The issue is why do biden and harris continue to ignore their spectacular failure in Afghanistan and openly disrespect the Gold Star families. This photo bullshit is complete deflection.
A group of Gold Star families do not want Biden involved. Perhaps I can’t blame them, but turning around and inviting Trump and setting in motion this fiasco doesn’t bring their loved ones back nor will it make something like this not happen again, since Trump was knee-deep in Afghanistan and the withdrawal.

I’m reminded of the wife, whose husband was killed at the Butler assassination attempt. She refused to take a phone call from the president, because she felt that her husband would not permit it. Creepy on a couple of levels, so on brand for the Trump nation.
It's a shame the families weren't aware of your vastly superior knowledge of their own feelings and motivations. Forget wwjd, folks. WWWD is the way. If only we all had his omniscience, not to mention humility.

Here are some other perspectives. Much more valid than yours or mine.

Once again, as the democrats always do, they falsely accuse trump of doing exactly what they are doing.

I hope you have enough sense to shut up about it. But I doubt it.
Your friendly neighborhood racist. On the waiting list to be a nazi. Designated an honorary 'snowflake'. Trolled by the very best, as well as by BJ. Always typical, unlike others.., Fulminator, Hopelessly in the tank for trump... inappropriate... Flocking himself... Probably a tucking sexist, too... A clear and present threat to The Future Of Our Democracy.. Doesn't understand anything... Made the trump apologist and enabler playoffs... Heathen bastard... Knows nothing about history... Liar.... don't know much about statistics and polling... Nothing at all about biology... Ignorant Bigot... Potential Future Pariah... Big Nerd... Spiraling, Anti-Trans Bigot.. A Lunatic AND a Bigot.. Very Ignorant of the World in General... Sounds deranged... Fake Christian... Weird... has the mind of a child... Simpleton... gullible idiot... a coward who can't face facts... insufferable and obnoxious dumbass... the usual dum dum... idolatrous donkey-person!... Mouth-breathing moron... Dildo

WTF is that noise? Have you turned into a mini-SSS where granularity is not allowed? IE=All billionaires are bad therefore Soros equals Musk.

Aren't we allowed to say something like "While I do not agree with everything Musk does or stands for, I much prefer him to Soros."

And yes, I even have granularity as regards Musk in that I do not like everything he does. But your ilk does not understand granularity. It is beyond your ken. I don't think those who are merely "smart" can understand granularity. It takes Wisdom" to grasp the concept.

At least Musk builds big things and attempts big things. Nothing similar to SpaceX in the Soros world.
Were you showing GRANULARITY and WISDOM when you wished death upon my kid? Perhaps you should go back to talking to yourself about all the books that you are reading - at least then, it’s a conversation with someone who thinks you are a substantive thinker.
And no substantive answer as to why we are not allowed to differentiate between Soros and Musk.

And yes-I like to post about books. One would think on a trivia-birthed forum that would be an acceptable topic.

But apparently, you think this is an appropriate venue to echo anti-semitic tropes that have echoed through the ages.

Except, in your case it is not Jews as "Plague Carriers" it is Trump voters.

Yet, oddly enough on my other internet home that SSS loves to tease me about (Frontier Partisans) books are a major topic.

As I said in the post, I don’t really blame them for their feelings. Read closer next time, so you don’t waste my time more than you usually do.

I’m sure there’s something that George Soros has funded that would meet your approval for something worthwhile and not condemnable. I just went to his foundation’s website. The first thing they mention is that his humanitarian efforts started with funding scholarships for black South Africans living under apartheid. Okay, Maybe not the best example for you, but again, I’m sure there’s something out there you’d be OK with.

Likewise, I do appreciate what Elon Musk has done to advance space travel.

My point remains that the fevered conspiratorial feelings toward people like Soros and Bill Gates are hilarious, when the same people who preach those theories would hand policing of their speech over to Elon Musk and their government over to Donald Trump. I think it’s entirely reasonable to be cautious of any billionaire, be it Soros, Gates, or Musk.

Who's using it as a political weapon to cover up their own failures and self-administered optics? Trump or kamala?

The people involved seem to have expressed their opinion as to who is being genuine. Who are you going to go with? The people who lied to you about biden being sharp as a tack for 4 years? The ones that tried to convince you that hunter's laptop was russian disinformation until they couldn't? Now, the people who use the headline "Trump Campaign Uses Statements From Gold Star Families To Attack Harris" (NYT) (Masquerading as a "NEWS" story) Or maybe the people directly involved without the filter of the former.

It's commendable you know how to read. Maybe that's how you got through med school. But critical thinking does not seem to be your strong point.

I guess they count on fools like you. There's a lot of you. Maybe they're right and we are doomed.
