Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I wonder if Kamala or anyone in the white house will talk about this? They won't because they're owned by CUFI/AIPAC

I'm not sure she's owned by them. But pissing them off in an incredibly close election is not wise. Unfortunately their money dump on tight progressive primaries had exactly the effect they wanted. "Talk about Israel during the campaign and we dump tens of millions in strategic states and demographics."

So we're not likely to see her true position on that until November 5th.

When a group gives millions to a campaign that's a quid pro quo, the candidate will do what they want when elected. There's no chance Kamala will change her stance on Nov 5th because the cash will still be flowing

Eh, that's not totally true. There's no formal contract, a politician can absolutely take the money but not give them anything. That's how they keep it from being bribery. But also, when you're talking about the really influential groups, it's seen as better to just take their money and keep quiet until you have to publicly do something.

So there is absolutely a chance. It's not a guarantee, but it's not nothing either.
