So we are now comparing the views of the Catholic’s to gays to the views of the Muslim Brotherhood of Jewish people and saying they are similar?

Extraordinary.

You do realize the connection is simply that just because you associate with a group, doesn't mean you adhere to every position they hold. You're not a dunce, even though sometimes you like to play one on tv.

Ellison may very well hate Jews. And yes it's up to you to live your life in way that shows that "Yes, I associate with group A, but I don't believe they have the right position on topic alpha." It certainly doesn't seem like Ellison has done that, but he's not really on my radar except for every 6 months or so somebody brings him up here.

I understand what you’re trying to convey. It’s just a dumb comparison. One is a religion, the other is a group which actively hates and has had rallies saying “kill all Jews.”

That’s like joining the KKK because you like that they wear white, but say you don’t believe one of their core beliefs.

[CBear3]

OK, I'll settle for that
Not the first time I've said something somebody thought was dumb, won't be the last. Was just going for something I had personal experience with.

Do we also hate Omar for giving Abrams **** yesterday? It was great seeing the neocons reemerge to defend him.

Some good ole Anti-Semitic tropes in that cartoon. #hooknose #bloodlibel

So, after listening to the American Scandal episodes on Iran-Contra my opinion of all involved is significantly worse, and I didn't think that was possible.

I was really trying to find a side-by-side of Count Von Count and Abrams.

I think Leon Neyfakh's (slowburn) next project is going to be on this too, I am interested in gaining a full understanding of wtf happened here.

"After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens" - Amazon spokeswoman Jodi Seth

When Nike's full ad aired, my father and I looked at each other and said that's going to work.
At the Chicago Marathon, the tagline "It's only a crazy dream until you do it," encouraged runners to put their dream on a fake bib number and hang it on the wall. It was 50 x 8 and covered ten deep.

The messenger just wasn't that important.

Oh man, that has got to have Cuomo and de Blasio steaming. Amazon just decided to say "F it" and give up dealing with the community activists. Guess those 25k jobs will go elsewhere.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says he needs “at least a couple weeks” to review the spending bill. But won’t blow up the process. “I’ll just vote no.” We expect a Senate vote in late afternoon/early evening

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA);
I need at least a day. We need to find out the nuggets

I fully endorse voting no or not voting at all if you haven't had the time to review the bill (within reason of course... eventually enough time is enough time, but I don't know where that line is).

[Viva la Ben]

Mitch and Rand are quite the Kentucky couple.

[Troy Loney]

Rand needs to make his video where he points at specific line items and says that they are funding deep state anti-trump activities. He knows how to tie his libertarian bonafides into trumpisms.

Amazon said it won’t reopen its headquarters search. It will continue to add jobs at its other headquarters location in Northern Virginia, as well as offices in Nashville and other tech hubs around the country, the company said.

Three West Hollywood council members urge Mayor John Duran to resign amid harassment allegations. He says he won’t. “Look, I am a creature of the sexual liberation of the 1970s...I live out loud. I’m very colorful. I’m very flamboyant. I’m very sexual.”

You have to be tough to make it in New York City. We gave Amazon the opportunity to be a good neighbor and do business in the greatest city in the world. Instead of working with the community, Amazon threw away that opportunity.

What an inane thing to say. Cuomo is such a dodint, and so is NYC.
