“you’re admitting that the News Media is Bias against Conservative Views”
Actually, Fox News is seriously biased against Liberal Views, and Newsmax, OANN, and InfoWars are biased against anything that isn’t Far Right Conspiracy Theory.
“Jackk typical communist.”
You clearly went to an inferior yeshiva because they failed to teach you want communism actually is.
” So a typical public school grifter is more qualified?”
The former Grifter-In-Chief Donald Trump didn’t go to public schools.
DeVos’s entire qualifications were being a rich Trump supporter with a rich husband. *I* would have been more qualified.
“How long did it take to confirm Richard Grenell? Over a year.”
Another Trumpie lie. He was nominated in September and confirmed in April. And he did a terrible job, alienating a close US ally.
“DemonCrats admitting that they Stole the Presidential election”
Can’t you come up with anything original?
the Republican party can be destroyed for the next 4 years.”
Convicting Trump would be good for America and good for the Republican Party, but all but five of the Senate Republicans are so scared of the Cult Leader that they will walk over the cliff with him.
” when a white unarmed non-dangerous U.S. veteran woman engaged in non-violent trespassing in the Capitol building and was shot dead for the high crime of attempting to go through a broken window, the Democrats and the Left had no complaints over her being killed by a police officer.”
I have no complaints. She was killed while in the process of trying to lead a mob into a secure area in order to threaten the lives of elected officials. She had made a selfie just moments earlier expressing pride in what she was about to do. The real question is why you support her treason.
Yet another Trumpie lie. Mattis and Kelly were confirmed the same day Trump was sworn into office, and Haley 4 days later. All but one of Trump’s first set of nominees were confirmed within seven weeks. The exception was Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, who took 16 weeks, but that didn’t matter because the Trade Representative’s job is to promote international trade which Trump hates.
It is amazing how so many Trumpies think they can lie and not get caught.
“Is there an value to not pollute, to reduce waste, etc?”
“בל תשחית” is from the Torah.
“a political party that they associate with atheism”
That political party is now led by a mass-going religious Catholic. He went to mass yesterday.
“”mark a greater commitment and awareness in the fight against terrorism” in Syria and Iraq.””
Well even a rumor that Biden was going to increase US presence in Syria resulted in savage attacks by the Trump Cult against Biden — by people who were totally okay with Trump basically ending the US role in anti-terrorism actions in those countries, satisfying Iran.
What would become the Trump cult used to whine about Obama issuing a lot of executive orders. Never mind that he issued them at a lower rate than any President since Grover Cleveland. Trump issued executive orders at a faster rate than any President since Jimmy Carter. It is entirely appropriate for Biden to reverse some of those awful policies.
One of the new EOs was to rejoin the World Health Organization. Another was to finally get a systematic COVID-19 policy. Another requires mask wearing on federal property and by federal employees and contractors. Two return us to sane immigration standards. Another appointed acting leaders for dozens of federal agencies so that they can function while McConnell sits on his nominations.
Does the Trump Cult really have a problem with this?
“that would confirm the fear that Biden is just a puppet for the radical left”
If you got out of your bubble and actually read radical left social media and internet sites you would know that within two hours of his swearing in, the radical left was attacking Biden in language far more strident than they ever used to attack Trump.
I expected this but I figured that they would at least wait a day. They passionately hate Biden because they know that they have no real influence over him. That he completely froze them out of major appointments to his Administration has now made them as panicky and desparate as the Trump Cult. The truth is that there isn’t much difference between the radical left and the Trump Cult other than the lack of a single cult leader in the former. They both hate America and everything it stands for.
He will still try to do what is best for all of us, whether you are grateful or not.
“you can repeat the lie that trump supports neo-nazis”
That isn’t a lie. He really did support Paul Nehlen, a neo-Nazi, in a congressional primary in 2016 against Paul Ryan. You can deny it all you want but the facts make you the liar.
“fight “cancel culture” which is threatening to take down this country”
I strongly support cancel culture and every Jew should. Just yesterday I publicly called for the cancellation of David Duke, Tamika Mallory, Louis Farrakhan, and Linda Sarsour. If you disagree you might want to look at your priorities.
“We voted for the person who would implement the best policies.”
If 400,000 COVID-19 deaths and inciting an a violent coup attempt at the US capitol isn’t enough to convince you that Trump’s polices are catastrophic, I guess nothing will.
