      And remember that although the actress was 24, the character was ostensibly Borat’s 16-year-old daughter, which they told Giuliani before this scene.

          The borat actor did a movie where he trolls politicians from both sides. This was julliani thinking he was about to have sex.

          Berni Sanders was also trolled. Borat actor (Sasha Cohen?) Stayed in character and kept throwing nonsensical math at him. Berni said something like “that’s not how math works”. He tried to explain things but at some point was looking off camera for an explanation about why he was talking to an idiot (Sasha)

    Zohran Mamdani plans to do 9/11: Part 2 by giving terrorists access to the bus and train system free of charge and allowing far left antifa to live in rent controlled units with neighborhood public grocery stores.

    It’s racism from a septuagenarian that should be currently dying in a state prison.

    Whomever explains it shows the racism in the post.

    For those who don’t get the symbolism, because hes Muslim, they are being racist and saying hes the same as the 9/11 terrorists

    NY forgot Rudy Gouliani was still alive and was relevant once. Hopefully he’s dead soon and we can finally forget that spray on hair dripper.

      What’s so bizarre is that on the actual day of 9/11 he was pretty great at promoting stability and calm in the midst of chaos. I remember watching him and thinking, well, he’s doing pretty good for . . everything. Really. It’s hard to imagine.

      And then, slowly at first, then almost overnight he became the arrogant idiot fascist licking drunk we all wish was in prison.

        Mental capacity only declines after your 40’s. Rudy has had 20 years of decay and syphilis eating his brain away.

        The biggest contributor to the US downfall has been having such elderly representation, these dinosaurs barely know where they are much less what they’re voting on.

        They only know what their billionaire handlers tell them and their own families are more than happy to wheel their dying asses around to milk every last drop out of them.

        He was also the guy who moved the terrorism response center to right next to the towers despite the towers already having been the target of terrorism and against the advice of advisors.

    I’m not Republican but I can - technically - explain it without racism. The word Muslim can mean adherents of Islam and it can also mean a specific ethnic group from what used to be Yugoslavia. Being anti-Islam would make you anti-Muslim (the religion) but not anti-Muslim (the ethnic group) although most ethnic Muslims are also religious Muslims.

    The attack on the world trade center was carried out by an extremist Islamic group. If you subscribe to a broad scope of hate, then you would blame all Muslims (religion) for the attack. Zohran Mamdani is Muslim (religion) but not Muslim (ethnicity). If you hate him because of his religion, that by itself is not racism.

    I would except that a Venn diagram of people who hate Mamdani because of his religion and people who hate him for racist reasons is virtually a circle, but there is room for a non-racist explanation of this propaganda.

      drawing this differentiation while the same ppl who definitely arent racist against muslims claim criticism of israel is antisemitism is pointless tho

        That feels like a different but related topic.

        “I don’t hate this ethnic group, just the religion with which they are strongly associated.”

        and

        “You can’t hate that country, that’s the same as hating this ethnic group with which it is strongly associated.”

        sure do feel like the same idea. Hypocrisy is one of the most difficult beasts to slay within yourself. It doesn’t seem like racists are really worried about that, though. To start from a foundation of thinking one ethnic group is superior to another, you have to be comfortable accepting arguments from emotion. There’s no way to logic someone - even yourself - out of a position that they didn’t arrive at by logic in the first place.

    explain it without racism

    My dude you’re asking Republicans to never even open their mouths or type out a word ever again.

    Its like telling people to do math without numbers, letters or standard notations

    Buddy we forgot a long time ago. Trump pals around with the people who were actually responsible for it all the time, they gave him some stupid orb and his son in law billions of dollars. I guess that doesn’t matter though.

    Oh, this has nothing to do with racism. He just wanted to remind everyone in case they forgot. This is a well intentioned, pure hearted reminder. No racism here! I mean, you would have to be really stupid to think that all Muslims are terrorists, and he is not stupid! He is really smart actually! Maybe he should do the IQ test with Trump to show the world how smart he is!
