More than 100 former national security officials from Republican administrations and former Republican members of Congress endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday after concluding that their party’s nominee, Donald J. Trump, is “unfit to serve again as president.” In a letter to the public, the Republicans, including both vocal longtime Trump opponents and others who had not endorsed Joseph R. Biden Jr. in 2020, argued that while they might “disagree with Kamala Harris” on many issues, Mr. Trump had demonstrated “dangerous qualities.” Those include, they said, “unusual affinity” for dictators like President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and “contempt for the norms of decent, ethical and lawful behavior.” It quoted Mr. Trump’s own former vice president, Mike Pence, who has said that “anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States.” “As president,” the letter said, “he promoted daily chaos in government, praised our enemies and undermined our allies, politicized the military and disparaged our veterans, prioritized his personal interest above American interests and betrayed our values, democracy and this country’s founding documents.” The 111 signatories included former officials who served under Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush. Many of them had previously broken with Mr. Trump, including two former defense secretaries, Chuck Hagel and William S. Cohen; Robert B. Zoellick, a former president of the World Bank; the former C.I.A. directors Michael V. Hayden and William H. Webster; a former director of national intelligence, John D. Negroponte; and former Gov. William F. Weld of Massachusetts. Miles Taylor and Olivia Troye, two Trump administration officials who became vocal critics, also signed. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/18/us/politics/republican-officials-harris-endorsement.html

OMG! You're retarded and don't have an argument! You should stick to something you're good at like drooling over your own children.

Oh if some random stranger posted it on social media it must be absolutely true. Just like those 2020 election fraud affidavits MAGAs are so hopelessly and pathetic gullible. It is absolutely hilarious. Trump lost the debate get over it. Kamala didn’t dictate that Trump say crazy shit about immigrants eating dogs or having a meltdown over people leaving his rallies early.

Oh... I know. Is it how Biden and Harris played into the hands of the Taliban and have no regrets now that millions of women are back in the home where they belong, no longer going to school and having to wear full coverings? Is it those totalitarian thugs?

1. You didn't answer the question: why would the cops lie about this? 2. What press release? 3. No one called it a training exercise. Reading the statements from the cops here, they're talking about a person (not a cop) training their own bomb sniffing dog. I'm betting it was some MAGA Boomer who took it upon themselves to bring their Shih Tzu to the rally to protect Trump lol. So to recount: some rando brought their own dog, claimed to have found a bomb, the cops checked it out as a "suspicious incident" but found no bomb or any explosives and released that information to the media but you think they're covering up an actual bomb threat because you're mentally ill.

Are we talking about how Biden and Harris played into the hands of Maduro? Or wait... is it how Biden and Harris continue to play into the hands of Iran?

Oh I guess I wasn't clear enough: this affidavit is utter horseshit. It's not real.

Why are you blaming libs? The pursuit of cheap labor has never really been their agenda. According to your own source, the obvious culprit here is capitalism. It is people who care more about profit than they care about the coherence and social cohesion of the people of canada.

It's called an internal critique. One does not have to believe in their interlocutors meta physics to show the logical fallacies there in. Using the bible( or any holy book someone believes in) to show the ignorance of the belief system is a completely valid form of argumentation. I can call out L Ron Hubbard on his bull without getting audited.

Is Hezbollah going to punish before or after they keep their vow of destroying Israel?

Ummm - the fox figures were for march. Your abc viewers are for the year LOLOLOL No wonder you didn't include a link

Convoy scum, typical right wing “fake tough guys” who will yell vulgar insults from a distance but whose genitals retract into stomach when they’re confronted. “Who me I didn’t say anything!” Shameful coward. Not to mention they’re disrupting a family -friendlyTerry Fox ceremony with their vulgarity. What a disgrace to Canada

Lincoln made the US live closer to its stated ideals, and that is a good thing.

It appears that you MAGA CULT are easily DUPED. ^Lame. If the cops know, they'll tell the chief who will tell the Mayor and the manager.

