      Honestly, if he hadn’t smack talked them the day after they got that 45 day budget passed, they probably would back him. Hell, if we didn’t need to get the big budget passed in 45 days, they’d probably do it just to fuck with the Republicans. Or they could fuck with McCarthy by voting for him and making the GOP think he’s cut a secret deal with the Dems.

        I was actually shocked they didn’t back him. I didn’t think Democrats had any low they wouldn’t stoop for the sake of compromise.

      If the result is more cooperation between parties, that sounds good to me. The entire thing that got him ousted was certain far right members saying “you can’t work with the Democrats at all, no matter what,” which is one of the most fucked up, dysfunctional things I’ve heard out of our government in a while

            I’m calling white Jews white.

            White-passing Asian Jews have conditional white privilege that disappears as soon as someone realizes they’re Jewish, and obviously African Jews never get to be white, but white Jews are totally white and like many whites they steal valor from non-white people to make themselves feel less guilty about their white privilege.

            Look at Israel’s businesses and politics; you’ll see mostly white faces. Israel is a white colony run by white people. Truly the 51st state.

          I’ve seen you comment this before and I’m really sick of it. Get Jews out of your mouth and mind your own business. Idk where your hard on for Jews came from but it’s really weird. Grow up.

            I’m really sick of whiteness and sick of the way some white people present themselves as being nonwhite so they don’t feel white guilt.
