  • Listened to an interview, shortly after Binden stepped out, with a young Muslim Dem guy who was trying to drum up support in the DNC. He, and the people working with him, were really concerned about the alienation of the Muslim voting block. From what he was saying, it seems the community would usually vote Dem because the GOP are really hostile towards Muslims. But most traditionalist Muslims are hard C conservative, and on the surface level have a lot in common with the “Evangelical” nutjobs that seems to be running the show.

    Yeah, that’s not gonna go the way you think it is…
    If they thought the arms shipments coming in before were fucking their day up…

    The only reason Israel might not glass Gaza when Trump takes power is that they want to move people in after the “unclean” have been erased.
