Former President Donald Trump told a Jewish group on Thursday that Israel will be "wiped off the face of the Earth" if he doesn't win in November.

    This fucking guy. I hope he gets soundly defeated in November and I never have to hear or read about some dumb shit he said ever again.

      You’re making a mistake.

      He’s not the disease, he’s only a symptom of something we’re otherwise able to ignore.

      There are vast oceans of his supporters who love him because he “tells it like it is”, ie he helps them speak more openly about their own bigotry.

      Trump going away will only give us someone else, and honestly, they’ll probably be moderately competent.

      Trump is a godsend, because he is so absolutely, perfectly stupid and incompetent, a real operator would be devastating. Use this opportunity to gain resistance to their form of plague before it’s too late.

        He’s shingles.

        Yeah, the US had the disease pretty bad when it was young. And, it’s laid dormant in the nervous system for years. Some stress and poor health habits have allowed it to rise to the surface.

        It won’t ever go away entirely but better habits and self-care can keep it away indefinitely.

          Caveat: you can’t blame people who get shingles for being sick.

            Stress is often a trigger for instance, that’s usually caused by other people.

              Yes, but they are far from 100% effective.

                Ah, OK. I thought at least when innoculated as a child they were extremely (99.9+%) effective, and assumed it was similar as an adult.

                Looking it up, I see I was wrong. It’s pretty good, but WAY lower than I thought.

          That’s it, with the caveat that people usually don’t die of shingles.

            Not usually. But, untreated shingles can lead to complications that can kill you (infections, stroke, meningitis, encephalitis, etc.).

      I would personally enjoy the only article about him ever reaching headline status again being his obituary.

      But we all know that even if he loses he will try and run again if he isn’t locked up. He will cry about stolen elections til the day he dies. Even of the Republican leaders try to divorce themselves from him, he will run independent. And a significant amount of the maga movement will follow him there.

        Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but with the amount he seems to have declined in the last few years both physically and mentally, I can’t imagine he will be capable in any capacity of running again.

          I agree, but I also thought so 8 years ago.

          Man, so much faith in so many things lost in 8 years…

          Edit: like, I thought - apparently completely mistakenly - that even if we disagreed on a lot of things, the majority of Republican voters had some form of morals that they followed, some amount of integrity. Fucking sucks that they absolutely don’t.

    Trump, pictured here endorsing a self-described “black Nazi,” implicitly threatened a room of Jewish people with genocide if they didn’t support him.

          He kind of always looks that way though. He’s got such an expressionless face. I have seen him smile and frown, but most of the time, it’s sort of that vacant expression that could mean anything. Resting nothing face?

            He doesn’t believe in smiling because he thinks smiling means you don’t look cool.

    Of course he’s targeting Jews. Shit like this is why I’m sympathetic to the concept of Israel despite condemning all ethnostates.
