Hi Jeff, I wish to bring up Donald’s screed again “liberal Jews destroying America and Israel” so many canards such as dual loyalty, liberal Jews on and on. It’s been revealed that some woman from a reality tv show wrote it for Donald.. she wanted to “trigger the liberal Jews” by this posting... well where does it stop? Maybe burning books? Maybe forcing Jews to live in ghettos? Maybe, as we saw this weekend bomb threats to 6 synagogues, Maybe have a little Nazi walk into a synagogue and run around yelling Christ is King? Oh yeah, it such fun triggering liberal Jews... I speak for a number of liberal Jews.. I’m getting sick and tired of this Jew hating... I’m 71, never have seen this BS in my life... 1935 Germany IMHO.. Thanks for allowing me to vent.

Fastball, I am also sick and tired of donny fuckface and his disgusting "liberal Jews" screed. This 75 year-old pissed off Jewish lady would like a word. But I'd be bringing my space laser and it would be loaded for bear. (This is all code for things I'd really rather do.....)

I saw a reel a few days ago, where, well, this:

“In the video, I am taking a flame thrower to cardboard boxes representing what I am going to do to the leftist policies and RINO corruption of the Jeff City swamp,” Eigel said in a statement to The Star on Monday. “But let’s be clear, you bring those woke pornographic books to Missouri schools to try to brainwash our kids, and I’ll burn those too - on the front lawn of the governor’s mansion.” (Via the KC Star). I thought actual books when I first saw it. I guess that’s next on the menu.

My sense is that maybe the CONSERVATIVE Jews who supported Trump the first time around due to Israel will maybe re-think their alliance to the GQP as Donny's never well hidden antisemitism is vomiting all over him and any Jewish person who ever supported him. IF ONLY US Democrats would be stronger in their support for Israel and the American media would cease with the "everything being equal" BS in terms of Palestine. When Israel defends itself against Palestinian aggression and hits a terrorist area, It is not Israel's fault this area was tunneled BY PALESTINIANS under a school, or a hospital or a daycare. Or that terrorists that blow themselves up in Israeli markets have surviving family members who get wads of cash for his/her martyrdom. Trump hates Jews, period, as did his father. That Ivanka and Jared are Jewish means nothing. Both of them are cash cows, so Trump doesn't care how they identify.

Even Hitler had Jewish friends. People kept saying the Jews would be safe because after all, the Kushners are Jewish. So maybe THEY won’t be herded into cattle cars, but the rest of us will.

If he’s re-elected, we’re out of here. I’m not waiting for Kristallnacht. My neighbors were survivors - he was a hero of the ghetto uprising - and I got my history lesson from them. I’m not going quietly.

Agree. Funny how things change. Thoughts go through my mind now that I would have never thought of pre-Trump and the unleashing of this virulent strain of antisemitism. I look around at my gentile friends and wonder "who would hide me?" Who could I depend upon should something like Kristallnacht happen again. realistically and sadly, probably not many. If my Jewish friends can become GQP members, what could I expect from the gentile ones? How many Jewish organizations went along with the limitations of rights thinking "if only it stops here if we cooperate." As you said, we have our lesson. No going along to get along this time.

The news media might actually redeem itself in my eyes if they all start a betting pool on which source can trick him into the most confessions and then keep him on air until the door slams behind him.

And then never interview him again. Just so he KNOWS he got played like a cheap kazoo.

Seeing how Texas just got shut down for trying crooked Paxton because Donny's mafia put the fear in them, I realize how each of these people who comes forward, who are braver that I might be, need protection. I am wondering what Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are doing for protection. I assume Liz's family has the money to protect her, but I don't know about Kinzinger. It sounds like in people in Texas, who wanted to vote to Impeach their crooked Attorney General, were threatened. It certainly is safer to be a Democrat these days.

I am also thinking of how Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked. Perhaps in place of attacking her. She is brave and it was crazy. Now the terrible Kevin McCarthy is trying to run things and he is a total incompetent from absolutely every angle, unless he figures out that he makes up his majority by appealing to Democrats and leaves out their crazies in his own party.

Mitt Romney doesnt always have security with him, though. although I think he and Cheney should....check out this video of Romney getting uncomfortably confronted at an airport...wish he had a security team to help him...pretty scary

For all the male bravado, if this republic survives, it will be because of brave women who risked their careers and personal safety: Cassidy Hutchinson, Molly Michael, and Mike Pence.

It would be great if someone could interview him about this, and play to his ego like “But you’re the boss, right? The one everyone looks to for leadership and strength. You weren’t going to let the FBI have those boxes, they were yours!” and then sit back and let him admit to obstruction and witness tampering

If we can’t nail him on the stand, nail him in interviews because he can’t get enough of seeing himself on tv or at least knowing he’s on tv.

I look forward to him taking the stand during his trial. And for those legal experts who say his attorneys will never allow it, since when has he followed his attorneys' advice? He'll be on trial for his life, and if it isn't going in his favour, he won't trust anyone to do a better job of defending him than he can, himself. "I alone can fix it."

You are right. However sometimes if people like him are scared enough, which I believe he will be, they will not risk taking the stand. He’s a strategist. I believe he will decide not to take that risk. Unless the off chance he wants to showboat in order to make a big splash for his devotees before he goes to prison or home prison.

