instead of the people who warned you that the Democrats weren't on your side.
