“They Are Not All Going to Be Able to Raise Enough” [Click] “The money primary already seems to have one provisional casualty: Elizabeth Warren. She appears to have made a rookie mistake by hiring a relatively large campaign staff, followed by a sluggish fund-raising start.”
The way Israeli and American politics get entangled is unfortunate, but that's the way things are. There are far too many people in the US who think that anything Netanyahu does must be OK. I wonder what we would hear from them if he got voted out of office or sent to prison.
Some years ago, I read a book written by Benjamin Netanyahu. I have not trusted him at all ever since. He has a lot of hate for Palestinians, and he has cruel ideas of how to deal with his enemies.
It would be nice if we could somehow unyoke American and Israeli politics. Or, rather, if we could abolish the idea that whatever Israel does, however murderous, genocidal and contrary to the Geneva Conventions, is AOK. It would also be helpful if every person who points out that many of Israel's policies are immoral was not immediately and loudly denounced as antisemitic. It is also true that policies that may be good for Israel may not be good for the U.S.
Tolkien thought so. He demonstrates convincingly that it is the coherent product of a single vision, rather than a clumsy christianization of a pagan tale. I hope you enjoy the volume as much as I did, Alan.
Ray Vanover There is currently no Secretary of Homeland Security, no Secretary of Defense, no Secretary of the Air Force, no U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, no Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director, no Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator, no Secretary of the Interior, no Administrator of the Small Business Administration, no Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Director, no Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Administrator, and no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner. Now he’s getting rid of the head of the Secret Service. This isn’t normal.
I think Cheetolini is stuck on "You're Fired" from his time on the Apprentice. If you won't crawl on your belly like a reptile and salute him and say "Yes Sir" to everything he suggests, you're out. On top of that Stephen Miller, the fascist hate-monger, is pretty much in charge now because trump is too freaking LAZY to do his job.