We forget that Trump endorsed neo-Nazi Paul Nehlen in his congressional primary challenge to Paul Ryan. That showed Trump’s real beliefs early on.
My prediction is that if Trump is not convicted in the impeachment trial he will seek the Republican nomination in 2024, easily win it, and lead the Republican Party to a blowout loss of historic proportions. I think McConnell knows this and wants Trump convicted.
“most Frum jews voted for Trump”
Most frum Jews in my neighborhood voted for Biden. The phrase most often heard in the same sentence with Trump’s name is “moral degenerate”. So I can’t help you there. We can’t understand why any frum Jew would ever dream of supporting a moral degenerate who praises and at times even endorses neo-Nazis. It makes us look like hypocrites and destroys any standing we have to discuss moral issues with the world at large. Evangelical Christianity is facing the same problem. Trump has made religious people into laughingstocks. And he is laughing all the way to the bank as to how he used us.
Can you answer why any religious person could ever support a rasha like Trump?
“why they believed that he would not become president”
I think former Senate Majority Leader McConnell said it yesterday: “The mob was fed lies.”
“Why do Jews not like biden, can someone please explain”
Most Jews voted for Biden. He is a mentsch and a religious person. He went to mass this morning before being sworn in. And he has appointed a lot of Jews to high positions in his Administration, including 3 of the 4 most important cabinet postions (State, Treasury, and Attorney General) and also Chief of Staff at the White House.
“The State of Israel badly messed up on the coronavirus, with the country suffering one of the highest rates.”
Not the state, the people. Or more precisely, people who think that the rules don’t apply to them. But in any case, the US has an even higher rate of COVID infection and death.
“In a normal country (compared to the US and Europe) the vaccines are available so easily”
There are no such countries. Even in Israel, only 1/3 of the population has been vaccinated.
“there are experts who say prioritizing minorities over older people will cost lives”
I just looked at the age specific death rates. Minority death rates at age 60 are siimlar to white death rates at age 80. That is a big difference and argues for vaccinating 60something minorities before 70something whites. .
“President Trump’s presidency will end on Wednesday at 11:59:59”
That is a fact, not a prediction.
Biden’s Michigan margin would have been over 200,000 had it not been for the legally cast mail in ballots that Trump had the USPS fail to deliver. Maybe more. This was not a close election.
” don’t ever use nazi termonology”
I have been hesitant to compare anything in the Trump Administration to Nazis, because Trump isn’t a Nazi. But Trump does at times praise neo-Nazis, and actually endorsed one in a Congressional primary in 2016. AFAIK not a single Trump supporter commenting here has ever objected to that Trump endorsement. More to the point here, Trump’s insistence on denying his election loss is in fact just like the Big Lie technique that the Nazis used and most Trump supporters here are all-in on that, even after his attempted coup. The coup attempt was more March On Rome than Beer Hall Putsch, but the Trump supporters have to stop being snowflakes and accept the level of criticism that is still far less vile than the stuff that they have subjected us liberals to for the entire Trump era, which will fortunately be over in less than 24 hours.
The Republicans have been trying to destroy the Postal Service for at least two decades. They want to replace it with private sector providers, even though the likely replacements (UPS, FedEx, Amazon) aren’t really interested in delivering first class mail, at least at anything approaching the cost of USPS mail. Before the Trump sabotage, USPS got a letter across the country in two days for 55 cents (39 cents for some business customers). FedEx will, too — for $24.30. So will UPS — for $17.70. Those who blast the government for being inefficient need to shut up. The fake accounting that the Republicans forced the USPS to adopt is like that of no government agency or private sector business and results in paper losses when the USPS is actually making money. USPS is still the most secure way to send anything, though, as none of the private carriers have their own equivalent of Registered Mail and a police force to enforce things the way the USPS does.
This predated Trump, but he also seized upon this to try to steal the election; his political hack appointee de-funded USPS even more, actually destroyed automated sorting equipment in order to slow mail down, and caused USPS to fail to deliver hundreds of thousands of legally cast ballots in Atlanta, Detroit, and Philadelphia.
Unfortunately I have pretty much had to stop using USPS because of the delays — service here in the Bronx has always been bad as even before the sabotage it would take longer for a letter to get across the Bronx than to California. And I too am seeing delays from out of town, although days rather than weeks.
