    Just that statement alone proves she is the threat to democracy. It’s the liberals that are against the Jews. Notice she refused to take any questions from the press.

    Did Harris speaking the truth hurt? John Kelly came out yesterday and called Trump a "full fascist." He's not the only former Trump official making similar claims against Trump. John Bolton says Trump would go full fascist, but is too stupid to accomplish the goal.

    Trump without the guardrails of Kelly and Bolton is an argument Harris has been making since the Democratic Convention. It should scare people. It scares the hell out of me. While I'm not a loud voice, I've been openly critical of Trump on various Social Media platforms. Does that mean that I too am the "enemy from within?" I think so. Since when do fascists despots care about how loud the dissenting voice is?

    Did you know it takes trillions of electrons to display even a single letter on a LCD or OLED screen. Man, you are wasting them.

    How does your clip prove that?

    How are "liberals" against the Jews?

    Wow, she didn't take question after making a prepared statement. The gall! :rolleyes:

    Were you always this starved for attention?

    You think of John Bolton as a "guardrail?" Trump made a lot of bad decisions as President, but sending that lunatic packing was one of his better ones.

    Trump's Chief of Staff and former General says Trump wanted generals like Hitler's, said horrific things about soldiers, and the takeaway from the OP was... she didnt take questions?

    While I think Kelly's comments about Trump are important and worth listening to, I'd rather not see Harris get into the Hitler comparisons. Even if and when she's quoting Kelly accurately. I just don't think it's too extreme to help the conversation.
    She could have talked about Kelly's comments without the H word.
    But I am curious - how does this show that Harris is a threat to democracy?

    I'm not a fan of Bolton one iota. But he does take his oath to the Constitution and country seriously. I can at least respect that. And yes, that made Bolton a guardrail against Trump.

    I think this was an admittedly rare circumstance where the opposite was true. Bolton was pushing for open war with Iran by any means necessary. I have no love for the Iranian regime and wouldn't mind smacking them down every time they deserve it, but I'm not in favor of creating the circumstances either. Apparently, neither was Trump.

    Do you have to give someone credit for firing a guy they hired in the first place? Its not like he was some unknown.

    I think so, since the alternative is worse in any form of management: not firing someone even after you realize you’ve made a mistake. Seen that scenario too many times.

    While I agree with Bolton's assessment of Trump he also had the potential to get the US in a shooting war with Iran and even if we won in the end it would have been disastrous.
