Alas, she is an AIPAC recipient.

I think I just did this myself. And received much punishment from people doing the same in reverse. (Fitting my comments to a narrative of their choosing.) Live and learn.

Definitely emblematic. Along with crapping on the American people out exercising their right to assemble.

Thanks. I’ll pass on being nitpicked. Go bother someone else.

Apparently they get inspected for hateful tattoos. This one allegedly passed muster. Now that I’ve seen the actual image I don’t think it should have.

Nope. They found a weakness and blew it up. I still have PTSD from them character assassinating a terrific progressive candidate in my district.

No. I’m saying it’s dumb shit 20-something drunk marines do. But I am buying the argument that he should have had it removed before now.

Stop jumping to conclusions. AIPAC is absolutely not “Jewish people.” And I was only just able to see the image thanks to another poster.

Thanks for the image. It’s definitely ugly. After finding out more I am more doubtful but waiting to find out still more. If he’s Hegseth disguised as a progressive that would be bad. But that’s not clear.

He wouldn’t have known any of that.

As long as it’s not an AIPAC candidate.

He seems a tragic figure. Not that he was ever wonderful. But, seemed like a normal Republican, intelligent but wrong.

Several drunk marines in Croatia got a tattoo together by selecting an image off the wall display.

Thank you Jamelle. There is also the matter of what he stands for now and what he will do in the Senate. And having seen AIPAC destroy a progressive candidate I dearly loved, I am attuned to the possibility this is a hit job. Not the tattoo but amplifying it. The other candidates take AIPAC money.

The metaphor is so powerful. I take it personally.
