Just to be clear, though: In his statement of resignation he made it clear he's still metaphorically sucking the Trump dick; he just hates Israel and thinks they're to blame for the war, not precious Dear Leader. (Who was, I guess... misled? He couldn't have just made a stupid decision, oh no)
His campaign ads here in Washington State back when he was running were very anti-woman, plus he went from Republican, to libertarian, to Democrat, to current, former Trump shitheel.
People like this... FAFO realization... is just their tough luck. No sympathy. No pity. No forgiveness.
Sorry, but to do what these people have done takes a really deeply toxic level of immorality. This is CORE to their being. A person who is innately good is revolted by MAGA. So yeah... this is you, Joe Kent. Find your own solace. You will not find it from non-MAGA. You've forsaken any hope of ever being trusted ever again.
One of the things that they rally around is that they generally all got rejected from better parts of society. That's why they're all ugly losers, no one wanted to play with them or date them or work with them and the Internet helped them all find each other.
"Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Kash Patel are scheduled to testify before lawmakers later this week about threats facing the U.S., an annual hearing that this year is likely to be taken up by questions about the Iran war and in particular the revelation that outdated intelligence likely led to the U.S. firing a missile that hit an elementary school in Iran and killed more than 165 people" just do some war crimes to distract from the other crimes...
"outdated intelligence." Would up-to-date intelligence have really mattered if the end result is still an unprovoked strike on Iranian soil? The justification matters not to me, the actions taken do.
A court will not be more lenient on you if you murder someone and say "well, I thought I had the right guy." You will be sent straight to prison.
"During his 2022 congressional campaign, Kent paid Graham Jorgensen, a member of the far-right military group the Proud Boys, for consulting work. He also worked closely with Joey Gibson, the founder of the Christian nationalist group Patriot Prayer, and attracted support from a variety of far-right figures."
I hate we live in a timeline where, when someone has an issue with Israel, we have to figure out if it's because they strongly disagree with Israel's insane and genocidal foreign policy or...nope, just another Neo-Nazi.
Usually, if they're vocal about THE PEOPLE, they're neo nazis - you can tell be how quickly they pull out Jews as a whole (see Marjorie Tailor Green) and vilify them on a national scale
If they're vocal about Israel being a shitty bunch of murdering psychopaths - it's usually someone who ISN'T a nazi because they're upset about Palestinians and other brown people being killed :P
mostly because isreal knows whats in the epstein files and has prove .. patel, bondi, schumer, all on the zionist payroll ... american oligarchs already paying millions to influence next elections .. and pedo don does EVERYTHING to stay out of prison
Shit. I hope he's not going back home, which is in my district, to run for Congress again. I voted against that shit stain 2x, and now I have to primary the person I voted for bc she voted to fund ICE. This is exhausting.
You can vote for Brent Hennrich at the primaries. Defunding ICE is his #1 priority, rather shift that funding to hire judges/clerks/etc to process the backed up applications for VISAs..after that, it's progressive policies, top being universal healthcare coverage. Vote your conscience.
I have a feeling that most of the population is the district, which is Vancouver, will not be voting for a person who votes for ICE if there is an option. I don't think that scenario you spelled out is likely this time around.
While I agree that Vancouver likely won't vote for her, as suggested by the massive lines of people with grievance that show up at the few townhall she has had, its the rural counties in the district that worry me. The district was reorganized so there is equal population of rural and urban. It is why Herrera Beutler kept winning even when she was unpopular in Vancouver.
He might have heard discussions about Trump/Israel staging a false flag operation in California and think to himself: I dont want to get blamed for that.
Dear lord. Could you imagine if they staged a serious false flag attack and bungled it bad enough that no one but the flavor-aid drinkers could believe it?
Uh, Joe Kent has ties to white nationalists with STRONG ties to Nick Futentes and did interviews prior to becoming the counterterrorism head to known Neo Nazis...

Well, the groypers are all jumping ship and declaring they won't vote for the midterms, so I guess that isn't surprising

That was the plan. My worry is that we are gonna to have swamped primary again and two Rs will move to the general because of all the split votes.
