I agree with Goldilocks and Yserbius, and want to add that tevilah doesn’t work unless you toivel the whole thing, including the cord, at one time.
Is he coming out with a new one any time soon?
Do you deny that you wrote the following?
“if you are still pro-Trump you either don’t care about American Democracy or you are in the cult and believe whatever he does is automatically the best”
You clearly said that if you are pro Trump, you are either anti Democracy, or are a cultist who thinks he’s always right.
On top of that you change my words from refusing to recognize that his flaws make him unfit to be president to a claim I never made. Namely, you claim I said that pro-Trump think whatever he does is automatically true… No idea what that even means.
You did say that. Unless someone else logged into your account.
Yes, you are acting like Cultists. Your are desperately trying to uphold some vision of Trump and you ignore the flaws and problems with him. If you google “Cult” the third definition that pops up is, “a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.”
Sheker again. We don’t all ignore his flaws or excessively admire him, we just think he’s a very good president.
Yes, that is a very serious problem, that some in our community do excessively admire him, but don’t lump us all together. I’m personally disgusted by the whole maga hat and bumper sticker thing in our community.
Nevermind you are putting forth a strawman argument in that no one here, definitely not you, has offered a differing opinion about how he has had an effect on our democracy.
How is that a straw man argument?
This was the offensive comment which lumped all pro Trump people together:
At this point after all the attacks Trump has made on American Democracy if you are still pro-Trump you either don’t care about American Democracy or you are in the cult and believe whatever he does is automatically the best.
On the other thread, the comments basically did say that by definition a Trump supporter is a cultist and thinks Trump can do no wrong.
Here, on the other hand, she did not say or imply that every Democrat is a cheater, just that it’s been historically true that there have been Democrat cheating scandals in Chicago.
If you want to argue that Republicans also cheat, or cheat more, that’s fine, you’re entitled to state opposing opinions (and of course saying that would not mean that every single Republican is a cheater), but don’t insult people baselessly.
A forensic audit of one single machine in ware county, georgia revealed 37 votes flipped from biden to trump
Someone tweeted that. Is it true?
The thing with the Russian Hoax, is that it was not a hoax. There was well documented interference by Russia in the election in 2016 to help Trump.
Yeah, they made some social media posts.
The hoax was saying Trump was involved.
In any case, if memory serves it was Trump’s AG that appointed Mueller, not the Democrats. It was the GOP led Senate that issued a report on Russian interference in the election. This is not a Democrat led thing.
Yes, Rosenstein, but it most certainly was a Democrat led thing, namely Schiff and Pelosi.
And your true colors show once again.
Huh? This is known historical fact. And what do “true colors” mean? Is that some sort of insult? If it is, besides being ridiculous to respond to someone stating a known fact with an insult, it’s totally uncalled for to insult someone personally because if differing political opinions.
If it wasn’t intended as an insult, you’d better brush up on your communication skills, because it sure seemed like one.
You are correct here. Biden won fair and square.
One doesn’t follow from the other.
The truth is that Republicans exclusively steal elections through many forms of voter suppression.
and then:
If you believe Democrat’s cheat, don’t vote again ever. Do us all a favor.
Since you think the Republicans cheat, I assume that in the name of consistency, you don’t vote…
I doubt that you ascribe the correct motives to Trump and Giuliani, but I agree that it’s about time we address the weak election security they have.
Now let me guess – your source is Donald Trump.
“At about 5:30 a.m., a pipe burst inside a room housing ballots at State Farm Arena, which has been used by county officials to process absentee ballots since October 19.
No ballots were damaged, but the leak prevented workers from tallying ballots for about four hours, delaying the count of 30,000 absentee ballots, according to Fox5 Atlanta.”
Forbes
“Fulton Commission Chairman Robb Pitts told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday evening that the pipe burst at 6:07 a.m. and was repaired within two hours. The burst pipe wasn’t mentioned by county officials during a 10 a.m. press conference.”
