    To be a sitting congressman and flying another countries flag outside your congressional office should embarass every republican.

    There’s this wonderful British expression for people who go on and on about how much they love the flag of their their country:

    “Flag shaggers”.

      Currently a rider in the NDAA would create a permanent military partnership between US and Israel. As it stands we have a temporary MOU. But now that the US association with Israel in unpopular with voters, our AIPAC owned officials want to be more clandestine in their obedience to their shadowy masters.

        If you’re being informal, I suppose one could use the expression “puppet”, but the technically correct expression for what the United States is for Israel is “vassal state”

    The right really seems determined to ban any flag other than their own approved list, huh.

    Reform UK (far right party) wants to ban public buildings from flying anything other than the Union Jack, apparently to stop flags like 🏳️‍🌈 or 🏳️‍⚧️ being flown during Pride Month, but I’m 100% sure that will go down like a lead balloon outside of England.

      Unfortunately Jesus was the wrong flavor Jew who preached against letting money dictate your actions, and as that was interfering with the business of the establishment jews he had to go.

        Bethlehem seems to fall within the West Bank, but google maps may be wrong.

            Other reply covered the origin, but as for contemporary usage:

            From a random AI slop blog I found

            Who is labeled a “Chud”?

            While the definition can be fluid depending on who is tweeting, the label is most commonly slapped onto individuals perceived as:

            • Alt-Right or Far-Right: Those holding extreme nationalist or reactionary views.
            • “Reactionaries”: People who actively oppose social progress or hold traditionalist views that the speaker finds repugnant.
            • The “Anti-Intellectual”: Someone who is viewed as confident in their ignorance, refusing to engage with facts or nuance.

            I could have just said bigots instead but whatevs

    Bit ironic to strip the timestamp but leave the “readers context”…
