Dr. PepperParticipant
By “all the more so” I meant to be explicit and not implicit. But back to your point- I do feel that creating a situation that makes multitudes of people comfortable with being עובר an עבירה, or even encouraging people who otherwise wouldn’t have considered doing the עבירה is much worse than being מחלל שבת or eating tarfus (especially when the עבירה is something that the תורה refers to as an abomination). Speak to your rabbi and let me know if she agrees or not.
I haven’t sold my souls to politics. I report to the רבונו של עולם who’s infinitely higher than the people who you sold your soul to. My decisions are made based on what I understand השם wants from me- not what handouts politicians are going to give me in return for voting for them.
When did I ever say that anyone who receives handouts is pasul for eidus? If someone votes Republican and is legitimately in a situation where they need a handout while they get themselves in order- I don’t see anything wrong with that.
What you refer to as “hakaras hatov” I refer to as a bribe. In my “crooked” world a judge or witness who favors those who gave them a bribe is worse than one who doesn’t.
Dr. PepperParticipantThanks for taking the time to respond- I’m going to try to better explain my choice of words.
There are two categories (in my opinion- there may be more) of people who identify as Frum yet vote Democrat.
1. Those that are clueless and vote Democrat because they are told to but would be horrified if they knew what the party stood for and
2. Those that are knowledgeable as to what the party stands for but vote for the party anyway (to get free money) and try to justify it.
I was curious about how those in the second category justify their position so I tried discussing it with posters who seemed intelligent enough to know what the party stands for (unsurprisingly I either get no response, a dodgy response or an incoherent response).
Out of respect for the clueless posters I’d refer to a difference in opinion as “not seeing eye to eye”. I’d have no problem referring to a difference of opinion with those in the second category as “I’m totally opposed to what they stand for”. I don’t recall discussing anything political with @Gadolhadorah so to be דן לכף זכות I used the former wording.
As far as Jonathan Pollard is concerned- I probably should have explained my position a little better. The main thing I was trying to convey is that his opinion is irrelevant. He may have provided Israel with top secret information but he didn’t do it with altruistic intentions- he would have sold (and tried to sell) the information to others. This is well documented and public information.
As far as his sentence goes- he made a plea deal with the US Government (it was in the best interest of all parties as he would have gotten a shorter sentence and the US wouldn’t have had to make public some of the information he disclosed). I’m not sure why he violated the terms of the plea deal by granting an interview with Wolf Blitzer (and I’m not sure why Wolf Blitzer was allowed in jail to conduct the interview) but he did violate the terms and as much as I felt bad for him for the 30 years that he was rotting in prison- he shouldn’t have done that.
I’m not going to say if someone deserves something or not- thankfully that’s not my job.
Dr. PepperParticipantI just implied voting for Democrats is worse than beiong mechallel Shabbos or eating tarfus?
Actually not. It’s the תורה that says that the punishment for משכב זכר is the same punishment for חלול שבת and the תורה calls one of them an abomination… and it’s not חלול שבת. (And by the way- that punishment is much more severe than eating tarfus.)
ברוך השם we were given the תורה or I may have thought otherwise. Without the תורה I wouldn’t have dreamt that the punishment for חלול שבת is סקילה, much more severe than eating tarfus which isn’t even מיתה בידי אדם. (One of your fellow liberal posters even accuses me of being in a cult for being Frum but I’m proud to be part of a “cult” whose leader is השם.)
I’ve literally pasuled the entire tri-state area from being eidem?
Again, actually not- only the ones who vote Democrat (I.e. willing to throw the תורה under the bus for some extra money). And if they’re willing to throw the תורה under the bus for some extra money- do you think for a second that they wouldn’t take some extra money to say false testimony?
And by the way- they pasuled themselves- I didn’t force them to vote for the party that stands against everything the תורה stands for.
I’m sorry if you don’t agree with me but I don’t follow the תורה to be popular- I follow it because that’s what השם wants.
Dr. PepperParticipantI’m not sure what you’re getting at. If I don’t see eye to eye with “sicko” or “sinwar” on just about anything but they claim that 1+1=2 I’m going to have to agree with them on that even if it means going against a respected person who claims that 1+1=3.
You mentioned that you don’t know what Pollard did or didn’t do but I shouldn’t bring up possible crimes that never went to trial. Are you familiar with his case? He didn’t go to trial- he pled guilty and then violated the terms of his plea agreement with is probably why he got the maximum.
@coffee addict
What does what have to do with the spying he was charged with?
How does him spying make him relevant close to 40 years after he was caught?
