Imagine what he will do if he becomes the "first husband"
#Kamala Harris’ #AIPAC handler husband Doug Emhoff had an interview on #MSNBC with Jen Psaki where he once again decried the “rise of antisemitism”
#Emhoff spent his entire term as Second Gentleman advocating for the censorship of Americans who oppose the state of Israel and he is actively pushing for more.
#MAGA #attacks on Kamala Harris' #stepdaughter threaten to backfire on Donald Trump
#Ella #Emhoff has triggered Trump's bitter #bro #fanbase
— but an embrace of the #incel #vote could come back to hurt him
Harris' family has drawn ire -- especially her stepdaughter,
25-year-old model and designer Ella Emhoff,
whose creativity, beauty, and easygoing love for her family has sent many on the right into paroxysms of #rage.
The daughter of Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, triggers the incel-minded online right by being a Brooklyn hipster who rejects the tiresome conservative rules for how women are allowed to dress or behave.
In response, Donald Trump's fanboys are in a total meltdown, unable to accept the existence of a woman who doesn't care what they think of her.
And they can't hide that they're furious that she looks great doing so.

This week, at the Democratic National Convention, the speeches of #Michelle #Obama and the Second Gentleman #Doug #Emhoff (and maybe #Lil #Jon’s, if you want to call that a speech) stood out.
But there was one speech, in particular, that struck me: The sermon-like words of Sen. #Raphael #Warnock (D-Ga.).
Warnock has served as senior pastor at Atlanta’s historic #Ebenezer #Baptist #Church for nearly 20 years.
His election on January 5, 2021 was one of two pivotal, and highly covered, Senate races in Georgia.
That made him a national figure, of sorts. But not exactly a household name. If you don’t know Warnock well, it’s worth remembering he is a pastor who invokes his Christianity as a foundation of his politics.
️He clearly brings that power to the secular pulpit in his speech on the first night of the DNC, telling of the need to heal a nation that has long been broken.
#Michelle #Obama might have done a bit of call-and-response.
But it is hard to imagine anyone else pulling off calling Donald Trump a “#plague,” as Warnock does, with such heft.

#DougEmhoff, modern-day sex symbol
#Emhoff is secure enough with his own #masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.
What. A. Hunk.

I finally found it. From page 5 in https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=All&ind=Q05&recipdetail=S :
« Harris, Kamala (D) $244,495 »
Source for the latter: Elon Muksis | @bhasic in https://infosec.exchange/@bhasic@mastodon.social/112893865360731406 (original instance: https://mastodon.social/@bhasic/112893863201092820).
In addition, from https://www.codepink.org/vpharriscomplicity:
« [...]
Harris has accepted over half a million dollars from the pro-Israel lobby, and her actions, along with those of President Biden, underscore the administration's unwavering support for Israel's ongoing occupation and brutal campaign in Palestine.
[...]
Harris's condemnation of protests in Washington, D.C., opposing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Congress further underscores her alignment with Biden's policies on Israel. By labeling these protests as anti-Semitic, she not only silences legitimate dissent but also demonstrates a complete lack of understanding—or worse, a willful disregard—of the real issues at hand.
[...]
Given Harris's record, there is little reason to believe she will diverge from Biden's policies on Israel.

Americans are always pro-colonists - "of course" except "new" people who enter the "homeland" that *they* colonized before them. For example, in https://toot.community/@latif/112959976578269175 Latif | @latif tooted a picture that reads at the top:
« Remember, the US labelled Nelson Mandela a "terrorist" until 2008. »
DISCLAIMER
I'm not claiming that any of rhe websites I mentioned is telling the unbiased truth. However, I found *nothing* that strongly indicates that Kamala Harris, once elected as #POTUS, will radically change course from Biden's by no longer sending weapons to Israel, insisting that a huge majority of Israeli's accept Palestininians as human beings and treat them accordingly - or else (severe punishment here), stop fooling the world with hollow words regarding cease fire's and finally accepts the authority of the UN, ICJ and ICC.
@ErikvanStraten @martoiu
Please, pick a woman or #MarkKelly, #KamalaHarris.
The other choices I've seen being touted just ain't it, in my opinion.
@georgetakei I think VP Kamala #Harris is doing fine. So is the 2nd Gentleman Douglas #Emhoff.
I think the #GOP is trying to create FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt). The idea of Harris ascending to power should anything happen to the President is too frightening to the ancient, bigoted, #GOP.
