    Well that’s racist. Why is Israel meddling in our elections anyway? I seem to remember it being a big deal when Russia did a few years ago.

      Russia paid off one side, so only the other side complained.

      Israel pays off everyone except progressives (who won’t take it), and moderates/conservatives never give a shit if progressives complain about anything.

      when haven’t they meddled? In any case, Tlaib is Palestinian-American, right? kinda goes without saying why they want her gone.

      Well, more specifically, because she’s pretty vocal about opposing the state of Israel.

          Israel can fuck right off, right now, after breakfast, in the afternoon, this evening, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, ten years from now and in the 26th century.

          They can fuck off and never, ever, fucking come back.

          In fact, Elon Musk is feverishly working on a geostationary orbital platform that beams images of Moses down to Tel Aviv to chide the Israelis and tell them that their new promised land is on Pluto, and that Israel is too infested with impure outsiders for them to safely remain there.

      It’s not Israel, it’s an American pro-Israel group which is a meaningful difference legally.

      And it’s not racist if they’re targeting her obvious and proud pro-Palestinian political opinions and policy objectives. Republicans are funding a candidate against the only Palestinian congress person too, that isn’t racist. They are against her policies.
