Well, this is quite the reversal.

The same president who made mass deportations a defining promise of his presidency is now entertaining a compromise with Democrats over illegal immigration.

[AF Post @AFpost]

Trump endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying immigration maximalists are on the “pretty far right” and suggesting that illegals who have been in the US for 10-15 years should have an opportunity to stay.

@defnoodlesreal Bend over.

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

LOL. And so it begins.

Laura Loomer, whose mouth is practically a vending machine for propaganda, is now going after DeSantis for not being sufficiently pro-Israel.

As I predicted, watch how a select group of pundits treats anyone who doesn’t fall in line with their preferred vision for the GOP in 2028. There will be a sustained effort to undermine Vance and DeSantis while manufacturing support for Rubio.

These people are clearly misreading where American politics is headed.

My prediction is that both parties will increasingly reassess America’s relationship with Israel. Unconditional support is becoming a political liability, and I suspect that reality will become harder to ignore.

Frankly, greater independence in the relationship could benefit both countries.

Yet some pundits seem determined to treat any Republican who questions the status quo as politically unacceptable.

There’s a difference between supporting Israel and demanding that American politicians agree with every aspect of its government’s policies.

That distinction is going to matter enormously in the debate over the GOP’s future.

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

DeSantis @RonDeSantis will traffic in the Woke Reich to the GOP and then we will be left with a nominee who has identical foreign policy as DSA.

He’s besties with Thomas Massie and DeSantis will have @ChristinaPushaw run his campaign and don’t forget, @jamesfishback was an opp that came out of team DeSantis compliments of Pushaw, and DeSantis never said a word about it.

Now Fishback is running around spreading hatred of Jews and is a darling among the Woke Reich.

You even see it now in the way DeSantis is trying to rebrand himself. He was always against the Iranian regime, now he pretends like Trump’s actions in Iran were bad.

He signed legislation in Israel, now he panders to the anti-Israel crowd.

It’s some major shape shifting.

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

You are, and will remain, irrelevant in any meaningful sense.

Your entire claim to fame comes from embarrassing yourself on Jubilee and then getting thoroughly dismantled, intellectually and physically, on a podcast.

More than half your following came after that episode aired.

You’re a loudmouth whose relevance depends on controversy and the attention of clickbait-driven networks like Jubilee.

You’ve mistaken being a spectacle for being someone of substance. People tune in to watch you embarrass yourself, not because they respect what you have to say.

Know your place.

[Def Noodles @defnoodlesreal]

@TheModerateCase Bro stfu nobody is reading your struggle novels

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

The anti-Israel morons apparently don’t realize that AIPAC is only one of several pro-Israel lobbying groups.

Take Jon Ossoff here. Most of the pro-Israel donations to him are from J Street, a liberal organization that frequently disagrees with AIPAC. Ossoff hasn’t taken anything from AIPAC.

This just goes to show how misleading and inaccurate these graphics are.

Any political contribution associated with Israel gets labeled “AIPAC money,” regardless of where it actually came from.

People are so eager to push a narrative that they can’t even be bothered to look into the facts themselves.

[Stephanie Ⓥ @SVcrazycatlady]

Jon Ossoff is a functional Republican. Look at his actual record instead of his abs.

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

@SpursTTID001 To think those are mutually exclusive positions reveals you are low IQ.

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

@Shawn_Farash No, it can’t be so, Shawn!!

Don’t you know it was the “woke Reich” podcast bros, election fraud, artificial inflation from oil companies?!?! 😂

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

Watch the 2028 GOP primary discourse closely.

I expect a handful of self-described “conservative” pundits on this app to spend the next two years trying to undermine JD Vance and Ron DeSantis while pushing Marco Rubio.

From what I understand and have been told, Rubio has little personal interest in mounting a presidential campaign, much less entering a divisive primary against other members of Trump’s political coalition.

Of course, things can change. But for now, my prediction is that we’ll see a sustained effort to manufacture momentum for a Rubio presidential candidacy, despite indications that Rubio himself has little interest in running.

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

For 2 years, far too much of the right’s messaging has been reduced to “owning the libs” and celebrating how angry Democrats supposedly are going to be.

Meanwhile, many average Americans were struggling to afford basic necessities, wondering when all the promises of economic relief would actually translate into their everyday lives.

But retards like this kept (and keep) recycling the same dumb culture-war talking points, as though “upsetting liberals” is some kind of political achievement.

Completely out of touch.

[SuziiiQ @sn3kiii]

@RapidResponse47 Omg liberals are about to lose their fucking shit…… and I’m here for it 😂

🚨 BREAKING: Majority Leader Steve Scalise IMMEDIATELY directs House Republicans to prepare all defenses and map out Democrats’ anti-Trump lawfare target lists to brace for mass “retribution” and guard against it — Fox News

GET READY. I bet Elon is on the list too

He's asking chairs to map out which Trump officials, programs, conservative allies, and industry leaders are likely to end up on Democrats' target list, and to study how recent SUPREME COURT rulings limit what they can do

Democrats haven't even been sworn in yet, and Republicans already know what's coming!

