They check how many votes are still left to be counted and what is the statistical trend in the area. If the state has a majority for one candidate, the number of electoral votes is accumulated for that candidate. The total required is 270 to win which is the majority of the total electors of 538 comprising of the number of the senators and legistlators in Congress. If there is a split of 269, the House of Representatives will decide the result. This is called The Electoral College appointed by legislature of each state. Usually the electors vote in December according to the majority of each state.
Obama invited Trump to the WH and was graceful to him discscussing all impotant transition considerations but Trump was out in his whole presidential term to dismantle all his accomplishments including the ACA.
Currently the Republicans (conservatives) advocate state rights limiting the federal government whereas the Democrats (liberals) are more for a central government. Trump passed COVID management to the states which created all kinds of travel state interaction problems.
There was an argument between the large states which held that population should determine representation and the small states who wanted equal representation, so the Great Compromise was born having two houses, one equal (2) representation and the other represented by population.
Ben Levi, the sharing of power between the central government (federal) and the states is called federalism. The civil war came out because of states wanted to secede from the union unwilling to follow the central government.
This is called representative democracy. Pure democracy was where everyone of a town voted for every bill.
What will be the refuah?
Look at Rashi Shmuel (1,2,5) on rabas bonim umlalah about the children of Penina worse than what I said above.
1, what you say is a lie. As Sam Klein says, everything is the hands of Hashem, so nothing bad will happen.
abukspan, We find a similar idea by Penina, where she might have forced Chanah to daven for a child for an honorable reason but she caused anguish to her This got her punished not having any more children. Maybe Penina could have accomplished her purpose in a different fashion.
I think that my translation above is correct. The meaning of kushta means right not truth, because if it means truth, why should Sarah Imenu not be afraid?
The Targum Yonathan translates (18,15) Sarah denied saying, I was not wondering (not laughing) because she was afraid. Answered the Malach, don’t be afraid because you were right to laugh. I think she felt that she was not worthy for a great miracle like that to have a womb implanted.
That is the meaning of vaani zokanti, I have become old, referring to Hashem.
The Yaaros Devash has a cute pshat. Hashem reveals himself to one being able to recognize it in a form that indicates if a miracle will happen. At Kabolas Hatorah, He showed Himself as an elderly, creating no open miracle whereas by the Yam Suf as a Gibor, One with Strength, indicating that an open miracle will happen. Sarah Imenu saw kavayochel Hashem as a zaken, elderly, indicating to her that no open miracle will occur. Since she had no womb to bear a child, she laughed. So the name over here refers to Hashem and not to master or her husband.
I like gherkins.
The Shlah Hakadash says our forefathers are mentioned in the tochacha, vezocharti es brisi yaakov, to make us realize that having great forefathers and not following them makes it worse.
I don’t trust them as Iran violated its treaty. If they have a beneficial opportunity to violate the treaty, they will.
His advisor is Scot Atlas who pushes herd immunity. He wants to fire Fauci who disagrees with it. He has not shown by any means how sadly and badly he feels for over 230,000 deaths. He has the rallies without any protection. My friend around my age just passed away from COVID so I am not in the mood to discuss this.
Is Israel against Israel by allowing to sell F-35s to the UAE?
When using a small ‘g’ referring to G-d, you are referring to an idol ch’v.
When it comes to abortion or same gender relationships there is an option of not follow it, but the one contrubutes to the deaths of more than 230,000 people and wanting to fire who wants to stop it, rather advocatiing the stupid idea of herd immunity which will kill an enornous more peole and violating the principle of the Torah, pikuach nefesh supersedes everything, violates the prohibition of lo saamod al dam reacha and he not be voted for.
Should be above Hashem.
Trump advocating the stupid idea of herd immunity which will end up killing an enormous amount of more people, should not be followed as this violates the Torah, where pikuach nefesh supersedes everything, violates the prohibition of lo saamod al dam reacha and we should therefore not vote for him.
Can someone explain to me how Trump gets compared to Avraham, who came on his own to recognize Hashen and showed caring for every human being even pleading for Sedom, compared to Trump who contributed to death of 230,000 Americans and does not care about peoples economic suffering?
