In the end, a majority of Americans voted against Donald Trump because they were sick of this toxic man and his dysfunctional presidency.

"Toxic."
ReplyDelete"Dysfunctional."
Spare me.
“Trump lost, and he lost for so many reasons” No. Bravo Joe Orlow “Spare me.” = “Spare Me” Meaning “Don’t Bother Me With” “Spare me” in the first meaning is used to stop you from hearing something unpleasant. In this case, it’s synonymous with the phrase “don’t bother me with” or “don’t tell me about.”
ReplyDeleteAllow me Torah thought this week’s parsha משפטים
Hertz Chumash p. 823: "12And the man that doeth presumptuously, The decisions of this Court must be strictly obeyed. Refusal to do so would, in a theocracy, be tantamount to revolt against the Constitution, and involve capital punishment for the offender. Tradition explains this v. to refer to a judge (זקן ממרה) who defies the ruling of the Supreme Court. the priest , The ecclesiastical president of the tribunal."
May I talk about judge (זקן ממרה)? “8If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, even matters of controversy within thy gates; then shalt thou arise, and get thee up unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose. 9And thou shall come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days; and thou shalt inquire; and they shall declare unto thee the sentence of judgment. 10And thou shalt do according to the tenor of the sentence, which they shall declare unto thee from that place which the LORD shall choose; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee. 11According to the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do; thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall declare unto thee, to the right hand, nor to the left. 12And the man that doeth presumptuously, in not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die; and thou shalt exterminate the evil from Israel. 13And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously. ” (Deuteronomy 17:8-13).
I like the word presumptuously
דברים פרשת שופטים פרק יז פסוק יב - יג
(יב) וְהָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה בְזָדוֹן לְבִלְתִּי שְׁמֹעַ אֶל הַכֹּהֵן הָעֹמֵד לְשָׁרֶת שָׁם אֶת יְקֹוָק אֱלֹקֶיךָ אוֹ אֶל הַשֹּׁפֵט וּמֵת הָאִישׁ הַהוּא וּבִעַרְתָּ הָרָע מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל:
(יג) וְכָל הָעָם יִשְׁמְעוּ וְיִרָאוּ וְלֹא יְזִידוּן עוֹד:
Sanhedrin 86b
“If he returned to his town and taught again as heretofore, he is not liable. but if he gave a practical decision, he is guilty, for it is written, and the man that will do presumptuously, [shewing] that he is liable only for a practical ruling.”
My case the late Judge Rigler granted Susan’s request early 1994 for 100% freeze of my pension. The late Judge Rigler acted presumptuously = full of, characterized by, or showing presumption or readiness to presume in conduct or thought, as by saying or doing something without right or permission. unwarrantedly or impertinently bold; forward.

nice to know how to use that phrase in proper context

Is President Joe Biden a rebellious elder? President Joe Biden wants to cancel some $10,000 or $20,000 from 40 million Americans student debt. When I went to Yeshiva University 1963-1967 I took the maximum I could student debt to cover tuition and dormitory expenses. I paid back in full my student debt. Biden doesn’t have authority for a half trillion or so give away without an act of Congress. If Biden gives a practical ruling that these 40 million American don’t have to pay their student debt and they don’t pay their debt: Biden becomes a rebellious elder.

Bottom line - If the Chinese hadn't released Kung Flu and 2020 had been a normal year without any unexpected upheavals, our mightly blogmaster would now be posting stuff like "Trump says he's going to run for a 3rd term, the Constitution be damned!"
ReplyDeleteNonsense!!
ReplyDeleteIf Trump wasn't incompetent as a president and human being he might have been reelected
the hypothesis is not useful. Today, we have an Energy/fuel crisis and war in europe, together with rampant inflation. Can it be said that this will topple Biden, but if the war + inflation did not happen, Biden (or Dems) will be re-elected?
ReplyDeleteOh spare me.
ReplyDeleteBovine faeces. Economic situations determine elections all the time. Bush I was running high in the polls until the economic downturn that happened just in time for the 1992 elections, for example. In Canada, elections used to be timed (we didn't used to have fixed days) to avoid economic downturns if possible. The lockdown and economic misery hampered his campaign enough to let Joe bring in enough illegals to the right districts to swing the vote.
ReplyDeleteOne could suggest that if there was no war in Europe and no energy crisis, the Dem's would likely be in a better position for November.
ReplyDeleteOK, but being president has built in assumption that he has to deal with crises.
ReplyDeleteit's like a soccer game, and the losing side always kvetch about what might have happened.
Trump claimed he lost because the FBI was against him and interfered with the story of Hunter Biden laptop!