“Don’t you agree that there is something wrong with that?”
No. Minorities experience much higher death rates, particularly if they are under 70.
Do you think that there is something wrong with prioritizing Ashkenazi Jews for Tay-Sachs screening?
Or white people for skin cancer screening?
” he hardly brought forth and sponsored any bills of major importance”
Liar. Schumer has sponsored 60 bills that got enacted, and about half were significant. McConnell has sponsored only 25 that got enacted, but none of them rename post offices, so they have similar productivity records.
The brazenness of people who spout easily debunked lies for partisan purposes is truly amazing.
“People are entitled to be wary with no long term knowledge. ”
The long term effects of COVID-19 are death and disability. Treatments aren’t very effective. I am glad you recovered but many have not been so blessed. Hopefully you have antibodies that will protect you from a repeat case.
The real uncertainly regarding long term effects of the vaccines are that we don’t know for how long the vaccines will provide protection. It could be lifelong, like the measles vaccine, or it could be necessary to be revaccinated every year, like influenza.
But I have been in this work for decades and I have not seen any medical treatment that has been shown to be so effective, with so few serious adverse events, ever in my career. If you question the vaccine’s safety or efficacy, then you basically should reject everything in evidence-based medicine.
“Especially since Democrats fight tooth and nail against even *investigating” it.”
Liar. The Pennsylvania Attorney General, a Democrat, found three cases of vote fraud in his state and is seeing that the culprits are prosecuted. It turned out that all three are Trump supporters.
It works.
It is necessary.
It is safe.
So say the results from two huge randomized clinical trials, one for the Pfizer/Biontech vaccine and one for the similar Moderna vaccine. Basically, if you don’t accept their results you should never ever waste your time going to see any doctor for anything because you do not believe in modern medical science, because there is basically nothing that the doctor can offer you for any condition that is as safe or as effective, other than some vaccines for other diseases.
I would highly recommend reading Robart Caro’s third of four volumes of his Lyndon Johnson biography, *Master of the Senate*. It shows how Johnson mastered the power of the Majority Leader in a way nobody had been able to before. You will also understand how Mitch McConnell destroyed much of the institution in his own desire for power.
“The rollout at the state level has been a disaster”
States have been getting mixed signals from the Trump Administration, which can’t or won’t reliably tell states what to expect. This ends Wednesday. 🙂
“all currencies in the world are based on very little underlying economic wealth”
Actually they are backed up by more economic wealth than the world has ever seen. In the US, $21 trillion or so. In the EU, about 14 trillion euros.
Gold reserves in the US are worth about $0.5 trillion. Returning to the gold standard woiuld result in a massive contraction of the economy because of the need to withdraw over 95% of the currency from circulation. Winston Churchill once said that the biggest mistake he ever made in his political career was returning the UK to the gold standard.
“not start up with the riot”
If the attitude of police is that they don’t want to protect lives and property that is an argument for de-funding police, something I have consistently opposed until now.
“they’ll be bailed out of jail”
Release on bail prior to trial is a right under common law and the US and State Constitutions. Sorry you hate our legal system so much.
“you have no idea what the circumstances”
I know a lot more about the circumstances than you do about the other cities you complain about. Like I said, it was walking distance from my house.
Arson and looting is wrong and should be prosecuted. But for the arson and looting that was near me (walking distance), videos showed NYPD officers standing by and doing nothing to stop it.
But there is a difference between simple criminal activity and the attempt to overthrow the US government by force, which is what happened on January 6. And the mob was incited by President Trump and its goals were supported by a majority of Republicans in the House of Representatives — and also by many commenters here, such as the people trying to deflect from their support of treason with whataboutism.
“you shouldn’t invest in crypto”
It isn’t clear to me that there is anything real to invest in, which would create halachic problems.
Cryptocurrency has been very helpful to money launderrers, drug kingpins, and terrorist organizations, though.
“it’s the first time Congress or any of the 3 branches of the national government was making public the Fraud?”
You aren’t connected to reality. And your rants make no sense. Please seek help.
“Charlie certainly ment that the thanks goes to Hashem helping the companies to create it.”
Biontech, Pfizer, and Moderna are HaShem’s instruments.
It wasn’t Trump who created the vaccines. Thank Moderna, Biontech, and Pfizer.
