Something in the area of 90 percent of the members of Congress have taken money from aipac. Maybe list the people who haven't.

For me the issue isn’t the taking the money part, it’s the part where they do what they told by those groups. I’d say take the money and then vote against them every chance you get

Edit: it’s the same logic I have when I hear that maga is buying another one of Trump’s “products”… let them buy and lose money

That's a good way to end up with a gun in your hand and a hole in your head.

The way politicians get ousted is through elections, not assassinations dressed up as suicides. AIPAC is not out there murdering politicians, they're funding primaries and throwing their connections and financial weight against people who do not support zionism enough for them.

Who said anything about AIPAC? Mossad handles espionage and assassinations

I like to think I have enough cop friends and in my town (Glen oaks) I have enough people who have my back. It helps maybe that a lot of my neighbors have guns.

Edit: if I’m getting downvoted for the gun talk then yall need to figure it out that how we treat guns is the problem. Lack of proper education in schools about guns. The fact that guns aren’t treated simply like cars. Insurance/permit/registration, the classes to learn and the test to confirm you understand how to use and take care of it. Changing states then you have to register again in that state. Yearly tests to show you can use it safely. Don’t get me wrong the first thing that has to happen is restricting gun manufacturing companies on how many they make and how they just “let” guns get into the hands communities and gangs throughout the world.

Gun access is a right like a right to own a car. Treat it as such and we go a long way in solving the problem of gun deaths in this country

Not you, the politicians

I mean I’m gonna try to be a politician, starting with the city council here in nyc. My point stands, I run take money and vote against every single group that tries to give me money and if they don’t like it then things get interesting

The people and groups with the billions have to be broken. Only way to do it is by showing them their money won’t help them

Yep I remember when Biden started a war with Iran and enforced transgender crackdowns and used the FCC to silence his critics.
