@Jewish Dopers: Did you know that Israel is “your country”? [The Prez says so. That means it’s true, right?](https://www.yahoo.com/news/textbook-anti-semitism-american-jews-213409404.html) Good Lord Almighty! How is it that people believe this jackass is NOT an anti-Semite? Moving on, the clown in the Oval Office [does not believe that residents of “Blue” states count](https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/stephen-colbert-donald-trump-blue-state-coronavirus-blame-110431493.html).

Heck, the jerk even [even thinks COVID-19 is a good thing](https://www.yahoo.com/news/pences-former-top-aide-says-212104406.html). Hey, it’s great if it means you don’t have to touch “disgusting people” (key: he projects so when he says people are disgusting, he means he’s disgusting). ---

In response to the tweet from Trump: > @GOP We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices. We have this obligation, without delay! I responded: > Fuck you. Merrick Garland, Merrick Garland, Merrick Garland. Fuck you. > > You had no popular vote; no mandate; election in less that 8 weeks while Garland was held up for a year? > > No fucking way. Fuck you. Merrick Garland, Merrick Garland, Merrick Garland. > > In conclusion. Fuck you. For that I was put in Twitter Jail (only my 118 followers can read anything I tweet). I couldn’t be prouder. ---

I got a Trump campaign email today, referencing Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It called her an amazing woman, then asked for donations. Also, they said the Supreme Court seat needs to be filled ASAP, so they can get a “proper” justice in her place, before the election. Oh, and I checked, Trump is still breathing, so I’m pissed. ---

The [proclamation about lowering flags to half-staff in Justice Ginsburg’s honor](https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-death-ruth-bader-ginsburg/) pissed me off because damn near every word in it is the opposite of how that clown in the White House acts, especially this part: > Renowned for her powerful dissents at the Supreme Court, Justice Ginsburg epitomized powerful yet respectful argument; that you can disagree with someone without being disagreeable to them. ---

Well, of course he did. He has zero sympathy, no empathy, no concern at all for any other person, etc. The very reason for the invention of transfinite numbers is the catalog of negative attributes this so-called example of humanity displays. ---

What pisses me off about Trump is that every day he convinces more and more people that how he talks and acts can be gotten away with without consequences, and can even be profitable. ---

Do you suppose he could be driven so far negative he turns positive? I’m thinking here of a flaw in the original _Civilization_ where an opposing leader’s aggression was an unsigned variable. Ghandi’s aggression was pretty low to begin with and if your actions dropped it to below zero, he’d turn into a homicidal maniac that made Stalin blanch. Naw. ---
