    Trump is a liberal loser! He’s running as Republican because his friend Hillary is running as Democrat and he didn’t want to ruin their friendship by taking her nomination!

    Brent Scowcroft, who was national security adviser to two Republican U.S. presidents, on Wednesday endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton for president over Donald Trump, in a snub of the Republican Party’s likely nominee by a prominent member of its security wing.

    He joined a number of well-known Republicans defecting due to the prospect of a Trump presidency, including Richard Armitage, deputy secretary of state under President George W. Bush.

    Armitage gave Clinton, 68, who was secretary of state under Democratic President Barack Obama, his backing last week. Trump “doesn’t appear to be a Republican, he doesn’t appear to want to learn about issues. So, I’m going to vote for Mrs. Clinton,” Armitage told Politico at the time.

    The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Scowcroft’s endorsement of Clinton.

    Trump, 70, who has never held elected office, often boasts on the campaign trail his relative newness to politics, appealing to voters disillusioned by the current political climate.

    Despite that facet of his appeal – which helped Trump beat 16 rivals in the campaign’s primary phase to become his party’s presumptive nominee – establishment Republicans worry that his inexperience and brash style will alienate foreign allies and other international partners.

    “Secretary Clinton shares my belief that America must remain the world’s indispensable leader,” Scowcroft said. “She understands that our leadership and engagement beyond our borders makes the world, and therefore the United States, more secure and prosperous.”

    I agree! We should all vote for Hillary!

    Especially now that there won’t be a federal prosecution!

    After all, she didn’t compromise national security with those emails!

    OR DID SHE?!?

    I didn’t expect anything different with a DemonCrat running the executive branch of government!

    If she becomes Pres., we can now impeach her – like her husband was!

    Trump’s Saddam praise earns bipartisan scorn

    By Nick Gass

    Donald Trump has been lamenting the death of Saddam Hussein for months. On Tuesday, in yet another sign that the general election is less hospitable territory than the Republican primary, his repeated praise of the late Iraqi dictator finally caught up with him.

    Hillary Clinton’s campaign tore into his latest comments, portraying them as only the latest instance of the Manhattan businessman cozying up to tyrants.

    House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who spent part of his morning condemning the Trump campaign’s handling of a social media post he denounced as anti-Semitic, was unequivocal in denouncing the Saddam remarks as well.

    Why do some people vote DemonCrat, no matter what?!?

    From the news at that time:

    “Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday night clarified that she supports the agreement that President Obama’s administration and its world partners have reached with Iran to freeze its nuclear program.

    “I support this agreement because I believe it is the most effective path of all the alternatives available to the U.S. and our partners to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon,” she said.”

    Also destroying Iraq and leaving Iran alone is a very stupid foreign policy!

    From the Jewish Virtual Library:

    “In the years since the war, moreover, neither country has abandoned its dream of dominating the region. While Iraq’s hopes have been severely undermined by United States military action, Iran has been left largely untouched. The United States has included both in its dual containment strategy, but most other nations have ignored American entreaties to impose strict sanctions on Iran. We know from the results of the 1991 Gulf War, U.N. inspections and intelligence that Iraq has still been able to build up its military and pursue a nuclear weapons program. The Iranians have not faced the same scrutiny or constraints as Iraq and undoubtedly have been even more successful in building their military capability, particularly in the area of nonconventional weapons.”

    Health………………

    and who made you the arbiter of which Supreme Court Justice can judge? Your use of the word ‘can’ is just plain wrong. Justice RBG can judge any case that comes before the SCOTUS. Can is a physical ability. As to whether or not RBG should hear/judge a case involving Trump is a different question.

    Personally, I believe RBG has the ability to separate her disdain for Trump from the facts and issues in any case over which she might preside.

    Furthermore, though Trump has many court trials ahead of him involving his associated companies or himself, it is doubtful that any would have issues that could rise to an appeal reaching the SCOTUS. Most are contract issues and it is extremely rare for for decisions in that kind of case to be appealed more than one level above the trial court. In fact Trump has a history of settling most cases rather than enduring a trial complete to verdict and award.

    I did not defend RBG in my post, so calling my defense pathetic is laughable.

    As it happens I agree with her statement about Trump. The wonderful thing about appointed, as opposed to elected judges, is that they don’t have to be muzzled in fear of losing the next election.

    I live and practice in a state where judges (with the exception of provate) are appointed, not elected. They are free to express their opinions without fear of political repercussion.

    The judicial code of ethics deals with times a judge should recuse him/herself from a case. Members of SCOTUS do so when appropriate.

    Me: I am sure you were equally concerned when Oconner admitted that she voted the way she did in Bush v Gore in part because she wanted Bush to choose her successor.

    Anyway, I am quite familiar with the three branches of govt, none of them are supposed to act the way trump does. And frankly, I do not much care how he acts.

    I do find it amusing though that someone who was a democrat until he decided to run against Hillary now draws your unconditional support.

