Q: What do AOC and Eric Swalwell have in common, besides being unserious blowhards?
A:
Real or fake. She’s either blowing smoke out of one end or out of both.
Why doesn’t AOC get a photo op of herself crying at the border between Israel and Gaza, like the Mexico border photo op she did?
Nikki Haley was right. It was an attack on America, too.
Following years of Republican cheering in the wake of mass school shootings here at home, I no longer find it weird or puzzling the way Republicans get sexually turned on at the prospect of a mass extinction event involving children in an overseas conflict zone.
Spoken by all “the good guys” throughout history, never.
@ 4
I no longer find it weird or puzzling the way Republicans get sexually turned on at the prospect of a mass extinction event involving children in an overseas conflict zone.
Perhaps it’s because you found so many of your ilk popping boners at the mass extinction event involving children in an overseas conflict zone just last Saturday, so you’ve had several days to become accustomed to the response.
The congresswoman from Hamas.
I think it was after the 2015 slaughter of 16 people in San Bernardino that fellow Californian Nancy Pelosi, joined by the majority of the House Democrat caucus, went silent for 2 1/2 days. That’s how long it took them to gin up a reason that Democrat tolerance and encouragement of Muslim violence wasn’t directly responsible for what happened.
Same old, same old.
Oh Gym…..
You didn’t want this out but it’s out.
Ok, so let’s assume that America is just the percentage of people who vote Republicans and are AOK with covering a decade of male coach on male wrestler rape,
The entitlement of that guy.
BTW, lots of of record and unnamed republicans telling Politico that a ultaMaga speaker Jordan would likely cost them seats and likely the majority if it is allowed to happen.
Doubtful Jordan has 217 votes either.
Kids, you’re going to have to pick someone that at least a handful of Democrats would consider allowing to serve or the House is shut down until January 2025.
And then you can point the finger at Democrats for shutting it down and even your most loyal supporters will say, “Da fuq you mean?”
8,
Perhaps the even bigger issue with Gym is that he would cost them so much money.
For “some reason” none of the big dollar PAC donors want to have anything to do with that guy.
And a whole lot of members in Biden districts are absolutely dependent on that money to survive next year.
@ 8
In a private meeting after Scalise won the nomination for speaker, Jordan stated, “You get one ballot and when you go down, you will nominate ME!” When Scalise pushed back, “America wants ME!” and then he stormed out.
This reads like The Even Bigger Fucking Moron‘s last attempt at script-writing.
An anti-Semitic POS at Stanford got his ass canned, at least from teaching.
Stanford instructor removed for targeting Jewish students as ‘colonizers’ after Hamas attack on Israel
And hey, it turns out the dude’s a friend of Colin Kaepernick’s:
What are the odds, libbies? Kaepernick was the dude’s “star pupil“.
@10
That script comes courtesy of a public interview given by Rep Ann Wagner (R-MO)
Two options. 1, it actually happened. 2, a Missouri republican hates Jim Jordan so much she’s ready to make up a story to keep him from ever becoming speaker.
It’s now assumed that if a Jordan nomination comes to the floor there are 20 republicans who will not vote for him.
“It’s Over” Wear that quote with pride.
“Papers please” part 2.
Can’t imagine there are any law enforcement officers who will just randomly stop people who look like they know their way around a taqueria just to see if they crossed illegally. And how long before a guy who didn’t bring his ID on a jog ends up in a detention center until he can PROVE he’s not ‘illegal’. SB-11 passed and is on to the house where it is assumed to have wide support.
Oh and Galveston just lost the racist redistricting case before a Trump appointed judge. Because the voting rights act has outlived it’s usefulness. If you weren’t following, the county drew maps that split up the various non-whites so that all four of the new districts were at minimum 62% white.
It’s LITERALLY the kind of dilution of minority votes the voting rights act was passed to eliminate.

A text message by “Progressive Democrats of Indiana,” which doesn’t exist, inviting the public to a “Free Palestine Rally” has been traced to the Hamilton County, Indiana, Republican Party.
https://www.rawstory.com/free-palestine-rally/
Why does the Hamilton County GOP support Hamas?
No matter how much makeup she slathers on, she’ll never be the woman that Queen YLB is.
Genetics are funny that way.
“Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Palestinian civilians in Gaza were ‘responsible’ for the Saturday attack by Hamas. ‘It is an entire nation out there that is responsible. It’s not true this rhetoric about civilians [being] not aware, not involved. It’s absolutely not true,’ Herzog said Friday. ‘They could have risen up, they could have fought against that evil regime which took over Gaza in a coup d’état.'”
https://www.rawstory.com/israeli-president-isaac-herzog-says-entire-nation-of-palestine-responsible-for-hamas-a/
That makes no more sense than arguing the Jews being herded naked into the gas chambers were responsible for the Holocaust because they didn’t rise up against the Nazis. It’s simply a lame attempt to justify genocide against Palestinian civilians who have no more power over Hamas than the Jews had to resist Hitler.
Things are coming into focus. It seems clear Hamas plotted these atrocities to provoke Israel into an overreaction that would cost it sympathy and support in much of the world. And it appears Israeli leaders like Herzog are taking the bait. Having been caught with their pants down, they’re now going to get suckered again.
@ 8, 10, 12
What you posted cut out some of what Politico reported. Your post attributed to Scalise something that was reportedly said by Jordan.
It’s also relevant that Wagner was not in the room to hear this purported conversation. Not that inaccuracy has ever bothered you before.
@3 Will Nikki be behind the fence waving a Confederate flag?
@6 “Perhaps it’s because you found so many of your ilk popping boners at the mass extinction event involving children in an overseas conflict zone just last Saturday”
People who need to make shit up to have an argument don’t have an argument.
@7 Parroting Ted Cruz’s lies is a sure sign of weakness. You’re weak, doc. Your arguments are weak. You’re squawking like a parrot suffering from a sore throat.
Jim Jordan’s spokesperson, last seen holding a bucket half full of ‘please stop talking about how I got you raped’ excuses, says it didn’t happen the way “Wagner and other Republicans” said it did.
Totally reliable source.
Multiple people / one guy who’s job it is to make Jim look reasonable.
@18 I don’t really care what machinations went on in GOP cloakrooms, but by your own account, it appears Jordan nominated Scalise knowing he wouldn’t be elected, and did so to quickly get Scalise out of the way and expedite his own path forward.
14,
If they are unable to substantiate their claims about misconduct in the investigation, then they lose their entitlement to protected status under the statute.
The local DC AUSA offered the assistance of his office to Weiss and made no attempt to interfere. Under intense political pressure from partisan Republicans Weiss, the spineless worm hand picked by Trump and Barr, appears to have looked for cover and excuses.
And Grassley supplied a false witness to corroborate the excuse.
They have to let the process run it’s course. But both these guys may face criminal charges for the leaks they’re responsible for.
I doubt Grassley can protect them. Nor can he make it worth their sacrifice.
@ 22
Totally reliable source.
At least my link attributed the quote to the right guy. I note that your source is so reliable that you didn’t post a link to it, coward.
At some point the blood lusty troll is going to have to confront that Israel gave Palestinians 24 hours to leave through the only border crossing into Egypt, which IDF forces bombed and destroyed three days ago.
The leaflets were to provide some deniability but the intent is clear. Kill as many arabs as possible and just say, “They were Hamas.”
@25
Yep, it was missing a word but context clue….look at the next bit of the post.
Is SCALISE the child rape defender?
Keep trying. So much winning
I don’t see anything in this letter to Biden from progressive Democrats that is unreasonable or supports terrorists.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/13/progressive-lawmakers-letter-biden-israel-00121463
Israel’s anger is understandable, but taking it out on innocent Palestinian civilians, half of whom are children, will only turn Israel into a pariah, which is what Hamas wants.
@ 26
At some point the blood lusty troll is going to have to confront that Israel gave Palestinians 24 hours to leave through the only border crossing into Egypt, which IDF forces bombed and destroyed three days ago.
In a report updated 2 hours ago CNN says that Egypt denies that the Rafah crossing is closed.
And even if there was no question that the crossing is open, Egypt has seen plenty over the 16 years of Hamas rule of Gaza, and isn’t about to allow that Hamas human garbage into its country:
Egypt says Israel seeks to empty Gaza, rejects corridors for civilians
Cairo says it will allow aid to be delivered through its border to Gaza after closing it to civilians fleeing the war.
That headline is from Al-Jazeera. But what do they know.
@ 28
I don’t see anything in this letter to Biden from progressive Democrats that is unreasonable or supports terrorists.
Then ask yourself
1) whether one paragraph of the letter in your link fully represents its content
2) why barely one-quarter of the House Democrat caucus signed on.
Here’s the whole fucking letter,
https://jayapal.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Letter-Expressing-Concern-on-the-Humanitarian-Situation-in-Gaza.pdf
which you have not yet read, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.
