Trump's maga fascist rally opened with a "comedian" who called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Puerto Rico doesn't have electoral votes to win or lose, but there are significant numbers of Puerto Ricans (US CITIZENS ALL) living in swing states like Pennsylvania. Trust me every Puerto Rican with a pulse is going to hear about their island being called a floating island of garbage. They also well remember Trump's disgustlngly poor recovery effort after a major hurricane, including throwing paper towels at a crowd of them as if they were zoo animals. He's such a racist -- and his cult members love that about him. If this election is really going to be as close as most people seem to think, this is the kind of thing that could swing Pennsylvania, and swing the entire election. Thank you Mr. Trump!

Very much worth reading. I'm a WAPO subscriber but here is a case to not cancel in the wake of the Bezos Trump deal. Opinion | I’m not quitting the Washington Post, and I hope you don’t, either - The Washington Post On Thursday night, at the Pulitzer Prize Awards Ceremony in New York, my Post colleagues were feted for winning top honors in three categories. A series, assembled by more than 75 Post journalists on the AR-15’s singular capacity to kill, won for national reporting. And on the editorial side, The Post had a double win: In the commentary category, Vladimir Kara-Murza, writing from prison in Russia, won for his columns demanding democracy in his country; in the editorial writing category, David E. Hoffman won for his series on the “Annals of Autocracy” and the global battle for democracy. Yet the next day, my colleagues and I were deluged with emails and messages from readers on social media. Many said they love our work but are canceling their subscriptions. Still others demanded that we all quit: “Your lack of resignation is a silent endorsement of Donald Trump for President.”

Commentary on this atrocious maga fascist extravaganza:

A tossup with a 3 point Harris national lead.

I'm not picturing that at all. I'm also not picturing her going back to California politics. Definitely books and speaking tours though.

We elect a president to defend the constitution not to worship the individual as a dictator. Maga fascists want a dictator on the side of global pro autocratic enemies rather than western democracies. If Trump wins, the autocratic forces win.

Good intentions, huh? Like spreading antisemitic tropes about control of banking? You're easily snookered.

No.

If she loses, she won't be politically relevant. She won't run again for president. Democrats don't put up previous losers, unlike republicans. What will she do? Don't know. Don't really care. I'm sure she won't starve. She could even take it easy and let her entertainment lawyer husband go back to work. Job one right now is getting her elected president.

Wouldn't be at all surprising.

Useful idiot for Putin.

Yes the small founding numbers has a lot of current credibility but originally the origin is from the diaspora from ancient Israel. I don't know if this has advanced over the years, but I have heard it's often a waste of money to do one of those genetic testing things if you know you're Ashkenazim, because most likely they'll just tell you what you already know, that you're Ashkenazism without a long list in fun other details that most people get.

Correct that Ashkenazim are not the majority in Israel, but they have become more and more mixed.

You're confused about the word semitic. There are semitic languages such as Hebrew and Arabic. The word antisemite for better or worse developed specifically only to mean hatred of Jews. You would know well about that.

As said Jews are not ONE ethnic group. But include a few that are definitely Jewish ethnic groups. As far as genetics most Jews in those Jewish ethnic groups other than recent converts will have genetic ties to the Middle east, including Palestinian Arabs and Italians. If you go to Colombia you will find many Catholics who were originally exiled Jews who were forced to convert with identifiable genetics to Sephardim. Types of Jews | My Jewish Learning

Jews who are Jewish because they were born to a Jewish mother are automatically Jews whether they grow up to practice the religion, atheist, or not. The Jews who really need to work hard at it are converts. Unlike Christianity and Islam Jews are not seeking converts. Aside from genocides, why do you think there are so few Jews in the world?

B.S. It's not at all meaningless. It's just completely different than what you think it is. Ethnoreligious group - Wikipedia

I'm going to go deeper into this and will likely offend. Oh well. It's for a purpose which I will explain. This very topic just for what it is open invitation to racism and bigotry against Jews. How can that be when the premise is high IQ, not low IQ See how the OP continues predictably bringing up age old antisemtiic tropes about Jews and money, controlling the banks, and so on. So not so positive after all. Compare to this idea for a topic: Do black people have low IQ? Then an OP saying, but heck they're great athletes and they sure have rythym when they dance. In my view, such an obviously disgusting RACIST topic about blacks which I bring up hypothetically is exactly of the same category as this topic about Jews. Nobody should start such a topic about blacks, and nobody should have started this topic about Jews.

Well good luck with that. You've outed yourself already. No need to say more. As far as the ethnicity thing. Jews are not a race. The majority of Jews are identifiable as part of a few ethnic groups including Ashkenazim. Conversion is very much NOT encouraged. You need to actively work towards it with your own motivation and work hard at it. Or be born to a Jewish mother. Your choice. Basically, Jews are an ETHNORELIGIOUS group. Like Kurds. A person can be a Jewish person and often is without any involvement in religious faith part of it whatsoever. That's the ETHNO part of that word.

Exactly what?

Israel is not the same thing as Jews.

He didn’t get fired. He stayed to try to restrain Trump's fascist impulses. There is an entire crew of Trump insiders who now favor Harris because Trump is unfit to serve and dangerous. I get that you are in a maga cult bubble.

That clip REEKS of intentionally misleading editing. So nobody should trust it. Beyond that they first talk as if they're not sexist men, then close with some B.S. about being "protectors" of women. Very J.D. Vance.

I could care less about your Memaw or your pathetic ignore list. I know you read my posts. Who do you think you're fooling?

There was zero chance of that happening. But understandable that a non-American outsider would harbor such bizarre and unrealistic fantasies.
