    The quote in question in reference to AIPAC:

    Do not allow a foreign country, foreign agents, and another religion tell you about Charlie Kirk. And I hope a foreign country and foreign agents and another religion does not take over Christian Patriotic Turning Point USA.

    You were so close MTG , if you just dropped the Christian nationalist shit I’d agree with you. I guess this is the best you’re gonna get on the right, though, and most of the other right wingers are supporting Israel for other Christian anti-semetic reasons, so lesser of two evils, I guess

      We’re never going to see eye to eye with people so far on the right, but if we can work together to stop foreign governments from buying our politicians, that is a good thing.

        So Israel is buying your government with all the money your government gives them?

          Seems that way. They also buy a lot of bombs with that money, but yes, politicians too.

          Such a neat little system in how US politicians can pass bills to fund Israel and its genocide, funneling them billions in US taxpayer dollars every year, and then millions of that comes back to these same politicians as bribe money.

          It would be quite nice to outlaw foreign governments from doing this, and ban dark pac money as well to ensure it doesn’t happen by other means. Probably a pipe dream at this point, but would be nice.
