Any dollar to anyone is influence. You can’t cry about Trump when the people you support are bought off too. We aren’t the ones pretending there isn’t an exchange of money.

DeBoar, the only “evidence” I’ve ever seen of Tucker being influenced by Qatar was when he made a remark on stage in Doha that he would buy property in Qatar because no one had the right to tell him where he can and can not buy property; yet, no record of him actually buying property exists.

Could you provide more evidence that we’re missing?

Ron DeSantis, who I like for the most part, is horrible when it comes to the First Amendment and his anti-semitism speech laws.

Tucker and Massie can support people and still disagree with them at the same time; while you and the Trump lackeys aren’t capable of that. Anyone who goes off the reservation on a single issue is deemed an enemy of the Trump admin.

Don’t tell me about hypocrisy because I don’t carry water for anyone, and that includes Tucker and Massie.

While I don't think it applies to all Americans, that's an excellent summation of those in this thread who are down voting your objectively true post or braying "TDS!" at anyone who points out hypocrisy.

Thanks

I don’t “support” Tucker. But I like a lot of what he has to say. Some things he says are dumb. I think Candace is retarded.

I don’t need to shout TDS. It’s pretty simple, a dollar to anyone is taking money. They all do it. You guys continue to cry Miriam though. At a point everyone needs Miriam’s money to win an election via popular vote against the Dems act blue. DeSantis would’ve got the same 300 million or whatever it was that Trump got. Doesn’t mean Miriam or Bibi is calling every shot though like some claim and buy. Again Massie’s largest donor is Jewish, it’s straight hypocrisy, especially when the argument is moved to the amount.

Trump tries to cut spending. The corrupt legislature gets it reversed. If not then the judicial.

There will never be budget cuts

Where did you get "Forever!" from what I wrote? Do you agree that the gift has at least the appearance of trying to influence the President?

The airplane gift was actually supposed to go to Biden. I think it’s crazy you guys are still melting over this airplane.

Also, I just reread your reply and saw that Massie’s largest donor was a Jew. Why do I care that Jeff Yass, a libertarian Jew from New York, donated to Massie? He’s a strange mix of libertarian nationalism - both concepts I can get behind on.

Comparing Yass to Miriam is like comparing apples to oranges. Yass is an American who promotes libertarian principles; Miriam is a dual citizen who refused to answer the question of whether or not she’d support America over Israel and her late husband said his biggest regret was not serving in the IDF instead of serving in the US military.

Get out of here with your insane mental gymnastics.

Being Jewish doesn't mean supporting the influence of Israel over "our" government. Bernie Sanders is Jewish.

The irony and hypocrisy of this statement alone shows your ignorance and intent.

I'm not melting. I'm just comparing apples to apples. If you alleged that Owens and Carlson are influenced to support Qatar (despite ZERO evidence) then, by that standard, the jet would influence Trump.

Don't know where you get that the jet was supposed to go to Biden, but that would have also been a violation of the Emoluments Clause in my opinion.

The argument isn’t about whether one is Jewish you freaking muppet.

The argument is about foreign influence. Miriam is a dual citizen with questionable loyalty and is cozy with the government of Israel.

wish the govt would look into where all these large mosques are getting money to build. Doubt it's typical local parishioners growth like how Christian Churches grow.
