April 6, 2021 6:54 pm at 6:54 pm in reply to: Do our eyes tell us what happened to GEORGE FLOYD #1962858DovidBTParticipant
I’ve been watching the trial.
Multiple Minneapolis police supervisors have testified that placing a detainee in the prone (face-down) position on the ground, with his arms handcuffed behind his back, makes it hard for him to breathe, and that the detainee should be moved onto his side, or into a seated or standing position, as soon as possible. There’s also been testimony that all Minneapolis police officers, including Chauvin, know that through their training.
And multiple police body cam videos show that the detainee was held in that prone, handcuffed position for nine minutes, even after he became unresponsive.
The defense hasn’t started its case yet, though.
DovidBTParticipantThe American version is having a lot of money.
March 22, 2021 2:38 pm at 2:38 pm in reply to: Biden calls his second-in-command ‘President Harris’ #1959619DovidBTParticipantIt’s impressive that he can remember her last name.
DovidBTParticipantBusinesses locate where there are customers.
DovidBTParticipantwhat about the 7 RINOS
They were probably afraid of alienating too many of their voters unless they joined the Democrats’ propaganda campaign.
DovidBTParticipantHe is also two faced, a liar and not to be trusted
That applies to almost every Democratic politician, including Sleepy Joe, Kahmahlah, Obama and the Clintons.
DovidBTParticipantIf it weren’t supposed to be discussed, there wouldn’t be a whole Talmud tractate about it.
DovidBTParticipantDon’t forget the crime of the century, the guy who put his feet on Pelosi’s desk.
He truly deserves life imprisonment.The worst punishment possible would be to lock him in a room for a month and make him watch Pelosi’s speeches 24 hours a day.
DovidBTParticipantThe Democratic party has no rational platform. All they can do is convince people to support them out of hatred for the Republican party.
Once President Trump is out of office, they’ll lose their scapegoat.
DovidBTParticipantI’m not American, so as a somewhat objective outsider, in my humble observation, the media reaction to the incident on the Capitol has been a ridiculous unprecedented tirade of anti-Trump propaganda. And the hypocrisy, by comparing their reaction to the beyond-comparison more violent riots over the last year, is outrageously astonishing.
That’s absolutely correct.
The Democratic “leaders” expressing outrage over the incident are ultra-hypocrites. They’ve been encouraging violent street rioting for years, including burning buildings, looting businesses and attacking the police. If anyone in authority deserves blame for the attack on the Capitol, they do.
President Trump has consistently advocated for law and order and the arrest and prosecution of criminals.
DovidBTParticipantI use a hair trimmer for shaving.
DovidBTParticipantA President who says what he really thinks has been a refreshing change from the usual many-faced politicians.
DovidBTParticipantPesachim 112b suggests that having a cat is protection from snakes.
DovidBTParticipantWe trust doctors/scientists since Rav Sherira Gaon over a thousand years go.
And that’s why no one has ever filed a malpractice lawsuit, and that’s why all scientists agree on everything.
DovidBTParticipantIf the vaccine works, it won’t be necessary for 100% of the people to take it. As long as enough people take it, it will stop the pandemic.
What I’m wondering is, how do we know there won’t be serious side-effects that only show up after a few years? I guess we have to trust the medical experts on that.
DovidBTParticipantRudy – Hand recounts will not change anything
Powell – The computer system counting the votes changed the numbers
Explain how these two positions are consistent.The Giuliani/Powell press conference described different instances of fraud that occurred. One kind involved misusing voting machines, which could be resolved by a manual recount. Another kind involved accepting fraudulent mail-in ballots, which would not be resolved by recounting the (fraudulent) ballots.
DovidBTParticipantThere’s nothing wrong with voting by mail, provided that there are adequate safeguards in place to prevent abuse.
Mass-mailing unsolicited ballots to everyone is obviously ripe for abuse.
In Florida, any registered voter can request a vote-by-mail ballot, for any reason. But there are safeguards at both ends (requesting the ballot and processing a received ballot).
DovidBTParticipantThat’s why I can tell him.
+1November 10, 2020 12:30 pm at 12:30 pm in reply to: Could someone explain it to a non American please…? #1918532DovidBTParticipantIf the legislatures of the states certify a winner, the courts will be loathe to set those certifications aside.
