When asked if he considers himself a Zionist, the governor did not respond directly: “I revere the state of Israel,” he answered. “I’m proud to support the state of Israel. I deeply, deeply oppose Bibi Netanyahu’s leadership, his opposition to the two-state solution and deeply oppose how he is indulging the far right as it relates to what’s going on in the West Bank.”

So I say something that pleases that other group, and now the first group is pissed. I just want you all to like me so I can be the tyrant one day.”

    Israel is one of the worst Apartheit states in the world. There is no need to apologize for the truth.

    I don’t regret it. That’s exactly what they’re doing, and apologizing for it just makes you seem like an insufferable douche.

    I’d rather see a third Trump term than that asshole; and unlike the other guy, I’m not kidding or being sarcastic. It’s like hoping the drunk driver swerves into oncoming traffic rather than continue barreling toward an elementary school’s fieldtrip class. The ratchet effect is in full force and these career/corporate dems are complicit at best.

    No more stalling or stand-still ‘harm reduction’ strategic voting. Fix your shit or die trying America, because calling a brief time-out isn’t going to put out the fires.

    Do you want little genocide? or big genocide? If you don’t vote and choose which of the two piles of shits you want to support, we will take all your tax money to get you extra ethnic cleansing and extra genocide

      Lol. This is like sending back their soup because there was a hair in it and getting back a bucket of pigshit to replace the soup. And then yelling at everybody to stop criticizing their preference to not eat a strand of hair in their soup. Oh and because they are picky about the hair in their soup everyone else in the restaurant also gets buckets of pigshit.

    Here he is, another hypocritical politician. Unfortunately, they are all the same, greedy for power and money, whether it is Trump or this poor guy. “Cheap politicians are bought cheaply” (an old proverb)
