GOP members compromised by Russia, says GOP

Prominent GOP members say some of their colleagues have been compromised by Russia.

Obviously, MJT is in the list.

By the way here's Rex's last column, filed a day before his death.  He certainly was not going gently into the night as he just blasts Trudeau for ignoring October 7th.

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-trudeau-faced-an-essential-moral-test-after-oct-7-he-failed-it

What a dreadful, overblown commentary.  The idea that the West somehow "failed" because the victims were Jews completely ignores the world we live in.  Incidents far worse than October 7 have occurred across the world since 1990:  Rwanda, Darfur, and even, right now, in Sudan.  The West is simply selective in how strongly it reacts to such tales (the response to Srebrenica was stronger because closer to home).  Murphy also ignores the fact that Trudeau did on Oct 8 exactly what Murphy called on him to do:  condemn Hamas and its attack as "horrifying and shocking" and mentioning its "brutality."

Also, any time I read a columnist whose evidence is "I hear that..." I dismiss him as a ideologue.

The Hamas charter talks about Jews living peacefully in an Islamic Palestine, so the genocide talk is overblown.  The plight of Jews in an Islamic Palestine would not be pleasant given that Hamas thinks that the arrivals since 1948 should be expelled and their land returned to Palestinians, but that's a far cry from genocide.

As I said a page or two back and was shouted down.

Jos nails himself to the cross again. 

You were not "shouted down," you were simply challenged on your misreading of the source you provided.

So I guess this elderly Jewish Professor of Jewish Studies is a hardline antisemitist Hamas supporter or something, at least according to Otto. Totally deserved to be bumrushed by police. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/03/us/dartmouth-professor-police-protests.html

Jews mastered enlightened self-hatred long before woke left was even a thing.

You think Hamas would spare this guy?
