Almost every conservative that is "scared" of Fuentes only dislikes his antisemitism and fundamentally agrees with everything else he says about race. There is basically no difference between his content aside from the antisemitism compared to Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, most GOP electeds etc

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

What they said about Harris never was about being opposed to wars.
It was about being opposed to a woman commanding them and defending our allies and classical liberal values.
They never opposed following Donald Trump to commit plunder, rape, and murder for fun.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Just want to remind everyone that Mike Flynn told a crowd of rabid QAnon troglodytes in no uncertain terms that the military should conduct a coup in order to reinstall Trump as an unelected dictator, and he never once was subject to the penalties that the UCMJ demands for that sort of thing