This is hilarious but also mighty disturbing. Everything I read lately falls into that disturbing category: The WAPO article about S.C. high school teacher Mary Wood (another patriot and also a badass). She was reported to the school board for teaching about racism by, get this, two white ADVANCED PLACEMENT students, who felt ashamed to be white by having to learn about our history. Then there's the news about Boebert's boob-fondling in public being OK with the same people who are outraged by public breast-feeding. Sen John Kennedy reading a description of a gay sex act on the senate floor from a book that is NOT in any school library and was never meant for children. What was the point of that? Is that from his personal library? Maybe he should read 60 Shades of Gray next time. Photos of the boob-fondling could accompany the reading along with Hunter Biden's dick pic. The party of family values sure seems to be obsessed with sex, and is plastering it all over the news.

The fact that trump was using the back of classified documents to write his to-do lists, and his comments about liberal Jews are probably the most disturbing, but somehow get lost in all this other right-wing buffoonery. Is he going for an insanity plea? Or is this just a way to normalize his treasonous behavior and initiate a replay of the US civil war?

It all stems from moms for liberty (hate group). They showed up in my small town in Virginia and all of a sudden our library (originated in 1799!) was under attack from a group of extremists Catholics about LGBT books that they call “child porn”. Now our town is divided and we find out if we lose our library next week. Such a resource. But it’s happening all over. Next stop the same people are running for positions (many) in our small govt. It’s a disaster!! SaveSamuels.org for info

This is scary. I don't know how to combat this. I think the airwaves need to be flooded with their shameful behavior. I think there needs to be ads with disturbing headlines that appear to be from the 1930's about death camps, book burnings, hate groups....and then show that it is happening in the present day. Remember those Burma Shave signs? A whole slew of those that people will think are cute and funny until they get to the punchline. Billboards of all of their disgusting rhetoric and behavior asking why do you vote for this? Germany did too. I don't know. Just spit-balling here. There has to be some kind of in your face campaign strategy that people cannot ignore.

I will go to that website. We have to nip this in the bud now. But we also have to focus on elections because isn't that the point of their strategy? Focus everyone on trump's "interviews", book banning, Kennedy reading gay sex novels, dick pics....and all the while the GOP could be building gas chambers and stealing voter information. I'm not kidding. This is too bizarre to be what it seems so I think it could be something else entirely. Trump, Musk, Kim Jong, Putin, are all nuts. I feel like we are in a prequel of The Handmaid's Tale.. Maybe we should be worried about them banning that book , or 1984, or Every Man Dies Alone, On Tyranny, It Can't Happen Here, Under the Light of the Italian Moon and so many more. It's the dumbing down of the masses that got us here. Seems logical banning and burning books and closing libraries are all on the agenda.

It is scary and the horrid thing is... even though the area I live in is EXTREMELY red. Less than 0.05% of the population support the book ban (that has defunded 75% of the library!) yet the board of supervisors for the county seem to only be listening to this small fraction of extremists. It’s corrupt 🤷🏻‍♀️. Elections are coming, but I don’t know. We have had new articles. Local, National. Bodies at meetings. Rallies. Unofficial civic protests etc. it is all so very wrong and will just spread and spread and spread.

Please do your best to share the story. Not only for my library but for the next one!

This is not the only but the latest story about it in the Washington Post.

We see it here too. I am in Wisconsin, in a northern tourist area that relies on lakes, rivers, and natural beauty. Yet these are primarily red counties and districts that vote for people like Tom Tiffany, who call themselves environmentalists, yet vote no on every single environmentally friendly proposal except for 2 that he didn't show up for. He started on a county board and now he is in Congress. He worked in the oil and gas industry! What's next? Governor? Scott Walker ascended the same way and it took years of stupidity before he was voted out. They are backed by giant super-pacs and never-ending piles of money. We are electing the worst people. How do we stop this?

Thank you for bring up Mary Wood. As a retired educator I stand fully behind her efforts to educate our young people, warts and all. How dare these self absorbed whining student boo hoo over white supremacy making them feel bad about themselves and shame on shoddy parenting.

You think you feel bad now? Wait until you find out your white supremacy isn’t a valid reason for not doing a lot of things you don’t agree with. Try that “I didn’t pay my taxes cause it made me feel bad” excuse with the IRS. What a steaming pile.

The whole point is to rally his base. They believe everything he says, including that he did nothing wrong and this is a witch hunt. They are convinced that Biden is a fascist dictator. He is still looking for his coup. Stochastic terrorism! Violence! Chaos! Civil war! He truly wants to be a dictator, in office until he dies and Don Jr. takes over. He was probably on a Zoom call, plotting with Putin and Kim Jong. I'm not even kidding about this. No one imagined what Hitler was up to. Trump is a few notches higher on the crazy scale.

He does understand the perverse nature of the human being. He understands their greed and their need to be right. He knows they need to place blame, never commit, and maintain an image. What he does not understand are people whose lives are based on the win-win principle, generosity for no reward, loving kindness to others, spreading joy, and being happy when someone succeeds. That’s why “everything he touches dies”. Rick Wilson quote. Trump has a hunk missing.

If you're thinking about Judge Cannon, yes, she could muck up a lot of stuff. But there is the appellate panel who chapped her ass last time she tried to pull that crap.
