They just won't tolerate it. When women make accusations against a powerful politician many years later, conservatives will demand that they be believed. They are extremely consistent about this as a principle, without regard to who it helps or hurts.
The American Right takes #MeToo claims very seriously. If a woman emerges to allege she was raped years ago, and does so at a politically sensitive moment, they will not tolerate any attempt to cast aspersions on her credibility or, worse, attempts to minimize its gravity.
250 years after the Declaration of Independence, it’s time for a Declaration of Independence from Political Advertising! By informing our votes, we can transform a political education system of election advertising that enables big money donors to corrupt our government.
"I came into Congress 13 years ago with the stated intention of being the leading defender of Israel in the US Senate, and I have worked every day to do that" -- Ted Cruz (R-Jerusalem).
The Iran War just became America’s most unpopular war. Its net support has sunk to –32% in June, below the Vietnam War’s –31%
Wow! Amazing. Texas senate seat may soon flip blue. If Talarico succeeds, I predict he will become our next President.
Had I not terminated the Iran Deal and then started a new war against Iran with my manager in Tel Aviv, then Iran by now would have a nuclear weapon and a military base on Mars and hypnosis machines and they would have nuked Israel and ruled the world through mind control.
This will forever be the Gold Medal of this twisted competition to see how severely American politicians can proclaim their supreme devotion to Israel:
The amazing thing about Israel trying to derail the deal by insisting on the right to bomb Lebanon: Trump announced on April 18 that as part of a deal, he ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon, claiming it's "PROHIBITED." Israel laughed in his face and bombed the next day.
(If I were an Israeli with standard Israeli views, I would also be quite pleased with everything Trump did for my country. He promised during the 2024 campaign, when standing before his Queen Miriam Adelson, to "Make Israel Great Again." That was a vow he clearly meant):
NYT/Siena poll | 5/11-5/15 RV In the dispute between Israel and the Palestinians, which side do you sympathize with more: Israel or the Palestinians? 🔵 Democrats • Palestinians: 57% • Israel: 17% 🔴 Republicans • Palestinians: 9% • Israel: 66% ⚪️ Independents • Palestinians: 44% • Israel: 29%
If you say the US has no interest in continuing war in Iran, and Trump is only doing it to serve Israel and the Gulf State tyrannies he loves and that enrich his family, you'll be called an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist. But then Trump just comes out and says it himself:
Dana Williamson’s attorney McGregor Scott says at sentencing they will argue she was trying to help a friend. Williamson has pleaded guilty in case where she helped Xavier Becerra’s longtime chief of staff steal funds from his campaign account.
It's bizarre watching Americans urge a foreign government to sue US journalists. #IsraelFirst These abuses have long been proven. The Israeli group #btselem issued a 2024 report on severe abuses. Israeli leaders defend rape as a war weapon when video of IDF soldiers was leaked.
As for whether to work with people who have expressed naughty views, DNC liberals love Mehdi Hasan. Hasan called the Daily Mail fascist, only for them to reveal that he begged to be hired as their left-wing token to denounce abortion and gay marriage. www.leefang.com/p/mehdi-hasa...
(There seems to be some confusion about which life-long GOP operative founded The Bulwark: whether it was supreme neocon and warmonger Bill Kristol, or the long-time GOP operative and alcohol industry lobbyist Sarah Longwell. For those interested):
Campaign all you want with Bill Kristol and Liz Cheney -- who have immense amounts of blood on their hands -- but Hasan Piker is off limits. Amazing that Bill Kristol's website has become a leading Dem foreign policy arm and the self-anointed moral conscience of the Party.
When Somali Americans were accused of fraud in Minnesota, there was endless discourse about what it supposedly revealed about Somali and Muslim culture. Will those who led that discussion do the same for this massive fraud ring and the monolithic group the FBI just arrested?👇
Has China become a rising, rapdily developed global superpower despite the fact that they have not fought a single war in 47 years, or because of it?
Brazil's President Lula da Silva will travel to Washington and meet with President Trump in the White House on Thursday.
Total losers. They love to talk a big tough game on line about how they're boldly protecting the Constitution, but they always snap into line and do what they're told by the US Surveillance and Security State:
It’s odd that Bari Weiss chose Shayndi Raice as CBS News International editor—she lives in Tel Aviv, edited a disputed Gaza story, and her father-in-law is Jonathan Pollard’s rabbi.
Perm was attacked today, about 1500-1800km from Ukraine. It is ridiculous to believe that these attacks on Russia are done solely by Ukraine. We are led by lunatics who will surely scream "unprovoked" when a powerful retaliation comes.
No inflammatory rhetoric about the American president please.
As long as Netanyahu is happy, then you should be happy, no matter the sacrifices demanded of you.
Oh god. Journalists go to wars and prison. They're shot at and threatened by the state. I'm sure hearing distant gunshots was scary but enough with this self-centering of emotions. If you need therapy over it, go get it, but a journalist's "trauma" is not of public relevance.
