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.

Indeed to Senator Sanders.....

I still hold firm to what I said back in the Hillary v Bernie days: Bernie Sanders is there for White Professional Liberals to vote for in a primary, so that they can feel good about themselves. And secretly the White Corporatist Liberals know that the Goldman Sachs candidate will usually win in the end. Furthermore to the chagrin of the Right, I said - and still believe that while some of the things Sanders espouses would turn America into lazy 2nd rate shitty mooch Europe.....SOME of his positions merit a good discussion and maybe moving partially in his direction on some things. might be a positive.

But I digress.

Thank you Senator Sanders for standing with Congressman Jamal Bowman.

Bowman has been outspoken about Israel's genetical ways, something that irritates Israel's Amen Corner in the US Political Establishment. As this writer said some time ago, the Israeli interests will systematically take these people out, one by one, patiently and methodically. They'll first try to buy them off (partially, AoC was bought off) and ion that doesn't work, they'll use their muscle to defeat them. (Imagine if Putin was openly doing that not with bots, but with consultants, donations, lobbying groups....)

Bowman's opponent is of course well funded with tons of money from the NeoCons. ("NeoCons" was. term thrown around by the SandyLeeLee Left on TMF during the bUsh years. I said it was a bad code word and the Left disagreed. So hey, nothing harmful about using that word in suck context....lol)

Hopefully the NeoCon candidate doesn't knock off Congressman Bowman. Hey, voters, if you doin't show up en masse for Bowman that's fine - but then drop the "Free Palestine" shit like you did with "Save Darfour" or "Make love not war" - give up and bow before the man.