They said there is NO EVIDENCE that it's happening. Duh He's not necessarily detached from reality. He knows how to divide people and motivate his anti-immigrant base with those LIES. It works for his campaign whenever he can demonize immigrants. Notice how he's still LYING about the Haitians being ILLEGAL when THEY'RE NOT.

Well…. Riiiight…. What they said is that they have no evidence whatsoever. I get that in Trump La-La-Land, you just make up any stupid shlt you want, claim it’s true and then attack people because they can’t “prove” that the lie you just told is make believe. Why do you fall for this? Just one outright lie after another? They aren’t eating the pets and they aren’t killing the babies after they’re born. Donald Trump is detached from reality.

Let me get this straight: When the leaders of Springfield say something you agree with — that these threats come from overseas — then you believe it’s true. But when the leaders of Springfield say something you don’t like — for instance, that pets aren’t being stolen and eaten — then you don’t believe it’s true. At least, not enough to wonder why in the world Trump and Vance keep insisting that it is true.

https://www.instagram.com/joanofjudea/reel/C__MU3ePwbT/ I couldn't find it on YouTube, the google search found this video in a link to some rando's insta account. After you watch that, just remember that's all in addition to accusations of Trump being an existential threat, a 'nexelsrent', white supremacist, Nazi, fascist, racist, saying that he referred to immigrants as animals, saying that he called both sides at Charlottesville very fine people, etc etc. ^The epitome of Demiism circa 2020^ The Dems calls for violence and anti-Trump histrionics are absolutely to blame for this violence.

This is some interesting stuff: I split these out into three separate allegations from the same article.

Oh RACISM! I CALL RACISM! He said "monkeys".

Easily manipulated? You're concerned about that while you're a Biden supporter?

I have to hold myself to slightly more humane and socially acceptable standards pup. Later slaver.

Discrediting democratic institutions? Oh, like Democrats have done ever since Gore lost to Bush? Or after Clinton lost to Trump? Or like how they attack and lie about the democratic institutions when Republicans are passing any election laws?

There's a difference between taking the objective danger implied in the threat seriously, vs the blustering pageantry of the threat itself and the man making it. The former would be irresponsible to ignore, so yes, NATO considers it carefully in its planning and action. The latter, on the other hand, has proven over and over again that his strength is exaggerated, that his threats have been hollow, and nothing he says is credible. Even if Putin's balogna was real, and that when the first ATACM hits a Russian airbase he'll launch nukes, consider the implications: You're arguing that murderous dictators can throw nuclear tantrums to take what they want in wars of aggression, and that we should appease them.

Absolutely. Believing in magic makes any absurdity possible.

I would say it falls under the same umbrella, but if you don't, I'll survive. Let's swap Liberal "immigration" for "TFW" policy. Now what?

Oh God! Wealth redistributioin how f*cking awful! Next thing you know they'll make billionaires pay more taxes than welfare recipients!

ummm.... he literally had a wall around the golf course. The bad guy was on the other side of that wall I'm not saying you HAVE to be smarter than a squashed avocado... i'm just saying maybe you should be

Institution: The place they sent CdnFox to live.

First off, you're asking me to cite something I never said. 👌 Second, unless you're trying to tell us that Putin hasn't previously threatened all sorts of red lines that NATO has subsequently crossed without consequence, what I did say was not an opinion. It was fact. I'll leave you to clarify your position, but I'm not going to bother read your rambling wall of text until you do.

And I'm not hiding it, here: "How can we get into his head? There's a natural explanation that is based on the records and facts": "This is how the thinking may go" The rest is facts. If you don't like my explanation, feel free to come with your own that is compatible with the facts. Argue with me if you like, I'll hear all reasonable arguments. What I insist you, me or anyone with a functioning brain could not do is to simply dismiss it as some noise, like nothing is happening. Something has happened here. It's in the reality and it's right in front of our eyes.

