The only thing Harris should be calling for is her own resignation. I've got zero patience left for the fake grandstanding from politicians that don't give a crap about the people they serve in name only.

@christopherblatny-rr6ft

Her voice really grinds on me, imagine how much you'd have to hear her if she was president. Everyone in ear shot would have a seizure and pass out.

@mrchewy1456

Somebody is nervous about losing an election 😂

@SeventhSonofASeventhSon77

Shouldn't she be at Willie Brown's house hanging out with he and Montel Williams? This is the president's job. If only his brain still worked.

@user-ls3pr2rd3c

And after the next 6 weeks? What then?? Girl bye

@raeb5226

. . . you can literally hear people screaming and running away in horror as VP speaks

@georgemichael9106

We must have a cease-fire in which all firing must cease because you can’t have firing during a cease fire..Ah yes thank you Mrs Vice President.

@RickLibre

What about the cease fire veto in the UN?

@cosmicthroes

"We met out Goal of collecting 30 Billion dollars from tax payers, this is a great achievement, we will begin cease fire, thank you tax payers, your sacrifice makes our pockets fatter, thank you"

@Delflorpadem

Just so we are clear- it’s devastating today? Not on Oct 8th? Not on Thanksgiving? Not Christmas? Not New Years? So today. Got it. This administration is a joke.

@user-letsbeforreal

I bet they’ll still veto a UN resolution to force a ceasefire.

@dstarrii9784

Relax everyone her saying this instead of the president means it's just a test to see the public's reaction to it after the protest vote and a little bit of a nudge!😂

@URRidikalus

Why did we send some cackling dum dum to call for a cease fire?

@theflyoverlandcrank

The Veep's reputation, earned by her handling of the undocumented wanderers flowing over our Southern border, is why we should listen to her (and pray for Uncle Joe's health).

@user-mc9om5di1f

She doesn't even know what a cease-fire is.

@Xfishf00D

I love how our government just decides to do whatever they want with our money

@tiboregoldberger6817

In 2023, an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. A third of all these deaths are in the neonatal period. 1:25

@myohmy7368

She will be out soon. Cackling Queen has got to go.

@williamabaker12

Is there literally anyone who listens to her who doesn't believe she's the biggest joke to ever have her position?

@novak.olen66

The dumbest of the dumbest
