    I was soooo pizzed off the way the Dems, with minor reservations, threw Omar under the bus. She said nothing wrong, and nothing “anti-Semitic” in the slightest.

    Apparently, it’s now verbotten to be critical of lobbying groups, even lobbying groups for other countries. Well, certain countries, that is.

    OMG!! She said AIPAC has undue influence on American politicians!! Get the smelling salts and where’s my fainting couch!!

    Personally, I’d ban any lobbying group from DC that directly or indirectly sends money to any Congress critter, via bundling or any other means. No exceptions. Individual donations only, capped at $250. All bundling, of any kind, would be against the law.

    Want to influence law-makers? Write an Op-Ed. Use diplomatic channels with full transparency all citizens can see. But no backroom meetings. No closed-door meetings of any kind.

    The Dems should have stuck by Omar and told the GOP to fuck off.

    Forgot to add:

    The Dems also make a huge mistake — those who do this, rather — when they try to side with neocons who happen to be Never Trumpers too. Omar was correct in her condemnation of Abrams, the war criminal.

    Too bad the Dem leadership isn’t “woke” when it comes to economics, war and empire. The first political party that pushes a truly enlightened vision on all those fronts (including the culture wars) will own the future.

    It annoyed me that she apologized for using the language she used. I think the apology hurt her more than the criticism of her language.
