Just a view years ago a large group of marchers holding torches marched through Charlottesville chanting “Jews will not replace us”. Trump called them “some very fine people”. They were white supremacist’s who are part of what Donald Trump considers his “base”. – One would imagine that would make Trump anti sematic. Yet his son in law is Jewish and his favorite daughter converted to Judaism. He also gave the state of Israel things they wanted like the US embassy moving to Jerusalem etc. The point about Trump is that likes people who like him.
The marchers liked him and so does BB Netanyahu. That they represented two totally opposing positions made no difference. Does he believe any of the crazy Qanon ideas – it’s hard to believe he does – BUT they like him so he likes them too. The Republican politicians have read him like a book. Look supportive, say you believe in what he says and you get his support. It makes no difference if it is nonsense or not. -
The most amazing thing about the “stop the steel” thing is that it is in the Republican states, where the top officials are Republican that the steel supposedly happened. To pull that off would be a hell of a trick. Change votes under the noses of Republicans? Wow, if the Dems pulled that off they deserve to win elections. The truth is more mundane. winners simply got more votes. Republicans got seats in Congress that Dems thought they were going to win. Biden got more votes than Trump. Simple

It used to be that one could disagree with a political view point – abortion rights, taxes, or proper role of Government AND STILL respect the person with the opposing view. BUT how does one respect someone who believes that space lasers started the California forest fires? or Chickens ate ballots and were then incinerated to cover it up? or that the election was stolen by Democrats in Republican states.? or that Biden is a pedophile? or that prominent movie stars and Democratic leaders are running a pedophile ring out of the basement of a pizza restaurant in Washington DC? and a host of other crazy Qanon statements?
Sorry, those views are just stupid and crazy and people who have such views might as well stick a sign on their forehead saying “I am either dumb or insane or both”. Then there are the media people and politicians who fail to call out such craziness – how can one respect them either.? We lost a lot over the past year. Thousands of lives lost with Covid-19 – thousands of businesses disappeared, truth and facts became fluid if not meaningless. We also lost respect. -
Funny to hear people say the US is not racist. I lived in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, England, France, East Coast USA, West Cost and South USA – traveled the world and believe me racism exists everywhere. It may not be skin color; it can be religion, tribe, nationality or even political view point, whatever. Basically it’s all the same.
People in all four corners of the earth are perfectly capable of looking down on another group – and there are many that do so on a regular basis like it is the natural thing to do. Go to Israel and you will see racism, France the same, China, India, all over Africa and the Americas. No nationality or racial group can claim moral purity – discrimination is everywhere and people die everywhere because of it.

Utah “Republican” Convention. Romney being called a “communist” tells us that this was NOT a Republican convention attended by real Republicans. It was a convention of RINOS who have no idea what the Republican Party has been and actually still should be. The boo people were Trumpian people and had no business attending a Republican Party Convention. All they accomplished was to further the view that the Republican Party has become the party of stupid and give the Democrats more talking points. Watching the Grand Old Party degenerate into this morass of stupidity is disgraceful and shameful. And now they are going after Liz Cheney? what a bunch of idiots. They can call Romney and Cheney or whoever RINOS but it is in fact THEY that are the RINOS.
