Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

The popular and effective Democratic mayor of NYC, Zohran Mamdani, who pledged that he would order the NYPD to arrest ICC-indicted war criminal Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu under the legal principle of "universal jurisdiction" if the notorious international fugitive ever stepped foot into the Big Apple, is skipping the Israel Day parade on Sunday.

Why New Yorkers Voted for Zohran Mamdani
His Honor also declined a private audience with King Charles III when he visited NYC several weeks ago.

Rabbi Marc Schneier, president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, sniveled that it's just as well the popular mayor doesn't attend.

"We have too much self-respect and self-dignity to have this man bring a dark cloud to our parade," Schneier kvetched. "Do us a favor: Stay home. Stay [at] Gracie Mansion. We'll do just fine without you."

Disgraced ex-NYC Mayor Eric Adams, now an Albanian citizen, bleated that he will march in this year's parade, although this ripesuck has little to gain from the wealthy Israeli lobby as his political future is now as moribund as sexual predator Andrew "Judas Iscariot" Cuomo, a quisling who betrayed the Democratic Party of his father for a meager 30 pieces of silver by running as an independent against Zohran Mamdani.

Of course he's skipping it. He's an Islamic fanatic who wouldn't be caught dead in a parade with Jews.

What does the Israel Day parade have to do with Jews?

It's not a Jewish Day parade.

It's manipulation.

Preying on people's sympathy for Jewish people to help excuse the atrocities committed by Israelis.

Also.

Odd that you can be openly Islamophobic. Homophobic. Xenophobic. Transphobic. Just a straight up racist.

But Israel is sacred!

It's the one thing Americans have to respect.

Because..?

I don't like Islam or any other religion for that matter. The rest, you're talking out your ass, as usual. Give just one example. I'll wait, until eternity. I don't give a damn about Israel either. I admire them for standing up to the Muslim hordes trying to eliminate them.

No I'm not.

The problem is, you seem to think that comment was directed at you. When it wasn't.

I was saying, in general, freedom of speech allows people to say a lot of things without consequence from the government.

But Israel is sacred and can't be spoken ill of.

Also. Weird you don't like people who are Islamic. Do you think religion is what makes people evil or hateful?

I mean. I agree. Religion is poison. But I don't blanket blame billions of people for following a religion.

Just as there are horrible Christians Muslims and Jews.

There are wonderful Christians Muslims and Jews.

Same for other religious adherents.

#6 | POSTED BY ONETRUMPER

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's unexpected victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. While it is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, it has evolved in the United States into a massive celebration of Mexican-American culture, food, and heritage.

That's in the description I posted.

But at least it's based on something.

Israel Day is a day of solidarity with Israel.

It's not a celebration of Judaism.

Why should any American politician be required to show solidarity with another country?

Especially when Israel is currently an out of control, terrorist nation.

Does it not bother you at all how much control Netanyahu has over Trump and the Evangelical "Christian" portion of the Republican Party?

Any foreign money/influence that shows up in US elections or influence in laws being passes/not passed bothers me. The fact that US politicians have control over foreign aid and somehow that money shows back up as campaign contributions bothers me. And it's not just Israel. I've been completely open and honest about this for years.

And we're not going down the road of "it's just Republicans".

Talrico took Miram Adleson money knowing full well where it was coming from. Jamal Bowman and Cori Bush were primaried out for $25 million dollars by Israeli money in exchange for two new democrats - no one here bitched about that with the exception of maybe you. The list goes on and on. I have to vote on candidates put in front of me based on what I think will be the best outcome for my country, my family and myself. I can't control what the lobbyists in DC do to get those candidates on my ballot.

Paxton released a pedophile and was impeached by republicans.

Now you're just being dishonest. Paxton got a guilty plea out of a guy who was about to walk without even saying he was sorry to the family because a jury didn't convict him... Either you're being dishonest or you didn't read up on it. Even the boy's mother was satisfied that he didn't get to walk without a confession and an apology to the victim and the family. Try harder.

Christ, you're such a mess kid.

Political Context: Adelson, a major backer of Donald Trump and owner of Las Vegas Sands, primarily uses her PACs to support candidates who favor legalizing casino gambling in Texas, a policy Talarico supported

Reporting describes Texas Sands PAC as "the Texas-based political arm of the casino giant" with most of its resources coming from Miriam Adelson, and notes the PAC's objective of backing pro-gambling candidates and measures " a strategic push to legalize casino gambling in Texas that aligns with Adelson's business interests

Is that what we're doing, Mr. "Biden raped his daughter".

Seems like if the allegations were false. There'd be some legal action taken.

By the way. Your explanation for why Paxton was being "tarred and feathered" isn't great.

The jury wasn't going to convict the pedophile so the judge sentenced him to 60 days but Paxton released after 29 for a plea deal.

Seems like no conviction days wouldn't have been a 29 day plea deal had the pedophile not been white. Might have been a life sentence. Or worse.

Perhaps forcing him to admit he was a pedophile will result in vigilante justice.

We will see.

Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior."

Hoffman is the 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender.

A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He got out in 30 days.

This is MAGA's vision for the USA.