Don’t whine to me, asshole. Whine to the 150 House Democrats who didn’t sign it.
Now as for telling Gazans to clear out of Gaza City, I get it. Hamas has underground tunnels and weapons depots, and to get at those, Israeli troops have to go in, a potentially very bloody business if they can’t level entire city blocks. And understandably, they don’t want to give Hamas time to leave out with their weapons. I also get the fact that when cities become military targets, civilian casualties are likely to occur. The Allied bombing of German and Japanese cities in WW2 killed many civilians. War has ugly necessities, and Hamas started the war now occurring in Gaza. But Israel is going to have responsibilities in the aftermath. After the Axis defeat, the U.S. and its allies assumed the feeding and care of the German and Japanese civilian populations, rebuilt their countries, and established benign governments they would eventually run themselves. Israel can’t just flatten Gaza to defeat Hamas, and then walk away. Basic morality will require them to do for the Gaza refugees what the Allies did for the defeated Axis populations. Their job is not just to destroy Hamas, but to rebuild Gaza and lay the foundation of a decent future life for its residents. That’s a responsibility of victors, and the U.S. and its allies should encourage Israel to follow through with that endeavor and provide material support in the form of money, materials, and relief supplies.
@29 “isn’t about to allow that Hamas human garbage into its country”
So you’re OK with Egypt allowing the 2.1 million Gazans who aren’t Hamas human garbage into their country?
The Egyptians will want to know, of course, how to separate the wheat from the chaff. They will be concerned about Hamas terrorists sneaking in with the flood of refugees. How do you screen a million people in 24 hours?
Lacking a solution for that, I expect you to fall back on your standard mantra of “kill ’em all and let God sort ’em out.” But if you’re prepared to offer something better, I’m all ears.
@ 28, 30
Here are the five points in the letter:
Why no requests that Hamas’ behavior be guided by international law, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit?
You wanted to know what might be considered unreasonable or supportive of terrorism? How about the absence of a call for Hamas not to harm innocent civilians?
This is why the other 150-plus member of the House Democrat caucus want no part of this one-sided screed.
@ 32
But if you’re prepared to offer something better, I’m all ears.
Well, for starters I’d like to see far more secondary explosions, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. Civilians don’t have a place to hide. Hamas hides in the tunnels.
@30 I don’t need to ask myself such questions. I judge the letter by its content. I now ask you to do the same. Specifically, what part of the letter do you disagree with? The second sentence? The second paragraph? One or more of the five enumerated points? What in that letter are you calling “fucking” content?
Or are you just against the entire letter, and are for killing ’em all and letting God sort ’em out? I mean, it’s not like you’ve ever assiduously defended the innocent in these threads.
@33 “Why no requests that Hamas’ behavior be guided by international law, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit? You wanted to know what might be considered unreasonable or supportive of terrorism? How about the absence of a call for Hamas not to harm innocent civilians?”
Actually, the letter does address that — fully — in the second and third sentences of the first paragraph.
Now I have a question: How does someone with your reading comprehension deficiencies get through medical school and pass a licensing examination?
@34 That sure sounds like an admission that your “solution” to dealing with innocent Gazan refugees is “kill ’em all and let God sort ’em out,” which if you haven’t noticed is an awful lot like the “Final Solution” that led to Israel’s creation in the first place.
Doctor Dumbfuck is working overtime to justify genocide, which really reflects a lack of imagination on his part.
I’m a realist. Israel is going to wage all-out war against Hamas, that’s a given, and I’m not saying they shouldn’t. I don’t think anyone would argue the Allies should’ve stopped short of inflicting a total defeat on the Nazis, and that’s what I expect Israel to do. I’m pulling for Israel to win their war against Hamas; no civilized person would side with Hamas in this fight. There will unfortunately be civilian casualties, lots of them, but that’s what happens in wars. Israel is, in fact, making some efforts to minimize them. It’s what happens after the war by which Israel should primarily be judged. This war is a golden opportunity to implement a two-state solution on their terms. If they do what the Allies did in postwar Germany and Japan, the Palestinians in Gaza could have an economically prosperous, self-governing democratic society freed from the grip of the militant groups that have ruled over them for the last several decades. A failure by Israel to do this, especially in light of what are likely to be very high costs of this war in human and material terms, would be a political and humanitarian tragedy of major proportions.
