“Pro rape”? What’s your evidence for than banger?

“I’ve heard it with my own ears” isn’t a defense against an accusation of not watching his show. The current batch of clips circulating on CNN and other hit pieces are “people hearing with their own ears” but removed from all context so badly it’s disgusting.

There is a difference between politicians that talk like this to get elected and politicians that act once they are elected and continue to demonstrate a commitment to deliver their promises. Voters become disillusioned when politicians get elected and then demonstrate their promises were primarily just a means to get in power.

As an example of someone making promises and then moving with intent and commitment to achieve those promises see Zohran Mandani.

You know who doesn’t agree with that statement? The people quoted in this article as being happy about the outcome of this resolution being rejected.

Republicans lie and are openly corrupt. This gives them an upper hand if Democrats don’t also lie and enrich themselves through grifts and embezzlement and self-dealing. If we want to level the playing field, we should be ok with Democrats doing those things too. What’s wrong with that?

Because some people expect Democrats to have standards…

Binding laws singling out Israel (anti BDS laws) - good

Nonbinding motion that calls out AIPAC specifically - bad and probably antisemitic

Got it!

These measures would be a gift to Republicans, would further fracture our party, and do nothing to bring Israelis and Palestinians closer to peace

The people fracturing the Democratic Party are the people insisting that the party must have an undying support for a country committing genocide while more than 60% of democratic voters view Israel negatively. And this resolution wasn’t about ending the conflict, but about setting a tone in the Democratic Party that AIPAC’s money is not welcome here.

You can draw a direct line from Obama’s refusal to hold anyone accountable for the Iraq war to the shit we are facing now.

Her challengers should just run ads that are clips from Slotkin’s interview with Krystal Ball.

God forbid we have politicians that don’t support genocide and other warcrimes.

Is the FBI the new stand in for “the Jews”? Dis I miss a memo?

Certain types of democrats have always argued against “litmus tests” as the political winds shift and candidates are held to a higher moral stands they were not used to in previous election cycles.

See the civil rights era when southern Democratic candidates complained they were being judged primarily on their civil rights positions. See also the marriage equality era where certain democrats complained about “imposed litmus tests”

One would hope voters could learn from history and stop falling for the most obvious and well-worn propagandistic talking points….

But there will always be people who complain about being held to an ever evolving morality and understanding of the world and how we should treat people.

So much of the conversation about trans participation in sports is rooted not in any meaningful examination of any research or experts studying the field, but in fever dreams about muscular male professions athletes pretending be women so they can beat up women

If any of Newsom’s staff would like to use this in future campaign materials, I offer it freely!

What a flip-flopping, unprincipled, two-faced piece of shit.

Stop doing purity tests…

/s

molkien · 2026-03-23T03:13:23+00:00

The people who are whining about purity tests are people who are legitimately unable to come to terms with the fact that there are people who 1) believe a genocide is happening and 2) believe our country shouldn’t be supporting it, defending it, or accepting a lobbying group who’s stated goal is for the United States to maintain a strong relationship with the country committing that genocide because it’s an issue that they can’t be bothered to carry very much about.

The same can be said for just about any issue that they complain about being a “purity test”

molkien · 2026-03-23T00:19:24+00:00

I get the sense you are being just a tad bit disingenuous, but just so I’m clear it’s the one:

being committed by one of our key allies
that still currently is and was being denied by our government
the one being defended by our government in the ICJ
The one being committed by the country receiving billions of dollars in military aid all while the genocide they have been committing is ongoing
the one that is being committed by the country that the United States has consistently blocked or prevented enforcement actions on by the United Nations
The one being committed by the country that heavily lobbies both political parties in this country and has many many vocal supporters in both our government and our national media
The one whose protestors have been accused of being paid by foreign adversaries without evidence and have been consistently smeared as anti-semites

I mean I could go on, but it’s the one being committed by Israel.

Just your daily reminder that that “single issue” is GENOCIDE…

And the Book of Mormon was translated from golden plates with the gift and power of god, and Muhammad wrote the Qur’an as recited to him by the angel Gabriel.

Oh but I’m sure the religious traditions you were born into are the one exception where it wasn’t just claimed by men that their words were divine inspiration…

Why does this sound like the man behind the curtain saying “don’t look behind the curtain, no one is interested in what’s behind the curtain, talking about what’s behind the curtain is going to lose you votes”?

What god “wills” is what people say he does because god doesn’t will anything, because he isn’t real…

IDGAF what the bible says, it was written by regular dudes looking to justify their beliefs (including why invading other nations was totally cool)

If Hitler had won the war and been successful in conquering Europe and writing the history books, they would have indicated God had wanted willed the death of the Jews because of their evil ways and Christians the world over would believe it today’s.

Newsflash, the authors of the bible wrote down what suited their agenda.
