And remember, it was James Comey who destroyed Hillaryโ€™s chances. Thatโ€™s all it took.

Just a few thoughts. Framing matters unless we're under the illusion that it is okay to deceive for political gains. This is essential both for the sake of the vulnerable and for credibility.

"This is how we protect Muslims and refugees and immigrants."

The truth is, Biden has deported people at a faster pace than Trump. Trump, incredibly, released more migrants than Biden. Harris is campaigning on being even tougher on migrants seeking to enter the U.S.

After funding and fueling a genocide, Harris had the gall to kick earnest Gaza protestors out of her rally as supporters cheered and shooed them out. This was in Michigan, no less, where the highest percentage of MENA people live, many Palestinian.

"This is how we eject predatory politicians."

I believe that, unfortunately, the DNC is happy to replace enemy predators with friendly predators. It's unreal that they will be having Bill Clinton speak at the DNC this year after all that has come out about his apparently predatory past.
