Recycled August Angst

The man called Donald Chrump – the sorest winner in the history of the world – made winning seem like losing, and for most Americans it was losing on a scale that would not be fully revealed for decades after the stench of his ill-gotten presidency had finally been eradicated. To be fair, it was a stolen, hollow victory featuring collusion between the Chrump campaign and a slew of Russian operatives and a last-minute assist from the director of the FBI, and a huge loss in the popular vote. Nonetheless, the most unlikely, unqualified, un-human candidate ended up as America’s 45^th president. From the moment his horrifying "American Carnage" inauguration speech ended, Chrump resumed campaigning for a second (and not infrequently floated third and fourth terms).

As summer grinds on, and Chrump’s IMPEACHED presidency grinds us into the ground, Paying Attention brings you yet another recycled moment from the past. Today we offer up the August 22, 2019 Thought For The Oy Vey.

“There is nothing more frightening than ignorance in action.” – Goethe

Il Douche, who just looked to the skies and declared, “I am the chosen one,” is now insisting that Jewish people who vote Democratic are “being very disloyal to Jewish people and very disloyal to Israel.”  In case he was not clear enough, and despite many calling his comment anti-Semitic, the next day he reiterated, “And I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty, alright?”  Alright.  I guess this means he believes Jews are loyal to Israel and not America, but does not think they should go back where they came from. 

A reporter asked Chrump if his comments were anti-Semitic (Hint: they were), he replied, “No no no, it's totally in your head. It's only anti-Semitic in your head.”  That might be true, but only after they were anti-Semitic in his mouth.

This has been your Paying Attention Thought For The Oy Vey.

You're welcome.
