"It sounds like you're upset with me, too, Anderson." Indeed, it did. But did Haley Stevens expect that, by switching her support from a Democrat to a Republican, she would receive the media's Liz Cheney Country Over Party award? If so, she was badly mistaken.

Leftmedia douchenozzles like this one know Abdul is bad for the country and may even cost the Democrats some useful idiots. He just can’t help himself once his knee starts jerking.
It's funny to watch lefties discover that in fact there's NO such thing as a principled lefty.
You have to be a decent and worthwhile human being to have principles. And that's pretty much impossible to accomplish on the Left, because the Left is only about obtaining and using political power, not actually making teh world a better place.
She was supported by AIPAC, Schumer, etc, and *LOST* the primary, in other words, she's another Israel firster.
I didn't see any "country over party' rhetoric from her. She missed a big chance.
Maybe she didn't go that route, because D's aren't as stupid as R's. The Democrat know that's all bullshit, and they want to know the *real* reason, she's turning their back on all her previous campaign rhetoric.
You'll notice that when Mittens swtiched from 2016 Never Trumper, we need to throw the election to Hillary cause "Country over Party", to 2018 "Yeah Trumps nots so bad" nobody said boo about it. That's because R's are dumb. They even gave him a Senate seat.
Precious example of how the media carries water for the Democrats - the no enemy to the left Democrats. Compare this to the fawning treatment Marjorie Greene received when she turned on Trump.
By abandoning El-Sayed less than 48 hours before Election Day, Stevens has reinforced the perception that her political loyalties lie more with the pro-Israel lobby’s foreign-policy priorities than with her state, her party, or her constituents. Critics have long pointed to the roughly $30 million in support from an AIPAC-affiliated super PAC during her primary campaign.
Stevens may try to dismiss the fallout as a “private decision,” but the political damage is anything but private. Her apparent capitulation has put her career in jeopardy, all for a moment of notoriety that has been widely ridiculed. And now, many are pointing fingers at her fiancée as the driving force behind the decision.
"He gets progressively" is the most underused sentence in American politics.
Republicrat, the uniparty admits its existence.
Steven’s had a great opportunity to say, “El-Sayed is an extremist. He is bad for the party and bad for the country!” Nothing more was necessary.
Of course Anderson is angry with her. She's committing heresy in violation of everything for which CNN stands.
Anderson is literally gaysplaining - to a woman - how the ratchet of bipartisanship is only ever supposed to move in one direction. Lol.
Her staff all quit, BTW, she should switch parties already. I was a Reagan Democrat and voted R since 1984, and am now a Trump Democrat, and after this election, I am done with voting.
Note the swift "Stevens is a tool of da JOOOOOS!" from our resident leftists and anti-semite trolls like Tim.
Funny, I thought that the Democrats were proud of having the support of Jews. Now they blame them, openly, like IEEE just did, for everything wrong.
What's the difference between todays Democrats and the National Socialists of 1933 again?

Turns out Haley Stevens is good for the democrats after all.
Of course he's peeved. Cooper is more invested in the success of the Democratic party than Haley Stevens is.
The Rebellion PAC ad referred to by Stevens was not produced by the El-Sayed campaign. It was not authorized by the El-Sayed campaign. The total amount of the digital ad spend associated with the ad was a whopping $5,000 in the context of an election where there has been over $100 million spent.
Stevens and the Israel lobby used the ad as a pretext for her endorsement. The irony is that they probably called more attention to the ad than it would have otherwise received.
Stevens' fiancé had already backed Rogers.
What is actually going on is that El-Sayed is winning the election and the Israel lobby and Republicans are desperate for him to lose. This is a desperate last minute gambit to try to change the dynamic of the race. The initial indications suggest that late deciding voters are breaking towards El-Sayed, which suggests that voters see the act for what it is.
Stevens' career is over but she's found a rich husband.
She seemed unable to answer a basic question.
We don't see the whole interview, but she comes across here as a stammering fool who didn't prepare one bit to explain herself.
As noted above -- universal condemnation of the endorsement from Democratic officials and members of Congress. Key members of Stevens' house staff resigned after this announcement.
This is not a division within the Democratic Party. This is the decision by a political opportunist to torch her relationship with a political party that had supported her, after she lost a party primary.
It should be noted that Stevens, a Christian evangelical, was recruited by the Israel lobby back in 2022 to primary a Jewish-American Democratic House member simply because the member had been critical of the Netanyahu government and had defended a Palestinian-American colleague. Unfortunately for the lobby, Stevens is very typical of the kind of low-rent, highly unethical opportunists who are willing to work with the lobby these days.
File under Realpolitik we don't like because only we're supposed to do realpolitik. Boo effing hoo.
Cooper's vagina is very dry today. Luckily there are pictures of strange penises on the internet to cheer him up.
As a Michigan voter, why would I want to elect a Hamas wanna-be supporter as my US senator?
Why would my progressive-liberal self think electing El-Sayed would be in my own best interest?
Why doe CNN's Cooper think El-Sayed will strive to protect his "gay father" household?
He believes they'll throw him off a tall building last.
Heh - Anderson self-identified as a loyal democrat hack.
Again.
Silly woman, you are only "lauded for your bravery" if you move in one direction.
Cooper is such a douche.
** she comes across here as a stammering fool who didn't prepare one bit to explain herself.**
That’s what happens when democrats no longer have a script written for them by the Party. If it ain’t rehearsed it ain’t delivered.
They're not labeling her a 'maverick'? I'm shocked!
If what she did wasn't important, you wouldn't see the fury that we're seeing.
"hy would I want to elect a Hamas wanna-be supporter as my US senator?"
Leaving aside the factuality of your statement, why would you base your vote for a US Senator on what is "best" for Israel, in your opinion.
We'll find out in a day and a half whether Stevens jumped onto or off of a sinking ship, and whether El Sayed's last-minute contributors are going to feel smug or stupid. Some people are going to be very surprised, including a lot who claim to know which way the votes are trending.
It's not even necessary to explain why she's not supporting him.
"This is not a division within the Democratic Party."
Sure. Half the country turned into communists overnight. It's far worse if Democrats are not divided.
Perhaps she is Israel first, but, to my mind, that is infinitely preferable to someone who is Hamas first. El Sayed is not just a clunker like Platner. Platner, leaving aside his occasional bouts of rapism and Nazi tattoos, had the deep tendon reflexes of an American. El Sayed, is personable and out going, but there's much about him that's occult and he's just not America first. It's surprising that just Stevens voices his misgivings. You would think that Cooper might have some reservations about the man.
"from our resident leftists and anti-semite trolls like Tim."
I guess that genocide supporters like yourself can only think in terms of genocide, and assume that I must believe that the solution to any disagreement is genocidal hatred, since you seem to. It's the only explanation I can think of. Every accusation is a confession.
CNN is now a 2 minute hate fest of the target of the day.
Jeezum Crow, Weevil, the Democrats are all in for Ukraine. I can't imagine why you would be upset. Those Patriot batteries we just sent to Israel because Trump got bamboozled into a stupid war will end up being sent to Kiev, along with lots of other weapons, maybe even Tomahawks.
Right now, you can't get promoted as a general without getting past a bunch of Israel supporting Senators, now it will be only those who are all in on Ukraine
Soviets demand ultimate loyalty.
Tim in Vermont is rage-fueled that we might finally topple the corrupt theocratic murderous women subjugating a-holes who rule Iran.
Gusty winds....
heh.
She's a viable burden. Abort.
I'm really pleased that she's supporting Rogers now. But, geez, she's weak under questioning. You notice that she didn't answer Cooper's straightforward questions - just gave a bunch of generality and diversion. In that, she acted and sounded just like Abdul.
Two literal Israel agents work on the Rodgers campaign.

