      >Politico: Gavin Newsom likened Israel on Tuesday to an “apartheid state” and said its leadership has left the United States no choice but to reconsider military support for its ally in the Middle East.

      Netanyahu and the deranged far right dipshits in his government have done an absolute number on Israel’s favorability among Dems

      We could all just choose one day to keep posting in the previous DT right? Just as a bit o’ fun? For a bit of a jest?

      My take on Paramount acquiring Warner Bros is that a lot of us libs are dooming too much about it. The company is unsustainable as-is. There’s $100 billion in debt, a good half of it are cable television assets, and the business plan for making money requires 30 movies in theaters per year being profitable. The news properties are on the decline and MAGAfying them is going to cause their ratings to slide down further.

      To be clear this is the absolute weirdest thing anyone has throughout this entire war. The context is that there is a good chance that Rubio and Jeb Bush believe Chiang Kai-Shek is a mystical conservative warrior:

      >“I can’t think back on a time when I’ve ever been prouder to be a Republican, Marco,” Bush said, before recounting the tale of “Chang.”

      >“**Chang is a mystical warrior. Chang is somebody who believes in conservative principles, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism, believes in moral values that underpin a free society.** I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side, and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down.”

      >Then Bush presented Rubio a golden sword, and solemnly explained its significance. “I’m going to bestow to you the sword of a great conservative warrior.”

      >Only … a closer look at the sword and its display stand Rubio kept in his Florida Speaker’s suite showed that the inscription read “C-H-I-A-N-G,” not, “C-H-A-N-G.” Specifically: “Unleash Chiang.”

      >Some journalists covering Rubio’s ceremony didn’t recognize the allusion and wrote it up straight. It’s unclear even in a 2012 interview whether Rubio himself understood the story’s origins.
