By the way, we're blockading Cuba. Not that anyone's talking about it.

It’s more than the blank checks, it’s human rights and Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon. We don’t want Israel anywhere near our candidates.

It's not just Netanyahu!! Cmon guys, look at what their major publications publish dripping with hatred and vengeance. Look at the laws they pass!!! They just passed a hanging law for Palestinians on jail for "terrorism". Their court system is a joke. Palestinians cannot even use certain roads for the love of god!!! This is pervasive throughout a VAST MAJORITY of their population. Polls show it, interviews with citizens reflect their attitude of dehumanization. This won't go away if Netanyahu does. Speaking in terms of liberal democracy it is fundamentally UNDEMOCRATIC for a party to support something that over 80 percent of its voting base finds unacceptable.

Typical Friday "we're almost done with the war" play, until Monday madness comes again. Israel will break the ceasefire in no time.

The most important fact to point out is that once again, this is just BS market manipulation at the end of each week and the start of the next. We already know of "short" sales from a few people again today. This is just more corruption and an actual inability to competently do anything. I hope investigative reporters figure out who these people that were tipped off are so that we might one day see some additional accountability.

Yes. Stopped giving to the DNC years ago. My money goes to the individuals. Not happy who they decided to support with my money!

The GOP will get what they deserve. This entire "presidency" is like being tied to a chair and watching a toddler play with a loaded pistol.

I agree with JVL 100% on Netanyahu. I'm not anti-Semitic but Netanyahu is a threat to American democracy.