Are the states free to establish their own rules, or do they have to follow federal rules? For example, if a state chose to decide the winner of an election by flipping a coin, or if they let dogs vote, does the federal government have to accept that?
November 10, 2020 11:34 am at 11:34 am in reply to: Could someone explain it to a non American please…? #1918507DovidBTParticipantThe new President to be needs to receive intelligence briefings
It’s an oxymoron to have a reference to Biden and “intelligence” in the same sentence.
November 8, 2020 11:44 am at 11:44 am in reply to: Could someone explain it to a non American please…? #1917795DovidBTParticipantFor a long time the media have been treating elections like sports events.
Within a few months after this election is definitively over, they’ll get bored and start talking about the 2024 election.DovidBTParticipantyou cannot daven for having more vote after an election…
But there are still votes remaining to be counted. And investigations may reveal that many of the already counted votes are fraudulent. There’s nothing wrong with davening for a favorable outcome in those cases.
DovidBTParticipantThe election isn’t over, in spite of what the media are saying. Stay tuned.
November 5, 2020 12:20 am at 12:20 am in reply to: Finding out who won the presidential election 2020 #1916968DovidBTParticipantI just read the following:
After states certify their results, the electors of the Electoral College will convene on Dec. 14 in their respective states to cast one ballot for president and one for vice president.
Those results are then delivered to the Capitol, where on Jan. 6, 2021, the Senate and House of Representatives will meet for a joint session in the House chamber to count the electoral votes.
When the votes have been counted and one ticket has received a majority of 270 or more electoral votes, the vice president, who presides as president of the Senate, will announce the results.
DovidBTParticipantYou could chew on small pieces of soft wood.
November 1, 2020 4:11 pm at 4:11 pm in reply to: Halachic Ramifications of Killing Whilst in the Military #1915700DovidBTParticipantenlisting voluntarily in the army.
If you enlist in the U.S. military, you have to abandon a lot of halachah, including Shabbos observance.
November 1, 2020 12:17 pm at 12:17 pm in reply to: character vs policy Which is more important? #1915635DovidBTParticipantWhenever i hear democrats-and even never trump conservatives bash trump, its always attacks on his character (with exception for the few delusional ones who wanna somehow blame trump for covid). This baffles me.
They’ve been attacking President Trump since the 2016 election, using any means available. They don’t use logic, because they have no logical arguments.
DovidBTParticipantAmazon sells trash bags in lots of colors: black, white, red, blue, yellow, green.
DovidBTParticipant@CTLAWYER
You’ve posted before that you like the ACA because it costs you less. That’s because other people are subsidizing your medical expenses, which you can well afford to pay yourself.DovidBTParticipant@RebEliezer
Google it yourself.DovidBTParticipantIt would be hard to force equal time standards on private media sites.
But they should lose the protections given by Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934, so that they’re not immune from being sued.
The President and Congress have been trying to do that.
DovidBTParticipantWhat does “unzere” mean?
October 21, 2020 10:26 pm at 10:26 pm in reply to: Still Convinced Biden is the Real Dem Presidential Nominee #1912451DovidBTParticipantIf you roll a barrel down a hill with two idiots inside, which one will end up on top? Who cares?
DovidBTParticipant@Benephraim
What are the alternatives to BDB and Jastrow? (for a BT without formal Jewish education)DovidBTParticipant@Reb Eliezer
Thanks. I thought I had looked for that one earlier in BDB and Jastrow. In any case, it’s there now.DovidBTParticipantWhen I first saw the word ANTIFA, I though it meant “Anti First Amendment”. Which is actually accurate.
DovidBTParticipantWhat about at a protest?
Or at Fillmore Avenue and Marine Parkway, at the Marine Park basketball court? That was in the Oct. 15 YWN article yesterday, titled “GLARING DOUBLE STANDARD: No Enforcement In Non-Jewish “Red Zone” In Brooklyn”.
DovidBTParticipantWhoever registered the domain antifa DOT com configured it to redirect to joebiden DOT com.
I did a WHOIS on it, but it uses a privacy service to conceal the actual domain name owner.It’s very easy to do. I could register a domain named famous-pork-recipes DOT com and redirect it to theyeshivaworld DOT com.
