What a shit! I swear I can’t be surprised and generally ignore his antics but there’s always another, scummier, act.

      IKR. It’s incorrigible, but it’s 100% on-brand. Ask anyone, “do you think Trump would steal ancient israeli artifacts from the whitehouse?”. Absolutely yes, that is exactly what Trump would do given the opportunity.

      That said, I don’t feel very sorry for the Israeli’s, they were just trying to suck up, Trump reciprocated with some incendiary statements in support of Israel IIRC, so it just sucks to be them really.

          ” The lamps were lent to the white house in 2019, before Trump took office.

          What? He took office in January 2017.

          ISRAEL LENT SEVERAL antiquities to the White House in 2019, including ancient clay lamps for a White House Hanukkah event. Unfortunately, Donald Trump was president at the time, which means the artifacts are now at Mar-a-Lago, and Israel can’t figure out how to get them back, Haaretz reported on Tuesday.

            Don’t, just don’t engage, you’ll end up arguing why trump couldn’t have written the constitution while single handedly defeating the nazis who weren’t actually that bad, just misunderstood.

            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.

            Just change anti-semite in this case to whatever the fuck redhats are now.

              Wow, I made a dumb, tired mistake regarding the year that Trump took office and now I’m an anti-semite? I don’t see how you can even make that leap, even though the subject had to do with Iseael. I wasn’t defending him, in fact, my mistaken comment was intended to point out that his actions were even worse.

              I’m not a Trumper and am certainly not an anti-semite. Don’t throw around accusations like that so casually. It’s dangerous for many reasons.
