    She was still in the senate when her ship was captured by Vader at the beginning of Star Wars.

    Leia: I’m a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan.

    Vader: You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor.

        Michelle Obama made a speech on this. Trump is not getting demands. She is.

        Mr Concept of a Plan after 8 years isn’t pushed at all. Meanwhile, we need more details on the articulated plans of Harris. It’s quite the mismatched standard.

        Also, Biden is her boss. She’s not the boss yet. New bosses do different things with the company when they take over.

          And they don’t publicly undercut the old bosses while being second in charge especially in sensitive diplomatic situations.

            Exactly. Maybe Harris is in lockstep with Biden on Israel or maybe it would just be a really bad idea to undercut him while she needs his support.

            Who knows? We won’t know until she’s actually in charge.

            I’m old enough to remember that Al Gore didn’t rock the Clinton boat either. I doubt he would have been another Bill Clinton.

              Trump Harris is just saying that to appease the Deep State Zionist voters, but once they’re in office, they’ll reveal that it was all an act and they’re actually going to do all the stuff we want. Trust the plan.

                Believe it or not, we might have an idea about the sort of things Trump might do if he’s president.

                I’m sure you’ll figure out how that’s different from Harris if you think hard enough about it.

                  Harris is part of the current administration and has been fully consistent on their line. So, no, it’s not different, and we do have a clear idea what she’ll do as president. She will say that what’s happening there makes her feel sad, then send a bunch more weapons unconditionally, and you’ll be proven completely wrong but it won’t give you a moment’s pause because Trump would’ve been worse, so what did it matter if what you were saying was true, as long as it helped her get elected and helped you push aside some cognitive dissonance?

                  Also, are you suggesting that the QAnon “trust the plan” line was/would’ve been valid before Trump was in office? Because it wasn’t.

                    You clearly didn’t read this part of my post, so I will repeat it:

        She was working in government with the intention of making things better

        She was literally working for an armed rebellion actively fighting a war with the aim of overthrowing the government.
