…st” during an Israeli television interview after 2017’s Unite the Right rally, recently ended a bitter years-long feud with Nick Fuentes to invite him on his livestream, where they expressed mutual disdain for Israel’s onslaught.

…lessings after the fact hardly seems synodal. Popes are not elected popularly and usually serve until they die. But some semblance of accountability, if not democracy, seems little to ask. Second, like it or not, in a world on the steroid known as social media and instantaneous reporting, only dictators and strongmen get away with top-down behavior.

First it Was an Insurrection Flag, Now Supreme Court Justice Alito is Caught Flying Another Far-Right Flag — An ‘Emblem for an Extensive Spiritual Warfare Campaign’

…s behavior during most of his public appearances where he performs a mightily embittered form of victimization. All in all, we’ve long known Sam Alito is as right-wing as the day is long. But I’d thought there might be some rules that even a Sam Alito wouldn’t dare break.

The New York Times did a bit better [emphasis mine]: At the end of his speech, Mr. Trump urged the religious crowd to vote in November, suggesting that if elected he would address their concerns sufficiently enough that they would no longer need to be politically active.
