Would you run into your local Chinese takeout screaming “hands-off Taiwan” to the counter girl?
Go to Brighton Beach and scream at random Russians about Ukraine?
No? That would be racist you say?
Then stop telling Jerry Seinfeld and other Jews to “free Palestine”.
This is my favorite argument.
In Hiroshima, roughly 140k people died due to the nuclear bomb out of 350k. That’s 40% of the city.
In Nagasaki, 80k people died out of 263k. That’s 30% of the city.
In Gaza, 73k people have died (according to GHM) out of 2.3 million. That’s about 3% of the population. A substantial percentage of that are terrorists.
So Israel has dropped an amount of bombs on Gaza that exceeds the power of the nuclear bombs we dropped on Japan and yet the death toll is far lower both proportionally and on a raw numbers basis.
How is that possible if Israel is committing genocide? Maybe it’s because they’re not.
Again, there is no rational, face value explanation for their behavior. There is no world where you treat the last president's age/health as the most vital thing on the planet, hanging on his every word and just ignore the current president. None.
In all seriousness though, this will (or at least should) go down as one of the biggest media failures in modern history.
The political media absolutely HOUNDED the previous president and made his age/health THE ONLY issue that mattered of his presidency.
And then they helped elect a guy who was just a few years younger (aka still old as shit) with a litany of unexplained health issues, a brain that is visibly detoriating and who brags about taking his dementia test 3x a week.
And then....they just haven't talked about it. At all. You can barely even get them to acknowledge it.
They alleged a big coverup of Biden's health, but they are literally complicit in covering up the current president, Donald Trump's health...which we can all see, right in front of our very eyes.
Just can't put into words how much of a disgrace the political media is...
BIG excerpt out from new @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan book “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump”...apparently WH staff were terrified about the release of a document alleging Trump had a "predilection for nipples" and abused those of an Epstein victim
Seems like the republicans want all of Texas & heck this country to be Vegan, huh?
The incompetence is embarrassing & devastating to our Texas Ranchers 🤦🏾♀️.

Not to harp on it but its really funny to hear some people argue “hey it was a mixed reaction, it wasn’t all boos” and then you click on this and it’s just the deepest, from the gut, loudest boos you’ve ever heard. Like just objectively the most negative response from the crowd.
New reporting reveals Republican nominee for Iowa Governor Zach Lahn lives full time in Kansas.
Lahn says he plans to move to Iowa only if he is elected.
Blow: The is a news show on a news channel and I have an ethical responsibility to say you are lying.
Lambert: Do not call me a liar on national TV sir! You are a liar!
Blow: You are liar.
Since a generic Dem is beating Susan Collins by 10 points in at least one poll, 8 points better than the candidate they half-vetted, perhaps these folks could have some introspection on their ability to discern what voters want.
Dear @SecRollins: You lie. The average life cycle of a Screwworm ranges from 14 to 54 days depending on temperature and humidity.
The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.
If you can’t accept responsibility, or even apologize for messing up, you need to resign.
Campaigning 101 is sitting down w/your candidate & asking "what do we need to know" AND hiring others to scrub that person's background to 1) make sure the candidate isn't lying & 2) having a full picture of what could be used against him. Platner's team did neither one, it seems
Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed our campaign for the US Senate.
We’re building a big tent to take on this corrupt system that Ken Paxton embodies.