@Gadolhadorah said that what he says is irrelevant. I normally don’t agree with Gadolhadorah but in this case I do. How does the length of his sentence make him more relevant?Dr. PepperParticipantThe minyanim that I go to don’t have anyone talking during davening so nothing to get all worked up about.
If a Rav said something to me privately or during a Shiur to a select group of בני תורה I’m obviously not going to quote him with his name publicly without his permission.
The full context of what he said was a משול regarding a store owner who was lazy.
“If you walk into his store and don’t see him there, does that mean that he closed down his store? Of course not.”
“If you walk by his store at 10:00 AM and the gates are still down, does that mean that he closed down his store? Of course not.)
“If you walk by his store and the signs have all been taken down, does that mean that he closed down his store? Most probably.”
“רבותי, if someone messes up a little over here or there- they’re still Frum, but if someone ר״ל purposely violates שבת, if someone purposely eats טרפות, he’s taking down his sign”.
How much more so someone who actively supports a political party that wants to destroy the תורה and promotes relationships that the Torah call an abomination.
On a similar note- the משנה in ראש השנה states that a gambler is disqualified from being an עד in בית דין since he can be easily bribed. Do you think that nowadays the משנה would include someone who votes democrat just to get some extra handouts? If they’re willing to throw the תורה under the bus for a couple extra bucks what wouldn’t they do for money?
Dr. PepperParticipant@ coffee addict
Cause if they “ferociously defend a political party that’s diametrically opposed to everything Hashem and the Torah stand for” then they can’t really be called Frum.
But seriously- if they aren’t leading a lifestyle that we’d call Frum hopefully when he does תשובה they’ll follow his footsteps.
Dr. PepperParticipantI normally agree with @coffee addict and don’t see eye to eye with @Gadolhadorah but this is a rare exception.
For many years I was davening for Jonathan Pollards health and for his immediate release. With that being said, when I was in college someone mentioned Jonathan Pollards name during class and our normally soft spoken professor flew into an uncontrollable tirade and started yelling about many things Pollard did which were never publicly published and had nothing to do with Israel. (The professor was working at the Pentagon during the Pollard saga and still held some sort of top level clearance there although I’m not sure at what level.)
I continued to daven for his release, not that I felt he was being victimized but out of compassion for a fellow Yid who should be given the opportunity to do תשובה. And I think he owes the US a huge thanks for not getting the death penalty.
I don’t really care for what he says anymore although I’d love to hear his (full) side of the story- they are many unanswered questions out there.
July 4, 2024 11:21 am at 11:21 am in reply to: Elderly Senile Man for President of the United States #2294889Dr. PepperParticipantThanks for providing that.
Now, can you please explain why that bothers you but not when Biden claims that he’s the only president this century who doesn’t have any, this decade, that doesn’t have any troops dying anywhere in the world?
I also asked if you know of a single other person who was convicted of the same crimes that President Trump was convicted of. Until you find someone I’m going to consider him a victim of Biden and his rogue DOJ.
Finally, I also asked for an example of one of my lies since you claimed that my lies speak volumes. Can you please provide a single case where I lied?
July 3, 2024 9:25 am at 9:25 am in reply to: Elderly Senile Man for President of the United States #2294465Dr. PepperParticipantIf there are so many sites that list tens of thousands of his lies why are you finding it so difficult to list a single one here?
I mentioned a horrific lie from Biden that he shamelessly stated to hundreds of millions of people worldwide- why didn’t you address that?
President Trump is only a convicted felon because the Democrats are afraid of him undoing the damage Obama created and Biden continued. If Biden would’ve been a good president and President Trump wouldn’t have felt that he needed to save the country and gone into retirement- Biden wouldn’t have sent his DOJ to victimize him. Can you name a single other person who was charged with the same thing that President Trumps was convicted of? If not then you can’t deny that he’s a victim.
His lack of knowledge and expertise killed 1,000,000 people? Can you imagine how many people would’ve died under Obama/Biden had H5N1 been as deadly as Covid? Can you imagine how many people would have died had they been running the country when Bidens friends released Covid?
My lies speak volumes? Can you list a single lie that I wrote?
Please- continue to drink Coka Cola and stay off the Kool Aid, hopefully the damage is reversible.
July 2, 2024 10:13 am at 10:13 am in reply to: Elderly Senile Man for President of the United States #2294277Dr. PepperParticipantWould you say about any Rebba that was thrown in jail in Russia for teaching Torah that they’re a convicted felon? Hopefully not.