DovidBTParticipantThe “white supremacist issue” is a liberal invention. White supremacists don’t care about Torah-observant Jews. They hate the liberals who are trying force everyone to accept their viewpoints on affirmative action aka diversity, same-sex marriage, abortion on demand, etc. Liberal Jews are at the forefront of that movement, and that is why white supremacists hate Jews. If they attack an Orthodox synagogue, it’s only because it’s a conspicuous target.
DovidBTParticipant@Yechi Hamelech
One of those people favors the President who maximizes his bank account, and the other makes provocative posts just for the sake of starting arguments. It’s pointless to get involved in political discussions with them.
DovidBTParticipantThat is a lie. Real conservatives, and moderate liberals, don’t shout, “Jews Will Not Replace Us”. And contrary to Trump, people who shout that are not “very fine people”.
The issue was not about Jews or white supremacists. It was about the leftist activists attempting to erase history by renaming parks and schools and removing statues. The conservatives and moderate liberals who opposed that process were not the ones doing the offensive chanting. The fact that the dispute attracted white supremacists did not mean that the side that they were supporting was wrong. To state otherwise is an example of the classic guilt-by-association fallacy.
Only self-hating assimilated Jews who have turned their backs on Torah could ever support Trump.
That would be a true statement if you replace “Trump” with “Biden”.
DovidBTParticipantThey don’t, they are doctors and I am not it seems to be a matter of class.
That’s true. Not all employees in a hospital are on the same level. Doctors are at the top of the hierarchy.
DovidBTParticipantHow do the bearded Sikh doctors deal with the N95 mask requirement?
DovidBTParticipantIf you want to understand what happened in Charlottesville, VA, in 2017, you have to go back read the local newspapers for the last few years.
For example, read about the city manager at the time, whose previous job was the sports reporter for the local TV station.
His subordinate, the chief of police, specifically instructed the police to “let them fight”, i.e. let the protestors and counter-protestors fight without interfering. This was confirmed by an independent study commissioned by the city council. When the study was published, the chief of police immediately resigned.
The whole mess was started by two members of the city council deciding on their own to start removing historical statues and renaming local parks. This action was taken without any kind of public referendum.
The “both sides have good people” remark was true. It was an ultra-liberals vs. conservatives issue. The white supremacists happened to be on the same side as the conservatives and moderate liberals; that didn’t invalidate that point of view.
DovidBTParticipantIn my opinion, the debates aren’t going to accomplish anything, because the only people watching have already decided who they’re voting for.
Debates are useful when the candidates have only minor differences on issues, and use the debate to clarify their stances. That’s not the case in this election.
I think that President Trump should have spent his time listing what’s he accomplished, instead of arguing with Biden. But he knows a lot more about how to get elected and how to do his job than I do, so I’m not really qualified to criticize him.
September 30, 2020 10:31 am at 10:31 am in reply to: Joe Biden seemed to be using some sort of earpiece during the debate #1905725DovidBTParticipantBiden actually has experience and skill as a good debater.
His weakness is that he has no good positions on issues.
If a qualified person had been feeding him answers through an earpiece, he would have had better answers.
September 26, 2020 8:49 pm at 8:49 pm in reply to: NON CORONA TOPIC: Why would anyone voted Biden #1904890DovidBTParticipantBut that is not a real answer. It is a generic one.
It’s a true answer, and the only one that matters.
September 25, 2020 12:52 pm at 12:52 pm in reply to: NON CORONA TOPIC: Why would anyone voted Biden #1904650DovidBTParticipantIf you are voting for Trump, can you give some real reasons based on real life?
His predecessor, Obama, spent eight years doing his best to flush America down the toilet. If Clinton had won the 2016 election, she would have continued doing the same. If Biden wins the 2020 election, he will do the same.
President Trump has done an excellent job of undoing his predecessor’s misguided and disastrous policies. He was the right man for the job, and the right man to spend another four years doing the job.
DovidBTParticipantIf the House wants to make AOC the Speaker, that’s perfect. It will accelerate the demise of her ridiculous Party.
DovidBTParticipantSocial media doesn’t really do anything differently from the regular world.
The difference is that anyone with fingers can instantly broadcast nonsense to the world.
