We've been boiled frogs for so long this never gets mentioned. But this violates DOJ policies that have been in place for decades, ones that Defense Attorney Todd Blanche said should have extended for the entirety of the time his client had declared his candidacy. (Tho I think this was DHS.)

A death by firing squad may well encourage people who are radicalized, not deter them. Such a highly publicized death implies a movement is powerful and worthy of attention. It’s the same mistake the US made after 9/11. This is not speculative. Does death in a fireball deter suicide bombers?

You've seen this framing a lot lately. I know what they're doing, but it's for a short-term gain at long-term expense. If we start normalizing this and similar phrasing to blend church and state, it's not going to end well for anyone these politicians say they're trying to protect.

NYMag's rundown of Neera Tanden's war against the left, which omits her amplification of Nazis, her org's hidden funders, and her recruitment of Biden-admin war criminals, cites this as its major example of CAP's lefty bona fides:

CAP's policy positions bear that out. Among its
proposals for addressing the affordability crisis is _a
voluntary program in which grocers who restrain
price increases on staple foods would get
temporary relief from credit-card swipe fees_—
hardly the sort of policy usually associated with
the party's corporate-friendly center.

I think it's possible for a Jewish person to be antisemitic, but there's no evidence that Sanders is. On the other hands, "Sanders is antisemitic" is routinely used by the political right as a synecdoche for "lefty Jews are disloyal and illegitimate," which is a major antisemitic throughline.

Instead other Dems strengthened them, excused broken campaign promises, and many took dark money from groups like Chorus to lie for them. That crucial time was wasted.

fun coincidence: they name a lot of anti-trans bills "the millstone act" because they believe that's how their god wants them to kill us: tying a millstone around our necks to drown us :) they're not subtle about it at all. here's a statement from a state rep about his from 2023

The Millstone Act was named in reference to Matthew 18:6, “but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

Bullard noted that he chose the age of 26 to account for scientific findings that the brain does not fully develop and mature until the mid- to late 20s with the prefrontal cortex, the part responsible for critical skills like planning and controlling urges, developing last.

Why do Muslims love being victims?
You know I'm right. You are a Democrat, Neera, but you're also an Indian. You say so in your own X bio. Deep down, you know as an Indian woman what savages these Muslims are. We know what the Muslims have done to Indians and we know what they have done to

the Israelis and Americans. Civilized people should be united in calling out Islamic brutality.
It's time for Democrats to call the Islamic communists out. The Democrats and Republicans should be united in calling out Islamic terrorism.
This shouldn't be a partisan issue. But for some reason, it is, because the Democrats have allowed jihadists to hold their party hostage like an Israeli music festival.