Just like those Rebbas were only thrown in jail because the government felt threatened by them, so too (להבדיל) President Trump is only being persecuted because Biden (and Obama who’s pulling his puppet strings) feel threatened by him.
Who am I more scared of with having the nuclear codes- a tough leader who put despots in their place and brought relative peace to the world or an old senile pervert who took millions in bribes from our adversaries and would sell any secrets for the right price? Definitely the latter.
Oh- and why do I keep hearing from Leftists, Libs and Laszlos about President Trumps “outright lies” but they never seem to be able to mention a single one yet they never call Biden out for his outright lies (e.g. he’s the only president this century who doesn’t have any, this decade, that doesn’t have any troops dying anywhere in the world)?
Dr. PepperParticipantIf you wouldn’t claim that your Frum I wouldn’t even suspect it. Just like you can’t claim that you’re Frum if you don’t keep Shabbos and you can’t claim that you’re Frum if you eat cheeseburgers- so too you can’t claim that you’re Frum if you ferociously defend a political party that’s diametrically opposed to everything Hashem and the Torah stand for.
Then you have the chutzpah to say that you’re a “proud democrat”? And then you wonder why there’s sinas chinm here? Sina- maybe, sinas chinam- definitely NOT! This website is geared toward people who are שומר תורה ומצוות, if you come here and make a mockery of the Torah you’re going to have people who hate you and write hateful things. It’s not undeserved, you earned it.
You can write a 10,000 word article about why President Trump is bad for the country? I can also write a script that will write the word “blah” 10,000 times. How about writing even a single thing that you don’t like about President Trump that’s not worse about Obama or Biden?
You’re probably going to ignore my post since I’m part of “The Cult” (I’m genuinely Frum and fear Hashem) but keep in mind that one day you’ll be standing in front of Hashem and you’re going to have to answer some difficult questions. If you try any of the nonsense that you try here the trap door will swing open and you know very well where it leads.
Please- on behalf of your children and grandchildren who are Frum, please do תשובה before it’s too late.
June 14, 2024 11:17 am at 11:17 am in reply to: Clarence Thomas – A Supreme Court Justice who lacks any Ethics #2290010Dr. PepperParticipantI agree with you to a point but this site is geared to Frum people and he is purposely antagonizing us. Let him start a forum for abortionists or LGBTQ+ if he doesn’t want to be offended.
I’ve held back from calling him wicked in the hopes that there’s still a tiny spark within him that can be kindled but anyone who knowingly calls for the re-election of the current president and political party that caused the crisis currently going on in ארץ ישראל- while 100+ of our brothers are still being held captive- is wicked and evil.
We just observed the anniversary of מתן תורה, I and many others, stayed up the entire night beforehand learning. The תורה is unique in that every single Yid was by הר סיני when it was given. I don’t know if any other religion that makes a similar claim. The תורה has been with us for thousands of years and every single letter had been shown to be 100 true.
I find it extremely offensive that people here are diametrically opposed to the תורה since it’s against the slaughter of unborn babies as well as relationships that their political party promotes- all this just to get some extra money from the government.
June 14, 2024 11:17 am at 11:17 am in reply to: Another (Baltimore) response to the tuition crisis. #2290009Dr. PepperParticipantThanks for clarifying that- the article I read didn’t have a video next to it and I was looking for that word. I wish him the best of luck.
Dr. PepperParticipantHappy Birthday to the US Army (1775)
Happy Birthday to the US Flag (1777)And Happy Birthday to President Trump, the greatest president the US ever had.
May Hashem continue to give him the strength to stand up to the Democrats who are trying their hardest to make sure he doesn’t undo any of the damage Obama and Biden brought to the world.
Til 120!
June 10, 2024 1:09 am at 1:09 am in reply to: Another (Baltimore) response to the tuition crisis. #2289539Dr. PepperParticipantYou got my interest piqued and I read the article online, while rereading your post I see that you included the word “net” but it was missing from the online article.
Do you know where the rest of the funds are going to come from?
Dr. PepperParticipantYou mentioned one candidate twice and left out the candidate that brought Iran, probably the largest supporter of terror worldwide, to the brink of collapse, made despots terrified of starting up with their adversaries and made the USA prosper better than any expectations (until Bidens friends released the virus).
June 9, 2024 12:44 pm at 12:44 pm in reply to: Another (Baltimore) response to the tuition crisis. #2289469Dr. PepperParticipantIs this pre or post tax?
June 9, 2024 12:43 pm at 12:43 pm in reply to: Clarence Thomas – A Supreme Court Justice who lacks any Ethics #2289455Dr. PepperParticipantWould this bother you if it was a Supreme Court Justice who supports the slaughter of unborn babies or the type of relationship that the Torah refers to as an abomination?