This is how I see things. Compare and contrast with “kill ’em all and let God sort ’em out.” Then decide who’s the “asshole.”
The Rafa crossing is NOT CLOSED!
We’re just not letting any Palestinians use it.
@ 39
A cowardly admission that the claim that the crossing had been bombed and destroyed @ 26 was false.
Cowardly is what liberals do, when called on their falsity.
Drunken gay student pleads guilty to transmitting an interstate threat against a POS congressman. The government is recommending three years of probation. Justice is proportional, and in prosecutors’ view this doesn’t rise to “kill him with his own gun.”

@40 It also appears the story about babies with their heads cut off also was false. Not necessarily intentionally so, and “cowardly” is not a synonym for “inaccurate.” Fog of war, with propaganda from both sides mixed in. All of this should make us appreciate just how difficult accurate reporting is when access is severely restricted and verifying is often impossible. I’m sure the reporters on the ground are doing the best they can. In a lot of instances, they have to rely on government sources, who themselves may not have an accurate picture of what’s going on. But I don’t expect you to have the slightest clue about how reporting news works.
@ 38
… working overtime to justify genocide…
If genocide was what Israel had in mind it would just drop a few nuclear bombs and be done with it. No more Hamas.
Israel is beginning a process of going door-to-door.
This won’t be a genocide.
Hamas will be the ones shooting back.
If 20,000 Palestinian “civilians” die to take out 8,000 Hamas, I’m OK with it.
@40
Time of Israel, yesterday
Again, the crossing is closed. It was closed as a result of a bomb attack by IAF. Is it operational? We don’t know for sure. But we do know that the IAF forces that control the exit are keeping any one from Gaza from using it.
Back to the start.
“Evacuate or you will be killed, but we are going to block your effort to get to safety and if you happen to be near a place we bomb the shit out of for OUR protection, well war is hell and sucks to be you.”
Gov. DeSantis is sending chartered planes to Israel to bring back Floridians.

Gym Jordan has won the Round 2 nomination for speaker. He will need the support of moderate Republicans to win the gavel. If they vote for him, they are not moderates.
If they do vote for him, their argument will go something like, “Impeaching Biden based on a pack of lies, handing Ukraine to Putin, and shutting down the government is better than impasse. And turning a blind eye to child molestation is, well, in the past.”
I’m curious how that would play with centrist suburban voters.
@43
Conservative Values of protecting your home:

There are no planes sent by Florida. Typical conservative. Whine, obstruct, point fingers at the other party, vote no, take credit for what democrats are actually doing after it gets done.
@43 After thinking about it for 1 hour and 15 minutes, Doctor Dumbfuck finally came up with something specific in the letter to take issue with. That something is this:
Now, he won’t come right out and tell you he’s for hate crimes against Jews and Muslims, although that’s clearly to be implied from his contesting that paragraph.
Rather, he says “If 20,000 Palestinian “civilians” die to take out 8,000 Hamas, I’m OK with it.” So am I, as I indicated in my post @38; but that doesn’t mean we think alike. Doctor Dumbfuck will celebrate it, whereas I consider it an unavoidable evil of war. And he says nothing about using this war to establish a just peace. Since, according to him, silence is shouting, he’s against that.
@48 I think the larger point here is that DeSantis is criticizing Biden for not publicly detailing the administration’s plans to rescue the Americans held hostage by Hamas, down to the identities of the Navy SEALs aboard the aircraft carrier steaming toward Gaza. A competent president will try to look as passive and helpless as possible until the hostages are safely in our hands. A shrieking nutcase will broadcast to the enemy what we’re going to do.
Doctor Dumbfuck is getting his ass kicked here today. I hope he keeps coming back for more. But right now I have to leave for a few minutes. I’ll return later.
Someone’s hoping no one will bring up TSLA
Tesla’s long range shortsightedness may be catching up to it. They are still the dominant player in the EV space but so many better vehicles from legacy automakers have come or are coming online. The increased consumer choice is not going will for Tesla. Tesla’s market share was 62% last year. Currently 50% and will likely dip below that by year’s end.
We’re a long long way from $400/share

(If you go digging for any of the three actors who have played the ROLE in film or TV you won’t find any of them voicing support. The most famous one did give an interview where he said he didn’t like him. The least famous screen Lector from way before that said, “(Donald Trump) wouldn’t know the truth if it shit on him”) and the TV Hannibal, well few careabout that show is Danish, can’t vote here and once commented that he doesn’t know having never met Trump what he’s like.)
