I bet Mark Penn's polling for Israel the past few years is what's driving the extremely bigoted behavior of both major parties now. They found that no messaging improved opinion of Israel, EXCEPT whipping up anti-Muslim bigotry. That's why they're doing it.

What's the angle with the fervid defense of Joe Biden and his feelings at this point? He's done politically, wasn't popular, and doesn't even have any influence anymore. Who is this for? Team D more obsessed with loyalty Uber Alles than the mob. That's how you climb the ladder.

Bluntly, it's an audition for a job in the next Dem administration if there ever is one. (It's all for you, Damien!) Or failing that a sweet think tank bullshit job paid for by the same sponsors.

He was way too savvy for that. Never mind Israel (that too, unfailingly loyal as Israel shit on him personally 24/7/365 for 8 years), he was pragmatic enough to realize he needed to let Citibank choose his cabinet even before election day 2008. Worked out well for him.
Obama maybe could have saved liberalism by being a leftist and ending GWOT in 2008 and decisively cutting off Israel but he would probably have gotten himself killed. In any case that ship has sailed, his project crashed, and there’s no universe in which it can be reconstituted

I'll give him credit for the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which a lot of his "progressive allies" like Schumer tried to undermine at the time and were glad to see Trump abrogate it two years later. Grading on a curve, "war with Iran would be bad" didn't take genius to figure out.

In official communications the State Department says the war was started at Israel’s request
So blame Trump my friend. Trump, and only Trump, made the decision to go to war. It’s his stupid, illegal war. Don’t blame Israel.

That's an awkward way to put it. I don't see the Governor there, oh wait...
This is Texas. We are being occupied.

Maybe he had trouble with algebra? In any case his whole health thing has always been soaked in eugenics and race science. He's very careful to only hint at that (he was a skilled trial lawyer after all, if insane) but that's at the center of all of it.

watching this unfettered racism be essentially ignored because it's against a muslim progressive woman is really disheartening. the energy with which the democratic machine can work to criticize hasan or abdul, but remain quiet in defense of ilhan omar... fuck.
Happening Now: Provocateur Jake Lang has just arrived outside the Ilhan Omar & Hasan Piker event in Minneapolis.

This is the most nakedly bigoted American political campaign of this century.
Replying to @Simon_Schuster
RFK: β€œThere's 500 million Arabs in the world, and yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don’t produce literature.” Every aspect of that statement (save Fields) is absolutely false.

Federal Judge Roy Altman says he's taken "ten percent of all the active federal judges in America" on trips to Israel "just in the last three years." Now, he's apparently making state supreme court justices humiliate themselves by competing with one another to go on said trips. "Whoever's going to go is going to have to play Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who wins," he says he told the justices. "I looked down two minutes later, and these supreme court justices were going like this [and playing Rock, Paper, Scissors]." Absolutely insane this is being tolerated.
Pastor John Hagee's "Night to Honor Israel" kicked off by having the venue transition from singing the US national anthem to the Israeli national anthem. Controversial Zionist federal Judge Roy Altman can be seen at Hagee's side proudly singing both anthems.

"Lifelong Moderate liberal"
Lifelong moderate liberal here. With Democrats nominating radicals like Abdul El-Sayed, and Democratic Party leaders cheering him on, I think this is the year where it makes sense for all common-sense, moderate, reasonable Democrats like myself to vote straight ticket GOP

This has been their policy since the beginning.
Zionists: Israel is a safe haven for Jews. Also Zionists: No, no not that type of Jews πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ Apparently, opposing the occupation and standing with Palestinians disqualifies u as a Jew. Israel denied Rabbi Alissa Wise, director of Rabbis for Ceasefire, entry, blocking her from joining a delegation supporting Palestinian farmers during the annual olive harvest in the occupied West Bank.

Good review of a book I won't bother reading. A recurring theme: Gladwell keeps coming up with exciting, counterintuitive takes on any number of topics because he's an incredibly sloppy and lazy researcher if not deliberately dishonest. Take his slop with a truckload of salt.

Bonus Gladwell: it’s actually impressive how much he gets wrong here, on the way to yet another one of his β€œuntold stories” that wasn’t told because it’s bullshit. equalityalec.substack.com/p/…

Amid the celebrations tonight, let’s spare a curse or two for Merrick Garland. Wrote about this a while ago, but his cowardice β€” in contrast to the story in Brazil β€” really does shine through at a moment like this. newrepublic.com/article/2075…

Lmao Flavio Bolsonaro has been without Parliamentary immunity for all of 24 hours and he has so many criminal cases going into gear that the police is already asking he surrenders his passport to avoid him fleeing corruption charges