Lawfare season is back 😠

IT’S GOING TO BE A CIRCUS. @BillMelugin_

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

I want to apologize for the tweet I posted in response to Laura Loomer.

It was poorly thought out, written out of frustration, and something I deeply regret.

I want to explain my intentions, not because I believe they absolve me of responsibility, but because I think there’s an important difference between making a hurtful mistake and deliberately trying to hurt people.

When I referenced the Holocaust, I did so intentionally. I want to be upfront about that.

My intention was not to mock the Holocaust or attack Jewish people, but I was very frustrated by Laura’s remarks asking Christian nationalists, “Where was your God last night?” following the midterm elections.

While I am not a Christian nationalist and disagree with their politics, I found the use of our shared faith as a political taunt deeply offensive.

However, frustration with her does not excuse how I chose to respond.

I deliberately reached for one of the most sensitive and painful events in human history, the Holocaust, to make a rhetorical point about the absurdity of using political defeat or suffering to mock someone’s faith.

I recognize that invoking the Holocaust in that context was inappropriate, hurtful, and entirely unnecessary.

There were a hundred different ways I could have made my point, but I chose one that I shouldn’t have.

I’m young, and I’ve admitted to many people close to me that one of my biggest struggles is feeling as though I have to respond to everything I find ignorant, offensive, or wrong.

Because so much of my work and life revolves around social media, I spend an enormous amount of time in an environment where everything feels immediate, every disagreement seems to require a response.

This is something I need to work on. Just because I believe I’m making a valid argument doesn’t mean every way of making that argument is justified.

I don’t expect to be babied and I don’t expect anyone to excuse what I said, and I don’t expect forgiveness from people who were hurt by my words.

I only hope to be understood, not as someone who believes the Holocaust is something to mock or trivialize, but as someone who made a serious error in judgment while trying to make a point I felt strongly about.

I make mistakes, just like everyone else. Sometimes more often than I should. And when those mistakes happen in front of a large audience, the consequences extend far beyond the moment in which they were made.

That’s a responsibility I have to take more seriously.

I also recognize that the people who were hurt by my words had nothing to do with my disagreement with Laura. They didn’t deserve to have one of the darkest chapters in Jewish history invoked as part of a political argument or response.

For the things listed above, I am genuinely sorry, and I own my mistakes.

I need to become better at recognizing when my frustration is getting the better of my judgment, when an argument isn’t worth having, and when the most responsible thing I can do is simply not respond.

I cannot undo what I posted, but I can acknowledge that it was wrong and make a genuine effort not to repeat that mistake.

To those I hurt, particularly members of the Jewish community, I’m sorry. I ask only for understanding, not forgiveness.

Life is a game of lessons, and what you take from each lesson, and how you apply what you’ve learned, is the most important thing.

I hope that, over time, my actions will speak more meaningfully than anything I could say in this statement.

One of the best quotes to live by:

“The man who fears no truths has nothing to fear from lies.”

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

Affordability is, and always will be, one of the biggest priorities for American voters.

Whichever party actually delivers meaningful improvements to Americans’ everyday lives will win from here on out.

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

Do Christian nationalists have a different God than other Christians?

In the same way, do Haredi Jews have a different God than the reform Jews?

Laura has mocked Christianity on numerous occasions, even mocking Charlie Kirk right before he died, labeling him an antisemite.

She hates anyone who doesn’t bow down to Israeli or Jewish supremacy.

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

I asked Laura Loomer where God was during the Holocaust because she, as a Jewish woman, had just mocked Christians by asking, “Where was your God last night?” after the midterms.

My response was a rhetorical reversal, not a comparison between an election defeat and genocide, nor a mockery of Holocaust victims.

I’m not a Christian nationalist. I disagree with Christian nationalists on politics and the extent to which religious beliefs should shape laws governing other people’s lives.

I understand why my question was offensive. That was precisely the point: to expose how cruel it is to invoke suffering or defeat as a way to ridicule someone’s faith and identity.

My point was not that losing an election and the Holocaust are remotely comparable. It was that neither political defeat nor human suffering gives anyone grounds to ridicule another person’s God.

You can disagree with how I made that point, but that is the principle I was defending, and it applies equally to Christians and Jews.

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

@_Maasiyahu_ Needs work for sure.

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

DeSantis seems to be the most viable candidate right now for the 2028 election.

If the midterms were a referendum on Trump, Vance and Rubio will have a difficult time distancing themselves from the administration.

DeSantis has a great track record and none of the baggage.
