    Replace the word Jews with zionists. Probably a real concern.

    Israel has their hands up the asses of our politicians and Margaret is one of the few that’s willing to call it out and fight it. I don’t care how she got there, and I don’t believe how her detractors say she got there. I care about stopping at fascists from executing a final solution for their others, and that same treatment being exported back home here.

    This is why I get a chuckle from guys like Ben Shapiro. He thinks he’s “one of the good ones”, but at its core, MAGA is profoundly antisemitic (by the original definition of the term). At some point, they’ll turn on him.

      Too true. Shapiro, Crockett, Raichik, Fuentes and the rest of the pick me’s are tokens, and tokens always get spent.

          He’s got a Hispanic sounding last name and according to SCOTUS, that’s a perfectly valid reason to send people to camps. Nicky better mind his P’s and Q’s, all’s I’m sayin.

            Not in any way /meaning/ to defend them, but I think the argument is that multiple of the 4 characteristics (speaking Spanish, looking Hispanic, certain jobs, I forget the 4th) taken together is supposedly justification, but not any given one of them alone.

              Location is the 4th. Looking hispanic, speaking spanish, gathering in an area with a large population of illegal immigrants, and performing a job commonly held by illegal immigrants.

      Normally, I try to have sympathy for people who are having their face eaten by a leopard. As generally, most people are just victims of the right wing propaganda machine.

      In Ben Shapiro’s case, I will gladly eat popcorn and watch it.

    That’s not funny. Unless she’s saying that because of the rumor Ben Shapiro is going to take over TPUSA. Then it would be very, very funny.

      She’s referring to AIPAC. She seems to think Charlie was opening up to allowing other perspectives on the issue of Palestine besides unequivocally supporting Israel before he was shot. Now she’s afraid they will take control of tp usa and shut down any debate on the issue.

        This isn’t unique to her, to MTG.

        Of course MTG just actually is an anti-semite, but we also have Candace Owens (I mean, also an anti-semite broadly, but still)… she’s saying that basically, Kirk snubbed an offer of a bunch of money from Israeli funders, because he did not want to be that beholden to that kind of positioning, and the right is currently ‘having a normal one’ arguing about this.

        Kirk knew that Israel isn’t popular with younger Republicans, that Fuentes types and other right wingers had been attacking him from the right, for being way too supportive of Israel.

        I am far from up to speed on any of this, but basically, its way more than just MTG being fucking crazy on her own, this is a thing the whole …sphere of right wing personalities is … yeah currently, as in literally right now, elsewhere on the internet/broadcast media… ‘having a very normal one’ over.

        I guess you could call this something like a split between the neocons, and the racists true patriots, basically?

    I don’t even know why I even bother paying attention to politics anymore. With a single-digit number of exceptions, pretty much everyone involved in this shitshow is somewhere on a spectrum between utterly insane and completely, unequivocally useless.

    That makes sense because according to some in my “family”, the jews were catching on to Charlie Kirk and he staged his death to go into hiding since he refused to accept a $150 million bribe to talk up Israel…

    WTF is wrong with this world.

    Owens has gone on to wildly claim Kirk was feeling “blackmailed” by Israel ahead of his death despite Kirk being one of the most vocal pro-Israel voices on the right.

    Considering the shooter was/is a far right Internet troll…

    There’s a pretty good chance he just latches onto these crazy ass conspiracies and says Israel made him do it, just “for the lulz”

    What’s really big about this that no one has been really talking about tho, is how someone else shot a bunch of school kids the same day, and no one gave a fuck.

    Lots of people with nothing to lose want to be famous or at least infamous. And shooting children barely even makes the city papers anymore.

    Kill a CEO or a fascist tho…

    And you’re headline news for months/years, every late night host, podcaster, and even the president knows your name and cares deeply about your motivations.

    If someone wanted to manufacture a bunch of copycats, they couldn’t have asked for a better reaction.

      The suspect was estranged from hos MAGA family and living with his trans girlfriend. But none of that matters since wvery piece of evidence presented is so clealry fabricated it has to be a government plot.

      Ah no, that was yesterday. Today he’s a left leaning trans dating weird gamer.

      Who knows what tomorrow brings. Palestine agent perhaps.
