Trump had a difficult time managing these questions and diverting. The reporters kept asking the questions even though he was insulting them.

    They don’t have kompromat on our politicians. At least, I don’t see any evidence for that. What I do see evidence of is bribery. Look at all of the $$$ AIPAC gives to congress-people, and then look at how they behave towards Israel. Israel is just like any other special interest, buying our politicians.

    Of course, there are some in congress who truly believe in Zionism, like Joe Biden. It’s like how we have shitty gun laws. Part of it is due to how much money the NRA spends lobbying politicians, but part of it is because some of the people in congress truly believe that it’s better when anybody can get ahold of an AR-15. Nobody thinks that the NRA is blackmailing politicians, though. I think the reason why people are willing to believe this about Israel is because it plays into antisemitic conspiracy theories.

      Get real, I can’t read past your first sentence or two. You don’t see evidence of blackmail? Haha. Epstein motherfucker. Which is not all of it either. I question your character and or understanding with that take.

          You discredited yourself right from the start. Take this as a lesson to persuasive writing, don’t turn people off, you want to start with a hook.

            How can you blackmail someone with material that everebody knows? While they get away without any consequences? Explain.

              You do realize there’s a difference between written allegations and video footage of somebody fucking children. Your argument here is rather nonsensical when you look at the situation.

              Which is to say nothing of all the other crimes Israel and others have on our politicians and swells.

              And I can guarantee you the president is a lifelong blackmailer himself that has since his presidency gained an unprecedented amount of blackmail. That’s where we’re at. It’s not great.