No, it's a document some people are claiming is a signed affidavit, but the notary's signature and seal are blacked out, if they exist at all. Show me the signed and sealed document and we can go from there. 1. Again, it's not a signed affidavit. 2. It makes broad accusations but doesn't include any specific names or dates/times of when the events it claims occurred occurred or details of the conversations the alleged whistleblower was privy to (even though they claim to also have transcripts of secret recordings they made). The whole thing is incredibly amateurish.

One of the victims was a 9-year-old girl so you must be extra aroused today.

whoops how'd that last one get in there?

No, that's the thing. This isn't an opinion. I'm objectively describing exactly what's happened. Putin has ranted and threatened nuclear escalation and warned about red lines every step of the way. NATO has crossed those red lines over and over again, and there have predictably been no consequences. There are all sorts of reasons why the West and NATO have not been supporting Ukraine sufficiently or reliably. We've talked about those elsewhere, but none of it addresses the reality that Putin's threats have consistently born out as limp-dick posturing, that NATO has repeatedly called those bluffs. Nonetheless, here you are unwittingly arguing on his behalf and regurgitating his tired old rhetoric. Now the red line, I suppose, is super-super-duper, totally-absolutely-serious-this-time, right? 🙄 As I said, that's a wrench in your logic that you just can't bring yourself to acknowledge.

Ah yes, the classic game liberals play. The left has been pushing the trans the kids madness and when Conservatives respond, THAT is the issue. OMG, how dare Conservatives notice that you sick liberals support mutilating children

Victims are extra victimy today. Things must be going poorly. 😂

There are people reporting this to Springfield city council, you twit! Are you now gonna accuse the black guy reporting it to city council...of racism? My Gawd but you Libbies are fcking stupid!

This is going to make a lot of young women very unhappy. As for the "men"? Meh...they can now become full-on Libbie darlings with gender affirming care having been done to them. Oh goodie...

An online bot? Relative i take it?

You guys know that Twitter (X) exists as a platform, right? Anyone can go there and see what random fools are posting. You really don't need to try to turn this place into Twitter lite. Gods know that you don't need to import stupid content when your domestic production is at record levels.

No I don't, but I don't doubt you. And I bet they were probably just like the stupid howls of outrage often heard over this costume. Please get grip. No one is waving swastikas around at these protests. Criticizing Israel in simply not the same at all because it's a ridiculous exaggeration. Like here conservatives in Israel call lefties anti-Semites for criticizing their government and country. Like there lefties here should also laugh at the comparison. Blackface built a pipeline and soon it'll be drill baby drill in Canada. Transport Canada has offices all across the country issuing Masters certificates. They issue them to women as well so maybe backing out now presents a bit of a sticky wicket for the Department(s) of DEI. Maybe crewmen think it's hot. I doubt the women are lobbying for the word Mistress on their certificates.

In reality it is the most watched nightly news. Suck on that, gnat girl.

Four Boomer emojis in two sentences, oh poverty boy is BIG MAD. Fact of the matter is I didn't know it was a paywalled article because I can afford a subscription, sucks to be you I guess.

The only thing you stand over is the f*cking buffet at Cracker Barrel. lol you're so mentally enfeebled you've lost track of which guy you were talking about, go to bed old man.

Hold up. It doesn't make sense for maga to not accomplish something? What have they ever accomplished?

Sure, this is so truthful and honest that you don't even have a source and can't even say what you're talking about. Kamala to open whore house Biden to legalize crack Wow. When we do it YOUR way it's pretty easy isn't it

Yes. Why are you for Chinese, Russian and North Korean missiles killing Ukrainians? But not Ukrainian missiles going the other way? Yes. Any Ukrainian missiles made anywhere should blow up Russian targets. Yes. The alternative is to allow a bunch of Europe, including our allies to salute Putin as he rides by shirtless on a horse. I put the odds pretty low. But it could happen.