We have a president who spent his career with one goal in mind- to enrich himself to the extreme detriment to the country yet you’re still going to vote for him over the person who enriched the country at his own personal expense. (I know, January 6th blah, blah blah…)
In the past I brought up to you my concern with nominating a judge to the highest court based on her gender (even though she couldn’t define what a woman is) even though many of her earlier rulings were overturned (something that can’t be done with a Supreme Court ruling). Back in March of 22 you said that we can have a separate discussion (See Page 2 of the “So you voted for Biden” thread).
Now that you’re bringing up the Supreme Court- let’s discuss this:
Why are you ok with nominating a judge based on her skin color and being a woman, despite her not being able to define what a woman is- especially someone who already showed that she’s not an expert in the law?
June 9, 2024 7:37 am at 7:37 am in reply to: Thank you for your advice but….. We have to do what we have to do #2289214Dr. PepperParticipantLook back at history- in 1979 the Iranians took over the US Embassy and held 50+ hostages for over a year. Carter couldn’t do a thing, he was too weak. What happed on the day President Reagan became president? How long was it until the hostages were released once a strong president was in office?
History repeats itself over and over again and everyone sees that except for those who purposely don’t want to.
The despots can smell a weak US President from halfway around the world. Why do you think none of this went on when President Trump was in office?
Who are you going to vote for? The weak president who allowed all this to go in under his watch or the strong president who had the despots all over the world shaking in fear?
Dr. PepperParticipantIf Democrats can’t be fooled how did 81,000,000 vote for Biden?
Dr. PepperParticipant@ ☕️coffee addict
It was supposed to be a play on words referencing a post from @ jackk where he stated “The only dead party is the republican who had no platform at their convention.”
(Check out the “Future Speaker of the House AOC?” thread.)
I enjoy throwing hypocricy back at libs, leftits, laszlos…
Dr. PepperParticipantThat’s because they don’t break the law (or show up as emotional support for those that do).
But to answer the OP-
I didn’t notice what you’re referring to but if I had to guess it’s because Republicans have a platform to stand on and Democrats have nothing to go on except to say that they’re not Republicans.
Dr. PepperParticipantYou seemed pretty bitter right from the start when Elon Musk announced that he was buying Twitter.
Like it or not- Twitter employees used unfair practices to sway an election (by suppressing negative, albeit absolutely true, stories about the Bidens). I understand your disappointment that they won’t have that weapon in their arsenal this time around.
Twitter gave President Trump a permanent ban while allowing despots from around the world to continue their hateful and threatening rhetoric.
I highly doubt Mr. Musk purchased Twitter with the intent of making money off of it. He most probably purchased it with the intent of removing a cyber bully- at an enormous cost to himself- and making the world a better place.
I read somewhere that while he was president, Mr. Trump made the country more prosperous at a great personal expense while as president Biden made himself more prosperous at a great expense to the country.
We need more selfless people like President Trump and Mr. Musk to be involved in running this country than Biden and Obama.
While on the topic of Mr. Musk- you had previously claimed that he paid no taxes in 2022 but according to CNN (hardly a Conservative mouthpiece) he paid $11,000,000,000 in taxes. I asked for your source in the past but you ignored the post. Can you either provide the source or come clean about making it up/ lying?
Dr. PepperParticipantWould Bragg have gone after Biden with the same vigor that he went after President Trump?
Dr. PepperParticipantThe Americans that feel the same way are mostly in one of the following categories:
1. Those that are fully capable of being makers but would rather be takers,
2. People who support the slaughter of unborn babies,
3. Graduates who took out student loans to get a degree in gender studies (or the likes) and now feel that the taxpayers should be responsible,
4. Shoplifters, carjackers, murderers, terrorists…
5. Perverts who want an excuse to be in the girls locker room,
6. Those who so naive that they believe everything in the liberal media without thinking for themselves.
I’ve asked you and other leftists / libs / laszlos on here to name a single thing that is better for a hardworking American who takes responsibility for himself and wants his family to be safe but I never got a single valid response. (Although I could name lots of things that are worse off.)
The entitlements that the Democrats give out pale in comparison to the suffering that the hostages and their families are going through. It’s way past the time to vote out the person who enabled the war to begin and vote in the person who didn’t have any wars start under his watch.
