Ross Douthat: I assume you are familiar with the study that shows beyond a doubt that if you, personally, don’t convert to an ultra-orthodox sect of Judaism and declare that women being allowed to pray at the Wailing Wall is a, what do you people call it, a shofer, a shunda, then within our lifetime — maybe not your lifetime, because you are so old and frail — Judaism as we know it will cease to exist.
Senator Sanders, when did you stop beating your wife?
Senator Sanders, you call yourself a socialist, yet I personally saw you pay money for a pack of gum at the deli downstairs before this interview. Can you explain your hypocrisy?
Senator Sanders, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? No googling allowed.
Sanders, being from Vermont, IS a woodchuck. That's what we call ourselves up here. And since I can chuck wood, I can tell you that the average woodchuck can chuck about two cord of wood in an afternoon.
in upstate New York Woodchucks are the people with Anglo and Dutch names whose ancestors failed to escape the region over the past four centuries. Immigrants from Brooklyn are the subjects of stories they tell to frighten the kids.
You left out the part where Dean Baquet asks Bernie why he's so devoted to Iran and why he sides with the terrorists and hates America. It is, after all, a given at the NYT that anyone who would run against a Republican is by definition a Muslim extremist atheistic socialist communist Sharia-loving anti-American counter-culture abortionist homo promoter.
It's on a mountain, overlooking the city.She had her arms spread wide. She's got a great rack! I saw a picture in National Geographic. They are known for their rack pictures.
"Deracinated" is an interesting word. " I deracinated that whole row of beets. " is proper usage . And I'm pretty sure the last B-12 I bought was deracinated.
Last time we had Thanksgiving dinner at the in-laws I could have sworn the whole meal, dessert and all had been deracinated. Turns out it had been deflavorized. Subtle difference.
Funfact about the Heartland. Rural folks hate hate hate Jews. This in spite of the fact many ,maybe most, have never met anybody Jewish . Unless they went to the county seat to get glasses from that nice Doctor Lieberman one street over from the courthouse. Most everybody goes to Walmart for their glasses these days so anymore that's pretty rare.
Farmers like to blame a lot of their problems on Jew Bankers. Even though they have lived in the same small town all their lives and went to school with their banker and their bankers family - hell, they saw them every Sunday down at the First Baptist Church and made a point of saying hello at fellowship after the service, all their problems, when they're hanging out at the grain elevator with all the rest of the farmers are the fault of Jew Bankers.
They're losing a fuck ton of money on this tariff bullshit, everyone but the real big players. Who do you think they blame? It ain't Donald Trump. It's some Banker named Goldman.
If you can, pick up the third chapter of Faulkner's Sound & Fury, the Jason Compson chapter. Sure it's set in the 1930s, but it's all about a Trump supporter -- a stupid small-town tyrant making terrible decisions with his own money, believing he's entitled to other peoples' money in compensation, and endlessly vexed by images of those New York Jews who must think they're sooo superior. At no point will Jason ever wonder if he is to blame for his own mistakes; he will only get crueler and madder. It's pretty funny, too!

It's true - I seem to attract the worst. My sister in laws second husband (out of 4) (so far) gave all the men in the family copies of The Turner Diaries for Christmas one year. I was like "Oh hell nope" He didn't ever really talk to me again. Had I known it was so easy I would have tried to piss him off way sooner. He was a major asshole.

Bernie's got more than the NYT against him. At our county Dem committee meeting, the state chair showed up to tell us how to become delegates to vote at the national convention. When he took questions, somebody asked, "How do I become a superdelegate?" The answer basically was, "the establishment absorbs you."
As Hillary had not even gain the 15% against Bernie in 2016, she was not eligible at the time to receive any delegate votes, yet all 14 of Vermont's went to her at the national convention. This was because our 14 delegates had to contend with 8-- count 'em, 8-- superdelegates. Thy just steamrollered the Bernie supporters. The progressives who hang out with the Democrats must be motivated by that passage in Scripture where Jesus hangs out with sinners.
I especially like the scene with Ivanka, for "fairness". Objectivity means you must respect every side of an argument regardless if one side of the argument is bigoted and stupid.

I wanted to give this one TWO hearts, but it wouldn't let me.
That's it, I'm booking a flight to Venezuela City to see the statue of President Eva Peron.

That's what we had before internet porn.

Nice !
This reminds me of the crowd at a Trump rally -

Although, maybe because of the fanatic Mormon sojourn in Mexico, he pissed-off a lot of his supporters by urging kindness toward refugees.
Your point still stands, and I go further: his coddling helped to encourage the Lout Rampage that got us where we are now.

You'd feel so much better if everyone went into their mom's pocketbook, took out a dollar, and sent it to you.
>=-D
Like they used to say, a great place to be from!
you sure produce funny, readable shit Roy. thanks.

Roy, you missed the part where Bret Stephens came in and pointed at Bernie like Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of The Body Snatchers.
There's plenty of Bret questions I could think of:
"Senator Sanders, have you ever thought about referring to me as a bedbug? Tell the truth, I know you have."
"Senator Sanders, you're old. Did you know the dirty commie socialist who brainwashed and stole my grandmother away from my industrialist ancestors?"
"Senator Sanders, how do you square your Jewish upbringing with your obvious hate of the community of Jewish geniuses such as myself?"
I'm here all week!
I especially like the scene with Ivanka, for "fairness". Objectivity means you must respect every side of an argument regardless if one side of the argument is bigoted and stupid.
This is hilarious
