It's quite hilarious to watch Trump's most sycophantic defenders sanctimoniously lecture Thomas Massie on the solemn, sacred duty to leave the stage gracefully after an election defeat. And -- as always in pro-Israel discourse -- it's accompanied by accusations of bigotry.

@ggreenwald @a_newsman He's right. No need for his Jew hatred during a concession speech.

@JammieWF @a_newsman Everyone I no like is a wayyy-cist!!

@ggreenwald @a_newsman What are you babbling about?

@JammieWF @a_newsman Going around screaming BIGOT and RACIST at everyone is pathetic but I actually hope you keep doing it because all it does is create resentment and backlash to your slavish pro-Israel mindset.

@ggreenwald @JammieWF @a_newsman Democrats: “you’re not for the BLM organization? You must be racist” Republicans: “you’re not for foreign interests buying elections? You must be antisemitic”

@wildcardwarhol @ggreenwald @JammieWF @a_newsman Now do Islamist dipshit. Who spend over 5x more. and the only foreign interference what the money he was getting from outside the state and from different Islamist groups and Code Pink which got its money from none other than Iran..

@navyjava5 @ggreenwald @JammieWF @a_newsman I’m against that too! No foreign influence in elections. Full stop. But as long as we’re entangled in foreign wars, I don’t see it stopping.

The sad part of the whole discussion is that the loudest voices seem to only be harping on AIPAC and no one else. I don’t have a problem with Americans lobbying their government. I have a much bigger beef with Direct foreign interference and the biggest ones are China and Qatar. People are silent about them. That’s the real problem.

@navyjava5 @ggreenwald @JammieWF @a_newsman I understand where you’re coming from with that- I think it definitely needs to be a national conversation.

@wildcardwarhol @ggreenwald @JammieWF @a_newsman I’m more of the opinion that if the move comes from overseas- it should be more transparent. There is soooo much room for reform if the lobbying organizations as to American citizens ok. Governments overseas NO.

@navyjava5 @wildcardwarhol @ggreenwald @JammieWF @a_newsman The issue is that the only side that opposes making it illegal to lobby on the behalf of ANY foreign interest is AIPAC, and AIPAC has just shown that it can buy out elections. AIPAC is also the only PAC of its kind that is allowed to not register as a foreign lobbying group.