Dr. PepperParticipantI’m not going to waste too much time on my day off to fully respond to some ridiculous post that you copied and pasted from somewhere else since leftists, libs, laszlos and the like tend to ignore it when they feel cornered- but how can you give so much credit to an old senile pervert who can’t even find his way off a stage after reading everything off of a teleprompter (including the directions)?
The reason why the stock market is going up now is because investors realize that Biden has such a low chance of being re-elected that they’re jump staring their investments- I find it hilarious that you’re giving Biden the credit!
It’s sickening that you give him credit for the “tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of armaments” while ignoring that it was his stupidity that enabled the war to begin in the first place yet you don’t give President Trump and credit for having no wars start under his watch.
I asked you this in another thread but as a leftist / lib / laszlo you ignored it. I’m going to ask it again though.
Would you rather have the thousand + innocent lives that were taken אל קדוש השם or the “tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of armaments”?
Dr. PepperParticipantThere were some serious statistical abnormalities in the 2020 elections that the citizens of the US deserved to have investigated and explained. As the president of The United States at the time I expected President Trump to stand up for the country and get some answers.
It’s time that you set your personal agenda aside and think about the 100+ Jewish hostages as well as the thousands of Yidden who are putting themselves in danger to protect ארץ ישראל. You’re transgressing לא תעמוד על דם ריעך by voting for Biden.
Take out a history book and look what happened in the Middle East back in 1979. The US had by far the worst and weakest president ever in the White House (albeit he got bumped into third place by now) and what did he do during the Iranian Revolution? There were 50+ US hostages held for over 440 days. Carters indifference (or inability to do anything) is the reason why close to 50 years later Iran is still one of the biggest threats to world peace.
What happened the very day that President Reagan was sworn in and there was a tough leader in the White House that the terrorists were afraid of?
When Iran threatened Israel and Biden got up and said the longest word / sentence / paragraph he could remember without the help of a teleprompter (four letters plus an apostrophe)- what happened? The world laughed at him and Iran fired over 300 weapons towards Israel.
Do you think that Hamas doesn’t notice Bidens weakness and animosity towards Israel? Notice how they keep upping the ante for a prisoner exchange every time he stabs Israel in the back.
Do you think they’d have the same brazenness if the same president who brought Iran to the brink of collapse and left other despots shaking was back in the White House?
It’s time to “get over it” and vote for President Trump, the best and strongest president the country has ever had as well as the president who’s done the most for Yidden.
I’m not telling you to “get over it” as an excuse to vote for the only person who can even begin to undo all the damage done by Biden and Obama- there’s no need to excuse that. I’m telling you that because using “Jan 6th” as an excuse for everything in life isn’t going to get you anywhere.
You can accuse me of being in a cult (I am a proud Orthodox Jew) to get out of responding. But keep in mind that one day (hopefully many, many years from now) you’re going to be standing in front of the מלך מלכי המלכים (the leader of my cult) and you’re going to have to answer so difficult questions. You won’t be able to ignore the questions, השם will know when you’re lying and “because of Jan 6th” will not be an acceptable answer to a single question.
Dr. PepperParticipant@ ☕️coffee addict
Of course you need to be דן לכף זכות in the first two cases, I was referring to a situation where, let’s say, you informed the person that he shouldn’t be driving on Shabbos and he answered that he knows it’s Shabbos but he only keeps Shabbos in it house. Would you eat in his house?
Similarly, if you explained to someone who’s supposedly שומר שבת that he shouldn’t be eating in McDonalds and he answers that he’s only chewing but not swallowing- would you still call him Frum?
Finally, in the last case I’m referring to someone who knows what the party represents and that they are diametrically opposed to השם and the תורה but justifies voting Democrat because he’s socially liberal but fiscally conservative- do you think such a person should be called to the תורה in a Frum Shul?
Dr. PepperParticipantThanks for cracking me up again.
You only find it terribly offensive because it’s true. (Which is why I laughed out loud instead of being offended when you accused me of being part of a cult 😂.)
I try to read all your posts as they bring a smile to my face and I can’t say for certain that you didn’t say anything supportive of the Pro – Palestinian protesters although I can say that I didn’t come across any.
But, you and the Pro – Palestinian protestors ferociously defend a political party that is extremely anti-Semitic.
What have Biden and the Democrats delivered since he took office? Sky high inflation? Sky high gas prices? Some wars where there was relative peace under President Trump? How many illegal immigrants? (Do I need to keep on going?)
Just curious- did you step out for Shevii this past שבת?
Dr. PepperParticipant@ 5TResident
There’s lots to discuss over here and this forum might not be the best place, but there is something I’m going to point out.
