I got on the "metro train in New York City" at 7 p.m. the other night, and I had to shove myself into a crush-loaded 6 train and couldn't get a seat for the whole ride between Manhattan and Brooklyn. What huge big wet diaper babies these Republicans are, afraid of their own shadows.

Elad Simchayoff on twitter:
I interviewed two Israeli Air Force pilots who are part of the operation in Iran. When I asked what it felt like to enter Iranian airspace for the first time, one of them said:
“You find yourself thinking, what do these people, so far away from us, actually want from us? They have a huge and beautiful country. Right now full of snow and lakes. Truly a very, very beautiful place. What do they want from us, this small piece of land? It’s such a strange feeling.”
A surprising number of Israelis seem to have already forgotten that they're the ones who started the war.

For example, self-serving politicians will have you believe that crime rates are skyrocketing. But the reality is that crime is at its lowest since 1961 📉

Whatever our political differences, depicting political opponents as pests or vermin has a long and troubling history in propaganda.
