JosephParticipant
Tomorrow’s NYTimes states that Kushner has had the final word with Trump amongst his various advisors, as he’s his most trusted, throughout the campaign. It says Kushner will remain the President-elect’s senior advisor during his presidency whether or not he’s given a formal title/position.
November 13, 2016 11:07 pm at 11:07 pm in reply to: Would you date someone on anxiety meds? #1193306JosephParticipantSo you believe that whether a potential shidduch match is diabetic or not should not be factor whether someone dates or marries him/her, correct?
November 13, 2016 10:36 pm at 10:36 pm in reply to: Would you date someone on anxiety meds? #1193302JosephParticipantRY: Non-diabetic people with anxiety typically don’t have sugar restrictions for their diet. Diabetics do.
JosephParticipantObama has much worse supporters than Trump ever had. Jeremy Wright, Louis Farrakhan, the black panthers and other violent anti-Semitic, anti-white thugs.
Abarbanel didn’t prevent the expulsion but he helped the Jews previously in many other ways as a result of his position. And his position in no way caused the expulsion. Rambam also served the ruler.
JosephParticipantA rant against the NYTimes is a positive thing.
JosephParticipantCTL, prior to Roe v. Wade, abortion was legal in many (but not all) states. So it wasn’t necessary to leave the country for an abortion. Secondly, even the states that outlawed abortion, for the most part, had exceptions.
JosephParticipantThe world’s largest Christian church is a minority of both Republicans and Americans, huju, and their positions don’t reflect their policy by a longshot. Furthermore, the vast majority of Republican pro-lifers explicitly support an exception when the mother’s life is endangered.
JosephParticipantMammele, why do you oppose Kushner having a White House appointment? Religious Jews have served in high positions for rulers throughout golus (Abarbanel, etc.)
Kushner’s been one of Trump’s closest advisors since Trump ran in the primary.
JosephParticipantWill Obama commute his sentence is a more time honored question.
JosephParticipantPardons tend to occur after the President’s final election, just before he leaves office.
November 13, 2016 12:44 pm at 12:44 pm in reply to: When we do have a female president one day #1191655JosephParticipantThat is a natural part of the human condition. Modesty is not only intended for Jews. Gender roles are a fundamental function of humanity.
JosephParticipantKushner was in the White House when Trump met Obama a few days ago. Trump appointed him to his transition team on Friday.
November 13, 2016 5:41 am at 5:41 am in reply to: When we do have a female president one day #1191653JosephParticipantA woman’s place isn’t in the public arena. This isn’t a novel idea. Shulchan Aruch, Rambam, Chazal, etc. share this point.
JosephParticipantlilmod, how would you know he isn’t taking medication that he needs?
You can only know he’s taking meds because (or, rather, if) he discloses that.
JosephParticipantThat they’re changing the typeface in new issues to TimesNewRoman.
November 13, 2016 3:14 am at 3:14 am in reply to: When we do have a female president one day #1191648JosephParticipantLet’s daven that we never have a female president so that the above conversation remains only theory.
November 13, 2016 3:13 am at 3:13 am in reply to: When we do have a female president one day #1191647JosephParticipantThe English counterpart to Lady is Gentleman.
As far as honorific, there is always Mrs. President (as the closest equivalent to Mr. President.)
JosephParticipantWouldn’t widespread refusal to date otherwise healthy individuals on meds encourage such individual to drop their medication before starting shidduchim so that they needn’t disclose that they’re on meds?
JosephParticipantThere vast majority of Republicans, including the President-elect, don’t oppose abortion when the mother’s life is endangered. The President-eject isn’t half as dangerous to women’s bodies as Bill Clinton was as President and would again be had his supporter and enabler, Hillary, moved him back into the White House where he previously abused women.
JosephParticipantYou have the wrong friends.
JosephParticipantThe internet is only okay if it is strongly filtered. And even then best to avoid if possible.
November 11, 2016 3:56 pm at 3:56 pm in reply to: Television: A Cry of Anguish and Appeal to Our Jewish Brethren 📺 #1193005JosephParticipantThey weren’t a misrepresentation and she was far from the only one. She was simply a recent example.
November 11, 2016 3:49 pm at 3:49 pm in reply to: Television: A Cry of Anguish and Appeal to Our Jewish Brethren 📺 #1193003JosephParticipantlilmod has changed how she handles men/women first/second in public based on halachic discussions here. She also has become more appreciative of the position on gittin matters I’ve expressed. And both of these are just with one person in the last few weeks.