Two of my grandparents are Auschwitz survivors and lost lots of relatives there (B”H they spared me from hearing the horrors of what went on there until I got older).
While we’ll never know what Hashem’s plans were back then we can look back now. From those that went to E”Y (or the US) ten years earlier, barely any of them are still religious. B”H my grandparents have dozens upon dozens of descendants- all Frum.
As a side point- every so often I take a look back ten years at my personal life and think of some of the nisyanos I had back then (which I couldn’t fathom how it was for the best) and fast forward ten years and it all worked out for the best.
Dr. PepperParticipantI’m not sure what you’re stuck on. Just because someone dresses a certain way and calls themselves Frum- doesn’t mean that they’re Frum.
If you see a guy with a hat and jacket driving to shul on Shabbos- would you call him Frum? Would you eat in his house.
If you see a supposedly Shomer Shabbos guy in McDonalds eating a Happy Meal- would you call him Frum?
If you found out that a kollel yungerman is “married” to a male- would you let him learn with your kids?
If you found out that a supposedly Frum neighbor (with long payos and everything) identifies as a female and hangs out in girls locker rooms – would you let your kids into his house to play with his kids?
If you found out that someone in your shul votes Democrat- would you still let him have kibbudim?
So, just because someone dresses a certain way, acts a certain way and claims to be Frum- it doesn’t make them a שומר תורה ומצות.
I’m not sure why you’re surprised by the way they act.
May 4, 2024 9:26 pm at 9:26 pm in reply to: How Can Any Jew Who Isn’t a Self-hating Jew Still Identify as a Democrat #2280805Dr. PepperParticipant@lakewhut
From the Democrats / Leftists / Liberals that I came across on this site I created a list of groups that they can fall into (although some may fall into more than one):
1. Those that were voting Democrat for 50+ years and are in denial that their beloved party fell off the deep end.
2. Those that are willing to throw Hashem and the Torah under the bus for a couple of extra $$$ so they don’t need to work.
3. Those that don’t think for themselves and
4. Those that are only claiming to be a Democrat / Leftist / Liberal and post ridiculous stuff to make the party look bad.
Dr. PepperParticipantCalling Bidens Foreign Policy “very successful” is simply a lie (and extremely offensive to anyone who lost loved ones in the wars he allowed to happen). The only Americans that support it are those that hate America and / or are totally clueless. (I’ll let you decide which category you’re in.)
President Trumps Foreign Policy was a smashing success. The US was a feared country and there were no new wars while he was in office. The despots stayed peaceful and anxiously awaited for a Democratic president to restart their rabble rousing.
I can’t say that I knew what he was doing at the time he was cozying up with Putin or the despot from North Korea but in hindsight it was a brilliant move from unarguably the most successful president ever. His IQ is sky high and light years ahead of mine but if that’s what it takes to keep the world peaceful then so be it.
April 16, 2024 10:12 pm at 10:12 pm in reply to: Trump Trial #3 – Criminal Trial for falsifying business records #2278000Dr. PepperParticipant@CTLAWER
I noticed your carefully chosen words and purposely took the bait… to point out the following. This isn’t a court of law where you can get off on a technicality based upon clever wording. Your intent was to be offensive so as far as I’m concerned it wasn’t a false accusation. Even if you didn’t call me that per se- you implied it. Would you have used the same language to a judge while representing a client?
I don’t believe I ever wrote that you or anyone else in the Coffee Room “owes” me a response- if you want to reply you can reply if you don’t want to reply then you don’t have to, if you want to give dodgy responses- that’s within your rights as well. But if I can’t have a normal conversation then I’m not going to continue the conversation. I try to respond to as many posts directed to me as possible, I was merely trying to be courteous in explaining why I’m done having discussions with you.
Had you ignored my post back in September I would have been דן לכף זכות that you never saw it. But you did respond and dodged the questions I had.
Check out your final response to me in the “Biden or Trump” discussion. In an earlier post I mentioned that my healthcare expenses went up by more than 400% and you wrote that you don’t agree with me on the ACA (I don’t believe I wrote anything else about the ACA in that discussion). You admitted that you have no knowledge of costs under the ACA except in CT but you still haven’t answered the reason why you disagree with me.
In the same thread I asked for a single accomplishment Biden has done in his 50 years in politics and you mentioned the $35 cap on insulin. When I pressed you to mention something that benefits more than 1% of the population- all of the sudden you’re not here to defend the president.
Finally- I asked you a simple multiple choice question with four possible scenarios to get your train of thought but it didn’t jive with your agenda so you added a fifth scenario.
