It is a breathtaking demonstration of the opacity and impermeability of the conservative bubble that they think the comparison of responses to Kirk's and Reiner's respective murders redounds well upon them, to say nothing of their choice to lionize Kirk in life and death, rather than Reiner.

The right wanted acknowledgment that they did not celebrate a not normie liberal dying, someone who brought joy to all of us. But Trump could not let them have even this.
Also a reminder that Trump is a standard deviation more narcissistic than even his followers assume.

People got fired for literally just reposting Kirk's words after he died. Lots of people felt like he endangered them, or saw them as lesser humans. Reiner...simply did not do any of that.

Also, 4 Republicans voted nay (Cruz, Lee, Moran, and Paul) & 3 didn't vote (Daines, Hawley, & Moody). Meaning this bill absolutely could not have passed this stage without the support of the Democrats.

Good morning

Take a guess as to who's supporting this. I imagine you know the drill by now - it's all the usual suspects. It took them just weeks to abandon even the most basic anti-Zionist principles.

It seems that, for them, Zionists are fit to be a whole lot more than just the local dog catcher after all.
