I’ve never heard this but the president of the us shouldn’t be saying this 

She filed tax returns with 2 diff dudes. Whether she meant to or not, there is some sketch about it. She’s also a horrible human

Isn’t anti anti-Semite the same thing as pro Israel?

Ha yea I meant anti- anti-Semite. And no, that doesn’t mean pro-Israel. It just means not a Jew hater.

Personally I have great healthcare but I’m tired of seeing all my timelines filled everyday with our real insurance plan in this country. Go fund me

Individuals giving of their own free will to help their fellow man in need, sucks to see that kind of shit.  I'd rather see the government by force of law confiscate my funds and employ minders to decide on my behalf who should benefit from my funds.

I actually saw this he was specifically asked a question by the press on the matter.  This is an example of the press pushing buttons to create news.

I will grant you that the chant is fucked up. She might suck and be horrible, but messed up.

Umm ... Anti-Semite?  As in anti-Jew?

No.  They're opposites.  The "Semitic" people are ethnically Jewish.  As such, if one is "anti-" Semitic, they are against Jews, which would ... if we reach a little bit, be anti-Israel, and not pro-Israel.

But anti-Semitism generally doesn't have as much to do with the actual nation state of Israel as it does people who are ethnically Jewish, which means it's more personal than geopolitical.

From what I understand Rand Paul asked that the funds for the first responders be paid for by taking equal amounts from somewhere else.

Thanks for the clarification. I know the people in the south have a long history of sticking up for Jewish people

I'm not sure about that. I think it's generally a mix of liberals and conservatives who stand against anti-semitism. It's when you go further from the center on both sides is where it starts to play out.

Yup and I will defend Rand and Lee.  They are one of the very few principled politicians we have.  He has been trying to bring attention to our increasing national debt since he has been in office and nobody seems to GAF.  If they are blocking this vote, they are doing it for a reason.   This tweet by some random guy implying Rand/Lee hate America and Illhan doesn't is a joke at best.

If that is the case, the Paul and Lee should vote against every single budget measure. 

Not approving the federal funds for 9/11 responders is a fucking shame in my view. Even if you are a fiscal conservative, this is one of the things the federal government should step up to the plate and actually do. I equate this to basically funding troops healthcare in the VA.

1. How does this translate into some moral right to take from me against my will and allow others to decide who benefits from my productivity?

2. Why is theft preferable to you rather than voluntary generosity? I love when someone receives thousands of dollars to help fix a situation not of their making.

Was that funding a clean resolution?  If so then its a shame.  Since Nancy said she isnt passing anything clean then voting it down because someone threw in a bunch of pork BS for their districts or money for funding planned parenthood or something like that then vote no on it.  The media should do their job and explain why people voted no
