The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Meghan McCain Begs Trump Admin to Ditch Lindsey Graham as an Iran War Surrogate: ‘He Is Scaring People’

McCain could not contain her disgust with Graham following the senator’s interview with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. Graham told viewers “just wait to see what comes in the next two weeks,” which led Bartiromo to ask what was coming next.

“We’re going to blow the hell out of these people,” Graham said.

Why would Senator Graham advocate for mass murder of Iranians, rather than a negotiated settlement?

from the net sifter:

According to data from OpenSecrets and tracking groups like TrackAIPAC, Senator Lindsey Graham has received approximately $1 million in career contributions from pro-Israel interest groups and political action committees (PACs) between 1990 and 2024.

Key details regarding this funding include:

Total Amount: Data indicates he has received $999,580 to $1,000,580 from pro-Israel groups.

Source of Funds: A significant portion of this funding has come from the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) and other pro-Israel PACs.

Context: Graham is frequently noted as one of the top recipients of pro-Israel lobby money in the U.S. Senate.

Ranking: He is ranked among the top 25 career recipients of pro-Israel money in the Senate (1990-2024).


If he was in a leadership position, like Jeffries, he would really be raking it in.

If we openly said he was in the Senate to service Israel, like Ted Cruz, he would be raking more in.

from the net sifter:

Ted Cruz has received over $1.87 million from pro-Israel groups between 1990 and 2024, making him one of the top recipients of such funds in the US Senate. According to OpenSecrets data, top contributors from 2019-2024 included the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the Republican Jewish Coalition.

Key details regarding contributions include:

Total Contributions: Approximately $1,872,592 (1990–2024).

Top Contributing Group: American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) provided over $560,000 between 2011 and 2024.

Recent Funding: In the 2023-2024 cycle alone, he received over $1 million from pro-Israel interests.

2018 Cycle: He received $352,894 from pro-Israel donors during that election cycle.


If these folks are so gung ho for Israel, how about they move there and enlist in the IDF?
