Anything the Democrats Touch Gets Worse

C’mon, it took you this long to realize this?? This has been obvious for over half a century, already.

Under Biden we have:
Additional Child credit helping hundreds of frum families.
Additional health insurance premium support that helps hundreds of frum families.
Additional security funding helping many of our mosdos stay safe.
Record real estate values helping the many homeowners and investors in our kehillos.
Record stock market valuations helping many investors in our community.
Additional funding for Iron Dome helping to enhance Israel’s security.
Five million new jobs created.
Record bipartisan infrastructure bill likely to pass bringing much-needed improvements to America’s roads and bridges necessary to keep our country competitive.

Under Trump we have:
Neo-Nazi’s proudly marching in Charlottesville.
Shootings at synagogues in Pittsburgh and Poway.
Racial tensions and racial violence in American cities.
Trump supporters storming the Capitol.
Iran greatly increasing its uranium production and reducing its nuclear breakout time.
The longest government shut down in US history.
Ballooning and out of control deficit.
Pressuring of Georgia Republican state officials to overturn an election.

crazykanoi, you are seeing the trees and not the forest. All this government “help” is coming from middle-income earners taxes. America is on the path to becoming the second Venezuela by stealing from the people to pay the people…how ingenious….

And about Trump you are really trying to pin stuff on him that’s has nothing to do with him. Besides for the deficit. But if that’s a point you want to make a out him, the DemoRats are a trillion times worse. 3.5 trillion dollars worse, in fact.

crazykanoi listed all things that were done by Trump (thus “additional” in every line), except the infrastructure bill that did not pass yet, may be a waste of money, may be coupled with a bigger waste of money, and was somehow not of interest to Dems when Trump was the President.

Also, could someone clarify re:security – I’ve seen lots of funds going to private school during 2020 relief but my impression was that in 2021 a lot of funds are restricted to public schools. Didn’t look carefully, though.

To a blind person light is darkness

Ubiquitin, no way, are you actually defending crt? You don’t know what it’s truly about because if you do and are still defending it still then…I don’t want to write the adjectives I have currently running through my mind.

Actually, malaise works wirelessly, he does not even need to touch anything. Markets, allies, and adversaries all change their behaviors with expectations of your behavior. Companies stop investing in energy or in general expecting taxes and rule changes (happens right now), allies do not expect your help and look elsewhere, adversaries anticipate your reaction (Iran, Crimea)

I think there is a large difference between acknowledging the existence of racism and making that the focal point of our historical attention and I think CRT takes it too far. I think your emphasis on ‘part’ is warranted. I also think the vast majority of CRT theorists would disagree.

Not everything on my list is Trump’s fault. I completely agree with that. My point is that so too not everything on the anti-Biden list is Biden’s fault. It is time to move past the asinine and petty remarks that have come to define our political discourse.

Under Trump crime skyrocketed throughout America but of course, there are other factors out of Trump’s control that must be considered and the same applies to Biden.

To claim that when Trump negotiates with the Taliban, cuts out the Afghan government, and does not insist on enforcing agreeable benchmarks he is somehow making America stronger but when Biden carries out that agreement he is solely to blame for making America weaker is simply absurd.

To claim that when Trump publicly states that he has fallen in love with a murderous despot and salutes North Korean officers he is enhancing America’s global standing but when Obama bows to a Saudi Royal he is undermining it is equally ridiculous.

To scream “Venezuela” when Biden opens the spigots of government largesse but then look the other way or yell “MAGA” when Trump costs the Republicans the Senate by publicly feuding with McConnell and insisting on untargeted $2000 checks for all is pure hypocrisy.

There is good and bad on both sides. Childish unintelligent comments such as “Anything the Democrats Touch Gets Worse” and ‘This has been obvious for over half a century” should have no place among a tzibur that is supposed to be an “am chacham vnavan”

We are not Republicans or Democrats, Conservatives or Liberals. We are Yidden. When we invest ourselves so thoroughly in one political camp that we reflexively lash out against the other side as if it is a personal affront or religious obligation to do so we have crossed the line. Republicanism is not our religion.