Wolf, אין אדם משים עצמו רשע, a person should not consider himself wicked because he will feel that he is not worthy to do teshuva. Look up the Kitzur SA 26 who says that following a good custom of the niftar is more important than saying Kaddish.
common saychal, use your saychal. Violating shabbos in public is worse being lehachis but doing it hidden is done letaovan. Trump is publicizing his own bad behavior which is lehachis whereas Clinton did it hidden publicized from the outside, doing it letaovan which can be forgiven. Lehachis is on purpose, to upset the authority whereas letaovan is an attraction or desire.
Syag, when it comes to Trump, the playboy, I would not talk about adultery.
besalel, see what I wrote why Trump should be winning at https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/trump-winning
One doctor said that if one is quarantined should be paid by the government for his/her salary but we should avoid lockdowns by proper social distancing, mask wearing and hand washing,
Maybe people who are for Trump should elect a robot next time who also has no empathy and no feelings and can institute good policies.
President Clinton created close to 23 million jobs whereas Trump is now in the negative for neglecting the corinavirus. By advocating herd immunity, he is contributing to people dying. Syag lechochma is shtika, If I were you, I would be silent. Feel enbarrassed for yourself. I justified my views about publicizing bad behavior making it lehachis and be proud of it, bringing out our worst instincts.
We forgive Clinton’s faults because of the great economy he created but what has Trump done to America besides the deficit and division?
The fact is that Trump releases peoples animal instincts as the cat and mouse mashel. A cat was taught by a king’s minister to eat with a knife and fork. At the test a mouse showed up and the cat forgot all its teachings and went after the mouse following its natural animal instincts.
The Baal Akeda includes in idol worship the worship of money which certainly Trump is guilty of.
A person who fires his best advisors who don’t agree with him because he thinks he knows everything better than anyone else is bound to falter.
So both character and policy are bad.
Should be above, Trump publicizes his own bad behavior and being proud of it.
Trump only cares for himself, so there is no hakoras hatov as it was for Og who saved Lot for his own benefit in order that Avraham Avinu get killed and be able to marry Sarah.
Read Rav Shafran’s Open Letter on his website.
Biden will work on downplayed coronavirus which will automatically improve the economy. The borders will be protected through technology rather than the wall. The second amendment is being used in polling places to intimidate voters. Biden will cut taxes for the middle class making less than $400,000. He can continue middle east peace negotiations. Trump with his corporate tax cut created the biggest deficit such that money is unavaible for coronavirus relief causing small businesses to go bankrupt. All that deregulation is not so good allowing to destroy our water and air making people sick. Conservative judges might limit liberties of Jews as well. Law Enforcement does not have the right to shoot anyone on sight. Fracking will be replaced slowly by switching to solar energy and by using electric cars and you are maybe supporting autocratic education. The rich have the money to pay their bail. Capitalism has become one sided by supporting the rich and not caring for the poor. I don’t want foreign natiions to interfere in our elections for either side.
You are missing the point. Trump publicizes on his own his bad behavior and being proud of it.
Wearing a wig without any covering, specially if it looks like regular hair, is an argument between the Shiltei Hagiborim and the Beer Sheva 19, Magen Avraham on SA O’CH 75,2 See the Sefer Hakeser Vehakavod Lechai Alomim.
When anyone said masks were not required was because there was a shortage of masks for medical first responders. I don’t know that anyone said that social distancing is not required. The rioters were condemned by Biden. Trump condemned the protesters.
Also, the mazal is not in his favor, as children are dependent on the mazal. Hashem added a heh to Avram and changed Sarai making their name Avraham and Sarah both becoming a different individual on whom the mazal has no control. The yud of Sarai was applied to Hoshea making his name Yehoshua bin Nun. According Rebbi Reb Heshel the shvo for the yud was taken from ben making it bin.
common saychal, how do you know about all those people?
Whitewater and Lewinsky was publicized by the press. Mechalel shabbos openly is considered doing it lehaches whereas privately is letaovan.
common saychal, where is your common saychal? You said zero morals? Even Trump cares for his family. He did not drive off on purpose but was drunk. He should not have escaped. What did Trump tbe playboy do while married? Over twenty five accusations. If no smoke, no fire.
It says, a person should pray not to get sick. Once a person gets sick ch’v, he needs special protection, zechusim to get cured. Besides prayer, we must do everything possible like wearing masks, washing hands and social distancing to protect ourselves from the coronavirus and then Hashem will help us. It is a mitzva of ushmartem meod lenafshosechem to protect ourselves from getting sick. If a person endangers himself, he will not be helped.
Masks even if saving one from dying, is worth it.
