At the invitation of the Speaker of the Israeli Knesset, Elise Stefanik makes a partisan political speech today attacking the President of the U.S. and praising Donald Trump. Apparently, the current government of Israel thinks this is the smart way forward.

1. The swine

is hoping to be the defendant's choice for VP.

Recommended.

[JohnSJ]

2. My question is will the Genz vote for Biden?

[LuvLoogie]

25. Probably not. If they vote at all.

Liberty and Justice for All

makes a great bumper sticker.

3. I am old enough to remember Trump outrage when various Obama administration people

spoke to international conferences. They were called names, like traitor, for disagreeing with Trump policies. Remember all the talk about the Logan Act ... which was from the 1700 hundreds and not used for centuries. Not to mention, no Democrat was NEGOTIATING or even suggesting they were.

4. She is blatantly interfering with foreign policy.

[House of Roberts]

8. That's called a Logan Act violation.

She should be in jail, imho.

13. Can you cite a successful prosecution of the Logan Act in its 225 year history?

[House of Roberts]

14. Does it matter when the Putineer party regularly violate any law they disagree with?

The language of the law is clear. They would just appeal all the way to the SCROTUS, and Amy the Boney Carrot and the Fascist Five would let her off anyway.

[former9thward]

19. You are neglecting the last 225 years and focusing on the present.

The language of the law is not clear. Every DOJ in the last 225 years has thought the law to be unconstitutional. That is why there has never been a prosecution.

[PufPuf23]

18. The zero successful prosecution of the Logan Act in its 225 year history then is a failure of the legal profession.

If no successful prosecution where there should be a functional law covering Logan Act violations, then the existing law and legal system provides cover rather than solutions.

[former9thward]

20. The law is a violation of the First Amendment.

That is why there have been no prosecutions. And I don't want to see the First Amendment changed.

[PufPuf23]

22. Then take the Logan Act off the books.

Why is Logan Act ever mentioned?

If archaic, un-Constitutional, and unused, why is the Logan Act not repealed?

[former9thward]

23. Partisans of both parties like to mention the Logan Act whenever someone they don't like is in a foreign country

talking about U.S. policy. Professionals never mention it.

There are thousands of laws which are archaic, unconstitutional and unused on state and federal books. They don't get repealed because of inertia.

[FHRRK]

24. I can guarantee you one in the next five years if the Republicans win this election

but hey, go on with your bad ass purity.

[former9thward]

28. Not going to happen.

I think you are trying to be the pure one here.

[Celerity]

29. Only 2 people have ever been indicted for violating the Act, one in 1802, the other in 1852. Neither were convicted.

5. revealing a stark degree of disfunction

(as well as purposeful animus) in both political systems.

Good news is - - - Joe Biden's position just became stronger in both countries.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[spanone]

6. Another sick fuck.

[GoCubsGo]

7. Elise loves to support indicted criminals.

It's a twofer here: Trump AND Nutandyahoo.

[David__77]

9. Shameful.

[oasis]

10. Her sappy ass will disappear

soon after Dems take back the House.

[Prairie Gates]

11. Politics stops at the water's edge when some news shitheel is trying to gin up outrage

against Democrats.

Republicans can go overseas and make partisan speeches as they see fit, of course.

Clown show.

I'm sure we'll see Andrea Mitchell hyperventilating and sniffing about the indignity of it all and the break from august tradition. Hahahahaha. Just kidding.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

12. The GOP hates America

[DFW]

15. I'll bet the next Israeli government will declare her persona non grata

Too bad our own House of Representatives doesn't have a majority with the guts to do likewise.

[maxrandb]

16. Sorry, but "eff" Israel

This is a supposed FUCKING "allie" inviting a fucking Nazi supporting asspickle (and despite her stupid attacks on college presidents supposed antisemitism), SHE'S A NAZI SUPPORTING MAGAT, to attack the President and political party that has saved their asses time and time again.

This would be like Churchill inviting an American Nazi party leader to attack FDR in the House of Commons in 1942.

Can't wait for the DU antisemitism police to support this shit.

[Ping Tung]

17. Bibi and Elise seem to have a lot in common.

21. According to OpenSecrets, Stefanik is the 18th highest recipient of Pro-Israel donations in 2024 election cycle.

26. Netanyahu and his government thumbing their noses at the US--and the huge amount of US aid they are getting.

I would definitely cut off the aid after this stunt.

[BoRaGard]

27. So unpatriotic
