Quote from: Baron von Schtinkenbutt on October 16, 2025, 01:51:00 PMFrom the perspective of a typical Congresscritter, people in their 40s are kids.
8 years old will be judged as adult, 5 years old hispanics will face deportation without their parents or a lawyer present, but 40 year old Republican Congressmen are kids.

Go figure Republican logic.

Trump just commuted George Santos's sentence because he was being "horribly mistreated" in prison. :hmm:

What job in the administration do you think he'll get?

Minister of Truth would seem to be appropriate. I suppose that would be Secretary of State for Truth in the USA.

Heritage Foundation backs the growing anti-semitic conspiracist wing of the GOP.

I know, I know.  The real problem is 17 guys in Brooklyn waving a Hamas flag.  Not the $400 million foundation with profound influence inside the US government and the popular commentators with millions of followers and regular viewers.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.

They are on the same side.  Like the guy who tried to kill Josh Shapiro and the guy who shot those Israeli diplomatic staff and the guy who set some Jewish people on fire in Colorado etc.

It doesn't matter if it's Hamas, or Nick Fuentes, or Jeremy Corbin.  They are all marching in the same direction.  They have different ideologies and different reasons but they are all fellow travelers.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah, if you persist in keeping your eyes closed, you'll eventually fall asleep.

No the Heritage Foundation and Tucker Carlson want to deport the 17 Brooklyn Hamas guys or look the other way as the cops stomp on them,

I don't know exactly what the Brooklyn Hamas guys want to do to the Heritage Foundation and Tucker but it's probably something that Tucker's mom would frown upon.

They are not remotely on the same side.  Being hostile to Jews doesn't make them on the same side. Lots of people are hostile to Jews.  The Almohads in Spain were hostile to the Jews. Castile was hostile to the Jews.  That doesn't mean the Almohads and Castile were on the same side.

"There are more than two sides" is a maxim to always bear in mind.
