    Hope you continue to spew racist and anti-Semitic comments loud and clear . You can say all you want as loud as you want . But not on the Foreign Affairs Committee .

    Do you have the same take on Repubs who made anti-semitic comments? Like Marjorie Taylor Greene, for one?

    No doubt true. She won't make much sense, but it will happen at the top of her voice.

    Always good to have humble people in Congress.

    MT Greens has made anti-semitic comments?
    She can't be removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee since she is not on it, but by all means she should not be on it if she is guilty of such comments.

    She compared Clueless Joe to Hitler . Wonder how many Dems who called GW Bush and Trump Hitler were called antisemites ?Wonder how many Dems condemned their own for associations with Louis Farrakhan

    McCarthy and Yertle both condemned MTG for comparing the vax mandates to the holocaust . That is hardly the same as Omar equating Israel to terrorist Hamas and the Taliban .

    Pelosi called out Omar for her anti-semitic remarks which she apologized for. Her reasons, although badly expressed, have a basis in a legitimate criticism of Israel and its treatment of Palestinians as Israel has an argument against Palestinians.

    MTG's argument was mentally bonkers with no basis in reality - Jewish lasers from space.

    except she never said that The closest she came was a claim that PSEG has on the board of directors someone who is also a Vice Chair at Rothchilds


    From that it became "Jewish Space Lasers "

    Justin Gray on Twitter: "Here Marjorie Taylor Greene says the deadly California wildfires may have been caused by lasers from space - tied to the Pacific Gas & Electric Company https://t.co/4qMmYZRYrr" / Twitter

    I agree with Jl .She probably should not be in the Foreign Affairs Committee.

    ***Although Greene has never publicly used the exact phrase "Jewish space lasers," the controversy originated with a since-deleted 2018 Facebook post from the Georgia Republican that did reference Jewish people and lasers from space.

    The post touted an antisemitic conspiracy theory that suggested the Rothschilds, a wealthy Jewish banking family who often feature in antisemitic conspiracies, were profiting off of California wildfires supposedly caused by "lasers or blue beams of light" from space.***

    I posted the FB comment in it's entirety . There is nothing about " Jewish people " Other people make that inference based on the mention of Rothchild

    Not "she never said that", but partially correct. MTG said the Californial wildfires could have been started by lasers from space and associated the Rothschild Family with her statement. The Rothchilds are a historic target for anti-semites going back centuries.

    You are correct.

    It's just as bad with MTG - worse, even. Two years ago she was banished form any committees effectively removing her from any serious legislative work. Then, in return for her support of McCarthy as Speaker, she was rewarded with positions of two powerful House committees - Homeland Security and Oversight Committee.

    As a promoter of Qanon, she is not the ideal candidate to be overseeing national security.

    AOC is a promoter of BLM, about as loonie an organization as Qanon.

    MTG is not an ideal Congressperson, but that is true of several people on both sides of the aisle.

    "Ilhan Omar Withdraws Support For East Palestine After Learning It’s In America."

    Quote:

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Representative Ilhan Omar has canceled a planned rally to support the victims of the East Palestine chemical spill after learning East Palestine is actually in America."Oh... East Palestine is just a small town in Ohio? Is that where all the white people live?" said a disappointed Omar to her brother while they were out on a Valentine's Day date. "Who cares about Ohio? Some trains did something. Who cares?"

    I must make an exception when such absolute unmitigated BULLS**T is posted here. I encourage everyone who sees this to read the link.

    The other post is almost as bad.

    Anyone who can't tell the difference between BLM and the completely wacky Qanon is an out-and-out racist. There's no getting around it.

    Not all know it as satire. In fact, it has been linked here previously as the truth without a warning. To do that is questionable at best; at worst, it is inexcusable.

    The racist BLM comment is NOT satire.

    Is our pres a racist? In comments made Wednesday he said this. "You got a hell of a new governor in Wes Moore, I tell ya. He’s the real deal, and the boy looked like he could still play. He got some guns on him." Where is BLM when they're really needed?

    “unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.” August 2020

    “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.” (speaking of the emperor 2007)

    Biden, who admits he has a tendency to bloviate, has made indelicate remarks before. Last year, speaking about Indian-Americans, he said, "You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. It's a point. I'm not joking!"
