If you defend billionaires in your free time I will judge you harshly. If you call it the Gulf of America I will mock you incessantly. If you are MAGA, untangle your identity from your politics and rejoin reality.

It's so cute that you all believe they will ever face consequences. They will not cede power. Congress will never do anything. The supreme court will not prevent another coup. The media will not allow the truth to get out. It's all being done right out in the open and no one cares.

Exactly. It's not plausible that Rudy was drunk and forced a young woman off the road. It's ridiculous to think that after he ran her off the road he left his car on the highway and while he was being a creep his car was rear ended.

Btw - I brought up AIPAC because that was the topic of discussion. You and the other chimed in unsolicited.
Patrick (@cubswin.bsky.social) reply parent
Before AIPAC was called AIPAC it was called the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs. All I know is that AIPAC is far more aligned with evangelical MAGA/far right extremism than any other political sphere. And I know that Netanyahu is so far right I don't know how any Jew could defend him

Whatever. I asked a question in good faith and while you didn't put as many words in my mouth, you both jumped down my throat. Have a nice day. I still don't understand why you are defending AIPAC when they clearly do recognize the "Christian" version of Zionism.
Patrick (@cubswin.bsky.social) reply parent
Wow, you sound so self important. I didn't see your response. I was too busy getting berated by the other person. I still don't understand what I said that was offensive. Do all Jews reject the Chritian version of Zionism? If so, then why does AIPAC clearly prefer Christian Nationalists?
Patrick (@cubswin.bsky.social) reply parent
Being told it is a Christian concept is not a definition. If it is just a Christian concept then why does AIPAC identify as a Zionist lobby?

Why do you? I was responding to L’Etat C’est Moi who was talking about AIPAC. And where did I say Israel doesn't have a right to exist? Seriously. Are you trying to tell me that AIPAC is not a Zionist organization?

I don't know how me asking a question gets to that but whatever. You never asked, you only assume you know what I think or believe. To me Zionism is a political movement used to control Christians and Jews. I'd rather place blame where it belongs. Netanyahu and Hamas.