    Indeed, until Hillary embraced Obama, the only person who disliked Obama more than republicans was Hillary, as she felt he stole her job. Trump was pro Hillary so he bashed Obama and the republicans fell in love with him. This is almost too funny.

    The Democrats have failed this country in many ways! Eg. – their support of letting in refugees without a decent vetting process. Also,

    RebYidd: He only ran as Republican because his friend Hillary took Democrat. Now they both win either way because together, they have both major parties.

    Me: It truly is unbelievable. One of the two following statements will be true. 1) Donald Trump is the sole reason that Hillary got elected (because she beats no one else, possibly with the exception of ted cruz, but I do not think she beats him–that trump/cruz were 1 and 2 republicans is unreal), or 2) Donald Trump is the next president. It is mind boggling.

    Health: You make assumptions that are false! I’m only supporting Trump, because he’s presumably running as the Republican candidate. The Democrats have failed this country in many ways….

    Me: No that is exactly my point. You are only supporting Donald Trump because he has the R next to his name. As to Democrats failing this country, again have to disagree on that. Take a look at California’s economy. Now look at Kansas or Louisiana, etc. More importantly, look what happened to the economy under Bush vs what happened under Clinton or Obama.

    And my usual dilemma is gone. The republicans are typically better with the military and protection of Israel but Clinton is better on the middle east then Trump, who literally knows nothing.

    By the way, it would be interesting to see what true fiscal conservatism would look like. But they not really exist in the government. Republicans spend just as much as dems, they just usually spend it on the military, while dems spend it on social issues.

    @Health above. “The democrats have failed this country in many ways” is not a point, it is an opinion. I disagree. As far as your point about the debt, its a little misleading..

    The gross federal debt under Obama — as of April 7, 2015 — is $18.15 trillion. So, while Bush added 5 million, Obama added 8 million, but a lot of that 8 million is due to the economy bush left when he left office. Not to mention inflation and interest distorts the numbers.

    Bottom line, it is true that Obama added debt, but Bush doubled the debt, Obama only added about 1.7 times the debt, so he is arguably on a better pace then bush.

    I dont really feel like i need to answer up to you. you clearly showed how little you know mrs BJJ go learn some more chovos livavos and stop trying to make gayros with no BEIS DIN thats right beis din u were right u dnt need a rabbi u need a BEIS DIN. keeping mitzvos does nothing. in fact a goy that keeps shabbos is chayiv misah!!!!

    How on earth do YOU know that shes shomer torah umtzvos?

    now to talk about bein hazmanim rebbitzin machanech, its acctually not a break its btwn zmanim as it is called, due to the fact that high volume learning cant be done 24/7 by a sane human being. no rebbe will ever tell a bocher to learn a full day on bein hazmanim. in fact its part of the mesorah of the yeshiva system dating years back.

    it sounds to me like ur son or brother nebach didnt plan a bein hazmanim ACTIVITY besides for sedorim in the morning and night, therefore you feel bein hazmanim is wrong and should be taken away. i feel for you may hashem guide your relative to the right mechanech for some help!!

    thanx for your suggestion to do 4 or 5 blatt thats more than we did a whole summer zman. and if mothers would understand that learning is NOT THE SAME AS READING A NOVEL us bouchrim would be able to learn be’iyan!!

    now lets talk about motza sheim ra.

    in shmiras halashon it clearly states that loshon hora about a goy is muter, (although not suggested so that it shouldnt lead to talking about others.)it is no secret that the geirus wasnt good but as u said you need to be a posek to publicise such a thing. but dont worry that was already taken care of by the cheif rabbi of isreal!

    i hope ur suggestion for waiting for the nine days was written by your 3 old son. if a mature adult actually felt it was lashon hora it would have been worded ini a way of “hochiyach tochiyach as amisecha” to try to be mekadesh sheim shamayim and not in a shtuch format. if u dont no what “hochiyach tochiyach” is, than ask whoever gave you the advice about how much bouchrim should be learning to help you.

    good night please dont be upset. this is not meant to anger anyone

    rather i feel i must protect the yeshiva system that wasa under attack by unqualified indivisuals!!

    “Rabbi Moshe Feinstein makes it clear that they need not be rabbis, though it’s expected that someone knowledgeable put some serious thought into: “is this person sincere in their commitment? Do they understand what they’re getting into? And is the Jewish people better off with the addition of this person”

    Excerpt from “Final Days, Awful Choice” By Charles Krauthammer:

    At a time of such tectonic instability, even the most experienced head of state requires wisdom and delicacy to maintain equilibrium. Trump has neither. His joining of supreme ignorance to supreme arrogance, combined with a pathological sensitivity to any perceived slight, is a standing invitation to calamitous miscalculation.

    It took seven decades to build this open, free international order. It could be brought down in a single presidential term. That would be a high price to pay for the catharsis of kicking over a table.
