Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Quick summary?

Here is a [very] rough translation:

Quote
"When talking about elections, the first thing a Yid need to remember is: Every single day, when  one begins one’s avoda anew - as it states in the Midrash, “when one finds oneself in a country where there are ‘generals, ministers [etc.] and then there is the king. One should say ‘אנא נסיב מלכא – I choose the King!’

But the King is not on the ticket?

This is similar to what we spoke about on about regarding ויהיו נא אמרנו לרצון לפני אדון כל. One talks [and talks] with others, but he must remember “והנה ה' נצב עליו ומלא כל הארץ כבודו ומביט עליו ובוחן כליות ולב אם עובדו כראוי” – and so whenever one speaks with people, one should remember that the purpose of the conversation should be  לרצון לפני אדון כל – and that is how one will achieve success through any conversation with a goy, and especially a fellow Yid.

So to with elections, when one is looking at candidates, the main point is אנא נסיב מלכא – I am choosing the Eibishter! So one has to examine: what is better for Shulchan Aruch? What is better for Yiddishkeit? What is better for Torah and Mitzvos?

It makes no difference which candidate promised more money, or more kovod – because one is not choosing a minister, or a general – one is choosing the King."

Which I understand to be saying: the previous 383 pages are a complete waste - the elections are a reminder to us to make a choice each and every day. A choice of  אנא נסיב מלכא. When that is our motivation, purpose and drive, our every-day talk is no longer idle, and our votes become meaningful.

I think it defines what yiddishkeit is really about. (along with Bosi Legani which defines what this generation is about).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

5. That might be your problem. The Rebbe re-emphasized עשה לך רב, and asked that everyone should have a mashpia. Once you follow the Rebbe's הוראות, even if you don't think that Rov or Mashpia can be trusted with national politics, that person will automatically have the סייעתא דשמיא to give you the right answer.
Didn't Dan say upthread his rav said they are both drek? Seems his rav agrees with a write in.

+1 but also V'Atah T'Tzaveh. That's the famous trifecta for our generation.

You're aware that your vote won't have an effect on who is president, right?

I voted for Menachem M Raitport for State Senator.

I hope that was sarcastic
