Like Atrios, I’ve never really understood the realpolitik defense for the extent of the American alliance with the Saudis.

because the US signed a pact whereby the Saudis pledged to rape American gasoline buyers and the US pledges to defend Saudi Arabia against any threat.

'The huge mistake' is allowing Israel to persist in its violations and war crimes,"

Nuclear Apartheid commits war crimes.

"John Baird has adopted an arrogant tone. 'The huge mistake' is allowing Israel to persist in its violations and war crimes,", mentioning its illegal settlement activities, the shelling and bombing of innocent civilians in Gaza, the expansion of the apartheid wall and checkpoints, the annexation and political, geographical and cultural transformation of Jerusalem, the superimposition of 'Greater Israel' on historical Palestine, and Israeli policies of ethnic cleansing, particularly in Jerusalem, Area C and the Negev. "The 'red line' is the impunity that Israel enjoys for its violations and the fact that Israel is enabled by apologists like John Baird to persist with the support of self-appointed advocates who become complicit in these war crimes," Ashrawi added.

In bold speech, Oreo republican presidential candidate Ben Carson explains why he's not 'a witch' 'crazy'

When your opening act is explaining to people that you are not, in fact, as insane as you might first sound, you are officially starting off your presidential race as a second-tier candidate at best. But this is conservatism, a movement that is willing to forgive a whole lot of crazy if you just patiently explain that it's all a plot against you.

Kentucky state republian senator CB Embry, Jr. proposes $2,500 bounty on each trans kid caught in ‘wrong’ bathroom

tell me this republican doesn't look like a pedo pervert? he really has a hard on for trans children.

watch a fat bald stupid white cop shoot off his finger

cop sued, of course. it wasnt his fault

British prime minister (this is true): Fox News security analyst is clearly a complete idiot

Faux Spews. An international embarrassment. You fucking republican assholes are making the rest of the world laugh at America.

'Many critics though of Israel's policy would suggest that the Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands as well.'

He meant zionist jews, but Tim Wilcox is absolutely correct. The more the EU points out Nuclear Apartheid's war crimes, the sooner they will end.

Twitter hammers Rupert Murdoch over ‘conservative cancer’ remark

News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch took to Twitter Friday night to chastise Muslims for failing to weed out the “conservative cancer” in their midst, drawing intense criticism on the social media platform.

Murdoch wrote, “Maybe most republicans peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing conservative cancer they must be held responsible,” laying the blame for the actions of a few militant teabags on the approximately 7.5 million followers of the religious cult.

There is no difference between ISIS and Israel. Both are stealing land and murdering Muslims.

Except one has lots of nuclear weapons.

"There is no difference between the terrorism practiced by the group led by [leader of ISIS] Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Israel's terrorism," Erekat said during a speech at a festival celebrating the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday in Jericho, Monday.

"Ending settlement activities is a prerequisite for eliminating terrorism," Erekat added.

Erekat also slammed Israel's decision to withhold Palestinian tax revenues, confirming that Israeli threats would not deter the Palestinian leadership and the Palestinian people from holding firm to their inalienable rights including the establishment of an independent state whose capital is Jerusalem.

“We all like low taxes … but we have to ensure the stability of a revenue stream to provide basic services that our citizens expect.”

And who was the communist that expects government to function? That government has a function? Why, none other than Indiana Senate Majority Leader and tax committee chairman Brandt Hershman.

A republican.

To what, you may ask was he referring to? The failed republican policies of republican asshole Sam Brownback of Kansas.

Geniuses all!

Boy children were raped at Abu Ghraib, on tape, in front of their mothers.

Your tax dollars at work! Say, can someone ask republican war criminal Dick Cheney what intelligence was gleaned from that bit of enhance interrogation technique torture?

Shorter James Fallows: You can count on today's military leaders to selfishly fail the nation and don't expect them to self-improve or fix the problem.

The military’s career structure “corrupts those who serve it; it is the system that forces out the best and rewards only the sycophants.”

Everyone is a Hero these days, especially Flag Officers but not you losers who suffer and die in uniform.  Leadership Failure in the military exists because the cowards are incapable of holding themselves accountable.

Every one of you flag grade cocksuckers are to blame. You have not won a war since WW2. You have only one job.

It's your only fucking job and you've demonstrated time and again that you are not capable of doing it. Why the fuck do we pay you?

refraining from attacking civilians and children is ‘immoral’

So says Nuclear Apartheid fascist Moshe Feiglin.

wait, why isn't this guy being murdered for Contempt Of Cop? oh, right. he's not in America

Giuliani on cops turning backs: Mayor de Blasio ‘bringing it on himself’ by talking about biracial son

So, for this white bigoted republican racist, a father talking about his son - this simple act of vocalization - is worthy of an entire police force attacking in impotent rage.

Oh, please continue your republican minority voter outreach, asshole.
