I wonder if that gun will be smokin' enough to sway Base 45?
Meanwhile, in a show of uncharacteristic brevity (but no less comprehensiveness) Rachel Maddow gives the Cliff's Notes version of the 300 page Intel Committee report.

A literal smoking gun wouldn't convince any of them and they're proud of it.

It starts off as a snipe against the Jews, and immediately veered into "NO! I LOVE ISRAEL! IT IS THE TOWELHEADS WHO ARE COMING TO KILL US ALL!" If it kept going on, I'm pretty sure they would've started calling each other normie cuck marxist RINOs or what the fuck ever.
Yes. Ziocons have always been that stupid. I spent part of my childhood growing up in the deep south surrounded by those people and then a good chunk of my adult career in regions where they're all over the place. One time in Colorado I was flipping through the FM channels and heard some preacher ranting about how "God will bless those who bless Israel" and positing that the reason the USA is having problems is because we don't bless Israel enough....as if it's even possible to do more than we do now.

And I think Trump's loyalty to Judaism, Israel, and the rest only extends as far as his loyalty to everyone else, which mostly hinges upon how good they make him look in a photo op.
Personally, probably. Politically he's dependent on them and without their backing the intelligence community (or "deep state" as Republicans call them) would have already thrown him out on his ass.
Reason for posting:
I've got a boomer parent in town who was playing a Tucker Carlson segment.
I was pleasantly surprised:
Tucker Carlson's whole segment attacks Republican congressmen for being on the take from a well known PE guyThat segment is probably going to piss people off and it should, because what happened is an outrage. An entire town devastated to make a PE baron a few more bucks.

I didn't know anyone on Fox could be this sensible and call out the current state of "capitalism" for the exploitive system it is. I agree that de-financialization is badly needed but I don't see anyone pushing for it except Curt Doolittle who has some significant issues of his own. Most of the right is busy shrieking about the stock market and most of the left is shrieking about "White people are terrible!".

I've been wanting to call someone a spoony hooker for awhile now. I'm still waiting for that perfect moment.
how much do I need to charge you to be considered a hooker?

All he's done at this point is give working class boomers the illusion that they actually have representation of their interests.
Well he HAS so far kept us out of that Middle Eastern war the defense complex wants so badly, but domestically it's been just a slow continuation of the decline.

Prices were reasonable back then. You could buy, like, half a county for $2000 and a sturdy mule.