CK -“Under Trump crime skyrocketed throughout America but of course, there are other factors out of Trump’s control that must be considered and the same applies to Biden.”

It’s true, but it’s not true that it’s not Biden fault!
The inner cities are under DemonCrat control – so it has nothing to do with Trump.
OTOH, Biden is the Leader of the DemonCrat party.
This party is very lax on Crime & Punishment.
They make every excuse for Criminals – Critical Race Theory is one of them!

“To claim that when Trump negotiates with the Taliban, cuts out the Afghan government, and does not insist on enforcing agreeable benchmarks he is somehow making America stronger”

Another lie!
When Biden did the terrible removal of the troops, Trump was interviewed.
He said the agreement with the Taliban was kept.
We kept our part and they kept theirs.
Why – he said?
Because they knew, if they didn’t, he’d bomb and inflict major damage on them!

I provided a definition, if you don’t like it that’s fine.

DBS
ok

“Stop lying!”
Ok I won’t. you don’t have to listen to me If you don’t believe me that Trump started empowering the Taliban Listen to the guy who wrote this “He made a deal with them – they were getting what they wanted and the US wasn’t being attacked.” See I’m not the only one who thinks that one of your personalities does too.

“Obviously you don’t understand what it is.”
I provided a defitnion. If you don;t like it you are free to provide your own

Ubiquitin, was that a passive-aggressive ‘okay’? I honestly couldn’t tell 😅

“High inflation -started under Trump“

From CNBC

“ To be sure, inflation has been low for a long time, said Christine Benz, head of personal finance at Morningstar.”

DBS

I’m not sure how okay could be “aggressive” Passive sure. you asked a question to satisfy your curiosity I answered . Thats it. If you have a follow up question, ‘d be happy to answer that too.

you said a large majority of CRT theorists would disagree. Ok, they can disagree. I don’t have to answer for them, nor am I empowered to do so.

Phil

“your “definition” by quoting Wikipedia is naive.”
nu nu so change Wikipedia to a defitnion that fits your preconceived scary view that’s your right.. With your super scary sinister definition of CRT, I might not support it. I’m going with the current definition as supplied there and here

Ubiquitin, an official definition, from Wikipedia or from a different source, is not what defines the CRT. The actual subject material tuaght is what defines CRT.

Let’s be real, Biden is a clown. He can’t speak properly and world leaders are not scared of him. He makes America look weak

Ubiq -“Ok I won’t. you don’t have to listen to me If you don’t believe me that Trump started empowering the Taliban Listen to the guy who wrote this “He made a deal with them – they were getting what they wanted and the US wasn’t being attacked.” See I’m not the only one who thinks that one of your personalities does too.”

Maybe you have different personalities – I don’t!
You didn’t even understand my post.
I agreed that Trump empowered the Taliban, but it was conditional.
That’s why I wrote this this -“He made a deal with them – they were getting what they wanted and the US wasn’t being attacked.”

What deal did Biden make?
“Give me a few days so I can Hi- tale it out of here.
Ok, I’ll let you kill a Few Americans to make you look good.”

The second half

“Critical race theorists hold that racism is inherent in the law and legal institutions of the United States insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans. Critical race theorists are generally dedicated to applying their understanding of the institutional or structural nature of racism to the concrete (if distant) goal of eliminating all race-based and other unjust hierarchies.”

Is one I support completely.

The first half I don’t understand so much

“I agreed that Trump empowered the Taliban”

Fantastic!
Shalom al yisroel that’s exactly what I said

Phil
“The actual subject material tuaght is what defines CRT.”

