US Democratic Senator Mark Kelly has said he will “seriously consider” running for president in 2028 as he battles the Trump administration over a video in which he urged military personnel to refuse illegal orders.
The Arizona senator, who was accused of “seditious behaviour” by Donald Trump over the November clip, said he and his wife, Gabrielle Giffords, received “many” death threats after the president’s comments.
“We get them on a weekly basis now,” he told BBC Newsnight. “We had to get security to protect us 24 hours a day.”
Asked if he was considering a White House run, the retired Navy captain said he was considering it “because we’re in some seriously challenging times”.
The Biden administration she was Vice President of had Trans cabinet member and judges appointed, the most LGBT+ administration in US history.
Biden protected the ranks and jobs of LGBT government employees and servicemembers attacked by the previous Trump admin including reinstatements. They also signed the respect for marriage act which gave protections for Gay Marriage.
No matter how you expect the electorate thinks, there were two options and the people of the US collectively made the wrong choice, blame falling on the few million who could have changed the outcome.
Also, Palestine does not have the emotional pull in the real world that Lemmy thinks it does. A lot of people simply choose not to have awareness or care about the middle east.
Also, also, the Trump admin’s change of policy to explicitly “death or exodus of every Palestinian” is far worse than what was going on in the Biden era.
If you measure them by number of bombs shipped or by number of food deliveries allowed into Gaza, Trumps is worse for Palestinians in every way.
I never believe that criticisms of the Harris campaign on the topic of Gaza come from a genuine or well informed place. It’s insane to me that people would say they both cared about the innocent men, women, and children of Gaza but are somehow able to allow the “kill their families” guy back into office.
