A marvelous Sarte quote included in Doug Mudder's "The Weekly Sift" today. Apt for the irrational right on many matters, in addition to anti-semitism:
Quote:
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
Anti-semitism had come up, BTW, in reference to Trump's bit where he asks "Jack Smith. Does anyone know what his name used to be?" It is interpreted as being coded anti-semitism, the suggestion being that a Jewish name was changed.

Today is arraignment day for The Orange Menace. The second one in the last three months. Does that make him a (a)raign man? Rain-man - (a)raign man, get it?

After all the big talk, trump and Nauta were quietly booked ahead of their 3pm schedule.
Don the Con will have face justice now, though it will be moderated by a Todie MAGAt. Interesting to see if she runs interference on the presentation of evidence or worse yet, testimonies. It was 90 deg F outside the courthouse and probably 100% humidity.

Silly boy, they're both the same. No difference, no difference at all.

Someone shared: How are deleted Hillary Clinton emails different from documents kept by Trump? https://abc3340.com/news/americas-ne...ony-indictment
