    I have always loathed Big Bird but now have a soft spot for him. That is magnificent.

    Even if this were true, Trump's chaos and ineptitude included criminal activity, inciting to riot, trying to overturn an election, thousands of lies upon lies upon lies, dereliction of duty in the early months of the pandemic that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, blatant racism, homophobia, misogyny, hatred, vindictiveness, abuse of power ... we could go on, but someone with half a brain shouldn't in any way try to equate these two administrations. And Biden has one thing going for him: by all appearances, he's a good man and genuinely tries to do the right thing. Trump is a human piece of garbage who tries to do whatever is necessary to feed his ego and bank account.

    MoDo lost her fastball years ago.

    Now a parody of a parody.

    Sad to see.

    And it’s important that he’s Jewish why? Because of the punchline? That the rich New York Jew is all about the money? Seriously- I don’t think you meant it that way, but it still reads like you’re trafficking in tropes in a time of rising ugliness.

    Polling showed that jews voted something like 80 percent to 20 percent for Biden. Nine out of 10 people I know (at least) in the New York / Long Island / Westchester / Connecticut area, jewish or otherwise, look at Trump and sees the most transparent charlatan and rank idiot of our lifetime. It's mind boggling to most people from where Trump actually comes from, that the rest of the country can be taken in by a bullshit artist (in the New York sense of the word).

    It's one thing that always bewilders me about Trump. The people who understand him best, and have laughed at his bullshit over and over again for decades and know a fraud when they see one, weren't supporting him. He's a pariah in New York now, which has to be killing him, because before his political career he was so desperate to be taken seriously by people in NY.

    His actual support? It comes from people in other places. And speaking in broad generalities (which I usually hate). ... those people ain't rich, jewish, golfers or people who flip stocks based on purile headlines. The guy he was talking about on that golf course sounds like a cartoon character more than an actual person.

    Donald Trump was elected and is still adored by people too ignorant to realize they have been caught up in a cult of personality.
    The rich people who benefited from the tax cuts saw him as a useful idiot. The tax cuts were actually Paul Ryan's, not Trump's. The rich would have voted for anyone with an R beside their name. It just happened to be time and place with Cheeto Jesus.

    The GOP underclass will never vote for a Democrat. They don't care if the person is decent or not.

    The focus group work that is ongoing is going to tell us how ignorant these people really are- and we probably have no idea how much.

    Hear the Fox News playing?
    Don't you know what it's saying?
    We should feel it together
    Forever

    See the tweet and just hold on
    To the sweet hatred flowing
    Feel the riot inside you
    He'll be there too

    Now's the time our dreams are finally coming true
    Feels so good they're dying
    Now's the time when it's down to me and you
    Spread these myths, we'll be flying

    Don't you know what the lie can do?
    Don't you know it sparked a deadly coup?
    Don't you know what the lie can do?

    Time to f*ck all their feelings
    All the while so revealing
    Let the white sheets enfold you
    Let them hold you

    Now we turn into patriots
    Now we never will lose it
    When the cable and night ride
    No lib can hide

    These are times that may never come again
    Fortunes there for the making
    When the right calls, you better let it in
    All these rubes for the taking

    Don't you know what the lie can do?
    Don't you know it sparked a deadly coup?
    Don't you know what the lie can do?

    Cool story. I’m Jewish by the way, and I’m aware of the general political lean of the Jewish community. Still don’t see why that’s relevant to Goalmouth’s need to point out his golf buddy’s ethnicity/religion in this context.