We have lost the plot. Muslims are bad, mmmmmkay! Pay no attention to the foreign government that has infiltrated our political branches and focus all your hatred toward Muslims.
Nothing to see here.
The genocide supporters in America today are those who support Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran. Those are the groups who openly boast of wanting to kill every man, woman, and child among their enemies, the Jews, and try to do so whenever they get a chance. They also rape, mutilate, and torture their victims, and starve their hostages underground for months at a stretch, raping the woman, too. Anyone who thinks we should cut off military aid to Israel, especially totally defensive weapons like Iron Dome, or allow the mullahs to stay in power in Iran, supports these attempts at genocide.
It's only a day or two since I linked to a Tweet pointing out that those who died in Gaza were less than 2% of the women, 6% of the men, and 100% of the Hamas generals who planned the October 7th massacres. The Tweeter suggested that what Israel has done is therefore not genocide but "generalocide", and he's right.
Note the swift "Stevens is a tool of da JOOOOOS!" from our resident leftists and anti-semite trolls like Tim.
Yes. Of course, criticism of genocide is hatred of "Joooos" just like opposition to abortion is hatred of women.
These arguments don't work anymore you fucking retard. What's next? "Say her name, Ashli Babbit?"😅 Retards.
Stealing the lamest plays from the progressive playbook.

