Olivia Reingold on the Mangionistas. Did an AI-generated story just dupe a literary prize? Plus: Check out our new podcast, ‘The Lindbergh Conspiracies.’ And more.
So republican voters are getting rid of their Jew-hating nutters, Massie was trounced (his concession speech sounded like a Nazi rally) but apparently not so much in the democratic party. Republicans from Trump on down have made it very clear, that Jew-haters are not welcome in the GOP.
What does it say about democratic voters that Galindo received the most primary votes? Something is rotten in the democratic party, but what do you expect when you go all in for Jew-hatred (both overt and "the wink and nod" kind) in order to win over a small fringe minority, which apparently isn't so fringe anymore. It doesnt matter that dem leadership denounced her. These so-called leaders (including the likes of Schumer, Shapiro, Slotkin, Emanuel-anyone who defames AIPAC or says there is a genocide in Gaza) are the arsonists that set the match but say they are not responsible when their compatriot then throws the lit match into a wood pile which burns down the house.
BTW any of the democratic leadership read the just released report on the sexual violence of October 7? Any of them denounce the NYT for turning itself into Der Sturmer on the Hudson with that Kristof fantastical crap?
too bad he was removed by AIPAC and Trump. AIPAC is obviously controlled by Israel and as a foreign agent is a shameful organization that should be registered and treated as a foreign agent and banned from influencing our elections. As for the magatards who support this buffoon who is President, who now has prosecuted a failed war, resulting in higher gas prices and and inflation and who now has made himself immune to IRS prosecution so he can further plunder the nation I would say damn you folks are just plain obtuse and stupid.
TRUMP: “Thomas Massie is terrible congressman. He voted against men in women’s sports. He voted against transgender for everybody — the mutilation of your children. He voted against open borders. He opposed the SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections."
House records clearly show Massie voted yes on H.R. 28, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, and yes on H.R. 3492, the Protect Children's Innocence Act banning gender-affirming care for minors. Massie didn't vote for 'open borders' he voted against an insane omnibus bill with hundreds of of billions of unrelated spending. He has clearly stated multiple times that if a single issue bill to close the board were ever brought he'd be the first one to vote yes.
Massie has repeatedly supported the SAVE Act, He voted YES on the SAVE Act itself on the floor multiple times, and has publicly stated his support for voter ID/proof of citizenship to vote, and urged the Senate to pass the bill only to have Thune and McConnel bury it.
Trump just outright lied (which is nothing new) and then 3 billionaires with zero connection to Kentucky came in and spent more money than has ever been spent on a primary election in history and were successful in defeating him. Ed Gallrein refused to debate, made limited public appearances, and is expected to vote for anything Trump demands. Strange how TFP isn't at all curious about this by asking who these people are and why is their motivation to take Massie down so rabid.
President Trump said it was his personal mission to end Thomas Massie’s career after Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein disclosures and fought him on spending and being involved in wars overseas. I mean think about the viciousness of this comment. He didn't say this about Mitch McConnel, JohnThune, Fred Upton, Lindsey Graham, Roy Blunt and an army of other anti-Trump GOP politicians, he said this about a guy who has a 96% liberty score.
Gallrein's entire 13 minute victory speech was entirely about war and demanding everyone get behind Trump's wildly unpopular war with Iran. How many minutes on helping Kentuckians on healthcare, inflation, immigration, the opiate crisis that has completely ravaged the state? Zero, zip, nada. Oh......and then he didn't take a single question from the media.
The slop that TFP pushed out by Seth Mandel is a joke. 'The president proved more powerful than the right-wing antisemites.' Hey fuck stick......not wanting to be involved in another middle east war isn't antisemitic you jackass......its what Trump campaigned on & won on and why support for the Netanyahu and Trump administrations is at an all time low. Try reading the room retard.
PS - I can't wait for all the troglodytes to pop up and try justify & rationalize what we've all witnessed in Kentucky. When you come, please do us all a favor and tell us how important Kentucky has been to Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson in the past.
Thanks Lanny. What we witnessed in Kentucky is shameful and will only worsen the divide in the GOP and most likely worsen the opinion of Israel's perceived influence in our government. Buckle up, b/c its probably going to get a lot worse. Have a great week my friend.
The mangionistas resurfaces a question i have posed for years: in todays digital world who or what qualifies as a member of the press? And who gets to decide who gets the benefits of press freedom ( that is so often abused)? Those who seek to silence speech using the "hate speech" argument never seem interested in limiting the lesser right of press freedom even where " hate press" is involved. Then again just two standards to serve ideological ends. All in the name of protecting democracy of course on the way to utopia
"They call themselves the Mangionistas—one is a Fulbright scholar turned sex video game creator, and the other is a “Hot Girls for Zohran” influencer."

Even when I disagree with you on an issue I respect your insights.
Good post with many truths.

God protect us from those who claim that they are "protecting democracy."
I thought they had God on their side, especially the atheists

"Texas Democrats have denounced Galindo’s comments."
Maureen, see what happens when you try and tack to the middle in the Democrat Party?
Throwing ICE Officers in concentrations camps is NOT enough!
If you had just come out for castrating them as well, a bright political future would have been assured.
Remember Maureen...
“Extremism in defense of Hamas is no vice.
Moderation in pursuit of DEI is no virtue.”
😉😉😉😉😉
A minor edit: "publicly" denounced. In private , oh so many wanted dead ICE officers, and not just the loss of their "privates".
"They call themselves the Mangionistas—one is a Fulbright scholar turned sex video game creator, and the other is a “Hot Girls for Zohran” influencer."
When is their OnlyFans debut?
“Hot Girls for Zohran”
Hot is in the eye of the beholder.
