Episode Discussion Ilhan Omar Segment

109 Upvotes

First Emily tells the whole fake story about Ilhan marrying her brother, only to mention that this investigation is unrelated to that. So why bring it up? Then Emily says that if Ilhan's father faked her age (which is made up), and if Ilhan knew (which is made up), and if Ilhan then had her staff change her website (which did happen, but we have no idea if it has anything to do with citizenship), then she'd be in very big trouble and should face criminal charges. Oh, and she very quickly mentions all of this was just made up by her political opponents.

Great reporting Emily, way to stack fake allegations into a new fake allegation. I'm sure on your other show, you'll get to really go off, and maybe say Ilhan brought Somali demons to America or some shit.

Article Trump Cancels Plans for Livestreamed Execution of Fort Hood Shooter

66 Upvotes

Trump's Truth Social post:

Nidal Malik Hasan, a former U.S. Army Major turned traitor, is a very bad and evil man, who killed 13 people, including a pregnant soldier, who died, along with her unborn son, and injured, very seriously, 32 more innocent people. Barack Hussein Obama’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intercepted electronic communications between Hasan and the radical Yemeni-American cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki. When reviewed by his FBI terrorism task force, investigators concluded that Hasan's emails were not a threat. This assessment of the Obama Administration’s actions was later considered to be a key intelligence failure. With all of that being said, I think streaming the execution for all to see might have been a strong deterrent for the World to witness how America deals with Terrorists and SCUM like Hasan but, many very good and well meaning people would rather not watch him die, through streaming, or through any other visual device. He will die, as scheduled, by firing squad, but this event will not be streamed. That said, the execution may be viewed in person by the immediate families of the victims, if they so choose. They deserve to witness JUSTICE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Personal Radar/Soapbox Trump Voters what are your thoughts on Trump 2?

16 Upvotes

How do you think things are going? Are you worried about, or expecting, a “woke 2.0” backlash?

I’m asking because over the last couple of months, nearly all the Trump voters in my life have started distancing themselves from him and his administration, some to the point of implying they never voted for him. I’d like to hear from Trump voters who if not happy with how things are going will at least say with their chest that they voted for trump and why they did and why the alternative was worse.

In the spirit of honesty: I'm a shit lib

Article Trump Donor Files Defamation Suit Against Kimberly Guilfoyle, Vows to Reveal Evidence That May ‘Bring Down the Entire Trump Administration’

13 Upvotes

Trump donor Eric Deters has filed a defamation lawsuit against former U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle following a Wall Street Journal report that she allegedly sought a $100,000 credit card payment in exchange for political influence, prompting her resignation. In a video announcing the legal action, Deters threatened to release a 16-minute phone recording that he claims could severely damage Guilfoyle and potentially impact the current administration.

Saagar Texas Polling - Hemp Excluded?

5 Upvotes

While I don’t disagree with a lot of what was said during today’s segment (https://youtu.be/EbgFRwl8AKg?is=HazeU1mpRKd7H5cI), one glaring topic no one is talking about is the THC/Hemp prohibition that went into effect over the summer in Texas. The Texas consumable hemp market was estimated around $8 billion in 2025. A lot of independents and people who regularly don’t participate in elections will be coming out in droves to vote straight ticket blue due to Republican’s authoritarian stance and actions on THC/Hemp. Larger than Texas is the looming federal hemp ban which continues to be a game of kick the can.

Topic Discussion It's ridiculous that AOC gets more criticism from some on the left than Tucker Carlson does (Ryan Grim is unfortunately guilty of this)

0 Upvotes

AOC isn't perfect, I have criticized her at times. Just search my profile.

But she is also one of the great leaders of the left. She deals with constant misogyny & vitriol from right-wing politicians.

She is younger than I am and I can't imagine dealing with the hatred directed at her from President Trump & other promient politicians since 2018. Yet she is more scrutinized by far too many on the left than Tucker Carlson is.

Carlson is guilty himself of saying vile misogynist things about AOC. The great irony is that AOC was calling Gaza a genocide far earlier than Tucker ever was. There is a difference between talking/working with people you strongly disagree with & glazing them.

AOC herself worked plenty with Matt Gaetz & she is now reaching out to MAHA. Yet we see Ryan criticize her so harshly while he largely defends Tucker. Then you have Cenk Uygur & Ana Kasparian who love Tucker & constantly denigrate AOC (I am so disappointed in Cenk & Ana).

I think AOC is great and I understand why she is uncomfortable with some sections of the left. No one brings up the hostile & vile misogyny she constantly deals with, they nitpick her for often ridiculous reasons.

Krystal The Kamala discourse

0 Upvotes

I gotta say it makes me a little uncomfortable. The oh she comes off so rehearsed and doesn’t stand for anything…that pretty much describes every politician running for president. While also saying she’s a horrible speaker and can’t debate. It seems kinda dog whistle to me.

It goes without saying that Harris lost the election and could’ve run a better campaign. However, the context is important. She had less than 200 days to run a campaign and it’s been more or less reported that if she did create distance from Biden leaks would’ve come out. Oh and there was inflation. All that being considered, the election was relatively close still.

The idea that Harris could run again isn’t the craziest especially if she’s had time to take the political temperature and map out a real campaign. I don’t know breaking points, especially Krystal, just has a certain level of venom towards Kamala that seems to go beyond politics.

Edit: and another thing. The way they talk about “black voters” as some inconvenience that can sway the primary away from progressive candidates instead of constituents just like everyone else is weird. Harris might win the South Carolina primary because the blacks are there!

Topic Discussion Israel Declares ALL ARAB STATES ILLEGITIMATE: Pretext For INVASION

0 Upvotes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdvM6eZWArQ

First of its funny that whenever a resistance arab is interviewed and says that the countries accross the region are just artificial lines drawn up by Sykes- Pico and are not natural borders (some of them advocate joining Syria and Lebanon) they are held up as Erudite freedom fighters but the moment an Israeli acknowledges the same thing its suddenly a problem

Second ill remind everyone that the US-Israeli alliance was never about mutual values. Thats just plablum for the masses. The Israelis arent even natural US allies. The whole kibbutsim foundation of the state made them more natural soviet allies. This is why the US and Israelis werent allies in the beggining. This is something the pro palestinian side will never tell you. Israel was also the only option left for the US as pretty much the entire region had sided with the soviets.

The alliance only really began in the late 1960s when Israel was the only one kicking the ass of soviet backed countries using second tier US gear while the US was losing all over the place particularly in Vietnam. In the Yom Kippur war for example Israelis didnt even have night vision tech that the soviets provided to their arab allies.

Israel also does not destabalize its neighbors. It provides water to Jordan and electricity to Egypt helping both to keep internal stability.

It just destabilizes enemy countries.