You are literally describing both sides.
let's be CLEAR..
you are REQUIRED, by LAW, to support the Democrat Party.
WhenEver
WhereEver
All within the party, nothing outside the party, nothing against the party
The Democrat Party is your GOD.. OBEY!
(of course, Now the Democrat Party is the party of the DSA..
and in another year it will be the Party of ISLAM..
None The Less... OBEY!!!)
serious question:
How Long?
how long before people rip the "coexist" bumper stickers off their cars?
or, will they just X out the star of david (and the cross)
fun note! the star of david has been "X'd out" the entire time.
that is: the star of david was the X in coexist.
Democrats are murderous thugs, that want to kill jews (and christians)..
which is WHY rcola is a member.. Right RC?
Anderson Cooper actually looks like a used condom.
Bet you wont be able to unsee that one.
You can fairly argue that Israel's response has been disproportionate and may, in the long run, create more enemies than it kills. You cannot, however, argue that it is "genocidal". Saddam and Assad killed people under their control at a far greater rate than anything that's happened in Gaza.......I explicitly ask DD Driver why Assad and Saddam were described as tyrannial but never as genocidal.
I am NOT "literally describing both sides". Israel does not keep hostages: Muslims in Israeli jails are there for killing, or trying to kill, Israelis, often women and children, not for attending a music festival too close to the border.
And Israelis protect women and children and old people in bomb shelters when the missiles and drones are falling, while Hamas and Hezbollah build tunnels for themselves, and lock out the women and children and old people.
Note: 20-30 years ago Palestinians were complaining that Israeli soldiers don't rape Palestinian women, and accusing them of thinking Arab women are ugly. It didn't seem to occur to them that not raping women might be a matter of common decency and military discipline.
Anybody read the NYT exposé of the use of rape and sexual assault on Palestinian prisoners by the IDF?
Anyway, is this Jewish actress who doesn't realize she is live on the air and speaks openly an antisemite?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NN9hah4B1mM
"srael does not keep hostages:"
There are thousands of Palestinians in Israeli prisons without charges.
Congress re-convenes Nov 9th. And the newly elected Congress is sworn in on Jan 3rd.
So Haley Stevens, former Democrat, now kicked out of her party and without affiliation as an apostate, will resume as Representative for her district. How many votes will there be between Nov and Jan? How will she be inclined to vote?
The thousands of Bund supporters who went to pro-Hitler rallies at Madison Square Garden later showed up at recruiting offices and went off to war for the American side. The Italian barber who had a Mussolini poster in his shop, also later did his part for the war effort.......A lot of Americans have divided loyalties but in the end they come down on the side of America. Honestly, I just don't have the same confidence in El Sayed. It's not a complicated moral decision whether or not to be more in favor of Israel than Hamas.
Hasn't the "NYT exposé" been shown to be propagandistic bullshit, based on anonymous sources who may or may not even be ex-soldiers? And haven't the few genuine cases of sexual abuse of prisoners been prosecuted and the abusers jailed? Has any resident of Gaza ever so much as criticized the rapes and tortures on October 7th and other dates? Again, both sides are NOT the same.
As for being in prison without charges: Prisoners of war are generally not charged as criminals, and it's perfectly legal to keep them in prison until the end of hostilities. Are any Palestinians being kept in Israeli prisons without charges who were not caught in the act of making war on Israel, or committing terrorist acts against Israel?
This guy is part of the Israeli regime, newly elected, one minute in.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx_urMnmuaI
I will let him speak for himself.
"the few genuine cases of sexual abuse of prisoners been prosecuted and the abusers jailed? "
From Grok, you could have looked this up yourself:
****
What happened
In July 2024, a Palestinian detainee from Gaza was allegedly severely abused. He suffered injuries including broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a rectal tear that required surgery. Medical staff at the facility described the injuries as serious.
Leaked CCTV footage (aired by Israeli Channel 12) showed soldiers surrounding the detainee with riot shields, obscuring most of the action. Some reports and outlets described this as a gang rape or sexual assault involving a sharp object inserted near the rectum. The soldiers denied the allegations.
Nine soldiers were initially questioned. Five were later indicted (in early 2025) for aggravated/severe abuse and causing serious bodily harm. The formal charges focused on violence and the rectal injury rather than a standalone “rape” count in the military indictment, though the sexual nature of the alleged assault was widely reported.
Dropping of charges on procedural groundsIn March 2026, the new Military Advocate General (Maj. Gen. Itai Ofir) withdrew all charges against the five soldiers. The stated reasons included:
Complexity and limitations of the evidence (the video was not fully conclusive because shields blocked the view; there were differing accounts).
Exceptional circumstances that undermined a fair trial, including the improper leak of the footage by the previous Military Advocate General (Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi), who later resigned and faced investigation.
Procedural difficulties transferring investigative material from police.
The detainee’s release back to Gaza in October 2025 (as part of a hostage/ceasefire deal), making him unavailable to testify or be cross-examined.
Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, welcomed the decision and described the soldiers as “heroic.” Human rights groups criticized it as granting impunity for abuse of Palestinian detainees.This matches the elements in your question (IDF soldiers accused in connection with a gang-rape/sexual abuse allegation involving a prisoner/detainee, with charges dropped on procedural/fair-trial grounds). Broader reports of abuse (including sexual violence claims) at Sde Teiman and other facilities exist from human rights organizations and media, but this was the high-profile case with the leaked video, arrests, indictment, and later dismissal.
***
I like the part about how his mistreatment was "alleged" and yet he required surgery to repair his rectum.
When Jews can walk in Gaza as unmolested as Arabs are able to do in Israel, then and only then will we consider DDD’s hideous bothsidesism a possibility. Until then y’all are pissing into the wind with your anti-semitic propaganda.
Short answer: yer all wet.
And yet they were prosecuted, unlike any Hamas or Hezbollah rapist ever, and released (like many American criminals) because of prosecutorial misconduct, and the head prosecutor had to resign. Deeply disappointing, but again, nothing like the gleeful, openly celebrated rapes committed by Hamas.
Note also that I wrote "few" and you came up with one case. Again, the two sides are NOT the same.
How many Gaza music festivals were held for locals to show “support for Zion”? If any, how many were assaulted by air, ground and motorized hordes of murderers while calling for Peace? How many Gaza for Peace music fans were held for years under UN hospitals?
Yes. Not the same at all.

Just how much of a Nazi do you have to be to say in public that the only reason to oppose Islamic terrorists is because you're pro-israel?
9/11 ring any bells, shit for brains?
There are no good Islamic terrorists, anywhere in the world. They are all evil scum, and every decent human being is opposed to them.
Hamas, Hezbollah, the Mad mullahs of Iran, they are all enemies of America, and of Western civilization.
That is why you leftists love them, because you also hate Western civilization and the power it gave to ordinary people.
But it takes a Nazi level of Jew hatred to believe that "opposed to Hamas" == "tool of Israel"
Apparently, she was disinvited from an event with Abdul Al-Sayed so she went to the Rogers event instead. And we all know how vengeful some women can get after getting disinvited to events.

Yes. Of course, criticism of genocide is hatred of "Joooos" just like opposition to abortion is hatred of women.
"From the River to the Sea, Palestine shall be free" is a call for Genocide.
Opposition to Hamas is NOT genocide, if it was, every former "Palestinian" in Gaza would be dead, since Israel certainly had the power to accomplish that goal, and refused to do so.
Once again, DD is full of shit, and showing for him it really is "all about hating the Joooos"
Once again, it is so much fun watching the Progressive meltdown. They can't understand why a Jewish woman would want to bow down to an ideology that wants her dead.
Hmmm. "shit for brains" - interesting phrase, when you think about it. Shit is quite useful as a fertilizer, which is more than you can say for some of our commenters. Would having shit for brains make someone a really excellent chia pet, with an amazing head of green hair?
Former Rep. Hansen Clarke (D), who represented Michigan’s 13th congressional district, just came out in support of Mike Rogers over Abdul El Sayed.
"This is not a division within the Democratic Party."

