Oh dear, I’m afraid you lost him at

pathetic asterisk of condescension

You can’t use such bigly words and it’s best to tie a condemnation to how he could lose money over it.

Just for future reference…

ā€œMake no mistake: The Antisemitism coming out of this Administration is the worst we have ever seen from any Administration,ā€ the Anne Frank Center’s statement added.

Trump: Can you please let The Muslims know? They think they are the only ones feeling the heat from me?

it was only yesterday, President’s Day, that Jewish Community Centers across the nation received bomb threats, and the President said absolutely nothing.

Bravo, Anne Frank, I knew you’d do very well and make a name for yourself…

Excellent statement by the AFC. Zero tolerance of bigotry.

And I am so stealing that phrase. Goes great with ā€œthe pitiful typographic dagger of deplorable.ā€

I fully expect another twitter-ranting to soon begin, and whatever little his handlers’ effort to manipulate the public may have achieved last couple of hours will come back to nothing.

My little boy attends a public elementary school literally adjacent to the local Jewish Community Center. The daily threats of violence to JCCs leave thousands of school children across America in a state of constant fear, and corrupt their classrooms from a place of safety and learning into one of dread and long-term trauma.

Trump put a neo-Nazi on the National Security Council, and appointed a White House advisor who wore an Axis uniform and medal to his Inaugural Ball. The President of the United States made calculated use of unapologetic racists – including the violently anti-Semitic regime in Russia – to help him seize the office by appealing to the worst of bottom feeders.

This. Is. Not. Normal.

His laughable head fake to plausible deniability hardly cuts it.

He’s due for another bout of high-mania expostulating.

So revealing that he chose to make these remarks at the National Museum For African American History and Culture. Not a word about violence against black people, because they soon won’t be allowed to vote. Oh, wait, that already happened across the country last November. He is such a hypocritical asshole…and he just had to praise his ā€œbigā€ win. He is beyond pathetic.

ā€œGeneral Flynn is a wonderful man. I think he’s been treated very unfairly by the media, as I call it the fake media in many cases, and I think it’s really a sad thing that he was treated so badly.ā€

OTOH, he also hates women, blacks, hispanics, Muslims, and the poor and the middle class. And people who don’t conform to his idea of beauty. So the Jews ain’t alone!

I heard the author George Saunders talk about his new novel, which features Abraham Lincoln in a rather fantastical narrative. He also covered Trump rallies for the New Yorker. He said Trump is the polar opposite of Lincoln, in that Lincoln became radically empathetic as he went on, in ever growing circles. Trump, OTOH, seems to only have feelings for the tiny sliver of humanity who are directly loyal to him.

It would be just sad, except that he endangers the very fabric of our society by his appeal to our worst impulses.
