    To cash the check the GOP AIPAC gave her?

      FYI: AIPAC is now called United Democracy Project (UDP). Fucking bastards.

        What’s up with fascists taking up all the good names and symbols?

        (rhetorical question, I know the answer very well)

          Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make [thought crime] literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten…

          George Orwell, “1984” Part 1 Chapter 5

          For those that don’t know what the answer is.

      Is the idea they had been paying her all along? Or they just paid her to make this flip? Because if it’s the latter, I don’t see how they benefit from that. Which makes me think she really just did it out of spite.

        AIPAC apparently spent 9 million on campaign ads for her to avoid getting a Muslim in her seat. No idea if they’ve been “paying her” directly in any way.
