"It comes across as a racist double standard."

My response to @piersmorgan's classic 'Do you condemn Hamas?' question to Palestinian/pro-Palestinian/brown guests.

Me: "Hamas is a symptom of the problem...& now you have 10s of 1000s of orphans, people who've lost their kids...what you think they're not going to fight back?"
Piers: "I feel the same way."
Me: "Then we agree."

Watch @piersmorgan agree with me on the futility of Israel's war:

Irony is dead. For months now, American politicians & pundits, Jewish community leaders & students, have obsessed over ‘from the river to the sea’; censuring Rashida Talib & accusing pro-Palestinian activists of genocidal language.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Israel says:

To be clear btw: when @RashidaTlaib said ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’, and when @marclamonthill said it, theirs was a call for *freedom* in that space

Netanyahu’s ’from the river to the sea’ is much worse - it’s a call for permanent military *occupation*.

@RashidaTlaib @marclamonthill I would love for every member of Congress. Democratic and Republican, every single person who voted to censure Tlaib, to be asked to comment on Netanyahu’s ‘from the river to the sea’ remarks. Do they condemn them? If not, why not?

Last night, Trump brought his own (fake) receipts, stuff on a piece of paper.
Had it not been for the town hall format, Kaitlan Collins could have come armed with her own receipts.
E.g. when he denied asking Raffensperger for votes, she could have played the audio!
1/

E.g. when Collins asked Trump about the violence and injuries inflicted on police officers on January 6th, and Trump immediately deflected to Ashley Babbitt, Collins could have played video of the horrific violence and made Trump watch it with her and respond to it.
2/

E.g. when Trump was falsely claiming he gave the order on the National Guard on Jan 6th, and denying his acting SecDef Christopher Miller later said otherwise, Collins could have played the relevant Miller audio from the January 6th Committee.

So ahead of Trump's appearance on CNN, we get to watch JD Vance - a man who has pushed conspiracy theories and the white supremacist 'Great Replacement' - come on live and do a friendly, pre-game chat.

The normalization of extremism and conspiracism continues.

Anyone watching this interview with Vance on CNN right now would have no idea how extreme Vance is.

Doesn't bode well for the actual interview with Trump.

Vance just said on CNN that the Carroll case was a 'he said she said' issue - even though Carroll produced 2 witnesses to back her claims from the time, & 2 women who also claimed they were assaulted by Trump. That's: he said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said.
