Why does such a wealthy country still need subsidies and why does reasonable debate about it by Dem pols trigger massively funded primary campaigns against them? Why is it weird? Yes, there is horseshoe theory, where the fringe right and left come around together on some issues. In this case, it is much more of the left than the right. We get benefits of technology sharing from Israel, their support and bases when needed, and a democracy in the region. It isn’t reasonable debate about funding that triggers massive campaigns, but the radical anti-Israeli positions that do, and there is nothing mysterious about it, the PAC is no secret nor is it a secret than many Americans do in fact support supporting Israel and Nate to that end. No conspiracy. Quote

Fair enough, but I created this thread to talk about the DSA lunatics. There's enough Israel stuff everywhere else. Just like the TDS nonsense, it seems to permeate everything and ruins the point of the thread. Quote As Democrat and Liberal governments fall, Republicans and Conservatives come to the rescue.

It’s the conspiratorial garbage you have to go to Candice Owen’s or Tucker Carlson to hear. Complete side note but what the hell happened with Candice Owens anyway? I don't pay a ton of attention to the right-wing talk show circuit in the states, I used to listen to ben a fair bit but things are busy enough up here that is hard to catch his shows regularly. But last I saw Candice Owens was a treasured right of center personality that was on the Ben Shapiro show lots and made all of the rounds with the usual right-wing podcasters etc, and now as I understand it she's like public enemy number one to the right I know it's off topic But I'm kind of curious as to what happened there Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

I never listen to her much, she always had a bit of a religious tone and it's just isn't my cup of tea but it's surprising she went off the rails that bad. I guess it goes to show with a little success and power can do to the wrong person Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

I don't think anybody believes him when he says the street is open anymore, it's been open and closed and open and closed a dozen times. Now they're saying there's a deal in place and it'll be open again but honestly if I owned an expensive ship I would not be sending it down the street or news right now Next week's deal will be that they agree to only attack each other and ships on the straight during days with an r in it or some such damn thing "it's friady! Launch!" But if he does clear it up then there's a good chance that has the economy bounces back if it recovers sufficiently people will forget this incident I hope so. If its closed any longer, the Republicans are in trouble. Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

I've heard Joe Biden called all kinds of things, most of which are true, like "idlot", "sleepy", "Dementia Joe" etc, but "Genocide Joe"? That's a new one. Biden needs to sit down and relax in a rest home. I don't know why in the hell this guy is still shuffling around and getting lost on stage. Quote
