Anyone other than Kamala would have to begin fundraising upon nomination. Funds donated to the Biden campaign can only be transferred to her. We’d either be looking at Harris or an independently wealthy replacement.

That’s possible. The difference is the agreement would put Biden in direct oversight of Israel. He currently has a Congress that voted in favor of aid, and a State Department that submitted an inconclusive report of war crimes. If Netanyahu breaks the agreement or negotiates in bad faith, Biden would have full authority to amend the munitions agreements without facing impeachment. We’d finally see if he’s been honest in his words of accountability. I’d like to know if it’s been bullshit or if he’s truly been following the advisement of the rest of the government.

According to the agreement, the temporary ceasefire becomes permanent with the return of all hostages.

Biden said the first phase of the proposed deal would would last for six weeks and would include a “full and complete cease-fire,” a withdrawal of Israeli forces from all densely populated areas of Gaza and the release of a number of hostages, including women, the elderly and the wounded, in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

Gaza destruction likely helped push Hamas to soften cease-fire demands, several officials say The second phase would include the release of all remaining living hostages, including male soldiers, and Israeli forces would withdraw from Gaza.

“And as long as Hamas lives up to its commitments, the temporary cease-fire would become, in the words of the Israeli proposal, ‘the cessation of hostilities permanently,’” Biden said.

The third phase calls for the start of a major reconstruction of Gaza, which faces decades of rebuilding from devastation caused by the war. The 4-1/2 page Israeli proposal was transmitted to Hamas on Thursday.

Did you pick that up from him or did you always say that? I had a friend who went to Carnegie Mellon, and came back to NY saying needs washed and yinz. I think it’s contagious.

Did I? I thought your comment was suggesting that Democrats try to get Republicans to abstain rather than identifying good qualities in their candidate. Is that not what you mean by saying the rhetoric is the same with the parties flipped?

I can easily list many good things that came from the Biden administration. Can they do the same for Trump?

Biden rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, revoked the Keystone Pipeline permit, created a 13 million acre federal petroleum reserve for Alaskan wildlife, greatly increased oil site lease cost, signed $7B in solar subsidies, invested $66B in passenger rail, enacted the Inflation Reduction act to support clean energy, increased energy efficiency standards on cars, appliances, and industry, created new permitting rules to streamline transmission lines, leveraged the NLRB for an FTC ruling that eliminated non-compete agreements, capped credit card late fees, reduced or outlawed junk fees in several industries, forgave billions in student debt from predatory loans, created the CHIPS Act to improve reliance on domestic technology, reenacted Net Neutrality, repealed Title 42, ended the Muslim Ban, reinstated the law prohibiting Israeli settlement on Palestinian territory, signed the Equality Act for LGBTQ+ rights, restored gay rights to beneficiaries, pardoned thousands of gay veterans from being convicted based on their sexual orientation, reenacted trans care anti-discrimination law, signed the Respect for Marriage Act, enabled unspecified gender on US Passports, rejoined WHO, rescheduling marijuana, banned medical debt from credit reports, actively reducing drug costs with the American Rescue Plan Act…

needs replaced

Found the yinzer.

Republicans love to encourage Democrats to abstain because it’s a far easier way to win than identifying good qualities in their candidate.

Adams probably spent that money on cop city like he did the library funds.

I used logic rather than emotion to determine my opinion that we should have a suitable replacement before asking to remove our candidate. That may be an unfamiliar concept to you.

What gives you that impression?

Who’s ignoring criticism? I’m saying calling for him to step aside without a replacement who would do better is not constructive. They should be poll testing candidates and proposing a candidate that could do better. Criticism without suggestions for improvement is just whining.

That’s true. Password managers like Keychain will circumvent key logging software, but other data entered could be logged.

Not just in this country.

Yes, it’s plenty with properly conditioned citizens that take it upon themselves to be informed. That’s not the current state of the US.

He’s taxing corporations and reducing wealth for their shareholders too.

Increasing the corporate minimum tax rate to 21% to align with the global minimum tax rate. Implementing a Billionaire Minimum Tax of 25% on the wealthiest taxpayers to ensure the top 0.01 percent pay taxes on their income as they go, just like everyone who earns a paycheck.

Raising the tax rate on corporate stock buybacks from 1% to 4% to reduce the differential tax treatment between buybacks and dividends and encourage businesses to reinvest profits in their workers and in the company’s growth.

Denying corporate tax deductions for employee compensation in excess of $1 million paid to any employee by both publicly and privately owned C corporations.

They already were favoring the defense by designating them the experts. The Chevron Deference was determined when the court ruled that they should defer to Chevron’s expertise when they were defending their case, since no one understood the field as well as they did.

It’s just trading one broken system for another. Both are completely asinine and corrupt.

Sort of. Chevron wasn’t good either. It put the expertise on the corporations in the field. The way to correct it would be to put expertise on the regulating bodies, like the EPA.

For those that actively seek out news, probably. Most Americans only consume the news that is fed to them. She’s currently not polling any better than Biden as an alternative.
