This 296 page report is unfounded. No, we will not elaborate. Thank you

Jesus fucking christ I KNOW.

I agree with you and you're arguing with your imagined version of me based on a joke. This is completely pointless.

The fact is, either Trump or Harris was going to win. Making a comparison is fine. I didn't say the dems should only aspire to be better than Trump, I didn't say turnout was not a crucial factor, I didn't say any of this and if you look through my comments from before the election you'll see me saying basically exactly what you are many times.

I hope that we never talk again

I don't think he should be a barometer. The election was effectively just between him and Harris, so the comparison is obviously relevant.

Honestly it wasn't that deep. Just an off the cuff joke about MTG saying they stole the house. You're right overall. I don't think it was a coherence issue but maybe

I have been making the same argument you are for months. Absolutely no idea what you think you're arguing with but it isn't me. I agree with you.

Because we're talking about the election? What a weird question

I think your plan is smarter than whatever he could come up with. Although apparently he has complained about the dollar being "overvalued" so maybe you're right!

Maybe he does! But has he ever acknowledged the fact that consumers pay the cost publicly? He always acts like he's making other countries pay.

Of course he could just be lying for manipulative purposes, it would be very on brand. But what makes you think so in this case specifically?

Compared to Trump they certainly did. I would be the first to tell you they fucked up, but I mean, Trump still doesn't seem to understand tariffs.

They stole the house race by having coherent policy and a functional adult leading them but yet still ultimately losing. Thanks MTG, very cool

I mean people who are politically supportive of the state of Israel

Please read the entire sentence

Israel does what it can to minimize civilian deaths.

How? Whatever it does is clearly not good enough, is it? Or do you think the civilian casualty numbers are acceptable?

Israel killing children is not done on purpose as you all think. They have the most precise air strikes

There is no such thing as a precise strike with a 2,000 lb bomb.

I don't think Israel is purposefully killing children. I just think they don't care who they kill. Please read this:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai-database-hamas-airstrikes

In particular:

When it came to targeting low-ranking Hamas and PIJ suspects, they said, the preference was to attack when they were believed to be at home. “We were not interested in killing [Hamas] operatives only when they were in a military building or engaged in a military activity,” one said. “It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”

It's a post, and it's shit. Seems like the perfect place

Is there a Zionist argument bingo card we can play? You're hitting a lot of the classics here.

Israel is fighting terrorism, you people don't see that.

Yeah we do, we just also see the thousands of dead kids you don't seem to think exist.

If you want to live under the brotherhood and Muslim extremism, keep looking the other way.

I don't want that. Obviously. People who disagree with you are not as one dimensional as you might like to think

Start watching any news. I would love to see any count that has the number of kids dead not in the thousands.

We need a Bibi version of this

I stand with Israel 100%.

I can see that.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree about the law. Luckily for me the court seems to agree with my assessment

This is also fucking disgusting as antisemitism is a real thing. Trying to conflate it with Israel critique makes people take antisemitism less seriously which is also dangerous.

This right here. People saying this don't care about antisemitism, they just want to feel good while they defend their favourite apartheid state
