Now that she's the official nominee, is anyone else excited about Kamala Harris's chances?

[twodowntwotogo]

Just to get it out of the way - I am completely against Trump being elected President. I'm pretty excited to see Kamala being officially nominated, and looking forward to her fighting a strong campaign - albeit slightly nervously. Anyone else?

Yes

speaking to my family in the states they have hope again, a few weeks ago they felt hopeless

My family who support Trump are as passionate as ever so I hear it’s like a cult

Well said

That would be the same here you look at past cases to refer judgments.

We were discussing starting wars so I have no idea what you are going on about now

I cannot WAIT to see her debate the orange baboon of doom!

Read the post, please You blamed Biden for Ukraine and far East wars breaking out, thats how it started what else are you blaming Democrats for .catching a cold so on so forth , I rest my case

Absolutely

Well said

Nah.

"You need to understand that if Europe is under attack, we will never come to help you and to support you. And by the way, Nato is dead. And we will leave, we will quit Nato."

Trump to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

America’s adversaries will take advantage when a president is perceived as weak. I rest my case.

Lol

There wasn’t US law or case law, but SCOTUS - rightly or wrongly - cited the Constitution. As I said, “There is always, always a reason involving other laws, past cases, past legal history, the Constitution, et cetera. The Supreme Court never issues opinions without extensive write-ups on why they reached their decision.” [second emphasis added] Previous posters were acting like SCOTUS has stopped citing law in their rulings, which isn’t true.

I haven’t been to the SCOTUS decision seminar yet this year, but the presenters don’t take sides on the cases. It’s basically, “Side A argued this. Side B argued that. The majority ruled for [Side A or B], and this is what they cited. This is what the dissent[s] argued.”

”Absolute criminal immunity for official acts under core constitutional powers and presumptive immunity for other official acts certainly give pretty good cover to someone in the oval office looking to cancel an election” - not a ConLaw expert by any stretch, but POTUS does not have the core constitutional power to determine when an election takes place. Congress sets the date of elections, and presidential elections are conducted by the individual states. How, in your view, would Trump be able to cancel elections?

What is funny about that?

Anyone who will give women in the US their reproductive rights gets a vote from me

If the other nations don’t fulfill their contractual requirements to NATO

On what grounds is the former Attorney General of California and the Senator widely acknowledged to have been the most effective questioner of Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court ‘not very bright’?

Former President Trump instructed the Republicans in Congress to vote against the best bipartisan solution to the immigrant crisis yet devised, so that he could continue to raise hell about the crisis. Hardly the fault of Biden or Harris.

You made this claim so give us evidence

This is repulsive. For one thing, KH has been married to a lawyer in private practice, not involved in politics, for quite a while. To quote the meme on DJT, this is just plain weird

Evidence, please.

How?

Why?
Genuine question
She seems fine to me.

That's interesting, I'm trying to get my head round why people would vote for Trump and that makes sense.
I think I'm getting more liberal in my old age, I can see that stance taking root more with me when I was younger.
I was brought up Christian, with values of no kids before marriage for example.
I'd have been more "don't agree with abortion" back then, just don't have any kids, use protection!
Now older I realise that it's not always that easy for a myriad of reasons.
I think he has no clue, and also discriminates/alienates people.
Would much rather someone more tolerant of others "different" to themselves was in charge.

Absolutely agree , repulsive and vitriol to be expected, they are like school children. Behaviour is appalling and hostile.

All I know, as someone who lives in the US and can actually vote in this election, is that there was a very silent majority who didn't vote for Trump in 2020. Those people are still there but getting flogged with gas prices and high grocery bills and high house prices, just like the UK. My hope is that Kamala chooses the right VP running mate and those people stick to their 2020 guns. And Gen Z, the first generation to have school shootings as an actual worry in their minds on a daily basis, get out and vote also. And then, I'll be good with whatever happens.

This thread is so embarrassing

You're adding that - he didn't.
