On a side note, Parscale was not a a career scammer. His transition to life post Trump certainly didn’t go well after having a starring role in Trump’s first run. It was quite a fall. Parscale had luckboxed into a Presidential campaign as someone with rudimentary social media and internet skills during the dinosaur compute age when most had even less game. Brad was like one of your child stars that ended up on drugs and got charged with rape when their sitcom was cancelled. Israel was a likely match for him now, I guess. Wouldn’t it be wild if he is on the Epstein list too? He’s a big goof
Parscale stole from the Trump campaign. He and his consulting firms received tens of millions of dollars from the 2020 Trump campaign and the RNC. Once that was exposed, he and Trump fell out.
It's a similar grift to what The Lincoln Project pulled against dumb libs who donated to them, but at least they stole from their own organization.
Two months later, he beat his wife and got in a standoff with police when they came over for a domestic violence call. He was put in a Florida mental hospital over this.
Suffice to say that he's not the type of conservative I would want in a leadership position in my party.
It's possible that the death of his premature twins in 2016 caused him to crack. People have cracked for worse reasons.
Regarding Qatar, I am not exactly sure why they have donated so much money. The assumption is that this allows them to influence campus policy. It might explain why colleges were so hesitant to crack down on blatant anti-Semitism for many months following 10/7/23. There's some reason that government is funneling so much money into US higher education.
It's just laughable when people complain about the minute amount of money donated by Israel, when Qatar dwarfs it.
Qatar has donated a lot of money directly to Hamas, and has sheltered its leaders.
It's a bit more complicated than that, though. Qatar had been sending $30m/month to Hamas, with the approval of Netanyahu and the US. The thought at the time, while stupid, was that this would "buy peace", and Hamas would stay in their own corner as long as the $$ kept flowing in to keep them happy. Instead, much of it was diverted to military buildup and the planning of 10/7, and this left Bibi and the US with egg on their faces.
Israel's bombing of Doha, Qatar last month was basically a "fuck you" to them for all of their Hamas support over the years, and what it ended up causing. Israel was going after Hamas leaders who were gathered there at the time, but the operation only killed one, and there was some collateral damage.
Israel didn't give a shit about angering Qatar over this, because they felt like Qatar had basically duped them for 11 years.
There are many, including me, who believe that Qatar was very aware that their money was being used by Hamas to fund terror, and were totally fine with it.
Qatar and Iran were the main foreign actors propping up the 10/7 attack and subsequent Hezbollah attacks which began a day later.
