Get the fuck out.. I've had a thousand post shitting on him and one where I said he could just be wrong. He's an asshole either way and it's just semantics.
This is how the times is covering the rally with zero mention of what he said. From Court to Congress to the Mideast, Trump Tallies His Wins There are serious questions about the wisdom and durability of President Trump’s policies, but on his terms, he can point to a string of accomplishments.
the definition he gave is literally why it’s viewed as an antisemitic term. JFC. 10 years into this bullshit have we really not learned to never give his racist ass the benefit of the doubt.
he connotated the word to be derogatory/denigrating of who he was speaking about there is no defense of it particularly for a person speaking from the POTUS pulpit
I watched about 2 secs of the clip while doing something else. I can be wrong but I'm not an apologist. I tend to zone out when he's talking
in the clip he defines the term in an extremely derogatory way. It’s only been used to describe Jewish people and how they “control the world’s economy”.
u said you only watched a couple seconds of the video so I was explaining the video to you. U came of the top rope defending him so it’s even weirder that you did so without watching the video.
I think we learned a lot today and can move on to be better people, as the great Bill Shakespeare once said “all we are saying is give peace a chance.”
Merchant of Venice is problematic as hell but it is one of his more complex and interesting narratives
SALARINO Why, I am sure, if he forfeit, thou wilt not take his flesh: what's that good for? SHYLOCK To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million; laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies; and what's his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.
One strange thing about our nativism is that supposedly we are a country based somewhat on the roman republic and those guys loved offering someone citizenship I once heard the Roman Republic described as Goku diplomacy, I beat you therefore we are now friends
I just don’t think we are going to make hay out of accusing Trump of antisemitism for saying “shylock” for some reason
Trump: "I've never heard of it that way. It's someone who is a money lender at high rates. Nobody loves kikes more than I do."
Jordan shows too much top gum when he smiles. So he got into transporn and race science instead of developing a personality. A tale as old as time.
My wife is an immigrant and POC who carries her docs with her everywhere. She's hesitant to travel outside of the US for fear of being detained even though she got her citizenship over 14 yrs ago.
They seem to be missing the entire point that there was no actual story there and it was nothing more than racist bullshit spewed from a racist.
I told my wife this same thing when I read it earlier. I get both sides don’t like each other, but aren’t we supposed to work together? He really is dividing the country, and actually enjoys doing so.
