Aneristic Illusions / Re: President Biden Drops Out ...
Last post by Faust - Yesterday at 11:14:55 PMOk that's interesting, outside of the US its portrayed as a very united front in support, with people crying out for the US to put pressure on Israel to kerb its homicidal instincts.

We have 100 senators, and 435 congresspeople in the USA. I forgot there were lists available of the people who boycotted Netanyahu's recent address to Congress. Now, not all of them are known to me. There are, however, quite a few Democrats on these lists who are heavy hitters. Here's what I found:

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan, held up a 'war criminal' sign during Netanyahu's recent address to the joint session of Congress.
Congressman Jerry Nadler is a Democrat from New York, New York.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: President Biden Drops Out ...
Last post by Brother Mythos - Yesterday at 07:28:15 PMQuote from: Faust on Yesterday at 06:50:34 PMHave any sitting US politicians spoken out about Israels systematic murder of innocents in the west bank? I haven't seem any.
Yes, several have done so. The most notable is Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont.
Here's an article from your own The Guardian describing his position:
"Bernie Sanders condemns speech to Congress by 'war criminal' Netanyahu"
As per this article:
"The Vermont senator Bernie Sanders has condemned Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming address to the US Congress, calling him a "war criminal" presiding over a "rightwing extremist government".
Sanders delivered his remarks on the Senate floor on Tuesday as Congress expects Netanyahu to give a speech to Congress on Wednesday afternoon. The speech comes after an underwhelming arrival to the US, just after President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from November's elections.
"Tomorrow will be unique in bringing Prime Minister Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress," said Sanders on Tuesday. "It will be the first time in American history that a war criminal has been given that honor."
Sanders said of Netanyahu: "He should not be welcome in the United States Congress."
Several Democratic lawmakers were planning to boycott the speech on Wednesday."
And, further along in this article:
"Representative Jerry Nadler of New York said he would attend Wednesday's speech, but still lashed out against the Israeli prime minister, calling him the "worst leader in Jewish history".
"Tomorrow's address is the next step in a long line of manipulative bad-faith efforts by Republicans to further politicize the US-Israel relationship for partisan gain and is a cynical stunt by Netanyahu aimed at aiding his own desperate political standing at home," said Nadler."
Here's the link to this article: Bernie Sanders Calls Netanyahu a War Criminal
And, for what it's worth, Bernie Sanders and Jerry Nadler both happen to be Jewish.

Last post by Pergamos - Yesterday at 05:39:41 PMI was, and am, happy about this development. She's younger and more charismatic than Biden and has been inspiring a lot of donations and volunteers. Unfortunately she's already made a statement in support of Israel, which will lose her a lot of that support.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade
Last post by Brother Mythos - Yesterday at 06:36:35 AMThis article places a spotlight on exactly who the members of the Republicult™ really are:
"WH Spox Flames GOP Over Its 'Stop Being Racist' Meeting"
"In a closed-door meeting this week, party leaders in the House had to ask Republican lawmakers to refrain from making comments about Vice President Kamala Harris' race and gender."
As per this article:
"White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pointed out on Thursday that it speaks volumes that Republican congressional leaders had to admonish members to refrain from "being racist" and sexist towards Vice President Kamala Harris.
Asked about a Politico report about a closed-door meeting on Tuesday morning in which party leaders begged lawmakers to stop attacking Harris on the basis of identity, Jean-Pierre replied, "When you have the Speaker of the House [Mike Johnson]... set up a meeting to tell Republican leaders to stop being racist, to stop being misogynist, to stop being sexist, I think that says a lot that they have to be told to not do that.
"But more broadly," she continued, "I think it's—I think it's desperate. I think it's disgusting and I think it's a dog whistle. And we should not forget that she is the vice president of the United States. She's the vice president of the United States. She should get that respect.""

It's inexcusable that this is the USA in the 21st century.

Last post by Brother Mythos - July 25, 2024, 05:42:46 PMThe title of this article made me smile:
"MTG's boyfriend says 'estrogen loaded' all-woman ticket would be 'scary' and dangerous'"
As per this article:
"Right-wing correspondent Brian Glenn, the boyfriend of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), is worried that Democrats could put only women candidates on an "estrogen-loaded" presidential ticket that would be "dangerous" for the country.
While speaking to Real America's Voice earlier this week, Glenn speculated about who Democrats could choose to run against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance."
Here's the link to this article: All-woman Ticket Scares Republicult™ Member
I really hate to make excuses for an obvious cult member. But, given that this guy is, apparently, willingly dating Drama Queen Greene, I can kind of understand why he might feel the way he does.

Last post by Brother Mythos - July 25, 2024, 03:16:36 AMI had a good laugh over this one:
"Lara Trump Whines: How Dare Dems Label Trump As 'Convicted Felon'!"
"Dear RNC, Donald Trump has been convicted of 34 felonies."
As per this article:
"Lara Trump, the nepotism appointment to the RNC, complained to Fox News that the Kamala Harris campaign is labeling her father-in-law a convicted felon."
Here's the link to this article: Whining over Convicted Felon Labeled Convicted Felon
I wonder if Lara Trump believes there are electoral votes to be won for the Republicult™ in the great state of Denial.