Stevens endorsed a Trump endorsed Republican because of Israel. Its quite pathetic, since only a percentage of Michagan voters give a rip about Israel. She after the big Donor Cash.
You saw something similar in the UK. Where the Labour party tore itself apart over Corbyn's refusal to support Israel 100 percent. The average Labour voters were going "what the fuck?" and didn't understand why. But the Jewish dominated Big Donors got their way and Corbyn got the boot.
"Opposition to Hamas is NOT genocide, if it was, every former "Palestinian" in Gaza would be dead, since Israel certainly had the power to accomplish that goal, and refused to do so."

75,000 bodies recovered, do you really believe that every body has been recovered from that mess?
Judging by the polls, El Kabong will get elected, and once in the Senate will vote like everyone else, except for making a few noises about Netenyahu and Israeli excesses.
As usual, when it touches Israel and zionism we get the hysteria moved up to 11/10. Like Mandingo in NYC, this is much ado about nothing.
ai: Examples often cited in these discussions include:
• Switching to or Aligned with Democrats: When figures like Senator Arlen Specter switched from Republican to Democrat in 2009, or when lawmakers break party lines to vote with Democrats, supportive media coverage frequently frames the decision as putting "country over party."
• Switching to Republicans: When politicians switch from Democrat to Republican—such as New Jersey Representative Jeff Van Drew in 2019 or Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson in 2023—left-leaning or mainstream coverage often focuses on political opportunism, backlash from their original base, or the specific political pressures they faced.
Tucker was a Trump insider up until Trump sold out on Epstein and Israel, now he has been denounced, like, you know, they used to do the Soviet Union. Well, plug your ears, even though Tucker has been in the room with Trump many times.
When Tucker was kicked out of MAGA, well, that was only one person, right? Tucker has a bigger audience than ever he did on Fox, where he had to keep his mouth shut on a lot of issues.
Here's what Pelosi just said about Stevens endorsing the Republican:
"Haley Stevens has chosen to dangerously betray Michigan families’ healthcare, freedoms and future with her horrific endorsement of Mike Rogers," she wrote on X.
"@AbdulElSayed must win — because Michigan and our country deserve better," she added.
When did any Establishment Republican attack the Never-Trumpers in 2016? Nope, it was just fine to have President Hillary. No big whoop.
Better to let you hard core die harders talk. This will be decided tomorrow.
79 comments ahead, but gotta add -- that was DELICIOUS!! Anderson Cooper steaming, interrupting, mad as hellacious delicious!!!

Anonymous sources = unconfirmed rumors.
It's tabloid territory.

"75,000 bodies recovered, do you really believe that every body has been recovered from that mess?"
One hopes there are more. As there is no such thing as an "innocent Gazan," I hope the earth is salted with their bones. These are the people who gleefully participated in the rape, mutilation, torture, murder and captivity of hostages taken in war. Hiroshima or Dresden are appropriate examples of appropriate response. Israel has been too extraordinarily lenient.
It appears that anti-semitism is now very firmly rooted in the minds of the Althouse lefties. Of course, there is the execrable RCO to represent the Right, as a notable exception.
“When Tucker was kicked out of MAGA ..”
Make America Great Again is not an organization; you can’t be “kicked out.” You can, however, choose to believe that America is not, and should never again be great, and quietly — or in Tucker’s case noisily — depart. Your own attitude towards the United States is duly noted.
There is no coalition that can include both the Jewish Democratic members of Temple Israel and supporters of the Hezbollah terrorist who tried to murder their preschool children. Abdul El-Sayed made a decision about who he wanted in his tent.
Note for the "I don't hate Jews, I just hate Israel" crowd: "Temple Israel" was a pre-school in America. This is about "murdering Jews", not about "anti-genocide"
The idea that it’s “selfish” to vote the way you want to vote is un-American as can be. We all vote the way we want to vote. It’s our sacred right and duty. What we’re seeing in real time is the party trying to coerce her to vote the way it wants her to vote.
Her selfish move was to try to please the party. Instead she elected to sacrifice her future to follow her conscience. She’s an American hero. Her endorsement might hurt the party. But what really might hurt them is their ugly coercion and arm-twisting. “Right to choose as long as you choose us!”
They will blame her. But the ugly 2024 Democrat primary moves is on repeat in 2026.

There are millions of Gaza's, you innumerate piece of shit.
Gaza started a war with Israel by deliberately attacking civilians. If Israel HAD responded by killing every single "Palestinian" in Gaza until they unconditionally surrendered, they just would have been following the well worn, and entirely correct, US policy of WWII.
Instead they did their best not to kill the "civilians" that Hamas hid behind like eat cowards they are.
Let us know when there are 3 million dead Palestinians in Gaza. THAT would be genocide.
75k dead, most of them Hamas "fighters"? That's war, moron. if you don't want it, don't start it
Cooper is a Vanderbilt. He's used to American politicians deferring to elites like him who win narrative wars for them. Lol.
"One hopes there are more. As there is no such thing as an "innocent Gazan," I hope the earth is salted with their bones. "
Spoken like a true Israeli. There's not much difference between Himmler and Netenyahu at this point.
Greg (12:05pm):
Since you mention the Temple Israel terrorist attack, which only failed because the car driven into the school was almost as wide as the hallway, and the driver had trouble getting out of it (should have driven a Morris Minor):
Someone on Twitter wittily replied to AES's complaints about Haley Stevens' betrayal with the words he used about Temple Israel: "Hurt people hurt people." As in, maybe you shouldn't have insulted and belittled her right before an election if you wanted to keep her support.
For those complaining that she didn't speak all that eloquently about her endorsement of Rogers: she is undoubtedly feeling quite conflicted about being forced by her conscience to do something she didn't really want to do, and knew would get her a lot of hatred from former friends. (Probably death threats, too, but who doesn't get those these days? I've gotten them from students while teaching high school.)
...Cooper needs to rage quit...
I’m not gonna bother to watch the clip. Did she shut him up by asking he thinks he can bully her because she’s a woman and he’s a biological male? If not, she missed a great opportunity.

