Let's be honest about another factor: public criticism of Israel is often answered by cries of antisemitism.  You can be critical of China and not be accused of hating Chinese people.  Same with France, Brazil, hell even North Korea.  But criticism of Israel is risky because in some quarters, it is like you're all of a sudden a Holocaust denier.  

Or, you people could try criticizing the government of Israel without using anti-Semitic language.

Hope this helps.

I don't see too much anti-Semitic language in the criticism of Israel.

I get we aren’t just talking about the 2 clowns, but their trip was sponsored by people who support terrorists and other things. Outside of those 2, I agree anti semitic language isn’t as prevalent.

Sure.  Half the "Squad" certainly seems to meander into that territory.  I wasn't excluding them, of course.  I just meant as a whole.

Obama buying a $15M beach house. Good for him. Weird how Capitalism works.

Same guy also said, “I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”

I saw the carbon footprint on Martha’s vineyard, waiting for the remorse.

In before QO says "told you so":

“I think we are about to see the biggest scandal in American history,” Byrne said in an interview with Stuart Varney on Fox Business. “Everything you think you know about the Russia and Clinton investigations was a lie, it was all political espionage. I think [U.S. Attorney General William Barr] has gotten to the bottom of it.”

It's highly unlikely that it's being done through the algorithm alone--that names and sites are being added to it via an algorithm.

It's not impossible, however, to manually create and edit a blacklist that the algorithm uses.  I'd want to see the proof that Vorhies has before just buying it hook, line, and sinker, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.

this too is fake news......the far left swamp has sent him out to make crazy allegations so it muddies the water and make it all seem less likely.  Dont believe what you see.

Their city is a disaster, so hey, let’s do a cultural war on language. 

 

They are literally insane.

Why are you and the Fox News set always so obsessed by San Francisco?  The place has always been crazy.  That the way people there want it to be. You don't live there, so why do you care?  Every single time SF does something batshit, your whole crew starts from square one with the same predictable reactions.  There's an easy solution: don't live there and stop reading about it.

We care because it is still part of the USA (sadly), plus all the ‘democrat’ candidates for president want to govern the nation in fashions similar to California and SF.  So exposing their batshit craziness is no doubt a service to the republic.

 

Have a great weekend.

LOL....wow, there's a hot take.  I know he's batshit, but if this is a false flag operation then the Dems are playing 7D chess.

I care for the lulz.  It's awesome how over-the-top ridiculous people are there.

But I'm not QO, and I don't have any confidence in Fox News.
