A mighty and a fearful head they are, As ever offered foul play in a state
-- Henry IV, Part 1 (Act 3, Scene 2)
Trump obviously has dual loyalties but Abdul doesn't?
Trump's loyalty to Putin has paved the way for people like Abdul on the other side.
Our politics is in shatters as a result.
Abdul is a missile aimed straight at U.S. support for Israel on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Why is the hopeful first Muslim senator against U.S. support for Israel?
Because he knows that a defenseless Israel is a vulnerable Israel. It's anti-semitism dressed up as Trump's phony America First malarkey.
As of October 11 the Jewish mayor of Lansing still hadn't endorsed Abdul.
Lansing’s mayor still mulling whether to endorse El-Sayed for Senate
Citing concerns about Israel, Lansing Mayor Andy Schor said he was still debating whether to back Abdul E-Sayed for U.S. Senate despite the two Democrats' private meeting on Friday.
... He pointed to two issues that he hopes to hear El-Sayed “expand upon" publicly.
One was El-Sayed's view on Israel’s right to exist, which El-Sayed has stopped short of embracing. The other was his position on U.S. military support to Israel to defend itself, which he emphatically opposes.
Schor said he didn’t know “yet” if he would endorse El-Sayed. ...
Andy McCarthy calls out Mad King Ludwig and his supine Congress
... “Putin’s war of aggression and hoped-for conquest against Ukraine, like his war of aggression and conquest in Georgia (swaths of which he has occupied for nearly two decades), is part of his quest to reconstitute America’s Soviet enemy,” McCarthy wrote. “And President Donald Trump is giving him aid and comfort.”
McCarthy added, “In a properly functioning republic, there would be immediate hearings about this week’s shocking escalation of the Trump–Putin alliance. Since the start of Trump’s second term, it has been excruciating to watch America’s president blame the victim, our ally Ukraine, for Putin’s war of aggression.”
... “This week, in lunatic public statements … the president again blamed Ukraine for the war and gratuitously insulted Zelensky,” McCarthy said.
... “If we … allow common sense to enter the equation, too many dark signs point in the direction of an American administration — at the very moment it was seeking Ukraine’s capitulation and threatening to leave it defenseless by denying intelligence — taking conscious action that left Ukraine exposed to an intense attack, which Russia just happens to have conducted right at the perfect time,” McCarthy wrote. “This is dark. It demands answers. Now.”

Hypocrite Elon Musk supported Ukraine in 2022, now he works with Trump to throttle its self-defense
Elon Musk and the Jackass he rode in on both need to go.

Who will be next week's White House press secretary?
This week's is already done.
Katie Zacharia out as Trump’s White House press secretary
... Zacharia lasted one-half of one Scaramucci. ...
As far as I'm concerned this is an unforgiveable moral stain on the GOP for which every Republican down the ticket deserves to lose in November for failing to speak out publicly against Trump
As if what happened to these two weren't enough.
U.S. Starlink curbs embolden Russia to intensify attacks on Ukraine, minister tells CNBC

Um, that's not in the Bible, Drudge, and not even in the news story
Good Samaritan kills 16-year-old shooter...
That right there is one hell of a badly mangled analogy.
Thought that one up himself, he did.

Trump is full of it, Emerson had Cornyn over Talarico by 2.8 in January, Paxton and Talarico tied
There hasn't been a poll since early August with Paxton ahead of Talarico.
Texas made a big mistake picking Paxton, but it's Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas.
Trump says ‘if Ken Paxton loses’ Texas Senate race, blame Cornyn and Karl Rove
So Katie Zacharia has a law degree but no law license and Abdul has a degree in medicine but no medical license
Glad we cleared that up.