Anyway- wishing you a חג כשר ושמח as well.

Anyway- I gave up discussing things with you back in September after you refused to give straight answers to a number of direct questions I posed to you. I have no interest in having those kinds of conversations so I’m not going to respond to the rest of your post.
But I agree that it’s beneath the dignity of a בן תורה to stoop to the level of a Liberal and will בלי נדר not use that adjective again.
April 15, 2024 8:45 am at 8:45 am in reply to: Trump Trial #3 – Criminal Trial for falsifying business records #2277412Dr. PepperParticipantDo you really think that any of these Loony Libs would ever vote Republican- even to vote against FDR in WWII and save precious Yidden?
If Hitler was running as a Democrat against President Trump they’d still vote Democrat. (And justify it with “Jan 6th”.)
Dr. PepperParticipantI don’t know what goes on in the next world but a generation ago I would have agreed with you.
It’s kind of black and white nowadays. Even if politics aren’t directly discussed I can’t imagine that someone who purposely throws השם and the Torah under the bus for their own financial benefit won’t have to answer for it.
April 14, 2024 11:25 pm at 11:25 pm in reply to: Trump Trial #3 – Criminal Trial for falsifying business records #2277301Dr. PepperParticipantYou blame it on President Trump since he was president at the time but you neglected to mention that it was released by Bidens friends (probably purposely to hurt his chances of getting re-elected).
Go back and take a look at how Obama/Biden handled H1N1 (Swine Flu), luckily the virus wasn’t as contagious or deadly as Covid but can you imagine how many more Americans would have died? (And you would have found a way to blame it on President Trump 😂.)
The way you Loony Libs state that there were too many failures to list a single one is hilarious. You still haven’t been able to list a single way that a hard working taxpayer like myself had it better under Biden than President Trump.
I was also cracking up when Harris said that if President Trump wins the election it could be the last election without providing any explanation. (Is he going to have his DOJ file dozens of ridiculous indictments against his political foes?)
Dr. PepperParticipantI haven’t either spoken to Rav Miller Zt”l recently but if he was so against Democrats before Obama pushed them so far to the left I’m confident that he would continue advocating for voting against them. (How much more so after Biden led them off the deep end.)
Hopefully you’ll do תשובה before you reach 120 but if you ח״ו don’t how are you going to explain to השם how you ferociously defended a political party that encourages a relationship that the Torah calls an abomination? Are you going to say “Because of Jan 6th”?
How are you going to explain how you ferociously defended a political party that encourages the slaughter of innocent unborn children so that the mother can go get drunk with her friends and not have to find a babysitter? “Uh, השם- it was because of Jan 6th”?
You may fool some other Loony Libs but השם knows the real reason why you’re throwing Him and the Torah under the bus.
Please think carefully and do תשובה before it’s too late. Keep in mind that the more people here you corrupt the longer it’ll take to fix the damage you created.
April 14, 2024 4:20 pm at 4:20 pm in reply to: Trump Trial #3 – Criminal Trial for falsifying business records #2277176Dr. PepperParticipantWhen President Trump was in office this never happened. Putin was afraid of him and didn’t try to test his limits.
The despot from North Korea tested President Trump and I was terrified when he didn’t back down, luckily President Trump knew what he was doing and didn’t back down until ultimately Kim Jon Un did.
Ask anyone who ר״ל lost a relative since October 7th if they’d rather have the money, support and “much, much more” from Biden or their loved ones and I guarantee you that you won’t find a single person who would rather have what Biden have them.
Our enemies can sense a weak president from thousands of miles away. Look what happened under Carter (the worst president for decades until Obama), Iran became a worldwide threat that hasn’t subsided. For over a year the Iranians refused to release the hostages taken from the US Embassy. How long did it take President Reagan to get them released after taking office?
Now that Biden is in office (and Carter got pushed down to third place in rank of worst presidents) the Iranians sensed again that the US has a weak president and started testing their limits. They see that Biden didn’t cut off their money flow and isn’t punishing them for what they did- do you honestly think that they learned their lesson?
Don’t think for a second that Biden cares at all about Jews- he only cares about getting re-elected. If he felt that he had a better chance of getting re-elected by not doing anything- he wouldn’t have done anything.
Now imagine if Israel would have gone on a full offensive and blew up some oil refineries in Iran- the cost of gas would have gone up even higher than it already went up under his term and the chances of him losing to President Trump would have gone up even higher than they already are.
April 12, 2024 6:40 pm at 6:40 pm in reply to: Trump Trial #3 – Criminal Trial for falsifying business records #2276778Dr. PepperParticipantDr. PepperParticipantThanks- now I need to figure out how to apply it.
