I disagree with her take on Ilhan Omar, but she isn’t wrong for pointing out the hypocrisy here.

I simply took it as a slap at lobbying in general, via use of some street vernacular. It is ridiculous to say that “Benjamins” is in any way a racial slur against Jews. If Pelosi disagrees with her opinion of the events that she was commenting on, that’s one thing. But calling her out for supposed racial slurs for

You are mistaken if you think they don’t have a hold on the GOP already. Who do you think all the neocon wars in the middle east were for? They clearly were not in the interest of America.

It’s an absolute joke that she got this backlash, and I say that as someone with Jewish heritage who’s been called an anti-Semite for not backing Israel 100%. A Muslim woman is going to get the same reception, except 10,000 times worse.

If anything can break the hold AIPAC has on the Democratic party, it’s going to be Bibi explicitly aligning himself with the GOP. Shit like this makes me think it’s never going to happen, though.

The POTUS Tweeted out, mocking the Trail of Tears abuse and slaughter of Native Americans - and the fucking Left steps on its own dick by overrunning the news cycle with this self-devouring bullshit. Nobody in the GOP is calling Orange Shithead and Orange Shithead Junior for mocking the REAL deaths of thousands of

The purity olympics in America need too fucking stop. I am a left leaning, liberal woman of color. This shit needs to stop. This is why people end up becoming the Trump supporters we see in ever-growing millions these days. Nothing is enough. They all apologized. Fred Armisen was playing Barack Obama, not making fun

How can you completely dismiss intent when white comedians use blackface? What is the intent of the joke? Is it to belittle the race or is it just to be in costume, just like in Nick Cannon’s usage or in White Chicks?

She didn’t say “Jews control America through money”, dipshit. She was talking about AIPAC. AIPAC controls America through money. To conflate Jews and AIPAC is (drumroll, please) really fucking antisemitic.

The reason why Rep. Omar is being denounced by everyone is because she’s Muslim, not because she said something antisemitic. There has been a dull roar of valid criticisms against AIPAC & the Israeli government, more generally, here in the states, but a prominent Muslim cannot be the one to voice them or promote them.

Being funded by Russia or China is bad. Being funded by Israel is good. What were the chances a Muslim wouldn’t know that?  Did she skip her Congressional Indoctrination Trip to the Holy Land?

She didn’t say a single thing that was anti-Semitic. Fuck Nancy Pelosi. Fuck Chelsea Clinton. Fuck all the Democrats that let AIPAC bribe them.  So sick of all these corrupt politicians that don’t work for the American people. Establishment Dems are just as corrupt and easy to bribe as Republicans.

So tired of everyone ignoring that Brandi Carlile a) killed it, and b) is openly gay. Her song was better than most of the nominees, too (though I would have given Cardi Record of the Year, because hers was a quality bop with mass appeal).

Wow, sounds like a station wagon, except it gets another 10mpg and doesn’t drive like a lifted barn. Trucks aren’t bad, but at some point they have evolved beyond their purpose and became a go-to choice for people who would have bought a sedan a decade earlier. 

Because people don’t care about driving and are bad with money. Why buy a $30,000 vehicle that drives better, has about the same amount of interior space and options, and gets better fuel economy when they can spend $50,000 on a truck?

Those old white guys made some good music like actual songs with instruments and shit.

I think that her truancy prosecutions are HUGELY problematic

Jdpower is meaningless. Consumer Reports for actual long term reliability.

Except it’s not a universal tool. It’s a tool with targeted uses. It’s not great for a family car, they don’t have the towing/capacity of work trucks, and they are crap for say - going to the grocery store.

So what do you want to happen? I honestly want to know.
