@ConnorL14631 @janecoaston You made a lunatic comparison and have now shown yourself to have zero reading comprehension. No one says it excuses the murder. Look up nuance and context.

Justin Fairfax murdered his wife. His children found her body. Come the entire hell on.
English
@ConnorL14631 @janecoaston This is a lunatic comparison. His entire life and career were imploded by the allegations. He was fired from his law firm and was generally viewed poorly. Hitler not getting into art school is degrees of magnitude different. It takes a special mind to make such a comparison.
English
@LoonyLegislator @janecoaston I think her point is that’s a weird thing to focus on after he murdered his wife. It would be strange if the Hitler obituary contained three paragraphs about how he was never given a chance at art school.
English
@janecoaston I’m not following your point. The posts you shared argue that unsubstantiated accusations derailed his career and ruined his life. That appears true to the record and was cited in separation proceedings as contributing to alcoholism and related struggles. What’s your beef here?

@taliaotg @SenSchumer @gillibrandny See also “lines of Jewish activists amass outside of the offices of Winston Churchill and FDR in 1944 accusing them of genocide against the Jews.”

@ryangrim If only the protesters had a way to know back in 2024, when they were basically campaigning for Trump, that is could happen 🙄 timesofisrael.com/trump-says-hel…
English
The crackdown at universities included expulsions, criminal charges, the actual jailing of students for as little as an oped, new campus rules that made criticizing Israel a punishable offense, the banning even of megaphones at demonstrations…and then Neera “wonders” where the protests went. Such a mystery!

Gotta say, I have also been wondering why there are no shame chants at Trump staff.

@mattyglesias What’s going on with the densely populated northeastern states that are showing robust growth even as they shed population?

@Acyn Is she intentionally going for Cersei Lannister seasons 1-4? Any word on whether she has a twin brother who wants to join the secret service?

@JonahDispatch @AriFleischer Very thoughtful column, thanks for sharing.

Follow-up column on why I think @AriFleischer and similar critics of NATO are either arguing in bad faith or haven't been paying attention. thedispatch.com/article/trump-…

Sorry, Ari. I just saw your response. I think it is hilarious that rather than actually respond to my point, you simply opted to double down on your practice of carrying water for Trump like a modern-day Gunga Din. I think it's great that NATO is spending more on defense. I think Trump can be commended for encouraging it (though the turd-polishing of some folks on this front is often embarrassing. He primarily didn't do it to "save" NATO or even to make it stronger). But all of this is irrelevant to the point you dodged. If you think Trump has handled the transatlantic alliance well since being elected to his second term, say so. Own it. Don't deflect. But if that is your position, that's pure idiocy or dishonest spin. Our NATO allies *should* step up. It would be in their interest. But Trump has made the politics of that near-impossible by threatening Greenland, claiming that our allies didn't really fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, (not Vance's Munich performance, dicking around with Ukraine) etc. Even the far right (outside of Hungary) parties hate Trump now. Then, when Trump launched this war on Iran he said he didn't need any of their help because we already won. Now, he's asking for help, but he can't concede error or even ask nicely. So he implies their all cowards who need to muster "delayed courage." Defend that Ari. Hell simply acknowledge it.

@JonHillVFLRF @1MotherTrucker1 @Tenn_MAGA2 Good point - in todays’s world tech and finance play an ever important role in waging a modern war. NYC and Silicon Valley will be helpless against (checks’s notes) ughh Mobile.
English
@ConnorL14631 @1MotherTrucker1 @Tenn_MAGA2 If you think a civil war would go the same in today’s world you might be alittle mental.
English
@1MotherTrucker1 @Tenn_MAGA2 If only there were a real life example of number 2 actually fighting a civil war. I wonder how that would go? 🤔

@DeKalb142046 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch Oh no not Clinton 🤣 Fuck him too. He was President 30 years ago. What’s going on with Trump and Maxwell? Why does he wish her well? Why is she getting such good treatment? yahoo.com/news/articles/…

@ConnorL14631 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch Epstein's whole business involved hanging out with famous people. There are plenty of pictures of Epstein with other celebrities. He even went to Chelsea Clinton's wedding --after his arrest.
English
I agree with some of this directionally, but my God the refusal to acknowledge that Trump has worked assiduously to poison the alliance and heap all the blame on Europe is just water-carrying hackery.
Saying "NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause" is like writing a movie review when you missed the first half of the movie.
Ari Fleischer@AriFleischer
When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@ConnorL14631 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch I'm sure that living in Japan gives you tremendous insight into the minds of MAGA. If Trump had done anything with Epstein, the Biden administration would have shouted it from the rooftops.
English
@DeKalb142046 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch I wonder if Trump genuinely changed his mind? A lot of MAGA says Bibi is using intel Jeffery Epstein and Mossad gathered on Trump to blackmail him into going into Iran. Makes you think 🤔
English
@ConnorL14631 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch Trump is not making the mistakes we made in Iraq. Trump has wanted to take out the mullahs for 47 years. You don't know anything about MAGA--stop spouting lies.
English
@DeKalb142046 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch So Israel is a strategic liability that constantly needs us to protect them while Denmark is a useful ally who (unlike Israel) fought for America? It sucks for Israel they are constantly under attack but that sounds like a their problem not an our problem - we’re not a charity.
English
@ConnorL14631 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch Which lethal enemies surround Denmark? Is Denmark under constant threat of attack? It was good for Danish soldiers to get some practice fighting; Israeli soldiers are always on high alert or in combat.
English
@DeKalb142046 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch More and more of “MAGA” — including Trump — are rejecting…Trump!
English
@ConnorL14631 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch More and more of MAGA --including Trump--has been rejecting Tucker, Meagan and Owens. Polls show 90% of MAGA supports the war.

@ConnorL14631 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch NATO Countries have a combined population of over 500,000. Israel's population is only 10 million. Think that might make a difference in their ability to help?
English
@DeKalb142046 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch Sure seems like real MAGA know exactly what’s going on…only globalists like Fleischer want to lose American Soldiers and spend Americas money for Israel. thehill.com/video-clips/57…
English
@ConnorL14631 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch MAGA does not agree. MAGA knows that Trump has been talking about taking out the mullahs since 1979. Unlike Bush, he's decisive and means to win even if people say bad things about him.
English
@DeKalb142046 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch I was told back in 2025 “Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News.” Were they lying then or are they lying now?
whitehouse.gov/releases/2025/…
English
@ConnorL14631 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch Are you so dim that you think an Iran with nukes would only threaten Israel? This is our war -and Europe's-- war too,
English
@DeKalb142046 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch Moreover it seems to me even MAGA agrees with me on that last point. It’s like Trump went to bed one night and woke up as George W. Bush.
English
@DeKalb142046 @AriFleischer @JonahDispatch The NATO countries who (unlike Israel) all came to OUR aid the one time Article V of NATO was invoked. Europe helps defend the United States in our wars. Israel drags us into theirs.
