I’ve never felt inadequate for not going to an Ivy League school, because I know I’m as smart as some of those people but not nearly so entitled. Also being around that many rich wypippo makes me break out in hives. Big State U provided me with an excellent education, and some of the smartest people I know didn’t go to college at all.
When “all about the Benjamins” became a newsbit, I have to admit that I was confused. The phrase had always held the meaning to me of being about $100.00 bills. I must lead a sheltered life.
I remember when Omar's shameless defenders were saying "she couldn't have been hinting at anything anti-Semitic because she's a refugee who doesn't have any understanding of Western culture". Well she understands it well enough to make rap references I have to look up.
"It seems you have no examples of her making statements about Jews, which is what you claimed and what I asked."
Oh good Christ, the problem is that she's using tropes long associated with Jews as a way to criticize Israel. You running around saying "but she didn't use the word 'Jews'" is hardly a triumph, because it's missing the point.
Maybe "Israel" has hypnotized me like they've hypnotized the world. You know, when Omar talks about Israel controlling the world, don't be surprised when people immediately think of this: https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
... or are you going to tell me that you don't think that has anything to do with Jews either, after all it could be a cowboy with a poorly-rendered sheriff's badge.
For years people have equated anti-Zionism with anti-semitism and every time I try to draw a distinction, I get accused of anti-semitism. Pointing out that the Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian land since 1967 and keep encouraging and financing construction of Israeli settlements on that land while bulldozing Palestinian homes and driving them to refugee camps similarly invites such a label. I'll leave it there.
Also - that assumes anyone ever believes a word about protecting anyone who isn't him or looks like him (&/or isn't willing to enable him) coming out of Mitch McConnell's mouth.
This country as a whole hasn't dealt with the fact that this country was founded as a slave colony (and that the harm that festers precisely because the country continues to fail to reckon with it endures today).
You *don't see* monuments to Nazis in Germany.
But the putative government in GA fought to hold up early voting there in celebration of Robert E Lee's birthday (and he's not even from Georgia as well as being a traitor).
And no matter what else you have to say about Hitler, you must admit that he did kill Hitler.

Its real and yes he is wearing them that I can almost guarantee.

Me too. Israel isn't "the Jews" I'm glad to say. The Likud Party used to be a weird outlier.
Since the IHRA definition has become accepted pretty much any attack on Israel qualifies as anti-Semitic.

When you call these people 'conservatives' instead if what they really are, you're doing them a favor.

What do we need Josh Hawley for when we have posters on this very site doing the full "whatabout Ilhan Omar" routine for the second day in a row?
