WE ARE SMART

This is the big mental impasse that conservatives just can't seem to get past. They absolutely believe that Israel, and specifically the current ultranationalist government of Israel, is representative of all Jews. Present them with the fact that the majority of American Jews don't support Likud and their minds short circuit.

They know what they’re doing. They just want to give themselves cover for their Jew-hatred, which Likud does as well, as they would be happy for all American jews to be killed.

I would, personally, find a political yarmulke kinda gross in general, but nah it's not some 'dude God's mad at you now' thing just more 'can you loving not at least for temple man?'

It'd be more like taking Easter Sunday mass and doing that, I think. It's rotten blasphemy on like five different levels. I'm non-practicing but poo poo like this wounds me very personally.

I mean, for gently caress's sake, it's barely been six months since a right-wing antisemitic terrorist killed a bunch of us in my old hometown, and now Trump's supposed to be the loving savior of the Jewish people? Oh, right, I forgot, American Jews don't count as Jews anymore, only Israeli Jews and anyone willing to allow them to commit ethnic cleansing count as Jews now.

The 80s and 90s style crip and blood animosity has died down a ton from how it was portrayed originally, the gang tensions are largely racial at this point (eg mexican gangs taking over traditionally black gang areas all around LA) and a lot of the black gang stuff is intragang and between specific sets, hence the surprise at 83s and 60s getting along which is indeed a pretty loving big intra-crip rivalry being squashed, though that probably was cooling off anyways and people were wanting to settle that sooner than later for strategic reasons. Hard to voerstate how concerned black gangs are with mexican gangs in LA

Also the realpolitik answer of 'what's bringing them together' is existential fear of mexican gangs vulturing up territory from weak sets plus general weakening of the traditional income sources for gangs leading to less money being fought over.

E: to explain that last point: at the end of the day, none of the poo poo gangs preach really matters to the higherups, it's 100% about money and keeping themselves in power and eliminating threats to that. Loyalty doesn't mean poo poo, probably as many people are killed by people in their own gangs as people outside of their gangs because they were seen as competition or a risk. At the higher levels, basically all decisions are made from that perspective, it's only the young new people who get the idealistic 'everyone looking out for eachother no snitching ever no matter what everyone down to ride for you' poo poo.

Like there was a period a decade ago where two essentially underbosses in the Emes who were coming up were basically playing human chess by killing off eachothers competent lieutenants and middle manager types in a totally batshit power struggle.

Not enough is made of his tendency to do this, it's just so anti-assimilation; you can be an American-born descendants of Jews in America for 200 years but he ascribes an Israeli primacy to you. Does he want you to move there? There's too many facets of it for me to even adequately cover. Like for one thing, it's cut from the same cloth as the fear that JFK had a loyalty to the Pope over the Constitution.

February 2017:

quote:

President Trump seemed to suggest Tuesday that the recent bomb threats and vandalism at Jewish community centers and cemeteries across the country might be false flags, according to a Democratic attorney general who met with him. And Trump’s comments came the same day that one of his top advisers suggested the culprits could be Democrats.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) told reporters Tuesday that Trump expressed horror at the situation but also appeared to suggest it might not be anti-Semitism and that it could be “the reverse,” The Post's Mark Berman confirmed. BillyPenn reporter Anna Orso first tweeted about Shapiro's comments:

Shapiro told BuzzFeed: “He just said, ‘Sometimes it’s the reverse, to make people — or to make others — look bad,’ and he used the word ‘reverse’ I would say two to three times in his comments. He did correctly say at the top that it was reprehensible.”

This crowd, you have a point, but when he went to Pittsburgh, the first thing he did was express his condolences to the Israeli ambassador to the US. Wild guess that the mayor of Pittsburgh and such wouldn't shake Trump's hand, but it is way off base.

I will never vote for Donald Trump. He's a bigot, a misogynist, a fraud and a bully. posted:

I won't vote for Donald Trump.

I won't vote for Donald Trump because of who he isn't.

He isn't a Republican. He isn't a conservative. He isn't a truth teller.

He's not a uniter. Donald Trump isn't the leader America needs after eight years of a president who deliberately divided us and fanned the flames of racial and socioeconomic strife — and, by doing so, diminished America's standing in the world.

I also won't vote for Donald Trump because of who he is.

A bigot. A misogynist. A fraud. A bully.

Who Donald Trump is should have been at the core of his campaign for president of the United States.

Instead, what Trump wanted us to believe is a marketing package that has been sold to the American people.

He is accused of stealing $40 million from thousands of fellow Americans through a phony "college" — promising opportunity to achieve the American Dream. He has left in his wake failed enterprises such as Trump Airlines, Trump Mortgage and Trump Vodka. His multiple corporate bankruptcies have left scores of "little guys" — suppliers — with unpaid bills. He is not to be trusted with billions of dollars from the hardworking labor of millions of other fellow Americans.

When a man mocks the disabled, dismisses the valor and honor of America's veterans, such as Sen. John McCain, and defames the last Republican commander-in-chief, he is not to be trusted to lead our nation's military in times of peace or war.

There is a coarseness to Trump that degrades the political discourse, such as when he calls women "fat pigs" or attacks a female reporter by a not-so-subtle reference to her menstrual cycle.

And any man who declines to renounce the affections of the KKK and David Duke should not be trusted to lead America. Ever.

We have been deceived by a con artist. A fraud wrapped in the veneer of being a businessman, who has slapped a slogan on a baseball cap and is closer to being president of the United States than any bigot, misogynist, fraud and bully in modern American history.

Republican leaders are to blame. Of this there is no doubt. Republicans like me and others who could not believe or comprehend that anyone would take Donald Trump seriously.

Republicans like me and others who did not understand just how angry, bitter, frustrated and anxious millions of Americans are about the future of our nation and their own economic and personal safety.

Americans are hungry for a strong leader. And yes, Trump projects strength. But his embrace of Putin, his lauding the butchery of Tiananmen Square, and the praise he evokes from French fascist Jean-Marie Le Pen — the founder of France's National Front — and American fascist David Duke, signal a strength that is inconsistent with American ideals of justice and liberty.

It's still not too late to stop Donald Trump from winning the GOP nomination for president. I am an optimist and still hope that millions of Americans supporting Trump today will tomorrow recognize the poison in who he is. There are many delegates still to be chosen.

But it's also not too late for me and others to make it clear that under no circumstances will we support Donald Trump for president.

Who my choice may be if Donald Trump is the standard-bearer under the rules of the Republican Party, I do not know. I know it won't be Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

And I know it will never be Donald Trump.

When Trump refused to condemn the embrace of the Ku Klux Klan and David Duke and then tried to blame his moral failing on a faulty earpiece, it became clear that it is not in his ear where there is a problem — it is in his heart.

It is said that our leaders are a reflection of who we are.

If we believe that, then people like Donald Trump will fall.

If not, then people like Donald Trump will rise up, and like every fascist before them, will lead a nation to its doom.

America is a great nation. We were a great nation long before Donald Trump sold us on a slogan — and we can be a great nation without Trump's false promises built on a legacy of fiction.

Keep America great.

Fire Donald Trump.
