Note that she moved the goal posts from “They trust Jim Jordan” to “They trust Jim Jordan more than McCarthy”. That’s possible in the same way that I might say I trust Bernie Madoff to manage my retirement fund more than I would trust Donald Trump. ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > Note that she moved the goal posts from “They trust Jim Jordan” to “They trust Jim Jordan more than McCarthy”. Right, and that’s a different kind of trust to boot. You can trust that JJ will always say and do the wrong thing, whereas McCarthy might lie and pretend first. But this kind of “trust” doesn’t mean democrats are about to make deals with Jim. Also… I’m not a fan of Tapper but his a natural reaction to hearing that claim was priceless. ---

Is that stupid idea? It seems, based on having not even heard of him until just now\*, he’s genuinely showing his support for Israel, right? \*Or so I thought, google is telling me I’ve already been to his wiki page. ---

He did. As long as you’re willing to spending a month in a volunteer position being a member. From a 2016 article: > **[Pro-Israel US Army vet runs for Congress — on prosthetic legs](https://www.timesofisrael.com/pro-israel-us-army-vet-runs-for-congress-on-prosthetic-legs/)** > > After recently volunteering with the IDF, Republican Brian Mast touts his support for the Jewish state on the Florida campaign trail > …while volunteering with the Israel Defense Forces in January 2015. He was stationed that month at a base at Tel Hashomer outside Tel Aviv, where he packed medical kits and moved supplies around, including some heavy lifting. > “After Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza in the summer of 2014, I wanted to show my support for Israel in a tangible way. Whenever I show support, I do it with the work of my hands and not just with posts on Facebook,” Mast told The Times of Israel in a recent phone interview. ---