I’m not Jewish, much less Israeli. Heck, I’m not even circumcised. But I agree with Greg — if there’s a way to prevent future October 7ths without making it unbearably painful to the perpetrators and their supporters then that way has not been clearly elucidated.
I agree Stevens was inarticulate. But Cooper thought he was being clever by demanding to know what had changed over the previous day (since a conversation with Debbie Dingell where she evidently did not say she was going to endorse Rogers). She could have just said, "I had been thinking about this for weeks, and now with the election coming up I realized I needed to make a decision." But inarticulateness isn't a crime.
I just wonder if Cooper was ever similarly hostile in questioning Liz Cheney or other Republicans who have endorsed Democrats. I think I know the answer.
I see Nancy Pelosi has joined the. chorus heaping abuse on Stevens. May I assumption she’s already been fitted for her niqab?
Unless you're a a personal stake in the situation by being Israeli or a Jew, I dont see any reason why you'd support "wiping out" the Gazans or anyone else. Unless you were a pycho nut or a fake internet tough guy who likes to talk big.
That's what was so creepy about dear departed Miss Lindsey. How he relished talking about "Killing Ruskiees" and "Destroying those Goddamn Gazans". Of course, during J6 he was screeching at the Capital Hill police "You've got guns, use them!" before fleeing to the basement.
The democrats and Muslims both seem to have similar views on apostasy.
It must be because of da joooooosss!
One very big reason why Haley Stevens isn't getting any "Country over party" awards is because Haley Stevens, given a whole day to think about it, cannot come up with any remotely sensible explanation as to exactly HOW her decision puts "country over party."
There is no policy reason -- none -- that would explain it, because Stevens is on record in countlessly elaborate ways, absolutely flaming Mike Rogers' policy stances.
So fuck all of that. There's no good policy reason that explains Stevens.
Then there's the "hosility and hatred" argument. But that doesn't work very well. Rogers' campaign, in which he has drawn in Detroit's infamous Pastor Lorenzo Sewell (a completely insane Islamophobic Detroit nondenominational pastor vaguely associated with Fox news, who's done rallies with white supremacist Jake Lang) into his campaign apparatus as a "Faith Adviser."
Anderson Cooper gave her a chance to explain herself on CNN last night and she spontaneously cumbusted.
She's got nothing.

That is because your jooooo hatred is making you stupid.
Everyone in the Middle East hates Hamas and the Gazans. Other countries have killed more Palestinians than the Jews.
But you hate the jooooosss so you pretend to not understand simple things.
Hamas and everyone that supports them needs to be killed publicly and brutally. They purposefully and deliberately get children killed so that joooo haters like you will support them.
There have never been a more degenerate group of people than Hamas and the people who vote for them. Their tribe must be destroyed and the women and children disbursed to surrounding tribes.
Jeff Childers pointed out that although the polls had El-Sayed up by 13% in the primary, he ended up winning over Stevens by less than 1%.
Food for thought.
I agree that Stevens could do a better job explaining herself. "I'm just one voter" sounds pretty silly coming from the sitting Democrat representative.
But the panic posts from our Life Long Republican from Michigan are priceless.
By the way; this was a 16-minute interview between Cooper and Stevens. This clip is just a fraction of that.
A tidy little "Fuck you" to Byron York, Overton News and the Althouse blog for not offering the entire segment. I don't think that any of it, no matter how narrow the clip, serves Haley Stevens. It was a dumpster fire from start to finish. But still, I think it merited a full posting.

So, the question is: Who will MAGA blame on Wednesday?
MAGA insists that Trump deserves credit for every Republican victory. They'll have a considerably harder time explaining why he bears no responsibility for a Republican defeat. After all, his name, face and personality have become virtually synonymous with the Republican Party.
Finding out that Democrats are vicious POSs.
"You mean all that Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya stuff wasn't sincere?"
No Israeli seriously supports "wiping out" the Gazans, even if some say so when angry. All Gazans who are able to express their opinions support wiping out Israel, men, women, and children, and don't mind raping and torturing them while they're at it. (At least one Gazan filmed himself on October 7th raping a woman, shooting her in the head in mid-act, and continuing to screw her still-warm corpse until he was satisfied.) Hamas murders any Gazan who publicly expresses doubts about Hamas' program, or about their right to rule forever without elections. They've killed, tortured, and raped hundreds of their fellow Gazans, and are widely hated even by those who share their goal of obliterating Israel.
As for Lindsey Graham, he supported killing the Russians who, very much like Hamas, are killing, raping, torturing, and mutilating civilians in Ukraine - also stealing their toilets, burning Ukrainian-language books, and beating anyone heard speaking Ukrainian. Just in the last 24 hours, they hit a school being used to distribute aid with 9 bombs/drones/missiles (I forget which), killing 28 civilians so far (there are more buried in the rubble), including 2 firemen and 4 policemen with their usual "double-tap". People who do that very much deserve to die before their time, and violently.
I don't believe Graham ever proposed anything resembling genocide in either country.
IEE believe the polls, even after seeing how utterly they failed in the primaries, in the Israeli election, and (if you believe Lula won fair and square) in the Brazilian election.
Or he pretends to believe the polls, hoping to discourage any MAGA readers from going to the polls tomorrow.
As usual, with some people it's hard to tell where the stupid ends and the dishonest begins. They do tend to overlap.

