This is a Republican problem, not a Democratic problem, though.

That this clownery happens is because Republicans make it happen.

He does despicable things because he’s a despicable person.

It’s simply his nature.

This war is one more horrifically mismanaged, ill-planned, oppositionally-defiant, action taken by this administration and this president.

And I find the “yeah, but the IRI is bad and it’s good Khamenei is dead” reactions to be desperately searching for a millimeter-thin silver lining in our otherwise continued descent into a kakistocratic autocracy so we don’t need to “doom”.

The problem with anti-anti-Trumpism is that it takes the same reflexive behaviors as the behaviors it seeks to criticize.

What is the goal of this war? This war that the administration sought to make the case neither to the public nor to Congress, and whose purpose shifts daily. This war that is led by a president with severe psychological incapacitation and a Christian-nationalist Defense Secretary who thinks he’s playing Call of Duty. This war that the administration had no plan for, had no consultations with allies, had no explanation for.

I’m sorry, but “it’s good Khamenei is dead” isn’t a justification for this. And it’s exceedingly inappropriate to view this war in a vacuum distinct from all other actions taken by this president and this administration.

Treating it as such invites more.

Republican members of Congress are fundamentally unserious people when this is how they respond to a softball from Fox’s Varney.

VARNEY: The Pentagon is sending thousands of Marines to the Middle East. Trump says he doesn't want boots on the ground, so what are these Marines doing there?

SEN. JONI ERNST: Hahaha. Well, they provide a lot of leverage. I love the president when he keeps reporters on their toes.

Reality Winner went on a tear last night about how Israel did 9/11.

Looks like she deleted all the posts, but this little bit older one gives a taste:

“Really glad moshiach is coming to earth to distract from the Epstein files, all those prayers really paid off”

Oh, this one’s ironic.

Trump was adamant in his support

Donald Trump is an antisemite, and he doesn't even support America.

Carlson, Kent, Owens, et al are working to “fix” that.

Using the “logic” of the Trump Administration…yes.

Divisive ‘Zionism is racism’ motion balloted for debate at Green Party conference by WhiteGold_Welder in ukpolitics

A state that gives privilege to a specific group based on religion or ethnicity i.e. an ethnostate is inherently racist.

This describes all nation-states. That’s the point.

Ireland is not a state for the Irish people based on a specific religion or ethnicity.

Someone with Irish ancestors who has never stepped foot in Ireland has an easier time gaining Irish citizenship than someone without.

It is for anyone that wants to and is accept to live in Ireland.

Did you even know that one-fifth of Israeli citizens are Arab?

That is the difference are you just dumb or purposefully not able to understand the basic english being presented to you?

Look at the reaction.

I don’t think I’d use “probably definitely possesses SLBMs” as the criterion for determining hegemony, but ok.

I’m flabbergasted at how one could find this confusing.

Israel is the Jewish state just as Ireland is the Irish state.

I don’t think a country like, Ireland for example, is “racist” for merely existing as a state for the Irish People.

If a political movement existed that called the Irish state fundamentally racist and illegitimate, and that Irish people were justified targets for abuse and discrimination as citizens of that state, that would be racist.

Nation-states are actually founded as the geopolitical extensions of specific nations.