AJC
Ubiquitin, you’re welcome.
Reb Eliezer, I don’t think so. I think the reason to continue to say ותן טל ומטר is based on him following the צבור in א”י since he is considered a בן א”י (see בה”ט and שערי תשובה).
this video comes along with sworn affidavits from poll watchers claiming they were told to leave because of a “pipe bust”, and the counting was supposed to stop.
The pipe burst at 6am, and they couldn’t count the absentee ballots. This video has a time stamp of 11:05 pm if I’m reading it correctly, so really doesn’t seem relevant to the burst pipe.
עד תפילת המנחה – ואם טעה במעריב ליל ראשון של פסח והתפלל תפלת ש”ע של חול ונזכר לאחר שהתחיל ברך עלינו שהדין הוא שצריך לסיים כל אותה ברכה כמש”כ בסימן רס”ח אינו אומר טל ומטר כיון שגם הצבור אינם אומרים. ואם חלה השאלה ביום שבת וטעה והתפלל של חול והתחיל ברך עלינו ג”כ אינו אומר טל ומטר כיון שהציבור עדיין לא התחילו והיחיד נגרר תמיד אחר הצבור [מ”א]:

קי”ז@daas-yochid If you’re asking me to name specific people, places, or organizations, sorry but you’re question will have to go unanswered.
No, of course that’s not what I was asking.
At this point after all the attacks Trump has made on American Democracy if you are still pro-Trump you either don’t care about American Democracy or you are in the cult and believe whatever he does is automatically the best.
Is TDS similar to being in a cult?
The fact that you can’t accept a differing opinion about how he has had an effect on our democracy is pretty closed-minded, and that you think anyone who is pro-Trump thinks whatever he does is automatically true is not even close to reality. Maybe we can define cult to include that since the definition seems to evolve with every post.
It is a verified fact
That the climate changes? Okay. What we need to do (if anything) and what will result from our actions or inactions is not fact, it’s theory or hypothesis.
Why you decide to reject these 99% of scientists but happily accept scientific consensus when it comes to medical care I have no idea.
The standards of acceptance are vastly different. For goodness sake, there’s a vaccine (actually multiple) which has been proven to be safe and effective but haven’t yet been approved yet, in the middle of a deadly pandemic, because it hasn’t yet reached their rigorous and strict standards for proof of safety and efficacy.
The cause and long term effects of climate change? Conjecture.
Really the only criteria to be in the cult is unwavering devotion to Trump and inability to recognize his flaws, or at least inability to recognize that his flaws are not good for a President to have.
If someone is pro-Trump but recognizes his flaws, are they a cultist?
The one who slammed the door on R Moshe’s hand?
There are very very few people who have such difficulty with masks that they cannot wear them. Those people should stay away from others.
I think the proof that it’s more common than you claim is that so many people are resistant.
Why should those who can’t wear masks stay away from other people? Maybe the more vulnerable people should stay away from others.
A single person being uncomfortable is a small price to pay to potentially protect others from a dangerous virus.
He’s married, but anyhow it’s more common than you think.
Well, obviously all those shuls, schools, and simchas that chose to go ahead with no changes due to COVID-19 and didn’t push for their members to wear masks.
You made it sound like you were railing against individuals who don’t wear masks. So you still didn’t answer my question.
Can we acknowledge that this is a conversation about wearing masks to protect others? A mask only offers a small protection from getting a virus. But it offers a huge protection to other people if the mask wearer would Chas v’Shalom be infected. That’s why we can only have these discussions if we agree that wearing a mask is for the benefit of others.
Yes, but can we also acknowledge that just saying it’s easy to wear a mask for long periods of time doesn’t make it true for many, and that nobody is forcing anyone to attend a shul or simcha where masks aren’t worn?
Are nanochips SO outrageous for you to believe?
Yes
Do you really believe that masks or Covid testing work?
