No she is not the one for POTUS.

It's not a bad thing to want to protect the environment.

More fake news , according to NPR a Arlington staff member verbally assulted than pushed the photographers that were asked and given permission to film and take pictures. It wasn’t a political situation at all it was a special request from a gold star family that Mr.Trump lay a wreath at their sons vault…Nice Try on twisting that one into something to take our mind off the three weeks of Joe laying around on the beach while this country is cruising down the wrong tracks and no one controlling it..


You mean this NPR story?
www.npr.org/2024/08/29/nx-s1-5092087/trump-arlington-cemetery-altercation-video
Reporting that the Army said the cemetery employee was physically pushed aside, and that there was no permission to film in Section 60--and that even the Gold Star family cannot override the federal law against filming there for political activities. The Trump campaign has already posted video from the visit on TikTok.

Lol… Trumps political opponents don’t need any help being embarrassed, every thing they do is an embarrassment on the United States…Every Reef laying has been covered by the media no matter who the president is, so your point of publicizing it is B.S. The media will always be covering Trump no matter who he’s talking to or honoring .. he doesn’t have to “ take” them with him.. when was the last time the president was covered by the media??? .. a Lame Duck hasn’t much of a following..

I guess Biden has no interest in assaulting cemetery staff like Trump's goons.

Kamala has a long ways to go for success as POTUS.

Yes, but she and Gov. Walz are out campaigning every day. Currently on a bus tour through Georgia while Trump spent the weekend giving a thumbs-up for a photo op in a veterans cemetery. Such a buffoon.

What about honoring veterans on the 3rd. anniversary of their death during one of the worst debacles in US history is buffoonish? Is it because Joe would rather act like he’s not the president anymore and since he has never mentioned their names why would be bothered honoring the men that got killed because of his “ leadership”… Trump has done more interviews than Kamala will ever think about doing. She’s all fluff and no stuff. she’s a sham, a fake, her surrogates say she has changed her policies but she hasn’t said it.. I think she wants this election to be voted on like Obama care was voted on.. a pig in a poke.. remember Pelosi saying we have to pass the bill to see what’s in it.. she has said that about the democrats selected nominee, we have to elect her to know what her policies will be.. that’s how much they really care about our democracy. so fake and hypocritical.

Neat. Why doesn't he honor all the dozens of servicemembers who died during his term in office?

He's buffoonish because he brought a media crew to publicize it AT THE CEMETERY. He's buffoonish because he smiled and flashed a thumbs-up sign for the camera while standing OVER THE HEADSTONE. And again, it's buffoonish because he's politicizing the deaths of those servicemen with whom he has no personal connection and obviously wants to embarrass his political opponents, but lacks decorum and class.

No eveidence? How about the advisors that said they advised him but he did not listen to their advice .. and no , the president isn’t held by rule to contact gold star family’s . But it’s the human thing to do and Biden being the uncaring POS he is he couldn’t find it in his heart to do that. Trump did… Kamala was the last one in the room with Joe to decide the fate of the withdrawal. So it’s on her as much as Biden.. the VP is part of the team that is in the White House, just because she’s not at the top of the ticket doesn’t give her a “ out” without the criticism she deserves . She’s done absolutely nothing to help the American citizen, but she’s done plenty to put illegals ahead of citizens. And that will be more of her agenda if she’s elected president..

There is a difference between not listening and rejecting. Anybody could see that US troops in Afghanistan were resented by much of the population, and keeping 2,500 or 250,000 soldiers stationed there wasn't going to change that. And insisting that Harris had any call on the position ignores that she's only the VICE president. Maybe she has her own opinion on the matter or maybe she agrees whole-heartedly, but it's Biden who makes the call. That said, nobody asked for a suicide bomber, not even Kamala Harris. That's a silly argument.

There you go again , making up excuses for Kamala’s poor performance as VP. For someone to be bragging about all their successes the past 3+ years , I guess I’d have to ask what has she done since she had no hand in those policies being she’s only a VP. ? Makes you wonder what’s going to be the answer to most of the debate questions when confronted on the economy or high inflation… “ Well I was only the VP so you should ask the President about why everything is so high priced”… not much of a campaign slogan..

