Nice.

Turdball said a buncha bullshit today about everything being rigged blah blah I'm not gonna read it the headline was enough - here's the thing: motherfucker's still under a gag order! Trial isn't over and the judge hasn't lifted it. STFU!

[!@#$%!]

just quickly to add to the previous, here is a coherent conservative take on why evangelicals support israel

ssssssso, the original source of the national review article i linked earlier turned out to be pretty eloquent and interesting. worth a read:

again i do not share anybody's religion or religious views there, but it's a potent explainer for those who may not know (like me)

well, since the gaza subject has been at last unleashed, there was an editorial in the financial times today in which ariel emanuel (superpower talent agent, and brother of obama's chief of staff rahm) calls netanyahu a narcissist who does not want peace and whose only interest is to stay in power and out of jail

not sure if civilians can read directly that but it's probably been republished elsewhere... lml...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...el/ar-BB1nKu9h

it' not complete though, here's my copypasta of the end:

Netanyahu is a narcissist. He has failed spectacularly in keeping Israelis safe. Before October 7, he said his goal was to empower Hamas in Gaza in order to undermine the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and with it the chances of a two-state solution. So he allowed hundreds of millions of dollars from Qatar to be funnelled to Hamas.

Netanyahu has failed as a wartime leader. It’s no surprise that Hamas is popping back up in areas of Gaza already cleared once, because Netanyahu has no plan and has refused to learn the lessons of previous conflicts, including America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The generals are practically screaming that he is dangerously incompetent.

Netanyahu has no plan for how to end the war or secure the peace because that’s not his goal. He has only one plan: endless war so he can stay in office and out of jail. On that he is, so far, a success.

US Senator Chuck Schumer is right that “Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah”. But that’s what’s happening. When I was growing up, any time there was a Jew in the news who had done something bad, my father would say, “He’s ruining the Jewish people’s reputation in the world!” That’s Netanyahu. He is doing lasting damage both to Israel and to Jews everywhere.

There is no contradiction in saying that Israel should do whatever it takes to free the hostages and destroy Hamas, while also seeking to minimise civilian casualties in Gaza, stop settler violence, and pursue a two-state solution. We can both mourn the deaths of innocent Palestinians and call out antisemitism wherever it lurks. These are all just causes and they are all connected. But none of it will happen with a failed, incompetent, selfish leader at the helm. Netanyahu must go.

and on a lighter note, here are the tv versions of ariel and rahm emanuel

 

 

not true to life, just "inspired by" more like

anyway yeah. ok

...and also the "inspiration" for Jeremy Piven's character in Entourage, just like his brother was (more vaguely, though) for Bradley Whitford's in The West Wing.

I realize this adds nothing to the conversation about Gaza, but I had to mention it.

Oh shit, you beat me to the punch.
