A dark day for Israel!
I'm pretty sure no one in Israel had a worse day today because of this. It's not exactly like she is committing or even inciting mass murder of Israelis. She didn't even make someone stub their toe or get a paper cut.

NYT: “Senate prepares to block wall emergency, setting up rebuke to Trump. The vote would force Mr. Trump to issue the first veto of his presidency, signaling that his grip on Republicans in Congress ma be slipping.”
his grip on Republicans may be slipping, right!

"donald trump has issued an executive order sentencing everyone who voted for hilary clinton to death. the nra is urging its members to form posses and kill everyone who is responsible for their persecution. 12 republican senators are believed to be considering opposing trump's order, dealing a major blow to party unity in a time of great strife and uncertainty for donald trump."

The only "grip" Trump has over Republicans in Congress is their fear of getting primaried out of office by his yahoo supporters. It certainly isn't his inspiring leadership, his shrewd maneuvering for their ultimate advantage, or his prowess at policy.

He is high on the one thing that truly stimulates or satisfies him: talking about himself in front of a crowd. Being able to talk on and on, fabulating both nonsense and bullshit while other people listen. If he tells stories about how great he is, and there are people listening, then he can pretend to himself that they are true, and even more, pretend that the other people believe the same thing.

if you view everything through the lens of 2020 all GOP lines of attack will be based around:

thats the modern conservative movement, folks.

yep, if you play those notes one after another, eventually you're going to gather up all of the base. for my father-in-law it's mostly d.) with a healthy dose of b.). for my sister's mother-in-law, it's almost all c.) with a smidgen of b.).
i still don't think a.). is much of a factor with many voters.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Tuesday, 5 March 2019 16:36 (five years ago) link
I think these four fall into two distinct categories: c) and d) are meant to inflame the base, but a) and b) have as much to do with pleasing lobbyists and large donors

I mean Trump's base by and large is not comprised of taxpayers vulberable to a proposed tax rate of 70%.

They could drop "socialism" and "Israel" from their rants and the base probably wouldn't blink
