Shapiro: Harris Staff Questioned If He Was Israeli Agent

Toluse Olorunnipa, Atlantic

 

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was already irritated by what he describes as “unnecessarily contentious” questions from the team vetting him to be Kamala Harris’s running mate when a senior aide made one final inquiry: “Have you ever been an agent of the Israeli government?” ...

After Harris and Shapiro sat down, in a dining room that had been cleared of most furniture other than two chairs and a table, there was little in the way of small talk or pleasantries. Each described the conversation as blunt, lacking the traditional warmth of two people trying to determine if a four-year partnership would work. Their discussion was especially tense when Harris asked Shapiro if he would apologize for some of his comments about protesters at the University of Pennsylvania who had built encampments to decry Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and, in some cases, intimidated Jewish students.

Shapiro wrote that he “flatly” told Harris that he would not. ...

J. D. Vance falsely claimed on Jan 8 that Renee Good obstructed the ICE operation, but the ICE vehicles weren't there when she arrived, only arriving later to box her in, one to her left, and Ross to her right

Ross left the door to his vehicle, to the right of Good, wide open when he exited to start taking video around her vehicle. 

When Good decided to flee, she had to avoid that open door, which meant aiming straight ahead before her hard turn to the right. It's why she had to back up first.

The ICE vehicles used a blocking tactic to obstruct Renee Good's vehicle. She partially obstructed traffic when she arrived, but the video shows vehicles were able to get around her on either side, which is how Ross got his vehicle around her in the first place.

ICE could have simply left the scene, leaving her sitting in the middle of the road. 

ICE did not arrive to diffuse this situation, but to escalate it.

It was premeditated.

If Trump had any imagination whatsoever he'd float Greenland Bonds as a proposal to finance a Greenland purchase

 

Instead it's just negative waves all the time.

Trump could propose a purchase to Denmark, and finance it with Greenland Bonds paying 5-6% over thirty years. Insurance companies and lotteries would love it.

 

But No, all he wants to do is punish, punish, punish.

Donald Trump says, When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election

 

When you think of it, he shouldn't even be president one minute longer. 

 

... “It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.”
