Text about how Don the Con is trapped in his own conspiracy.

I hadn't seen things that way.

Donald Trump just blew his cover as the 'real victim' in new scam on MAGA

The Catholic and Orthodox churches are now going to get more involved in the effort to send aid to Gaza

Top church leaders in Jerusalem headed into Gaza Friday in a rare solidarity visit to the territory one day after an Israeli shell slammed into its only Catholic church, killing three people.

The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, and Greek Orthodox Patriarch Theophilos III entered Gaza in the morning to express the "shared pastoral solicitude of the Churches of the Holy Land," read a statement released by the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

The patriarchs and their delegation arrived at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza in the afternoon. As well as the three people killed in the strike, 10 were wounded, including the resident priest. The church compound was damaged.

The delegation was also planning on sending hundreds of tons of food aid, medical supplies and equipment to families inside Gaza, the patriarchate said, adding they also had "ensured evacuation" of individuals injured in the attack to hospitals outside Gaza.

In other news, just like a year before the last election, Orban's eldest daughter and her husband (obviously made insanely rich by Orban) are about to move abroad with their family. This time it's not Marbella, Spain, but New York. In fact they have already signed up their kids to some elite New York school, who pride themselves on teaching multiculturalism and diversity to their pupils.

It is so frustrating sometimes, the level of contempt these far-righters keep their own supporters in. Publicly they preach the decline of the West and the rise of the East, but for some reason for education, fun, and comfort, they move west, not east.

Haven't seen a post by you where you showed any sympathy for the people killed on Oct 7th orr Josq either.  Mostly he argue about his poor understanding of the word "Semite" and his bewilderment that Hamas would do something like this.

What on earth are you talking about?
I have a better grasp on the word Semite than you do and it was pretty clear from the start that I felt those attacks were not a good thing (tm).

They are perceived as white, while this is not strictly speaking true.  It is true in the minds of the antizionists.  If it is the actions that matter, How did everyone decided that the Israelis are the ones to protest?  You'd think that it would be spread out more if was just based on actions.  Certainly the Israelis aren't the only ones who engage in actions worth protesting. 

HVC put it quite nicely.
There's a disagreement there. There's this obvious bad shit going down yet you still get people disagreeing that its particularly terrible.
And its nothing new. Its been going on at some level for decades.

Yet it is the only country in the Middle East people demand be destroyed and it's population either removed or made into a vulnerable, disarmed minority.  Hell, even those that call for America destroyed don't normally demand that the population lose it's right to self determination or that be incorporated into another state.  That is really strange.

Who wants Israel to be destroyed here?
Your bit about America makes no sense at all.

You say you don't care what color they are, but I got to wonder sometimes...

You really don't.  Yet you continue to insist any criticism of Israel can only be born out of anti-semitism.

What's even crazier is that it's not just Colbert cancelled but the entire late show, which is basically an institution.

I've come to value Colbert as one of my preferred news sources during Trumps presidencies.  Might as well laugh while soaking all the madness in.

Late show with Colbert cancelled the day after he was making fun of parent company's (Paramount) settlement with Trump 

Hopefully someone else picks it up. It is the top rated show. Somebody is bound to value making money over appeasing Trump.

This morning the same online "news site" who broke the poor dead guy's story now posted about a church burned and desecrated with "Hungarians out" messages in a Hungarian village, picked up by Orban immediately to swear Hungary will defend Hungarians there.

Very obvious russian false-flag operation. It's like the Scandinavian Koran-burnings during the NATO negotiations for Sweden. The Turks pretended to be retarded and outraged over them in order to extract other concessions.

Poker Face S3E6. What a hoot. Best of the season so far for me. Children are the worst (or at least one very psycho demon child is, at least). And it features Joseph Gerbils (the class pet gerbil).

And it has esteemed character actress Margo Martindale.

I missed the part of the conversation when Raz said he's wholly unconcerned about Palestinian collateral damage.

You are right, you did miss it.