That's quite a talent: dismissing an entire forecasting model based on unrelated elections, while simultaneously assigning it the power to suppress Republican turnout. The polls apparently have more influence than accuracy.
Stevens isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but she’s smart enough to back away from a true POS, Abdul El- Sadboi, runt cu*t.
"The polls apparently have more influence than accuracy." Well, duh! That's what they're used for. Has IEE already forgotten that four different pollsters have closed up shop just this year, admitting to have falsified their numbers, or pretending that they were just sociological experiments, though they had claimed to be pollsters?
…Democrats see turncoats as real threats. Those of us who suspect a deal was cut to fund Iran and the illegals believe the left demanded Tulsi’s head as part of the deal…
Symbols
The most common version of the design spells out the word "COEXIST" using major religious and secular emblems:
• C: Islamic Crescent Moon and Star
• O: Peace Sign or a Buddhist Dharma Wheel
• E: Hindu Om Symbol, a combination of Male/Female gender signs, or an E=mc² scientific exponent
• X: Jewish Star of David
• I: Pagan/Wiccan Pentacle or a Baha’i Star
• S: Taoist Yin-Yang Symbol
• T: Christian Cross
Fascinating. Polls are simultaneously too inaccurate to believe, too influential to ignore, and sufficiently threatening that Democrats must be using them to suppress MAGA turnout. That's quite a conspiracy to extract from a forecast.
Polls are in fact simultaneously all those things, and anyone who doesn't know that hasn't been paying attention. Calling simple facts a conspiracy is a favorite lefty tactic. We will of course find out how accurate they are in about a day and a quarter now.

The election result will determine how many other centrist Democrats Trump has to convince to switch parties or caucus with the Republicans because left wing extremists have become the power base of the Democrat party.

I'll get the actual results from more trustworthy sources, thank you. (Jaq was just assuring us that Netanyahu got fewer votes than Eisenkot, when he beat him by more than 4%, both party-to-party and coalition-to-coalition.)
And I have repeatedly emphasized that the elections are the only things that count. Why does IEE continue to repeat utter falsehoods? Too stupid to tell the difference, or too evil (or paid off) to tell the truth?
The only thing I'll be saying about the polls tomorrow evening is "Wow! They actually got two or three races right within the margin of error! Maybe they're not absolutely useless." And of course laughing at all the fools who are surprised when someone the polls assured them was going to lose actually wins, especially if s/he wins comfortably. I'm really looking forward to that.
“The sexual tension between them is so thick you could cut it with a knife ...”
🤔… 🫣… 😆
P.S. I should have said: I expect to see a lot of polling "upsets" tomorrow. Even the New York Times has been admitting lately that pollsters have been unable to find out what Republican voters think because they won't talk to pollsters. They're obviously laying out their excuses in advance for the kind of massive polling errors that we just saw in Israel. They know what's coming, and it's extremely unlikely to be a blue tsunami.
“Why does IEE continue to repeat utter falsehoods? Too stupid to tell the difference, or too evil (or paid off) to tell the truth?“

RideSpaceMountain (2:34pm):
Mocking people for the model of car they drive is not always fair. I'm the last person who would ever have bought a Prius, but I happily drive the one my mother gave me a week before she died. (She would have just left it to me in her will, but the registration was about to expire, and she was in no condition to leave the house and renew it. Fortunately it was old enough not to trigger the gift tax.)
The main reason I would never have bought one, besides not wanting to be associated with other Prius drivers, is the price. Someone once calculated that a Prius is only a good deal if the price of gas is over $5 the whole time you own it, and that calculation was quite a few years ago, so the number is probably $7 or $8 now.
However, if someone else buys it and gives it to you, it's an excellent car. Good mileage, rarely breaks down, a hatchback that will fit all but 4-5 pieces of furniture I own. What's not to like? (Other than having to come up with $5,000+ for a new main battery one of these days.)

And the sweet Jewish man puts a giant cross on the doors of the church to keep the Muslim Brotherhood locked inside.
I've had my say? What the fuck is lying IEE talking about? I have not given any predictions of who will win in any state, only doubted that the polls are the least bit accurate and suggested that they are probably overstating, possibly grossly overstating, Democratic chances. I've even suggested here that we would be better off without any polling, and should just "let the voters have their say". Duh! One more time, IEE: bugger off to Blue Sky and leave us alone. Your comments are far too numerous, far too low quality, and far too dishonest. Your presence here is what a businessman might call a value-subtracted proposition.

RCOCEAN II said...
Unless you're a a personal stake in the situation by being Israeli or a Jew, I dont see any reason why you'd support "wiping out" the Gazans or anyone else.
Because I'm not a terrorist piece of shit.
The "Palestinians" deliberately wage war against civilians. Therefore the Israelis should deliberately wage war against THEIR "civilians".
And by "wage war", I mean "kill them by the hundreds of thousands until they unconditionally surrender."
Just as we did to the Germans and Japanese during WWII.
A "just war" is one where you do unto the enemy as they would do unto you if they had the power to do so. Combatants who deliberately target civilians should have their civilians targeted. See
Rape of Nanking
London Blitz
Oct 7
The Palestinians have NO legitimate claims, just as the German have no legitimate claims on the land they lost after starting and losing WWI and WWII.
What Israel should do is bomb them into submission, and re-bomb them ANY time they try to fight back.
That they're too stupid to do that is one of the best arguments against the intelligence of the Jews.
But there's NO argument for the Palestinians. They started a war for land, and lost. When that happens, you lose land. And when you do it repeatedly, you lose any right to any land at all.
I wonder why Tim and RC and the rest do not realize that Islamics like Gaza view the United States as the "Great Satan" and it's not because we support Israel. Islam has been at war with the United States since our founding. Hence the US Marines fighting in Tripoli during Jefferson's admin against Muslims!
Why on earth do they pretend that Islam would leave us alone if we just told them to kill all the Jews like they want? They wouldn't leave us alone, any more than they are leaving the people of Europe alone... most Europeans are not friends of Israel at all, but Muslims still rape and murder and riot and claim they have the right to conquer them. And Muslims claim they have the right to conquer the United States too. So no, seeing a country that fights back against the evil cult known as Islam is gratifying, not "Islamophobia!"