So, yeah, change happens in real life as a result of discussions.
November 11, 2016 3:22 pm at 3:22 pm in reply to: Converting to Judaism, how do I explain to family about Xmas? #1193133JosephParticipantbenig, even if we grant your points, everyone agrees that the yushke they worship is a rasha. I assume you’re not saying otherwise.
Additionally, the Gospels isn’t factually accurate with its stories or relation of history or timeline.
JosephParticipantJudaism certainly does recognize gentile marriages amongst themselves and prescribes capital punishment for them when they violate said marriages, yichusdik. It prescribes the same punishment for toeiva among them as well.
JosephParticipantTrump isn’t much older than Reagan was when first elected. Hillary isn’t much younger than him either. Bloomberg, who seriously considered running, is a number of years older than Trump.
JosephParticipantThe Black Panther terrorists did a victory lap with Obama’s election.
JosephParticipantJosephParticipantThey were known about him before his first election as president that he committed while Governor of Arkansas and were widely discussed during his first presidential campaign. And he committed additional disgusting acts during both his terms as president in the White House itself.
JosephParticipantHe directly denounced Duke.
November 11, 2016 12:42 am at 12:42 am in reply to: Do you think Jewish men should start practicing polygamy again? #1191011JosephParticipantThere’s nothing anymore wrong with discussing the original topic than discussing eating kitniyos on Pesach. Some Jews do it and some Jews don’t. For both kitniyos and polygamy. Indeed, it is probable that changing the custom to start eating kitniyos for an Ashkenazic Jew is more difficult than for an Ashkenazic Jew to start practicing polygamy like Teimani Jews do.
Either way, having a serious discussion either about the original topic or about kitniyos is certainly northing wrong with.
JosephParticipantJason Greenblatt from Teaneck is Trump’s lawyer and Israel advisor.
JosephParticipantDY, I seem to recall that some months ago you posted your intent to vote for Clinton. What subsequently changed your mind?
JosephParticipantlilmod, Bill ran for (and won) the office of the Presidency two times. That is what I asked about.
DY, you and your wife don’t vote in sync with each other?
November 10, 2016 11:17 pm at 11:17 pm in reply to: Converting to Judaism, how do I explain to family about Xmas? #1193123JosephParticipantrachriv, you’re converting through an Orthodox rabbi/beis din, correct?
November 10, 2016 11:03 pm at 11:03 pm in reply to: Converting to Judaism, how do I explain to family about Xmas? #1193120JosephParticipantAdditionally, under Jewish law a convert, once converted, is considered to no longer have any relationship with his biological family. This is true to the point that under pure biblical law it is even technically permitted for a convert to marry his biological mother if she also converts. The biblical obligation of honoring one’s parents doesn’t apply to them, though by rabbinical edict some obligations apply and marriage to them is prohibited.
November 10, 2016 10:56 pm at 10:56 pm in reply to: Converting to Judaism, how do I explain to family about Xmas? #1193119JosephParticipantThe entire Christmas is treif and cannot be celebrated or honored in any manner. Furthermore, Jesus is considered to be a rasha/evil person and cannot be considered in any favorable light.

JosephParticipantbenignuman, they might become incapacitated (health) or pass away during his term(s).
I understand that Trump pledged to only only nominate conservatives in the mold of Scalia, who are pro-life, etc. And produced a list of judges conservatives are happy with.
JosephParticipantyichusdik, would you issue the same challenge to frum voters of Bill Clinton, vis-a-vis his mistreatment of women?
JosephParticipantbenignuman, do you actually think Trump is on Duke and company’s side?
JosephParticipantAnd now the Dow closed at a record high on Day 2 after the Trump victory.
JosephParticipantThe rioters in California are demanding secession. Pres. Trump will send in Union troops to put down the rebellion.
JosephParticipantThat’s a price well worth potentially paying, Mr. Wolf, for having very successfully staved off a radical swing right now from a centrist court to a liberal court that would have had generation lasting ramifications.
JosephParticipantSecretary of State Newt Gingrich.
JosephParticipantThe stock market went up the first day following President-Elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory.
JosephParticipantWell, Mr. Luchos, my suggested gambit has paid off and proven correct, you’ll have to admit.
JosephParticipantI’ve ordered a Siegelman’s hat cake. 🙂

JosephParticipantJoseph will be very pleased to be wrong, should that hopeful scenario happen.
JosephParticipant#NeverClinton
JosephParticipantMammele, Nixon was pardoned without ever being charged (let alone convicted.)