Well, I, for one, am not assuming the VP has any more power than any other cabinet member. I think that overall, Afghanistan was a success under Biden, in that we've been out of there and haven't lost anymore people. It's on them, now. I agree that the 13 US servicemembers dying is awful, but so are the thousands of others who died over the decades since Bush mistakenly got us into it. Trying to maintain anything there was just a sunken cost fallacy. Although, I don't know exactly why Biden insisted on getting out.

But let's humor you. What do you think Mike Pence ever helped Trump decide? And who don't Congressional laws have a line for the VP to sign?

Long way before any Win 2024.

That was a call from before Biden dropped out of the race. Back when Biden was still insisting he's in it until the end. Since then, the party has lined up nicely and, incase you missed it, the convention went really well and the Harris/Walz campaign has raised over $540 million.

It’s been 3 years today since we lost 13 brave American soldiers in Afghanistan. But Joe and Kamala have yet to contact the family’s to explain how his and her decision to NOT listen to his military advisors is what led to their death, by a suicide bomber. These two morons Joe and Kamala are bad for America at a time when we need a president that’s not weak and worthless and Kamala is even worse.. where has joe been since he got pushed out of his next election? Maybe he thinks he’s not president anymore.. and on a permanent vacation…

Huh. So where's the mandate that the POTUS contact military families? Where's the precedent that POTUS personally call or write to next-of-kin for every soldier lost in combat? Got any examples of Trump doing that for any of the 65 troops lost in combat while he was president?

And it's weird that you bring Kamala Harris into it, considering that she's the VP. It's like griping that the House Speaker didn't stop them. There's no evidence that Biden didn't listen to his generals. But even if he agreed with them and kept "a small force" in Afghanistan, then we would've undoubtedly seen several more losses, like we saw during Trump's term.

You doubt !.. It happens when tax’s become to high to deal with.. corps. need less burden from government in order to hire more people to expand their business which means more tax base. Why is that so hard for a democrat to understand.. Why do you think less money for corporations equals more money for the employees. Democrats never think ahead to realize what their feel good w/ no substance policies will do in the long run… Think before you act for once,, please…

No, I get that corporations have great incentive to maximize profits. But all the farming for lower corporate tax rates is already done. There are more than twenty countries with a 0% corporate tax rate, and yet we still have corporations here in the US. When Trump lowered the corporate tax rate, we didn't suddenly gain new corporations from other countries.

It's not that Democrats don't understand your logic. It's just been shown to be false. "Trickle-down" economics never worked, and the Laffer Curve is a silly mental exercise. Since Reagan, the national debt has increased to unsustainable levels, and all the easy spending cuts have already been made. If anything, raising the corporate tax rate to 29% isn't enough.

It’s already at that point after 3+ years under these two morons. We let Iran fire missiles at US troops w/ no consequences to them. We let millions of illegals come into our country with no idea what some are up to or where most of them are. We let murders and thugs back on the streets to commit more crime and assaults in our liberal sanctuary cities . We treat our homeless like third world outcasts while treating the “ newcomers” like royalty. .. So much wrong with this country under the democrats rule and worse off if the dems win this next election…

None of those assertions are true. Maybe stop getting your news from The Donald.

you mean those policies like price control, $25,000 to first time home buyers, Trumps no tax on tips policy, her plan to tax corporations to the point they go overseas or start firing people because of the overburden of her idiot tax plan. None of those other than the tips w/ no tax idea she stole from Trump will ever go in to effect. Terrible ideas from a terrible politician… Now we know that the Secret Service chief lied about her putting xtra detail on Trumps rally in Pennsylvania, she gave the order “ do not increase agents “ or xtra equipment. And they refused to pick up the radios the local police supplied for the USSS for communication.. Why do democrats always corrupt every agency under their control?

Harris' tip tax exemption is different from Trump's in that it has limits, so that corporate officers can't skip taxes by calling their 10-digit income a tip. I doubt corporations would relocate if their tax rate returns to pre-Trump levels.

Popular because she had open borders.

