This is the reason that all billionaires donate to all political parties anywhere.

Oh I know all that - I was more commenting on the concern that Musk is trying to stifle things for Harris on Twitter, and that seems like a 2016 problem - not a 2024 problem.
Harris has a grassroots movement happening at the moment that is more impressive than anything Musk can cut down on his platform. I donât think any action Musk takes on Twitter is going to be swinging voters Trumps way - who were not already there.

Oh, I just re-read your post and realised I completely misconstrued your meaning.
As you were!

This nabj (national institute of black journalists) interview overnight is just a car crash from the first second. Apparently it was already late starting as his team was trying to get them not to do live fact checking.
This thread should be changed to âEveryone Is an Idiot - The US Politics Threadâ

I thought Shapiro was a lock but Tim Walz wins running mate.
Probably shows the Demâs confidence, Shapiro would have won them votes in Pennsylvania but maybe cost them votes across the country amongst the younger voters due to his previous comments regarding a two-state solution in the middle east.
Tim Walz is probably a better pick on every other measure.
Tim Walz kinda rules, from what Iâve seen?
If the Dems lose Pennsylvania (and therefore, probably the election) people are definitely going to be asking what ifâŠ
Heâs just had a hilarious crack at JD Couch Fucking Vance, so he seems alright to me. 
They have waived the idea that Shapiro would lock Pen in for them (historically a VP wont always assure this anyway) and gone with the guy who can speak to rural / middle America - helps that he also has a cracking way of communicating and employs take downs that donât seem snippy.
I know its a stacked crowd at those things but it was refreshing to see.
Thereâs some claims that Trump is in talks with Netanyahu, asking him to not accept any ceasefires with Hamas, until after the election. Heâs worried that itâll make the Democrats look goodâŠ
That sounds like a crock of shit tbh

Didnât Nixon do something similar with the Vietnam war? Torpedo the peace negotiations until after his election?
I mean itâs common knowledge that he did that same thing for the border wallâŠ
I donât think BN needs any further encouragment not to sign a peace deal.
BN is looking for any excuse to not just keep the war going, but escalate it at any cost.

I mean if itâs true, more an indictment on Trump than BN
