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.

‘I Truly Don’t Care’: Report Says Fetterman Has Become Apathetic About His Duties—While Advocating For Israel

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., is showing growing apathy for the duties of his job outside of the public spotlight, often cancelling or refusing meetings with fellow lawmakers and constituents, while prioritizing interviews with Fox News and meetings with Israel advocates, according to a new Wall Street Journal report.

Rep. Thomas Massie says every Republican in Congress has a pro-Israel "AIPAC babysitter"

"And I have Republicans who come to me and say, 'That’s wrong, what AIPAC is doing to you. Let me talk to my AIPAC person.' By the way, everybody but me has an AIPAC person."

"What does that mean, an AIPAC person?" Carlson asked.

"It’s like your babysitter. Your AIPAC babysitter who is always talking to you for AIPAC. They’re probably a constituent in your district, but they are, you know, firmly embedded in AIPAC," the Kentucky Republican responded.

"I don't know how it works on the Democrats' side, but that’s how it works on the Republican side. And when they come to DC, you go have lunch with them. And they’ve got your cell number, and you have conversations with them."

If Venezuela is the US' colony, because Trump the Conqueror dictates Venezuelan policy, then the US is Israel's colony, because Israel dictates US policy?
