    Geez... show up for a trump campaign rally or don't get paid...

    Trump's large union crowd at Shell was given the option of not showing up -- and not getting paid

    Why are we okay with a bunch of our Reps going on a vacation junket paid for by lobbyists to sing the praises of a foreign government?

    A reminder that the majority of Jewish people are Democrats...



    More than 75 percent of Jews voted for Democrats in the midterms

    The two aren’t comparable.

    Omar was not making a dual loyalty statement about Jews in general. She was questioning the loyalty to the US of some Americans who’ve taken a particular stance on Israel — people who may or may not even be Jewish.

    Trump, OTOH, was implying that all Jews owe some loyalty to Israel.

    Totally different.

    Disloyalty? What a stupid accusation.

    It says a lot about his mindset. Not that there's any new ground to till there.

    Everyone knows who this man is. Some fairly disturbing people love who he is; it validates their worst impulses. Others of us are appalled; he threatens everything we see as a decent and democratic society, completely apart from policy. Then I think a bunch of people squint or look away and pretend it's all going to be okay, that he's just not that bad, or that "it's just his tweets" that they don't like.

    Soon he'll tell Schumer to "go back" to his country to fix all the problems they have there and to prove his "loyalty". He has already sent Jared... All the (democrat voting) jews should go and prove it too.. His statements relating to ethnicity may not be "racist" per se but they are discriminatory and divisive - hopefully minorities will see existential threat in it and hand him a defeat this coming elections after being relatively supportive in 2016

    The entirety of that linked QA session is remarkable (and not in a good way)

    Correct... as are most of trump's informal Q&A with press. The bit where he looks up towards the heavens and refers to himself as the "chosen one" should be enough to get him committed.
