He is just trying to bait you my friend. He is trolling you hard. It’s his entertainment around here. Best to leave him alone, in my opinion.

First, you didn’t answer the question. Second, that’s all conservative hogwash. He did none of it, despite what your “news station” is telling you.
Nah. He’s just been too busy in a hot chat session with his buddy Vlad.

The US has been and is currently under attack by a hostile foreign power.
The US President refuses to do anything to defend the US against these attacks. In fact, the US President denies his own governments findings and warnings and evidence that the US is even under attack by a hostile foreign power. He actually blames Americans for the attacks.
Why is he not a traitor and committing treason?
Obama didn’t stop the attacks, so he must be the real traitor… lmao!
And I could call you names too.

Are you sure it is Spinach and not someone else like Duck?
In any case, the poster is doing nothing but trolling.
Duck is still posting as Duck. Mainly in the religious forum.
You think this whole thing is funny?
You mean like the Obama admin did with Isreal?
Using our tax money to influence a foreign election. Nope. Nothing wrong there. Completely (D)ifferent.
the juvenile ■■■■■■■ faction of the MAGA crowd is quite vocal.

Just bad in generic ways instead of actively seeking to sell out America’s long term health and reputation to a hostile foreign power for their personal benefit.
wiley8425:
The State Department paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers grants to an Israeli group that used the money to build a campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in last year’s Israeli parliamentary elections, a congressional investigation concluded Tuesday.
Some $350,000 was sent to OneVoice, ostensibly to support the group’s efforts to back Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement negotiations. But OneVoice used the money to build a voter database, train activists and hire a political consulting firm with ties to President Obama’s campaign — all of which set the stage for an anti-Netanyahu campaign, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in a bipartisan staff report.
Mr. Netanyahu survived the election, and the U.S. spending was not deemed illegal because the State Department never put any conditions on the money. Investigators also said OneVoice didn’t turn explicitly political until days after the grant period ended.
“The State Department ignored warnings signs and funded a politically active group in a politically sensitive environment with inadequate safeguards,” said Sen. Rob Portman, chairman of the investigative subcommittee. “It is completely unacceptable that U.S. taxpayer dollars were used to build a political campaign infrastructure that was deployed — immediately after the grant ended — against the leader of our closest ally in the Middle East. American resources should be used to help our allies in the region, not undermine them.”
Try again.
already refuted. if you’re not going to read what I posted then I can’t help you.
I did. What was refuted other than the dollar amount?
Also from your link:
Seems real solid.
Finally, the allegation that the money was spent to fund anti-Likud, anti-Netanyahu groups in Israel for the election is based on speculation. Yes, Obama sent money to OneVoice, a group that promoted a two-state solution. And yes that group partnered with a different group V15 that wanted Netanyahu defeated. But there is no paper trail that the money given to OneVoice was spent on an electoral ground game. It would be naive to ignore that OneVoice’s policy positions mesh well with V15’s voter mobilization, but that’s different from saying that American taxpayer dollars were spent by V15.
there’s been no new evidence to change the conclusion.
so I can only assume that the rightwing noise machine has dredged this up to what…justify trump throwing America under the bus and saying we’re just as bad, if not worse, than Russia? that’s a cool hill for you to die on.