Dr. PepperParticipantYes, absolutely tirelessly.
President Trump is a workaholic and absolute genius whose IQ is light years ahead of mine. I can’t answer for everything thing that he does but his success proves it.
He knows what he’s doing and what it takes to get it done. Why does it bother you if he golfs, tweets or watches TV between successes?
Dr. PepperParticipantI explained this to you in a post back in late March.
The best way to manage a company is to line up future income with future expenses and not keep too much cash on hand. The better this can be done, the less cash needed to be kept on hand. Given the genius level IQ of President Trump (and the brilliant people he surrounds himself with) the in and out cash flows were probably very well aligned.
If President Trump had all the future assets and liabilities lined up and then was forced to sell a huge piece of real estate (really fast and at a huge loss) he’d lose out on the future income to pay the future liabilities.
If the AG and judge weren’t so blatantly biased against him they may have just allowed him to post the title to one of his buildings (worth considerably more than the bond) but they were trying to do irreversible damage to him and his company and insisted on cash.
Dr. PepperParticipantDo you know when else his enormous wealth dropped significantly?
The four years that he worked tirelessly for every single citizen to make the world a better place.
By contrast- how much did Bidens wealth grow by while in the White House (while many millions of people are struggling to keep a roof over their head and put food on their table)?
Where did that money come from?
Dr. PepperParticipantTo claim that the price of gas was low due to the pandemic without mentioning that it had already dropped significantly before the pandemic and only dropped slightly once the pandemic started is simply a lie. Similarly, to not mention that the price of gas shot up significantly after Biden signed the executive order, is a lie as well.
I try not to waste my time with posters who lie, dodge questions, give vague responses or don’t respond at all (although I do make an exception for one poster since he cracks me up).
If you want to discuss aid to Israel and Ukraine as well as IVF you can go ahead and fix the post about gas prices and post the details you purposely left out from the other topics.
Dr. PepperParticipantYou crack me up 😂!
You’re the one who asked for evidence in order to believe that someone currently sitting in jail for shoplifting can’t continue shoplifting while in jail and you accuse me of being in a cult.
Well, I guess that’s one way to end a discussion where you helplessly blocked yourself into a corner.
Dr. PepperParticipantI’m not sure where you copied and pasted that list from but can you point to a single one that helps out the millions of hard working families (that don’t own a business) that make too much to be eligible for handouts but not enough to be unaffected by the skyrocketing prices of just about everything?
Inflation Reduction Act? You’ve gotta be kidding me! How much was a gallon of gas when President Trump was in office? How much more is the typical weekly grocery shopping for a family now than when President Trump was in office? And then you mention that not a single Republican voted for it? Why should they have- did prices for anything go back down to the Pre-biden days? How much has the deficit gone down since then?
Support for Ukraine and Israel??? It would be laughable if there weren’t thousands of innocent people that lost their lives. None of this went on when President Trump was in office. You’re going to give him credit for sending arms to fight a war that he shouldn’t have allowed to start in the first place (and leave out that he’s still allowing huge amounts of money to flow to Iran)?
What have Republicans done in the last year?
For starters they showed the world (at least the ones not tuned in the Fake News all day long) that despite the Democrats complaining about hard working people not paying their “fair share”- the president’s son doesn’t have to and they’re not going to do anything about it. They showed the world that Biden sold out the country while he and his family raked in tens of millions of Dollars in multiple accounts without any legitimate business source (and they probably didn’t pay their “fair share” for that either). They showed the world that they can scream gun control all day long but when the president’s crack head son lies on his gun application and the gun ends up in the garbage- they’re not going to do anything about it.
But why only the last year when they barely had enough power to do anything- go back to the first three years of President Trump’s presidency (before bidens friends released the virus). Record low gas prices, DJIA hitting new milestones on a daily basis, record low unemployment, 401(k) accounts making unimaginable gains…
Oh- and thanks for telling me that he was trying to say “possibilities”, in a million years I never would have guessed it.
Dr. PepperParticipantYou can say that the slurring of an old and senile pervert is entertaining- that’s fine with me. What you neglected to address is that his actions (unlike President Trumps actions) are detrimental to those who want to work and live a peaceful life.
Can you name a single thing Biden did that benefited hard working Americans?
Dr. PepperParticipantIt seems like the first part of your post got cut off. It also seems like you copied and pasted the information from PolitiFact. Can you direct me to a place that has the entire video? I’ve been wondering for years what he was trying to say.