Yes, yes, although not 100%
Does it make sense to close businesses, schools, arenas because of the ridiculous ‘crisis’ that were going through?
Not schools, yes arenas. I wouldn’t put “crisis” in scarequotes or refer to it as ridiculous.
Have you been sleeping through this year?
Halevai
It wasn’t psychological it was physical. And while that’s an extreme, it’s very uncomfortable for many.
I wear a mask when and where I need to.
Okay, I answered your question. Now will you answer mine?
But what about myhealth?
Oish oish @Yserbius123! This is the Klal Yisroel I know and love? Me, me me
I watched a room full of people, (including children as young as ten!) daven on Yom Kippur and wear a mask the entire ten hours they were in shul!
And I witnessed a guy leaving davening on Yom Kippur after a half hour because he couldn’t breathe. Almost called Hatzola.
Yserbius123
What situations/locations are you referring to?
If masks are required, I agree, everyone should wear masks. If you are uncomfortable in a mask, go somewhere where they are not required.
If masks are not required, then you can’t be upset at those not wearing them. If you think you are unsafe there, go somewhere else.
I also don’t agree with your assessment of how easy it is to wear a mask. Speak for yourself, but some people have told me that it’s unbearable for them.
I thought the CDC said masks don’t help
emes nisht sheker:
@Syag – Congrats on another insult post insinuating that everyone that supports Biden is somehow mean. As they say, if you live in a glass house don’t throw stones. Still waiting to see a comment from you on substance, rather than your consistent implications that those who supported Biden in this election are just somehow bad people.
That is absolutely sheker. She said and implied no such thing. She has an opinion, and you are entitled to disagree, but not entitled to completely misrepresent and then attack her for words you put in her mouth.
The song Ma Ahavti is a Skulener one
Nafshenu is a Skulener Nigun.
And you are comparing a phone call to 15 Rabbis from Trump’s assistant to a meaningless and powerless public remark ?
I wasn’t comparing anything. You’re the the one who made a comparison.
Charlie?
There are plenty of false positives too
What I do not understand is thanking Trump for calling religious institutions essential, when Avi Berkowitz, Special Assistant to the President, held a phone briefing with 15 rabbis in the beginning of March, explaining the need to shut down yeshivot and synagogues.
You’re comparing the beginning of March to the end of May…
The umas haolam did bad to us, so tbey also might need teshuva together with us
You didn’t answer the question
They approved Remdesivir after this study came out. Can you explain this please, Charlie Hall?
At After the endorsement letter from 11 rabonim, I have to accept the possibility of him winning.
I have to wonder why the sentence didn’t conclude, “I have to vote for him”.
At the time we reached the lowest level, we will need a melech kasha kehaman, not necessarily to the Jews
Haman was bad for the Jews. Why wouldn’t melech kashe k’Haman not likewise mean hard on the Jews?
DaasYochid – They do not have enough information to produce statistically valuable data
They have the data. And the frum neighborhoods are not necessarily the highest percentage of positive cases yet neighborhoods with higher numbers per 100k didn’t get shut down.
Daasyochid, because even though it has its limitations, it is a useful way to monitor trends.
So is number of infected per 100,000.
Thanks, Little Froggie.
Can someone explain to me why they use the percentage of positive tests rather than the percentage of people who are positive?
The ones quoted in the book, would never admit that they were trying to undermine Traditional Judaism.
And Rabbi Shapiro would never admit that he spread lashon hora
I think there is a difference. The author intended to write what he wrote. He wants to be portrayed as taking the position the OP ascribed to him. The same may not be true about those he wrote about. I can not say for sure. I have up on the book before he started the fun parts.
I don’t understand the distinction you’re trying to make.
I didn’t publish anything. I’m asking.
This is not true. You clearly took a negative position.Wait, didn’t you just do the same thing you accuse him of doing?
Whatever your horoas heter is, he has the same heter.