The poll described in your link wasn't about popularity. It was only a poll, across 18 countries, where respondents were asked whether they had confidence in Kamala Harris to "do the right thing" regarding world affairs. Her results are similar to other world leaders like Biden, French president Macron, and German chancellor Kohl. And Mexico wasn't among the countries polled, so border policy isn't relevant.

Basically, it destroys the notion that the USA will become a joke if it elects Harris as president.

Kamala did not do her job as VP. Now trying to be a president.

Of course Kamala did her job as VP. She stood ready to take over as President the whole time, and as Constitutionally required, she broke ties in the Senate and regularly checked in on the President.

And before you cry more, VP Harris was never made a "Border Czar."

Theresa Cardinal Brown, senior adviser on immigration and border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center, said that early in the Biden administration, Harris was assigned the task of reducing migration to the U.S. southern border and collaborating with Central American nations to address the root causes of migration through diplomacy, development and investment.

“She was never named a border czar. In fact, the border was not her priority issue at all. The border was the responsibility of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. She was never in charge of the border per se,” Brown said.

Maybe I did confuse the polls that describe the attitude of Americans.. it’s easy to confuse these polls because all of them point to the failure of this administration to protect the American way of life, from the increase in violent crimes and the invasion on our borders to the high inflation that has jacked up the prices on Everything.. Kamala and her VP pick are void of any original ideals that work for America , that’s why they are silent on their issues for our future if they win… Now that their fairytale convention is over , watch her sudden fame start crashing.. her fame isn’t from anything she has done , its only because the 80 year old dementia patient is out… Now they will she the real Kamala and how destructive she and her policies will be, just look at how she ruined San Francisco..

Failure to protect Americans? Crime is lower now than at any time under Trump. Undocumented immigration is high because life sucks in other countries and America is that good. Inflation is up, but it's up all around the world; that's not a Biden- or America-only problem. World-wide, the USA is in the bottom third of inflation rates. In North America, the USA (2.9%) is in between Canada (2.5%) and Mexico (5.6%).

But I get it. You get your news from The Donald, so the US is a "nation in decline." Good luck with that.

First of all, Trump put sanctions on any country that went along with helping get that pipeline up and running that it put a hurt on Russia until Biden came in and stopped our exports and let Russia provide our alleys…On another topic; where is all the transparency the democrats claim they are… their idea of transparency is hide from the media and don’t answer questions about their policies..

Transparency? Like Trump's tax returns? Like how Trump says his "big and beautiful" plans will be announced "in two weeks?" Harris is only a month into her campaign, but her policies are still more detailed than anything Trump's put out.

Kamala will do nothing for the economy but help make it worse.

Counterpoint: Harris' objectives to lower housing costs on top of all the work they've already done for labor and reducing drug costs, would help the country much more than Trump's stupid idea of imposing huge new tariffs across the board--which is effectively a new federal sales tax on all imported goods. Trump is an idiot, barely even trying to solve problems, beyond keeping himself unaccountable for his many crimes.

It’s not up to the previous administration to do the work of the current one.. Biden could have reset the whole process of the withdrawal if he wasn’t such a idiot in a job way over his head, and his VP was a bigger idiot than him… we can say the same thing on every issue that those two have dealt with,, worse off after they ‘ fix it’.. video after video shows what a disaster the Afghanistan fiasco was ‘ worse than the viet nam withdrawal .. and that’s hard to believe it could have been worse. Tons of useful US equipment left behind… Biden and Harris say it was the greatest and most successful pullout ever….It goes to show , even when you set the table for Joe he still finds a way to break the dishes…

Not up to the previous administration? They offered to withdraw from the country, and then not only did they not withdraw, Trump ordered the draw-down of US troops in Afghanistan so that the withdrawal could not be done. He effectively sabotaged the operation. Who's the idiot? Trump is the idiot. Followed closely by his cabinet and especialy Mike Pompeo.

With Kamala as president of the USA this will repeat or even worse.

Republicans keep promising economic collapse if Democrats are elected, but it never happens and the worst crashes and the weakest economic growth happens under Republican administrations.
