This is hysterical.

Chris Murphy: There needs to be a set of rules that promote goodness and the common good.

Same interview, very next question: Do those rules apply to Democrats? Do you support Graham Platner after all this?

Murphy: That's different.

Change the thread title to get better traction. Watching the world news tonight here in the states there seems to be some civil unrest in Britain over this. Good.

Totally crashed market.

 I remember when the old  ironage forum put together a care package of weights and benches for clarence and the other oldsters to train with at the old age facility that clancy was in.

Thank you for showing conservatives actually will critique their own party if they disagree.

But Walsh strikes me more of someone who will continue to support his party overall, rather that going completely apeshit like some of the other posers and grifters saying their now not voting, or voting blue.

He’s a true believer for sure, which is why I found it so notable.  Admittedly I don’t follow him too closely but I don’t recall him ever criticizing Trumps decisions in such strong terms.  Didn’t have the stones to call anyone out directly, though.  Sad!

It does. I'm sure similar interactions have happened with other presidents, although maybe not quite as vulgar or straightforward.

I think the real influence on US policy happens through AIPAC and other lobbying channels, rather than direct one on one conversations between Israeli and American politicians.

They were writing the same kind of stories about Joe Biden, about how he was giving Netanyahu hell behind closed doors, etc.  Just seems like a way to mollify the base.
