People who support genocide in Palestine and cheer every imperialist US war talking about tattoos and kik accounts "burning moral credibility" is a perfect microcosm of this whole obscene discourse.
Genociders don't get to appeal to moral credibility. You already burned yours.
It's not just the evidence of assault.
It's not just the Nazi tattoo
It's not just lying about the Nazi tattoo
It's not just the Kik account
It's not just the adulterous sexting
It's not just the deranged posting
It's all of it (and the more that may emerge).
This is the guy you want to burn your moral credibility for to beat ... Susan Collins?
@DavidAFrench Do you not understand how ridiculous it is to support genocide and then say nazi tattoos and adultery are disqualifying? Like that just doesn't even enter your brain before you hit "post?"
You're just gonna keep walking face first into this rake that's been laid for you?
@DavidAFrench Do you still support genocide in Palestine and intentionally deadname transgender people because "correctness is more important than politeness" or whatever?
At what point are neocon bigots going to figure out "moral credibility" is not a currency you possess to transact with?
@JD_Tuccille@reason Literally every Republican and every zionist in Congress is more bigoted than Ilhan Omar, which definitionally makes her one of the least bigoted officeholders before you even start digging. This is shameful.
@mattyglesias Platner overcame the deliberate effort by the pro-genocide faction to drag Mills out of her crypt in a hail mary bid to ruin the campaign there, so why does that deserve grace?
If the genocide dems wanted "grace" they could have gracefully just let that race be.
The number of people currently alive on this planet that have engaged in more political violence than Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton could fit in my living room.
@mattyglesias two weeks ago: idk what happened but something sure has led to a huge shift in Democratic support for Palestine.
@mattyglesias today: so as far as I can tell the goal of pro-Palestine protests was to elect Trump?
😑
@briebriejoy Is this the same @mattyglesias who just a week ago opined that "anti-Israel" is now NOT a toxic position for Dems to have?
So this dude is looking directly at the massive fruits of these protests and still can't figure out what the point was? He just gets "help Trump?" Jesus.
@Lauren_V_Egan Biden called anti-genocide protesters "repugnant." Josh Shapiro equated them with the KKK.
You fuckers don't get to be smarmy about this. You did everything you could to crush these protests because you're genocidal freaks.
For thousands of years, people have looked at the cosmos and wondered: if I were much closer to those things, would they appear much larger in my view?
CNN has the answer.
@neeratanden@theinfradev Couldn't even bother to mention Israel here eh? The nightmare is just sorta something that happened to them huh? Not beating the charge.
@porterthereport can I get some insight into what this reference to "Islamist extremist violence" is doing in this article about Rima Hassan and the Japanese Red Army?
Is it just that she has an Arabic surname or is there like a logical nexus between the two things?
Whatever else you want to say about Pezeshkian's open letter, I'll give him one thing: it's been nearly a decade since a President has addressed the American people in fluent, intelligible English.
Thought that was pretty cool.