Thank you for the clarification. So you've repeatedly told us the polls are worthless, Democratic prospects are overstated, and we should let the voters decide, but apparently none of that constitutes having your say. You’ve certainly spent a lot of words explaining otherwise.
Mason G. (3:37pm):
As I recall, at least one of the fake polls said that Abdul El Sayed was much more electable than Haley Stevens, i.e. more likely to beat Rogers in the general election, and helped him to his 1% victory in the primary. Would he have won without fraudulent polling? We'll never know, will we?
Lying IEE thinks him telling us that the polls predict a blue tsunami is somehow not having his say, but me expressing doubts about the polls and urging him to wait and see what happens is somehow having my say, as if that were a bad thing. Is he one of those many lefties who want everyone on the right to shut up while they spout their inane opinions unimpeded and unchallenged? Looks like it.
Will he address the question of whether El Sayed won the primary with the help of fraudulent polling? All signs point to no.
Anderson should get an Emmy for his performance of "CNN host who can't think of a reason to vote against El Sayed."
Saint Croix said...El-Sayed supporter from Iran is asked if she could dress like that in Iran.
I'm glad she was cuffed and led away. She's the kind of woman that Jaq and RC adore.
Welp, according to Sayed kids have access to porn so forcing penises into bathrooms is no big deal.
He is a Muslim.
He would kill a boy dressing like a girl and going into a girls bathroom in his community.
So now we ask why he is pushing this on the country.
The "Palestinians" deliberately wage war against civilians. Therefore the Israelis should deliberately wage war against THEIR "civilians".
No. My rabbi has spoken on this. The standard is, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That way, you put the bar higher than the bad behavior. You set the bar. We don't need to kill civilians. So we try to avoid it.
If you simply replicate the bad behavior ("you raped my wife so now I'm going to rape your wife"), you are letting the rapist set the standard for your behavior. You are following him. He is teaching you. Do you see the problem?
Anderson Cooper lost all credibility with his petulant desk-shitting episode.
Hamas viewed the rapes and kidnappings and murders as justified because of all the bad things that have happened in Gaza.
But all ordinary people see are the rapes and kidnappings and murders that Hamas did on October 7. Even if Hamas is right about the original claim ("you have committed crimes against our people and so now we commit similar crimes against your people"), their retribution is monstrous and people notice that.
A true prophet tries to improve people, not engage in mindless tit-for-tat. I am sure the people of Hamas have suffered in a variety of ways. I have no doubt of it. But it does not justify the war crimes they did. Period.
I meant "people of Gaza" not people of Hamas. The people of Gaza suffer from the assholes of Gaza, who are young men who expect to die soon.
That's quite a lot of indignation directed at someone who merely suggested we wait for the results. I promise, you don't have to win the argument before the voters have finished theirs.
Tone is getting rather... strident, I guess is the word. Why not just wait until the results roll in tomorrow evening?
Nobody is going to change their mind. Many have already voted. Nobody is going to change the result. It will be done, soon. Why not just get comfortable and wait? Why the strident arguments? Flop sweat?

Meanwhile IEEE's friends in Europe are literally trying to forcibly overthrow the government of Poland in a coup. Apparently with the help of armed German police/military. All because the people "voted the wrong way" i.e. not in favor of unlimited illegal immigration and muslim conquest of the country.
I'm sure IEEE will tell us how we need to let unelected leftists overthrow our government if we vote the wrong way, and Inga and imTay and Driver will join right in! Just like Brazil: arrest the loser of the election or just arrest the winner like in Poland. Correct? The modern leftist guide for "saving Democracy!"
Stupid lying fucker pretends that I haven't been encouraging everyone to wait for the results, while he tells us the polls show his side is going to sweep. He tells me I should do what I'm already doing, and he's not doing. Why does he turn everything upside-down and inside-out?

Strident, querulous and oddly juvenile. It’s difficult to understand how someone can be so insistent on being taken seriously while showing so little civility. A rather curious way to present oneself as the adult in the room.
Saint Croix (5:09pm):
If Hamas were only murdering, raping, torturing, and kidnapping Jews, they might be able to claim it was revenge for what Jews did to them. Of course, that would still be a lie: they were already massacring Jews in the 1920s and '30s, before Israel was founded. But it would be a lie with some plausibility for the historically ignorant.
But look what ISIS did to the Yazidis. They killed the men and old women, raped the younger women and kept them as slaves, and openly burned women in cages for being unwilling to have sex with them. And the Yazidis had never done anything to them except have a different religion. You don't have to mistreat Muslims in any way to have them do horrible things to you.

