This is a fantastic idea, I’ve been thinking for ages we need our own way to call out “DINOs” constructively instead of just indulging in this endless cynicism about all Dems

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."

Ms Rachel

I can't tell from that, but I could honestly believe it after the "Full Israeli" bit. If you'll pull that on Britain, anything is up for grabs, I imagine.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.
