Yeah. I support Israel's right to exist and its right to defend itself, but not its willingness to kill civilians in other countries, nor its non-right to build settlements in land it doesn't own.
Pretty sure Tom Cotton is an undead vampire. Observe the lifeless eyes, the joyless vessel of empty despair, and a pallor reminiscent of skim milk. And that’s before he says anything.
When the Ds hold the White house it's a parade of republicans, ostensibly to hold their feet to the fire, and when the GOP has the WH it's ALSO a parade of republicans to remind everyone how swell they are.
I'm still not understanding how anybody thinks having Tom Cotton on as a guest is a good idea. A more toxic, malignant, authoritarian creep you'd be hard put to----oh well, not that hard put: throw a stone when the Republican Senate caucus gets together to polish up its talking points, and with a good throw and just the right flick of the wrist, you'll hit at least three toxic, malignant, authoritarian creeps, maybe more.
But anyhow: I'm still not understanding what it is the network and cable news shows like about him. Are they engaging in "best of a bad lot" thinking? Is he one of the few the billionaires have authorized to go on-air and say stuff? Does somebody actually imagine he sounds even remotely coherent and not at all like a cut-rate, bargain-basement Nazi who isn't even one of the good bargain-basement Nazis, like Rand Paul, but is instead one of the smarmy, precious, Eddie Haskell bargain-basement Nazis?
"Next on the TMAC network we'll talk to this guy at the side of the road screaming at people! Is he the next toxic, malignant, authoritarian creep of the year? Find out after these words from Geritol and Flybyknight Gold Futures!"
Used to be, people would point to the Senate and say that’s where the saner, more moderate republicans reside. Now they’re just as big of assholes as those in the House.
🤦🏼♂️Tom Cotton, the constant and eternal sanitary pad of the Senate🙄
WELL USED sanitary pad.
Ta, MM. I. Just. Can't.
Tapper still sucks for even having this assclown on.
Cotton gets taken way too seriously by the press in general.
Nah mang the more Cotton talks the better. Not excusing Slapper tho.
Struggling to imagine how Biden/Harris can't be seen as supporting Israel.
Aid (all military) for Israel has tripled. In the last year of PAB's it had dropped to the lowest level - $4.5 billion.
Now it is up to $12.58 billion.

With an agreement to continue this till 2028.
"Allegedly"
US munitions are killing civilians in Gaza. When I was a kid I watched napalm strikes on TV. I support Israel but goddamn.
Yeah. I support Israel's right to exist and its right to defend itself, but not its willingness to kill civilians in other countries, nor its non-right to build settlements in land it doesn't own.
He definitely should STFU forever.

You might not be an antisemite for criticizing Israel's actions or its leaders, but you sure as hell will be labelled as one if you do.
"𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭’𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦."
Tom Cotton's corollary to this is: If you defend Israel's actions or its leaders, you cannot possibly be an antisemite.
Crappy rule, crappy corollary.
It's a package deal.
By some. Don't exaggerate.
We need to shuck this Cotton....
"Why some of my best friends are etc. etc."
"Trump has Jewish grandchildren." Uh huh. Ask him to name them.
Hell, ask him to name all five of his legitimate children.
He missed Eric once. Who was standing up with him.
If the Quisling loses, I think we'll all owe a vote of thanks to black women voters.
“I can’t be a bigot because I have a [blank] spouse/kids/grandkids/friend/etc.” is such a tired trope"
And yet look how far it has gotten Ginny Thomas.
Ginny Thomas is not currently running for anything; just saying.
That we know of.
No, she’s just working behind the scenes to end democracy.

Chronic masturbator's pallor. H/T Martin Amis.
Illegitimate son of Warren Jeffs, I believe.
Every time I consider his forever enjailment I feel a little better about the world.
Is there an inherent rule that Dems don't appear on Sunday news shows? Something about the weekend having to be good news free?
Yes. Because if republicans can’t spew lies unchallenged, it’s biaaaaaaasssssed.
If you want to see Democrats on the Sunday news shows, watch MSNBC.
Only wingnut 'views' and 'opinions' matter on Sunday. It's in the bible.

<i>A more toxic, malignant, authoritarian creep</i>
Stephen Miller says, "Hold my Kool-Aide."
considering Trump to pimp out Ivanka to anybody that wasn't Jared and her and Jared were dating, I have a feeling Trump doesn't like Jared at all.
also, liberals say Biden is doing too much to help Israel. right wing dickheads say Biden is not doing enough.
Jared's pop actually served time for slum lord shitteries therefore a LOSER.
Trash Dump and his evil daddy were busted for racist policies in action, over and over.
"There are two groups that insist on conflating the State of Israel and Jewish people: antisemites and zionists."
