It is always, ALWAYS someone else’s fault. Because they were chosen by god they must be blameless!

There are still a few days before the election, time to re-double our efforts. Re-double because now is the time GOP operatives roll out the big lies to try to sow confusion. Happens every election. Don’t get fooled again.

Contact your local Democratic Party and work to get out the vote. Volunteer at a phone bank or go doorbelling.There is NO better way to exercise Democracy than by going door to door and talking with people. And few things will change a MAGA voter’s opinion of Dems than an offer to get them to the polls.

Go door-to-door getting out the vote. Help people fill out their ballots and get them mailed for states with mail-in ballots. Help drive people to the polls November 6th if necessary. If Democrats control the House they control spending. Trump can rave all he wants but we can stop paying for his fantasies.

We’re getting down to the wire- DON"T GIVE UP!

VOTE!!!

Fake rabbi?

What would Jesus say?

Republican Jesus would say, “No problem. As long as the rubes are satisfied.”

Typical Trump move. Always hire the worst (or the least qualified) person for any job.

I am not Jewish but, uh, fuck you, Leah Epstein. Inviting a Messianic Jew For Jesus (a religious movement supported by RW Christian organizations who are trying to get Jews to convert) - defrocked or not - after a massacre of devout Jews at a temple in Pittsburgh was even low for a Republican, and that’s pretty fucking low.

…we must unite as a nation… …Any media or political competitor who is attacking me or the Vice President is guilty of nothing short of religious intolerance and should be ashamed.

When fascism comes to America it will be carrying a cross and wrapped in the flag.

Oh, it’s worse than that. Not only are they trying to get them to convert, they are using them to trigger the Rapture, and those who don’t convert will be condemned to hell. They don’t give two flying monkey shites about the Jewish people!

It is hard not to read Epstein’s statement as being dignity wraithed by Pence. Why is she taking the fall? Why didn’t she push back on the invitation (Assuming she even knew in advance)

If you are inviting a jewish rabbi, invite a real one. If you want to be inclusive and uniting, invite clergy from multiple faith traditions.

(Architecture note: Epstein’s synagogue was designed by Minoru Yamasaki, it is pretty awesome. Nearby is a conservative synagogue, Congregation Shaarey Zedek, which was designed by Percival Goodman, and it is also awesome; I attended a wedding there a while back. Wiki says that Max Fisher was a member; Fisher was a prominent Republican fundraiser and activist in Michigan; his stepdaughter spoke to the GOP convention in the 90s. )

Oh, I don’t mind if they try to trigger the Rapture. I love Debbie Harry!

You really have to marvel at this administration. How can even they create controversy from something as straightforward as a freaking prayer in the wake of a shooting? Was Pence all like, “Get us one of those good Jews so I can close my eyes when he prays”?
