    I would agree with this. It's time we got out of there.

    And, we do send too much money to Israel. Are they an independent country or the 51st state?

    If the Middle east is gonna nuke itself and/or gas its "own people", then we need to let nature take its course....

    She has been dog whistling for while now

    She has suggested that Jews have hypnotized the world which is an old anti-semitic conspiracy that the Jews control global power.

    She has insinuated that support for Israel is backed by money which is an old anti-semitic stereotype about Jews and money.

    She also made the comment about American supporters of in Israel are only loyal to Israel.

    This one is the funniest. All lobbying is backed by money. Money makes the whole world go round.

    Agree with most of what you said. And I don't know if Middle East would nuke itself or not, but why can't we let an international body like the UN handle something like it? Every civilized country should dedicate a small force to the UN and this is what the world has at its disposal to prevent genocide, regional conflict, etc.

    I know easier said the done, but it shouldn't be our job to police the fn world.

    Backed down from what? Kicking Omar out of Congress because the Republicans and Foxnews said so?

    The dumbest mistake Pelosi can make is start caring what the Trumplicans think they should do. Condemning all hate is the right choice all day every day. If Omar has to go at some point because of something she says or did the Pelosi and co will kick her to the curb. Do you not remember Al Franken? He’s gone, and Steve King is still in Congress. They can police their own how they want to when they want to.

    If you assume the worst... that this is a scam... read the story and the context, and it actually makes a ton of sense to do what they did.

    22 years old living in the Bronx.... you know how ridiculously expensive it is to afford office space if you are a startup in NYC? If this was a Republican entrepreneur at 22 years old you really think you’d be all up in arms about it?

    No... you know damn well you’d be commending them and saying that small business entrepreneurs are vital to our next generation of contributors to our economy and using govt supplemented space to harvest ideas is a good idea. Taxes... their contribution to our economy is more important to me.

    And that’s assuming the worst. As noted in the story, AOC’s name was used but there’s no evidence yet about how active she really was in this endeavor, and as her office notes, it’s the first they are hearing about it. I’m sure they’ll pay back the 1,800 bucks if it’s owed.

    When will Trump pay back the MILLIONS of dollars he scammed from taxpayers?

    I’m sure she will pay it now, that is if she has anything left after bail money. .
    So you’re saying what about Trump? Didn’t see that one coming.

    Can you not read? I’m not saying anything about the tax fraud that Trump has engaged in. The New York Times is.

    Then there is the Michael Cohen testimony where he laid out multiple tax and insurance crimes as well.

    Where is your outrage there? I guess you think he should be in jail as well too right? If AOC has to go to jail for 1,800 when she was 22 I guess the same standard has to apply to Trump right?
