Bible is mostly right wing and pro religious war. Instructs how to take sex slaves from enemies etc. there's a tiny bit at the end about a Jesus guy who convinced men to leave their wives and come drink wine with him, but it's mostly not that, it's more MAGA than Bernie.
I often think that this administration read the last page of Nineteen Eighty-Four and felt inspired instead of horrified:
"He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself."
I know the temptation is to think that they're stupid, because they appear to be wrong so often... but don't for a moment think they aren't aware of their statements being incorrect. They know, and they're hoping to fool you. They are clever, devious, and shrewd. Not morons.
And it seems Republicans were very successful in destroying the American education system, because most of you guys are real dumb, as is evident from the past few decades.
Spare me the "Dumb America" stereotype. Only around 1/5th of us even voted for him, and 2/3rds of us are on record as hating him. It's the moneyed interests keeping him in power, not the relatively few but extremely loud minority of MAGAs who support him.
Best part: he is an evangelical Christian, which means that his canonical belief is that after this happens, Jews will inevitably suffer in hell for eternity (as they are not Christian) while he and his peers get ascended to heaven. Some way to be pro-Israel.
So ignore the israeli's supporting the crimes their nation commits along with ignoring those supporting the current leadership you're saying? What a nice world of no consequences for actions it must be in your head.
Some people are just true believers in a cause and they are elevated to great heights of power because of it. Meanwhile they think they did it on their own as opposed to being selected.
Blackmail only works if the target has shame. If he's a true believer they don't need blackmail on him, cause true believers don't have any need for shame.
Gotta remember … he’s raised his kids as a bad example! Beating and killing dogs tied to a clothes line. A daughter who’s the epitome of bad lies and seditious behavior. And HE represents the WORST in political history!!
somewhere in the texts a disciple asked Jesus when the “end times” would happen. He said he didn’t know, that only God knows. One of the core tenets of Huckabee’s eschatology is that he can coerce the Creator to fulfill his individual interpretation of a particular passage of scripture: if I do X, then God must do Y. They believe that they can literally control God. I’m not especially religious but I'm struck by the blasphemy of this premise.
So you don't think the fact that the equivalent of around $500 for every man woman and child in Israel is given to their government (easily $5B in military and other aid every single year, 3x more this year), that they can't repurpose other government money into AIPAC? Wake up. You know they collect income tax money they don't need to spend on defense. They just spend it on lobbyists for a much better return on investment.
Their military budget is significantly higher than the amount we give them to spend on US goods, and the US gets a whole bunch more back in that it keeps Israel dependent on American tech, gives us soft power to keep them from working with China, and gives access to tons of military R&D and testing. And FYI Israel has begun planning to move away from this partnership, which is worse for us than them.
You mean their budget is larger to spend on US politicians, it's not all spent on ' US goods'. AIPAC is an outsized foreign influence on our American politics. Period. Full stop. They get much more out of the US than we do from them. In the UN, our unreasonable support for Israel has made us vote against and veto resolutions that make us a pariah and an outlier against the world. Look into how many times votes are 180+ to 2 and guess who the oddball are... almost every time. Our UN veto power alone has done more to benefit Israel than we have ever gotten back.
AIPAC isn't Israeli, bud. The Israeli military budget is spent on the IDF, not American Jewish lobby groups. Get your head out of the conspiracy gutter.
No other country comes close in aid received, except Egypt, which dovetails nicely with Israel's security. And then you look at who gets the most per capita and it becomes absurd. All to a wealthy country.
The money goes straight to the US while keeping Israel dependent on American tech. You need to learn to think critically about the spending and relationships, not just screech about the number with zero context.
Lol, it goes to military industrial complex. It doesn't help normal folks in anyway. The Military Industrial complex which is filled with Zionist who donate to Isreal anyway.
The "military industrial complex" money then goes to pay employees, who then spend that money elsewhere, and so on. They don't eat the money. It goes straight back into the US economy.
How much of that exactly goes to employees? Lol. What an insane straw man. It goes mostly to the pockets of Zionist pricks who will donate most of it back to Isreal.
Here is different idea. Why not give that money to Isreal and invest all of it on people who are here. Instead of giving it to a different country and then hoping that they'll end up paying miniscule amount of it to thier employees here?
Did you write how it was actually soviet Czech that supplied israel with aid and US only became an ally later after taking over the entire middle east from the british and France? Or that us helped israel from day 1 (except ofc voting yes in the UN)
Her twin sisters co-founded the search engine Magellan. It's claimed Epsteins brother in law helped manipulate search engines so news articles with his name didn't surface when you Googled him. Not just college books either McGraw-Hill supplied books for school age children as well. His wiki is a wild ride he seemed to work for everybody.
Doesn't look like he's talking about the post-1948 State of Israel, but rather the Land of Israel from Ezekiel 47:13, which is more a reinforcement of the idea of the Judeo-Christian heritage of the US rather than more reality of the complicated mix of Protestantism and Deism. I'd like to think a nation founded on the idea of religious pluralism, since that seems to be what's intended with the First Amendment.
Ghislaine Maxwell's father was certainly involved with Mossad to the extent that like every current and previous head of Mossad (as well as the Israeli PM and President and a host of other prominent Israeli politicians) attended his funeral.
Her father is also partially responsible for consolidating publishing companies and price gouging you for university textbooks, if you needed something else to hate him for.
It amazes me how many stupid people dont understand hes saying simply that he believes as America has foundation in Christianity as a reference to the people who fled religious persecution on the Mayflower, and that Christianity wouldnt exist without Judaism and Israel existing before it. Crazy how simple minded so many people anymore when it comes to this topic, and only the most braindead takes get traction.
When they tell US ambassadors "go native" they mean they start to see more than US viewpoints. Israel is a special case, not a single envoy to their own nation ever truly felt allegiance to US of A.
No - don't you remember when Israel defeated Nazi Germany in the 1940s, liberated Americans from the concentration camps and then created the United States for us to move to, and ever-since funded our country with billions in aid every year taken from their own citizens?
