Politics Thread

This is what a faction of the Democratic Party supports.. along with their progressive elite college students and *some to most* administrators.
Well done AntiSemites!!!

” Here is Ghazi Hamad, of Hamas’s political bureau, on Lebanese TV on October 24: “Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country. . . . We are not afraid to say this with full force. . . . We must teach Israel a lesson and we will do it again and again. The Al-Aqsa flood is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth. . . . We are called a nation of martyrs and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.” The television interviewer asks: “Does that mean the annihilation of Israel?” Response from Hamas chief: “Yes of course. The existence of Israel is illogical”

Note: ZERO Republicans, you know, “The Nazis”, support this.

At least the Republicans are trying to offset increased spending with matching cuts elsewhere in this case, instead of the traditional method of just borrowing more. Congress should do this on a lot more spending. The Democrats never do. The Republicans talk about it, but tend not to do it either.

While I agree that government needs to cut wasteful spending, in this case all this is doing is creating another congressional pissing match and delaying needed funds.

Also it appears that those cuts will end up costing more than they save, as they are cutting it from the part of the government that generates the revenue.

Annihilation of the Jewish race indeed was a stated goal of the Nazis. Comparisons to Nazis is usually hyperbole (like pro-life people or conservatives in general). In this case, it is not.

I wonder how many of the average citizen in Gaza are proud to be sacrificed as martyrs.

Get your point but when do start? Pubs have been bitching about too much spending for years and haven’t done a damn thing. On the other side, they think all spending is much needed.

Honestly when it comes to overall and packaged spending, this is where I don’t mind the pissing matches. I think it is refreshing to take up one spending bill at a time. It’s about time we get away from omni/minibus spending. Yes I know this different from international aide, but again got to start somewhere.

The publisher of Mark Meadows's book is suing the former White House chief of staff, arguing in court filings Friday morning that he violated an agreement with All Seasons Press by including false statements about former President Trump's claims surrounding the 2020 election.

Do you suppose that all the people who sent the last guy millions of dollars because he lied that the election was stolen, could sue to get their money back?

Yeah Paul..let's have everyone sue politicians for donations when it's uncovered that they lied. Sounds like a bullet proof plan. Pretty stale take, even for you.

It was just a thought. Spurred by the fact Meadow's publisher is suing HIM.

That's not something you see everyday in the publishing world.

I think Smails point was that you chose this particular incident shows your ongoing "stale" obsession.

Am I worried about a repeat performance by the multiply indicted candidate?
Absolutely. Scares the shit out of me for what would happen to our country, and I can't understand (absent the normal fascist following of a make believe strong man) how a major party has that person leading to be their candidate.

But, I've also never heard of a publisher suing a writer for lying in his book. Maybe it happens often, but not that I know of.
Now, someone suing the author about something the author wrote in a book about that someone...yes, that happens.

This sort of typifies everything about the prior administration and their constant BS that continues even today.
