monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

"oralloy" is a self-proclaimed Einstein

assumes that his brilliance excuses him from meeting normal standards of rational discourse.

We're lucky to have him here.

It has been my experience that anyone who uses the term "self-loathing Jew" to describe a Jewish person not aligned with Likud or other right wing policies and values (which is the only context where I've ever seen the term used) is probably someone not worth engaging. Just my personal opinion.

I'm so lucky in this that I became tired of all the lucky and had to put him on ignore, not being able to withstand the avalanche of good fortune pouring over me.

He is very Trump like, repeating the same mindless things over and over instead of addressing the facts.

No, it really doesn't sound like that at all. We've had some good exchanges although I get the feeling that he is replying pretty much by rote, especially with regard to 2nd Amendment issues. But hell, I'm sure we've all fallen back on well-worn humorless talking points on occasion.

I was disappointed in his characterization of Yonotan Shapira as a "self-hating Jew" and a "Nazi", though.

I guess this is a typical attack line used by Likudniks, as President Trump’s nominee to be ambassador to Israel, David M. Friedman, had to apologize for a similar characterization during the campaign:

Quote:

Mr. Friedman came under fire last year for an op-ed he wrote for the website of Arutz Sheva, an Israeli media organization, in which he said supporters of the liberal Jewish lobbying organization J Street were “far worse than kapos,” referring to the Jews who cooperated with the Nazis.

I'm sure it's just that he dislikes dishonest people.

I know he did. But had no realistic way of achieving 1% of what he (and you and I) might want.

I have to say that I have read his posts, and yours. The feigning most assuredly hasn't been from him.

You never addressed the facts from FEMA, the facts about and from NIST, the facts from the videos, the facts from the USGS, the facts from RJ Lee Group, the facts from ... .

Casting a multibillionaire like DeVos with her family and political history as one of the African American children being protected so they could enter a newly integrated school is about as far away from a moral parallel of unjust victimization and marginalization as one might imagine.

Please, you are making a right fool of yourself. You are a sad caricature of a loony right winger.

There is more in his greetings than there is in the sum total of all the posts of yours I've read.
