A well deserved firing.
Hopefully the DOJ will fire Mueller next.
Midwest2: If there’s a serious prospect of impeachment and conviction, the President will suddenly drop bombs and initiate war against North Korea. Congress will then have to decide whether to remove the Commander in Chief in middle of America’s deadliest war since World War II.
CTL, why was it particularly necessary for him to stand and she sit for posed photographs?
Shopping613: Which boys tell that to you?
Health, I think a 60 year old guy is a bit on the young side for a 35 year old woman.
European Jewish boys wore pink, Midwest2?
P.S. The OP is the female in the equation.
Toi: Great comparison between Evangelical Christianity and Zionism.
35 year old women are often more marriage minded than 30 year old women?
iac, there are יוצא מן הכלל for everything. I’m sure we can find people who think military issued MREs taste better than strawberries, cheesecake and steak.
Is it any different than a Yekke bochor wearing a Talis in a Litvish/Chasidish shul (or a Litvish/Chasidish bochor not wearing a Talis in a Yekke shul)?
takah, someone once told me a similar explanation on how he began to eat chicken and cheese sandwiches.
The 70 year old fogey Hillary slipped in the bath in India today and was hospitalized with a broken wrist. Huma wasn’t around to catch her in time.
YY, how is that an example? The heimishe ones are at least as stringent. They may require not using or selling an entire lot.
Can you ship them as cargo via ship?
Whose great grandchildren intermarried and had Christian einekelech in high society? Der Vaser Truger whose lineage today is seeing nachas in Shamayim from his einekelech learning in Brisk — or the Rothschild banking family?
iac: Only fellows who’ve never tasted good hand matzah could mistake machine matzah as better.
Gaon, a mom and pop Ashkenazi rabbi in Israel isn’t permitted to permit kitniyos any more than he’s permitted to decide that Cherem Rabbeinu Gershom is no longer applicable.
iac: Compare the *best* hand matzah to the best machine matzah. You seem to agree the best hand is the best.
Midwest2: Five million (that’s 5,000,000) more Americans voted that Hillary should not be President than voted that she should be President. So she would not be in. If no one got a majority, as occurred in 2016, in a system where there’s no Electoral College then a runoff (or an “instant runoff” — google that) should occur to determine a winner – since no one won.
And like DY correctly pointed out, if the election had been based on a popular vote then the candidates would have campaigned FAR differently than they did. And the outcome would’ve been much different, and incomparable to the election we had based on the Electoral College. Both candidates would’ve heavily campaigned in deep red and deep blue States rather than only campaigning in swing States.
Gaon, which comment are you responding to?
“Pope Joan has bee debated among scholars if its a myth or not.”
Who are you gonna believe – Christian deniers or Chachmei Yisroel?
Hand Matzah, hands down.
Even if someone doesn’t hold hand matzah is halachicly or hashkaficaly necessary, they’d still agree hand matzah tastes much much better than machine matzah.
Can you imagine members of the Royal Family eating a leben with a straw?
TOL (OP): 100% Beautiful! Yasher Koach.
This is another of the many threads from before the CR software upgrade that lost all its comments other than the OP, among the many forms of thread-decapitation that occurred to thousands of pre-upgrade threads.
This thread was bumped to the front page without anyone (seemingly) attempting to post a comment to it. I’ve seen this occur a few times. What causes the bump?
A spam post
The New York Sun is most famous for “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”
Although the above Sun was merely a short-lived revival of the old paper’s name.
All national hechsheirim aren’t created equal and all heimishe ones aren’t created equal. Some are much better than others and some are worthless.
YY, please quote any non-Democrat who agrees with your mathematically-challenged definition. And not the Democrat-heavy Wikipedia moderators-approved edits.
Every jurisdiction chooses who wins elections slightly differently. Many will have a runoff if no one gets 50%+1 vote. Including in New York City citywide primaries and in various other states, including statewide contests.
Health, you’re factually incorrect. Goyim are obligated to believe Hashem is G-d.
Gaon, relatively speaking Hawking is a lot worse than Einstein. Hawking was a bad goy whereas Einstein, for all his many faults was still a Yid – albeit a Yid gone wrong.
YY, no she did not win the popular vote. No one but Democrats make that mathematically false claim. 48.2% is not winning the popular vote by any mathematical definition. A plurality is not a majority. Most American voters voted against Clinton.
“Einstein as a Jew has obligations, whereas Hawkins as a Non-Jew has non…he is not worse than all Ovdei A”Z or Greeks…”
Incorrect. Goyim are obligated to believe in Hashem, per the Sheva Mitzvos.
Let’s note that given three opportunities to give even one single example of what “GAON” thinks Hawking ym’s bestowed upon mankind that “Gaon” considers to be an emesdike חכמה, Gaon could not find even one example to share.
This is because Hawking’s life work in pseudo-science is strongly focused on pure kefira such as black holes, big bangs, the supposed “origin of the universe” and junk science like that. Certainly nothing regarding the יש חכמה בגוים – תאמן that Gaon is misapplying to Hawking ym’s.
smerel: In English that’s a minority, not a majority. It’s a plurality, but certainly not a majority.
That’s English 101 for you. Come back tomorrow for English 102.
To summarize, she did not win the popular vote. To “win” the popular vote you need at least 50% + 1 vote. She received 48.2%.
Gaon:
“Health, please explain how believing in “Spinoza’s god” is worse than denying the existence of God altogether?”
Of course its NOT – but in a way for a Jew (i.e. Einstein) it is…
How is it worse for a Jew to believe “Spinoza’s god” than for the Jew to believe G-d does not exist?
“Hawking contributed nothing useful to mankind. What emesdike חכמה do you attribute to Hawking?!”
Thanks for proving us how knowledgeable you are in the works of Science….
That’s a non-answer because you have no answer. Hawking’s contributed zero emesdike חכמה to mankind.
“Hawking was much worse than Aristotle”
Hawking did NOT write books claiming kefira. Kefira statements were just made in interviews — as his personal belief ,as per Science.
This is hooey. Kefira is kefira whether he writes them in books or expresses them in mass media interviews for the public. Hawking was worse than Aristotle.
YitzyK: Well said.
shmerel: She didn’t win the popular vote. She lost it as no one won since no candidate received a majority of the popular vote. Clinton got 48.2% of the vote, which according to my math teacher, is less than a majority. Or as they say in English, a minority of the vote.
May she have a respectful burial.
Gaon: What Geordie described his cousins vis-a-vis gebrochs is how the vast majority of those who don’t eat gebrochs hold this minhag,
That’s why I’m hoping to recapture him before he gets anywhere near Eretz Yisroel.
I would be interested if anyone knows about what would happen, in a place like KAJ, Washington Heights, where the minhag is definitely Jekkisch. Does EVERYONE wear tefilin chol hamoed? Even baalei tshuva and geirim?
Why would an established baalei tshuva or ger (not newly minted) be any different in this regard than someone frum from birth?
Geordie, do you believe that yiddishe man to man banter is disrespectful? In either event, walking away (as you suggested) is certainly not respectful.
Gaon, Hawking was much worse than Aristotle. So your comparison is way off. Aristotle wasn’t even an atheist, aside from the many other far worse attributes of Hawking compared to Aristotle.
Secondly. and in addition to the above, Hawking contributed nothing useful to mankind. What emesdike חכמה do you attribute to Hawking?!
And that’s all aside from Hawking being a kofer gomor, aside from him being a rasha gomor and aside from him being an anti-semite gomor.
My Eved Knani escaped. If found please respond. Hashavas Aveida!
iac, what if the other person follows the same advice you just offered?
