To no one’s surprise, another Russian that had better chances to win American offices than its citizens after Citizens United.
He’s even a useful idiot! I think we have our next Republican chairman for the Intelligence committee. >

Dare we say 2024 >

Do not put this curse on us >

lol wait now that the oligarch is “jewish” maybe the far right will show some concern.
Nah, they’ll just say anyone who has issues with this are “tHe rEaL aNtI-sEMiTeS!!1!” >

Why the hell do they need to call out that he's a jew? >

Forward is centered around reporting issues of interest to American jews >

If they can't get rid of him, please make sure he sits on No committees.  Make him a house plant sitting in the corner! >

Revoke his voting privileges. >

That would work just as good. >

It was a Russian Jew-ish oligarch. Get it straight, forward.com >

Now we know why Santos said he’s Jew-ish, since pathological liars tend to take on the stories and backgrounds of people they’ve met. >

I wonder what would have to come out for the GOP to dump this guy. If he beat and robs mitch mcconnel in a hallway would that even get a raised eyebrow? >

Probably not, half of them would cheer him on. Now if he gave him a bad check, That would raise some eyebrows >

Folks, Forward is written by and for Jews. Stop being offended on our behalf when you can’t click the link and read the first few words on the page that opens. >

Is the Jewish part necessary? >

Consider the source and the target audience.
A community recognizing bad stuff within itself and calling it out is healthy. It reflects well upon that group.
I understand your feelings, but in this case authorship and intended audience are relevant.
Anyone with half a brain knows that the problem is "oligarch". You don't get into that much money by being a nice person. Human greed is universal. >

Right, but them being jewish has nothing to do with them being an Oligarch. 
It’s the exact kind of framing that validates and bolsters far right fascists.
Irresponsible. >

Then you should take it up with the authors and publishers. >

Look, I understand the context that it’s written by a jewish person. but let’s not pretend like it isn’t eye grabbing upon first reading the headline. 
Anyone familiar with the current state of politics should understand why attaching jewishness to wealth is questionable. >

It's a normal headline to me considering who wrote it and who the intended audience is. But then again, we are not a right wing fascists, so we can see it in context without injecting any bizarre stuff onto it. I understand your point.
If it was a more general publication, then of course the mention of Jewishness really serves no purpose.
I see it a lot like pinknews focusing on Santos' sexuality. To me that has little relevance, but to that community, it's a significant detail. >

Oligarch-ish? >

Who among us can say we don't have a cousin who's a Russian Jewish oligarch? We've all gone to the moon and cured cancer a few times, some of our mothers were granted sainthood while our fathers were geniuses in science. There may be the odd dark spot in our closets like each and every one of our uncles who pets cats in the wrong direction. Yes, we are all spy super model gay nympho twink porn stars with oligarch cousins who finance our moon missions and suchlike. >

Why does it matter if he is Jewish? Would we write Russian Catholic??? >

Jewish is a designation of both ethnicity and religion; it can be either and typically used to describe ethnicity when used in this context, e.g. Russian Chinese. >

I already know this as I am. >

Why mention he's Jewish? That's immaterial to the problem.
Edit; I've seen numerous reports about other Russian Oligarchs. 
They never say "Christian Russian Oligarch" or "atheist Russian Oligarch". >

On the contrary, the uncle could have a space laser. >

Front and Center with this one. Santos is the GOP. >

The worse part - this clown will soon have access to Top Secrets! >

Kremlin  needs a new source with Don becoming more useless. >

The GOP loves Santos, precisely because they have him by the balls. >

And Trump has a Russian wife whose family are oligarchs. Same thing. >

What’s the Jewish part got a damn thing to do about it ? Oh ya, hating on them Jews again. I want to see that same stunt with ‘Christian’ before it. 99% percent of headlines would include Christian/catholic since we all know who’s really f* shit up >

Why is the "Jewish" part making the headlines exactly? >

It’d be pretty dope if he was a Russian Spy. Like we’re living in crazy times. Couldn’t he be? >

He has millions of dollars to his name that are completely unaccounted for by legitimate revenue sources.
This seems entirely plausible. >


He has millions of dollars to his name

I have to admit it's hard to keep up with this guy, but does he actually have millions of dollars to his name or is he just full of shit? >

We know that he claimed to be brooked when he was running but he was able to give his campaign a $700,000.00 loan. That right there is only $3000,000.00 less of a million dollars. >

Thanks >

The fact he admits being a liar and a fraud makes him the most honest member of Congress. >

Trump 2.0 >

This dude is quite the conman.
