'Jews will not replace us'

Earnest, who is white, wrote that he was willing to sacrifice his future “for the sake of my people.”

So he attacks a synagogue.

Why would the guest explain it and not the faux person? And don't they usually they announce that they have to go to a break. I'd like to get the full story on this.

It was a legitimate commercial break. They had me on again after the break.

Rubin even doubles down and keeps on criticising Trump.

REALLY hate to defend Fux Noose, but this looks like a case of Twitter starting a false fire to me.

Muslims suck, but we love MBS.

We love Jews, yet we support right wing Jew haters.

I need the ACA to survive, yet I’m willing to support Trump in killing it and me.

Oh boy, that is one hell of a cult. We have never seen that type of bad power in America. Is it at 40 % or something like that?

It's 90% commentary.
News would be local news, world news...but it's always interviews, debates, politics.

Newspapers used to have a section for this: editorial opinion and analysis.

Now these news stations are ALL editorial opinion and analysis, and then some "breaking news" which always turns into more opinion and analysis and how it relates to politics.
