that's not "colonizing" anything. i agree that israeli actions in expanding its settlements is unhelpful and likely illegal. israel is not without blame for its actions. now, shall we discuss hamas and hezbollah's actions? iran's actions and rhetoric?

I agree. These people were screaming genocide before Israel even responded. It was a coordinated op.

Dignity. Always, dignity.

I agree is not genocide, there is a reasonable case to made it has crossed the line into war crimes though - a situation Trump seems intent on having America follow them into in Iran.

Not even talking about Gaza - they are and have been regularly dispossessing people and property on the West Bank without recourse.

Israel responding to being attacked is not a genocide. It’s been 2.5 years now and Gaza still exists. Israel isn’t that good at doing a genocide. This is a right wing op. Why did the protests largely stop when Trump took over? Trump has been worse for Gaza but they still follow Harris around protesting her instead.

israel is not a "colonizer" state. the situation in gaza is infinitely complicated by all the actors directly involved and those tangentially involved. israel lives next door to multiple states who base their entire existence upon israel's destruction. its in their founding documents, for god's sake. THAT is the underlying issue. the inability of "the palestinians" (really, the leadership of certain ethnic groups in the levant and iran's proxies) to move on and stop treating their people as human martyrs to the cause of killing jews. that doesnt excuse israel for certain actions and things theyve done during the war, but it does set a certain tone for how it is forced to deal with its neighbors. the naiivety of many on the american left when it comes to hamas and iran reminds me of their naiivety surrounding their embrace of communism in the 50s and 60s. anything that is anti-western is good. again, people being horrified by israeli tactics is understandable and not "anti-semitic".

Well, people have very short memories. Trump mishandled Covid and destroyed the worldwide economy. And then he blamed Joe Biden and people re-elected the convicted felon pedophile. And now look at what he's done...so yeah, 1 million dead American from covid all have loved ones who have a very good reason for hating the racist pig. He shouldn't be in the White House getting rich from the presidency, he should be in prison.

If they go out, we will probably find out something is wrong with Duren - but that's still no excuse for leaving him out there if he is compromised when Reid seems better able to hold his own.

Cleveland us 6-0 at home in the playoffs. And 0-5 on the road. Detroit needs to win game 5.

My grandfather, who came to this country in flight from genocide, would always get impatient at his fellow emigres when they would talk old homeland grievances, he would say "You are an American now. You came here to leave all that behind!" When the old world grievances of emigres become issues in US politics it never helps America, whether it's Cuba, Israel, Palestine, Iraq, whatever.

There are no good guys and I refuse to say "yeah but....." when criticizing one or the other. I have many friends, people I could text right now and get a response, who have had families either killed or houses destroyed in Lebanon by Israel.

He’s been doing this for years. It’s him. He’s just becoming even more unhinged.

I suppose anything is possible in that asylum, but he is so mercurial and fit to rages at people that I have to doubt anyone would risk posting anything in his name without on the spot approval. Plus the contradictions post to post? An aide would be playing with fire doing that.

Except that that is exactly what Israel is doing today in the West Bank. The State of Israel has bought and paid for the critique they are getting. Having sympathy with anyone is dubious when there are no good guys. 🫤

The Michigan senate race is all about who took money from the dirty Jews.

The Democratic nominee in Maine is a Nazi and a lot of the most prominent Democratic senators in New England endorsed him. AIPAC has basically become the new boogeyman. It’s basically the Soros of the left. They do six degrees of AIPAC to see if a filthy Jew somewhere down the line donated to someone who donated to another person who may have donated to you. They don’t care about genocide in Ukraine, Sudan, etc but immediately throw that term around with Israel. There is definitely antisemitism on the left and it’s forcing the mainstream Dems to deal with it and some are just giving in.

As a Clevelander that has seen the Cavs quite a bit over the last several years I predicted Pistons in 5 and am pretty shocked it is 2-2. I think Pistons win next 2.

I don't know if he's even there. It wouldn't be hard for someone to type that stuff on their own. Even then, he has to own it. .

can you pre program VTT for all caps or does he just have to shout at it?

If a democrat running for office in Michigan spoke out against anti-semitism their poll numbers in the primary would go down. It's the left politicians that have to tap dance. The right wing, not so much. They can be pro israel all they want.

i dont think "the left" is anti-semitic. i think the left is anti-american and anti-western. the left has bought into the idea perpetuated in universities that israel is a "colonizer" and that therefore it is bad. and trump supporting israel has inflamed the left because they hate everything trump touches (with good reason). but i DO think that the rhetoric matters. what the fringe right and the fringe left say filters into the mainstream (israel as a colonizer state is a good example of a fringe idea that has become mainstream left wing doctrine), and the left does have a number of prominent political figures who are moving ever so gently down the anti-semitic path. ilhan omar is anti-semitic. rossana rodriguez is anti-semitic. to your point, those are fringe figures, but the fringe sometimes becomes the mainstream. "i dont hate jews, i hate anti-zionists" is the equivalent of "i dont hate black people, i hate n-words." and i say all of this 10x about the right. they dont try to hide it like the fringe left.

I'm thinking most of the posting is voice to text.

Yeah - It would be hard to believe he is not in the room real time with whoever is actually typing the keystrokes/constructing the GIFS - I think we can assume it is all originating in what is left of his brain.

It doesn't break on a particularly consistent pattern. Just as an example, it's GOP candidates for Michigan Regent seats that have been the most outspoken in opposition to the shout out to the Palestinian activists in the UM commencement speech while it is a board with a majority of pretty mainstream Democrats that has been roundly criticized for allowing the mood on campus to become toxic/dangerous to Jewish students in the first place.
