The congresswoman mocked as an idiot by the left, Marjorie Taylor Greene, is going after the democrat Nazis in Congress. Maybe Bari etal should revisit their opinion of her.

Does anyone have an idea on how we can petition to have Tlaib and Omar expelled from Congress?

We canтАЩt nor should we be able to. We have elections that is the duty of her constituents.

It is the duty of their fellow Democrats in Congress to censure them for the antisemitism they've expressed quite openly. Until that happens, I will not believe that any Democrat in Congress genuinely supports Israel.

Agreed....but what does censure accomplish?

These ingrates will wear it as a badge of honor.

It demonstrates that their fellow Democrats don't secretly agree with them.

Exactly. If Raskin can caucus with Omar, Tlaib and Sandy Cortez, then he's a self-hating Jew, and can't be trusted to stand up to antisemitism. He'll be the first to convert when Torquemada comes back, even with that silly schmata on his head.

I bet you believe Trump told us to drink bleach too.

Hi did imply that it could be injected, and was very unclear about whatever point he was trying to make while he was standing at a microphone during a press conference during a pandemic. Whatever you think of Trump, that was not his finest hour.

If you werenтАЩt an idiot you would know it wasnтАЩt just a тАЬpress conferenceтАЭ but it was explicitly about the use of disinfecting UV light therapy. тАЬInjectтАЭ was not the correct term of art, but the context was clear.

WhatтАЩs funny is that instead of offering helpful context (or even making fun of his possible misuse of a specific term for delivery) they invented the word тАЬbleachтАЭ which was never even said or alluded to.

Anyone who tries to pretend it wasnтАЩt entirely clear what he was talking about is a liar or a useful idiot. Which one are you?

Ummmm, it was a press conference. I know that they discussed light therapy, which the President did refer to, but then he pivoted to discussing "disinfectant" and used the word "inject." You don't inject light, so thanks for agreeing with me that he fumbled that exchange. Please go to the tape, because right after that he starts making a wiping motion with his hand. No one in the world thinks this was entirely clear. Now, you should probably get back to doing your homework because your parents probably wouldn't like it that you're on a big people website talking about things you don't understand.

The comments were made during a discussion of novel methods to kill viruses, like UV light or substances INHALED into the lungs.

The President is not medically or even scientifically trained, and used the word, INJECTED, which suggests a needle going into a vein. That is what the media ran with, of course, but that is absurd. If the media were fair, it would have realized Inhalation was the mode of administration under discussion.

From what I recall of the actual video, he was asking whether there was something *like* bleach that could disinfect people's lungs. Clearly the guy's basic medical knowledge is lacking, but the question he was asking was not unreasonable if you lack that knowledge.

Watch the video again. It was unreasonable for the President of the United States, off the cuff with microphones and cameras on, to conjecture about this. He was asking a question about injecting bleach at the same time that he was talking about Covid damaging the lungs, so it was very unclear what he was getting at, which he really didn't clarify. But then he was also making a wiping motion with his hand, which seemed to indicate some type of external application to disinfect surfaces, which is what the presenter had been talking about. You either clarify what you want to say before the press conference or you don't make such a confusing statement in the middle of it. I'm not saying that he was instructing people to drink bleach, but a reasonable person may have concluded that he was asking about injecting it. I'm saying he should have been more careful with millions of concerned Americans watching him.

No I donтАЩt believe that. I know that was the legacy media not putting his full statement out for full context. But he has said some pretty dopey things without any help from the media.

Maybe you should stop swallowing lies and read Greene's actual twitter post. Although I'm not a huge fan of hers, she never used that phrase., although it's an oft-repeated lie. Her post refers to the confluence of interests in CA and the CA wildfires. Goofy it may be but anti-Semitic it is not.

I havenтАЩt тАЬswallowedтАЭ anything. I read her original Facebook post and no she didnтАЩt say тАЬjewish space lasersтАЭ together. She does talk about space lasers and then proceeds to repeat tropes about the Rothchilds and banking. She has said many dopey ignorant things about Jewish people in the past. IтАЩm not going to list them all here- although comparing mask wearing to the horrors of what happened in the Holocaust was a doozy. And now weтАЩre supposed to give her credit for capitalizing on whatтАЩs going on in Israel? She is a typical politician and not a very bright one.

I agree that she's not very bright. And her twitter post was idiotic. But you're also wrong about her "repeating tropes" about Rothschilds. She merely pointed out that a director of PG&E was also a director of Rothschilds. But since you conceded my point that her post didn't say "Jewish space lasers" you made my point. It's very dangerous to repeat unquestioningly the lies of the Left.

I think it is naive to think she was merely тАЬpointing outтАЭ the link to the Rothchilds but we can agree to disagree. She has said many ignorant things against Jewish people previously and they are on record. Comparing having to wear a mask to the numbers that Jewish people had to wear in Nazi Germany. Is not just stupid it is dangerous and shows no understanding of history. There was a piece in the Jerusalem Post highlighting all her outrageous comments about Jews and yes they are antisemitic. The definition of antisemitism is not just to show hatred but also hostility towards Jews. So she has that in common with the Squad. I appreciate you wanted to make your point but she has said far worse things to prove she is an antisemite.

Oh, look! Another mind reader whose gift assures him all the people he doesnтАЩt like are really thinking terrible things they never actually say out loud. You know how I know they donтАЩt say them out loud? Because you couldnтАЩt offer a single quote. Just vague assurances that you just know what she really thinks.

Maybe youтАЩd have a happier life if you used this skill to predict lotto numbers or something. lol

"Comparing having to wear a mask to the numbers that Jewish people had to wear in Nazi Germany. Is not just stupid it is dangerous and shows no understanding of history."

Not exactly.

тАЬYou know, we can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany,тАЭ Greene said. тАЬAnd this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.тАЭ

Stupid? Arguably. But hardly dangerous. Or anti-Semitic.

That is your opinion and your entitled to it. I will agree to disagree. It is not just stupid to equate second class citizenship to be taken away to be slaughtered. Bad ideas can be dangerous whether they come from the left or the right and it is what is causing the decay of our government, universities and civil society.

Fair enough. But people are allowed in America to express bad ideas, even if you find them "dangerous." That's a very slippery slope. It leads to trying to pull the licenses of doctors who told the truth about Covid. Or that those who try to withhold Frankenstein surgeries on children are denying them "gender affirming care" and should be punished.