It's difficult to see why anyone who lies and lies and lies, was using far more vicious insults on me just yesterday (hint: bumpersticker), and totally misrepresents everything I and many others write expects me (or anyone) to respond with "Excuse me, good sir, I believe you may have made a slight error in your last argument, let me spell out where I think you went astray". He uses no civility towards others, and deserves none in return.
The commenter formerly known as "Rich" is quite evidently a troll who gets paid to post and gets paid additional if the posts generate responses. Ignore it.
I say this as a former prime sucker for the game.
If anyone is interested, there's a much more even-handed interview of Haley Stevens by Olivia Reingold in the Free Press. As a former campaign operative, my own take is that the ire expressed by Nancy Pelosi, Anderson Cooper, and other hard core Democrats is misplaced. When you have one of these unity events, both sides are expected to reach out. In the interview Stevens comes across as someone who stuck her hand out, and had it repeatedly slapped away by an arrogant prick. After a while she took stock, and did not like what she was looking at:
“God, I wanted to vote for him, but he just kind of said ‘Forget it,’ ” [Stevens] said about his perceived indifference to her coalition, which includes many—if not the majority—of Jewish voters.
And the rest of the story, we know.
Another Democrat, Karen Whitsett, pledges her support to Collins.
She's in the state house, so not a big name. I doubt very much the Democrats will punish her. The Jewish vote totals are pretty tiny. They're going after Haley hard to scare the money people. ("We can do this to you, too, and mess up your business and your life if you go against the party").
African-Americans don't have financial power in the Democrat party. They have voter power. If they don't vote for Talarico, he's out. If they don't vote for El-Sayed, no prayer. So no "public example" is going to be made on this woman. If black Democrats were appalled by this, they would speak out. I gather they're not appalled.
A joke (or maybe it's a Zen koan) a classmate told me in college 50+ years ago:
A man goes to the Circus and the Clown points at him in the crowd and says "Are you a horse?" ("No.") "Are you an ass?" ("No.") "Then you must be a horse's ass!" Everyone laughs, and the guy is humiliated, and decides he'll spend anything it takes to get his revenge. He signs up for an enormously expensive 10-month course in "How to deal with insults effectively" and passes with flying colors.
A year later, the Circus comes back to town, he sits in the same seat, and the same Clown picks on him again: "Are you a horse?" ("No.") "Are you an ass?" ("No.") "Then you must be a horse's ass!" Displaying everything he learned in his course, he stands up and says "FUCK YOU!".
Sometimes that is the correct response to people like the Clown - and some commenters here.
Dr Weevil at 5:40. Hamas infuriates me. My point is not to defend Hamas. My point was merely that we should not murder, kidnap, or rape innocent people, thereby mimicking Hamas.

In fact, let's recall that the RNC voted to censure Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger at one of their annual meetings. Ten different Wyoming county GOP committees censured her. The central committee of the Wyoming Republican Party also voted to censure Liz, and in a second vote declared that they would no longer recognize her as a Repubican.

Fair enough. I was responding to the popular idea that Israel started it, and the Palestinians are only responding in kind.
Dr. Weevil, cool
I'm embarrassed to say I thought Haley Stevens was Jewish. She's not.
Big Mike, thanks for that tip.
I was responding to the popular idea that Israel started it
That's not a popular idea. That's a media-generated idea, a bit of disgusting propaganda. If people believe it, it's because they believe in the media. Or their university professor. This is an idea that was bought by oil money and socialist politics. The vast majority of Americans were appalled by October 7. We saw it as an attack on innocents from out of the blue. I still see it that way. But I'm not in school getting indoctrinated by authorities. We're dealing with an anti-Semitism that was taught at university.
Most Americans still see October 7 as very similar to September 11.
"I'm embarrassed to say I thought Haley Stevens was Jewish. She's not."
She's not, but her fiance is Jewish, and she is reportedly contemplating conversion.
During the Michigan primaries this summer, Obama appeared with Stevens and touted the (minor) part she played as a member of Obama's Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry in 2009. I guess that endorsement didn't age well.
I thought she was going to speak out against Muslim Brotherhood and that interview went in a whole different direction. She sounds like a party-switcher.
Every time you think the left won't willingly dive even lower than whale shit, you're proven wrong.
Chuck has nothing to say about whether Republicans threw Murkowski out of the party after she endorsed a Democrat for governor. Republicans didn't. Chuck and his friends want to murder the woman that they call "worth less than a used condom." Chuck must be so, so proud of how Democrats treat women, right? just like how Democrats treat black people who don't vote the way Democrats tell them to. It's immediately Democrat party, circa 1857!
If you look at the RCP polls Rodgers has a problem. He rarely breaks 45-46 percent, which is what Republican Senate Candidates usually get in Michagan - even in a good year. Spencer Abraham was the Last R Senator elected - and that was in 1994. And he considered himself arab/lebonese.
The Gazans who desecrated Shani Louk’s corpse should have been executed by smothering them in a vat of pig shit. If they died quickly from Israeli gunfire or Israeli bombs, it’s better than they deserved.
Lisa Murkey should be thrown out for endorsing a Democrat for Governor. Instead Mitch the bitch McConnell gave her money, even after she was defeated in the R Primary. In fact, the Senate Republican pac gave Cornyn $100 million for his primary. $100 million that could have gone to elect Rodgers or win back GA.
The R party are Goddamn losers. Trump saved them. IF not for him we'd have 5 Leftists on the SCOTUS and Chief justice Kagan. Not to mention, open borders and amnesty. And..gasp... some sort of national health insurance.
Yeah, Stevens now has a Jewish Finacee. You gotta admire the Jewish team spirit. Someone is always willing to "take one for the team".
Haley Stevens is Jewish, but his name (confusingly) is Jason Turkish. And he's legally blind from birth, which I hesitated to mention, knowing what some of our resident antiSemites are likelly to do with the information.
BTW, what is it with mothers giving their daughters "male" names? There must be a zillion "ashleys" from Ashley wilks in GWTW. Not to mention the Ryans.
I thought "Haley" was one of those, but no, it seems that despite "Haley Barbour " the former RNC head, its a girls name. "Haley" means "Hay meadow".
At least it wasn't "apple".
While the Democrats are busy making an example of Haley Stevens, another Michigan Democrat followed her lead. State Representstive Karen Whitsett also endorsed Mike Rogers, explicitly rejecting El Sayed. This is significant because Whitsett is a black woman, and black females are the most reliable demographic component of the Party’s coalition.
Her fiancee is legally blind? Well, that explains it.
I'm sure she has a great personality.
By the way, "Finacee" for "fiancé" looks like a Freudian slip: some people can't think of Jews without attributing love of money to them. And he's her fiancé with one E, she's his fiancée with two (standard French masculine and feminine endings). Try not to use words you don't know how to spell, or distinguish from similar words. It makes you like like some kind of pseudo-intellectual.
