      The republicans voted against it because it’s from him, and the democrats voted against it because they’re courting the right.

          Israel support is one of those things where you can confidently say that both sides are the same

            It’s almost like both sides work for the same entity. Would make sense as to why they act similarly when their strategic allies are under pressure.

            Illuminati confirmed.

            Israel and large corporations. Let’s not forget Obama bailing out the banks with tax dollars after the 2008 collapse

              RIAA & MPAA layers in the DoJ. Jeff Immelt for economic recovery. James Crown.

              The DoJ appointments really bothered me because i was a 2600 subscriber and the MPAA shouldn’t even exist let alone have influence on society.

      Israel.

      I don’t think most people posting here understands that in no circumstance will either party allow even to the most delicate of scrutiny of Israel because they are literally our military foothold in the middle east and cannot hide their persistent, deliberate warcrimes.

      Everyone throws out tons of conspiracy theories about zionism and bullshit like that but the simple fact is that with Israel we have a place to stage our military in arguably the most volatile place on the planet when it comes to American interests.

      It’s simply that but we waste so much time pretending it isn’t.

        Thank you for expressing the truth. I get so fucking sick of the constant idiotic takes that ignore the obvious truth to spin political perceptions. It’s only this bad because it’s an election year. Sad truth is that half these moral elitists don’t give a single fuck.
