Ongoing Dem Debacle Thread: Commander will kill us all

[myDeaconmyhand]

See: posters like bkf, jhmd, brad, etc. All Republicans, all hated by Dems on here.

I think all those posters have more in common than just being Republicans.

Regarding the M&M boys, as we're called now - it seems to me that the posters who are most disliked in the tunnels are the ones who express the most anger or displeasure about the moderate political consensus here. For the most part everyone posting here gets along really well, but I think that congeniality just comes from you all agreeing on most everything so you never have any motivation to make waves and piss each other off. This political board is more homogenous than campus is.

On top of all that group think, theres a very strong peer pressure element here to avoid standing out by posting dissenting or contentious opinions.

LOL. You and the other M act like dicks sometimes. Chill out.

As I said. Half the posters on the tunnels act like dicks - you yourself are often quite dickish. You think I dont consider the contrary reactions I get here for political statements and opinions that I also make with leftists or non-Wake grads?

Democrats Planning Another Public Rebuke Of Rep. Ilhan Omar

The offending quote

"I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK to push for allegiance to a foreign country," Omar said at the event. The statement has sparked a furious response from senior Democrats and Jewish groups.

I don't think its implicit in here that Jewish people are the sole-or even the main-perpetrators of that political influence.

Anyway, she doesn't seem to be apologizing for this one.

EDIT: Link should work now.

Democrats are trash. What a shameful action.

God this is getting fucking ridiculous.

Corrected, I think.

To use a "same team" comparison, was there a censure or much backlash when Biden used the word "shylock" in 2014? I don't remember that much. Seems like there might be something else at play here.

Here’s the ADL letter expressing concern about the comments.

Makes more sense to me after reading than before.

It is disturbing that Rep. Omar continues to perpetuate hurtful anti-Semitic stereotypes that misrepresent our Jewish community. Additionally, questioning support for the U.S.-Israel relationship is unacceptable.

This is absurd. Even forgetting that what Rep Omar said wasn't anti-Semitic, this line of thinking essentially prevents any opposing views on Israeli government actions.

is this a surprise when our lawmakers are honestly considering making boycotting israel illegal?

She has used Israel multiple times. It's basically every time she brings this up, and she did before she was in Congress. Fool me once...but not fool me five or ten times.

It's insane, and what the dems are doing in condemning her is shameful and racist.

 

[Biff Tannen]

They say what republicans were doing with anti tax and anti abortion pledges and wanted to find a way to get in on the action.

 

[Shooshmoo]

Sorry, everyone, not allowed to criticize or I will be forced to censure you. Unless you are an OWG and just put dollar signs in Jewish people's names because you hope someone will bomb them.
