@ElderCareLawyer @Acyn @MeidasTouch A lot of Democrats aren’t much better these days.

[Gerald Posner @geraldposner]

Thanks to @BillMaher — I’ve been a guest on his show since the Comedy Central days in the 1990s — for paying attention to last week’s “Genocide for Dummies” and the companion piece on how the far left turned that word into a congressional litmus test. Scott Wiener is the case study. You nailed it.

Interesting that Dana Bash was sitting there. Colleagues tell me the article made the rounds inside CNN.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Bill Maher tells a CNN anchor and a New York Times reporter to their faces that Gaza is not a genocide and the left only says it because “that’s as deep as they go.”

Maher’s rant started when he brought up Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, whom he called “Obama-esque.”

But Maher says there is one thing holding him back that Democrats won’t admit out loud: he’s Jewish.

MAHER: “He’s kind of Obama-esque when he speaks, and he really lit into Trump in a way that people seem to be, certainly on the left, thirsting for. And the problem is he’s Jewish. I mean, I know we don’t want to talk about that, but we need to talk about that because that is the situation in the Democratic Party."

"They think Gaza is a genocide. It is not. There’s an actual meaning into the word genocide. It doesn’t come close."

"And they've all just signed on to this because they’re just big on buzzwords and lawn signs and bumper stickers. That’s as deep as they go.”

BASH: “And likes on their social media.”

MAHER: “And likes. So you have to say it. There was a Congressman Scott Wiener. He’s... going to take Nancy Pelosi’s seat in San Francisco, and he wasn’t saying genocide and they [leftists] surrounded him, a mob, and yelled at him and said 'You’re not gay.' He’s gay. 'You're not really gay unless you' — what the f*ck does that have to do with genocide?”

MAHER: “‘Say it!’ And he did [say genocide] because the Democrats are cowards. What a coward!”

It turns out that “Queers for Palestine” is not just a slogan but a demand. Say “genocide” or you’re not gay.

@WrongAgain1174 @jemelehill I ain’t pissed, I love Day Day! Got a pic w him at Izzone camp out freshman year. You’re missing out, too bad so sad.

[Ben Golsky @bgolsky]

@DanZimberg I think he was simply pointing out things the far left won’t discuss they do talk about spending differential. I don’t live in Michigan and I’m thankful I don’t have to make that decision, I am no fan of Rogers. But I also don’t like what I’m hearing out of El Sayed or the DSA.

[Ben Golsky @bgolsky]

@DanZimberg So he doesn’t need independents, nor Jewish voters to win because it’s a general election? You’re right, primary voters are different than general election, you may see less democrats show up at the polls rather than voter Rogers.

[Ben Golsky @bgolsky]

@Justin_Rogers Wouldn’t we know know if he signed already?

[Ben Golsky @bgolsky]

@_cheeksii @MLB @tigers Never said it did. So you just on here to shit on tiger fans. There’s the door, see your way out.

[Ben Golsky @bgolsky]

Is there anyone with eyes working in the @MLB replay booth? How can you not see Torkelson tagged his foot? Call stands bullshit @tigers

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

Hi @jonstewart no, no there is not a genocide in Gaza. No those that define genocide have not decided it to be. No court or tribunal. No Israel is not trying to kill a group slowly. I've been to Gaza 7 times since October 7. Interviewed every Israeli leader in their chain of command. Observed the IDF in operations in Gaza. Their intent and actions is the opposite of trying to destroy in whole or part a group. @JohnFetterman is right. I am more than happy to talk this with you from any angle that you might have. Thank you for what you've done for American veterans and their families. But on this one, not correct. https://t.co/G7Iy9Ki3g5

[Ben Golsky @bgolsky]

@Electrificiency @emzanotti Except for the fact that the “Israeli lobby” he references is actually made up of American Jews, for the most part.

[Ben Golsky @bgolsky]

@joshgerstein @kyledcheney And “under budget.” But which budget? The original or any of the subsequent ones?
