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.

Wow. This number rises everyday

Trump can't do anything middle of the road. If he's going to lose, he can't lose in a normal way. No, he's gonna go out with a swan song. Enjoy the show.

There are differences but that's not really the point.

If we weren't as successful and thriving as we are, don't you think we'd have a good excuse?
That's exactly the point. Even if it's a good excuse it won't help them. You need to live in the future and not cry over the past.

They are struggling with serious issues that the black community needs to recognize. Instead their leadership goes back into the past and cries foul. ( They are right that there are many cases of racism, but it's not the real problem)

I would say that there is a pretty clear distinction between Jews and Blacks in this regard. Jews have always been independent and individual thinkers. As the saying goes, "where there are two Jews, there are at least three opinions". Since the times of the Nevi'im, Jews have never followed the opinion of a single leader or ruler. Blacks on the other hand tend to cling very strongly to those who are perceived as activists for their cause. Nothing proves my point more than the fact that 98% of Blacks voted for Obama. You would never have such a percentage of Jews voting for anyone, regardless of who they might be. (There is actually a lot of value in coming together to stand for a single leader, and Jews can learn a lot from this, but that's a discussion for another time)

This makes for a complicated situation. Since the Civil Rights Era, a few Charlatans, made up of a combination of extreme White Leftists and Black activists took control of any and all matters related to African American life in America. The goal of these charlatans is to keep Black people in a perpetual state of victimhood so that these activists can fill their greedy pockets with cash. If a Black individual so much as speaks out against this "victimhood mentality", he or she is immediately condemned and ostracized. If you so much as utter a word about "issues in the Black community", you are immediately branded a vile racist and bigot.

Frankly, As long as these people are going to earn fame and fotune from this, I don't see how things will ever change.

That may be good advice, but it doesn't change the fact that the white man put them in that situation.

You have a skewed sense of morality.

And this accusation of my moral compass is based on...?

You said "the White man put them in that situation". I pointed out that the "White man" is not solely responsible for slavery, and that African tribes had a significant hand in it.

Please stop blaming the "White man" for all current problems.

Your use of the word "solely" to abdicate responsibly. That's the skew I was referring to.

The gemara suggests that people who buy stolen goods are the real problem. Thieves just respond to demand.

Just a perspective.

Suggestions are nice, but how about looking at the actual punishments for each party?

1. Why is the punishment the determining factor of egregiousness?
2. It wasn't my suggestion. It was chazal.

According to your perspective, thieves do nothing wrong.
Torah says differently.

If you're going to bring "chazal" as proof then at least quote it.

1. Thieves do nothing wrong? All I said is that it's interesting that there is another way to look at it too. It's called nuance. You look at different sides and angles of of an issue. Anyway, I didn't dream it up. It's a concept in gemara.

2. Okay, I looked it up. (No I am not boki baal peh in gemara yet.) It's Gittin 45a top of the daf.

The analogy is flawed anyway. There's technically nothing wrong with buying stolen goods, unless, maybe, if the buyer knew they were stolen.

Buying and maintaining slaves is a different story.

So maybe the white supremacists are right.  At least on DDF,  the election just devolved to a referendum on slavery

If it's about Trump, Hillary wins
& both candidates want it to be about Trump