1. I’m not sure that’s true. For example chemistry has a definition. If I call alchemy chemistry and you don’t want my alchemy taught in schools . Thst doesn’t mean you are opposed to chemistry. You don’t think alchemy is chemistry. Just because sone person is teaching something g and kabeks it “crt” dies t mean thsts what crt is
2. Nu so actual subject matter that you disagree with.

BTW this whole thread has gone off the, rails a bit I don’t think I can convince you to support crt. That was never my intention. Hopefully you can see why it isn’t all inherently bad. Ķwhich is what the op implied) to thst end I’m happy to answer specific questions, but don’t want to get to caught up in moving goal posts.

Wow, I can’t believe that frum Jews would support crt. Besides that it’s all about profit for those behind the push to teach this garbage in schools , it divides people and races by saying that whites are inherintly racist. It also places mixed race individuals in akward positions in the way they relate to themselves and their families. Many blacks have come out against crt, they say they are not victims, which is the truth, blacks today can have any job and work in any sector. Systemic racism against blacks is a false narrative.

As a Jew, I experienced racism from some blacks, how about we make classes to teach about black racism towards Jews. I know there are many of them who don’t like Jews, let’s teach in schools about how blacks are inherintely racist…

America is going down because of this leftist stupidity. In the end we will all pay because of all of this garbage. But no matter how bad the leftists make the US, they insist on wearing blinders.

The only serious actual racists today are the racists promoting crt.

They want blacks to remain outside the American body politic and stuck in inner city wastelands and to do that they promote the feeling of victimhood despair and anger against whites to ensure that blacks never even attampt to better their situation.

Any intelligent person with the slightest bit of logical reasoning or critical thinking, who has actually done serious research into crt will quickly see an inane amount of logical inconsistencies and holes in the reasoning from beginning to end. It’s unbelievably dumb. Funnily enough, this actually creates a sort of paradox in that according to their beliefs, whites view members of other races as lesser, primarily in areas pertaining to intelligence. After doing some research, it was CRT itself which gave me reason to believe that this (that blacks are less intelligent), might actually be true! Certainly the people who came up with it were. Or maybe they were actually geniuses because they realized that by propagating this manure, they would be able to get away with pretty much anything…

I’m not just spouting what I heard from other people, I did the research because of all the hype that was going on about it and @ubiquitin, I suggest you do the same. If you’d like I can try and post some of the source material I used, but unless you have an agenda, you should be able to come to these conclusions simply by reading the original source material from the theory’s founders, and they were written years before it was twisted into something way worse by the morons of today.

I don’t see why everyone is getting so worked up about CRT, it’s not being taught in OUR schools. No matter who where or when we will have racists. Racist whites who will shoot up shuls, and racist blacks who will shoot up stores and beat people up. WAKE UP (no pun intended) we’re in galus arguing about the supposed racism in our HOST country maybe we should focus on davening and learning and ranting about other stuff on the CR.

To philosop: I am a left-leaning Democrat. Who are you to call me a pervert? And what have I ever advocated that would make me a pervert?

Based upon your post, I would suggest you are supremely rude.

huju, based on your post you do not know what left-leaning Democrats support. They support teaching kids in school about transgender and sex education. They promote pornographic material in school and spread all kinds of perverted material for class review.

This is what they are currently teaching in public schools run by left-leaning Democrats. If you support this then you are a pervert. If you don’t support this then your not a left-leaning Democrat and shouldn’t call yourself as such.

huju, I have responded earlier but the mods may not want to post it as I’ve described in detail the left-leaning Democrat agenda. If they do post it later then this will be a repeat in different words.

The left-leaning Democrats are promoting an agenda of immorality through propaganda in the mainstream media, social media and entertainment industry. But worse than that is that they have infiltrated public schools across the US and are brainwashing kids with their perverted material under the guise of education.

I would hope that you don’t support this and if you takeh don’t then don’t call yourself a “left-leaning Democrat” because this is who they are; total and complete perverts preying on innocent children.
