So this black Republican is defending Nazis and the Confederacy? Well, it's a good thing both of those groups highly respected black people.
Wait, they didn't?!!!
He's probably head of his local Black ~~Panthers~~ Leopards (Will Eat My Face).
Fine, it wasn't a very good joke.
It's good in my opinion (which no one cares about)
I liked it.
Would be better without the parens because it leaves something for the reader to figure out, but not a bad joke at all.
He doesn't need republicans to respect him. He needs them to give him money and power and they will happily do that as long as he runs defence for them while they make life worse for other black people. As long as he has money and power he will be insulated from the bad things his policies might inflict on him.
Antisemitism is a feature, not a bug in the modern GOP
But! But! The whole, "We stand with Israel" - surely you're not suggesting that's ...performative?!?
/s
It's not performative; it's genuine but self-serving. The GOP supports Israel -- not Jews, Israel -- because its existence is a precondition of the End Times and they're trying to accelerate those so they can get Raptured.
I'm not even joking.
I long for the days when this would have been the biggest story in US politics for weeks.
Who knew Grimace was such an asshole?
The Hamberdler.
So that means Republicans will eviscerate him for being anti-Israel, right?
Republicans (or Evangelicals, who've taken over) only support Israel because it's a required part of bringing about Armageddon, so they can all go and get in on the rapture and the liberals can be left to burn in hell.
Division of Church and State seems to be yet another bit of the Founding Father's documents they do seem to ignore.
