    Trump has been a blessing for the Jews. Trump has eschewed and rejected the tiny number of extremist and antisemites who tried to latch unto him despite his lifetime and presidency of being a best friend to the Jews, going far out of his way to help Jews despite it having no personal or political benefit to himself.

    jackk, no need for mechila as I never held anything against you. In fact I virtually never take anything online personal. To whatever extent you think it’s needed it’s gladly given. I do, though, appreciate the sentiment you expressed.

    The 117th United States Congress began on January 3, 2021. The United States Senate has already voted on a majority leader, Mitch Mcconnell, and Republican committee leaders.

    Frankly, if they wanted to play hardball, Republicans could refuse to have a vote to cede Leader Mcconnell’s position as majority leader. A vote is only scheduled once at the beginning of each term, which has already occurred.

    If that really wanted to play hardball, the Republican Senate majority could even refuse to seat the newly elected Senator(s) from Georgia.

    The current election system makes fraud easy to commit, easy to get away with, extremely difficult to detect and likely to remain unknown to have occurred.

    Most countries verify voter registration eligibility and more importantly require ID when voting. America by and large does not. Mail in vote fraud especially prone to occur without detection.

    1, 2, 9 and 11 should get priority.

    3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 should get no priority.

    7 and 8 are more debatable but I’d vote against any priority.

    11 should be limited to a small number of high government officials such as the President, VP, members of the cabinet, Congress and Supreme Court justices who should be given priority.

    Jude, which is why US, European and Japanese currencies are considered safe since their governments backs up their monetary value by its reliably full faith and credit. Whereas the currencies of Iran, Russia and China are not considered nearly as safe.

    Yser: Rav Moshe was adamantly opposed to abortion. This is a matter of undisputed record. For you to falsely imply that he did “the opposite” of opposing it, is a libelous falsehood.

    There’s no machlokes that Buttigieg is clearly guilty of giluy aroyos.

    Obergefell was opposed by Republicans. But only the Supreme Court can overturn it. And Trump has appointed Supreme Court justices opposed to Obergefell.

    It isn’t theoretical. Election fraud is a regular occurrence. If it weren’t potentially sufficient to change the outcome of elections, they wouldn’t bother doing it.

    It is why they oppose implementing anti-fraud measures such as requiring ID when voting or verifying eligibility when registering. That would impede their ability to cheat.

    Rooshishe Yidden.

    Russia is very big. It had Ashkenazic Jews, constituting the vast majority of Russian Jews, as well as Sephardic Jews in different regions. The Ashkenazim were generally in the European part of Russia whereas the Sephardim mostly lived in the Asian parts of Russia.

    Khazar Jews were a tiny number of royal family members a thousand years ago that lasted a small time before they melted into other groups of Jews and haven’t existed as entity for nearly a millennia.

    Constitutional law takes precedence over statutory law. And DC is a federal territory. As such, any alleged crimes are pardonable by the President.

    Most importantly, aside from this theoretical discussion, the President committed no crimes.

    Any president can pardon himself. The power of pardon in the federal system is virtually absolute and the constitution makes no exception to the president’s ability to pardon himself.

    Amil, you’ve changed the goal post. The question I answered, that you asked, quote: “What was the purpose of the rally” that hundreds of thousands of supporters of the President of the United States of America came to Washington, DC on January 6. The answer, as I stated, was to protest — which we you know is an exercise of their constitutional rights under the First Amendment.

    Now you’re following up asking about the hundred or two hundred trespassers who illegally entered the Capitol. That’s not the question you asked that I answered.

    Don’t mix up the hundred thousand with the hundred.

    “What was the purpose of the rally?”

    Expression of free speech.

    “What was the purpose of people marching down to the Capitol?”

    Exercise of constitutional rights under the First Amendment.

    “What do they think this march would accomplish?”

    Protest electoral fraud.

    huju: Which Democrat vote cheater has gotten locked up since after Tammany Hall? The calls for punishment always comes after others allegedly do what Democrats have long gotten away with. It’s the same with gerrymandering; it was all well and good for that hundred years Democrats mastered it, but became undemocratic once others bested Democrats at their own game.

    The difference here being that the Republicans didn’t even commit any electoral fraud, that the Democrats — as you conceded regarding Daley and others — are clearly guilty. It is true they vastly overstated the extent of the occurrence of fraud in the most recent election, but that is understandable given for how long Democrats have gotten away with it. And still fight against voter fraud prevention, such as voter ID requirements.

    As far as your question as to what we should do about it, I think the answer is straightforward. Create independent bodies not answerable to elected officials in charge of running and counting the vote. And most importantly create requirements insuring anyone registering to vote and anyone voting has their eligibility and identification verified prior to registration or voting. And verify the electoral registers every few years.
