    Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, JD Vance’s kids, and Barron Trump are all children of immigrants. Hypocrisy means nothing to MAGA.

    The Glossers came to the U.S. just a few years before the fear and prejudice of the “America first” nativists of the day closed U.S. borders to Jewish refugees. Had Wolf-Leib waited, his family likely would have been murdered by the Nazis along with all but seven of the 2,000 Jews who remained in Antopol. I would encourage Stephen to ask himself if the chanting, torch-bearing Nazis of Charlottesville, whose support his boss seems to court so cavalierly, do not envision a similar fate for him.

      do not envision a similar fate for him.

      Just like Musk, Giuliani, Herman Cain, My Pillow asshole, etc., they all thought they were special. They thought they were in the “in” crowd. It’s a fragile position no matter who you are, because you’re “in” only until they don’t have a use for you.

      Bezos, Zuck, Miller, they’ll all find out eventually that they aren’t special too.

        Yeah, even “powerless” narcissists need someone to feed their ego, and will eventually turn on that person and need a new one.

        It’s just worse when the narcissist has power.

    When will liberals learn that fascists literally don’t care when you point out their hypocrisy? They revel in it

      Yep. It’s quite literally an expression of power for them. Pointing it out does nothing but feed them.

      Yeah, the left wing and right wing are basically always pissed. But when you piss off the centrists and non-politicals, that’s when shit starts happening. Not that they’ll do anything, of course. But that support means a lot when you’re talking about keeping their mouth shut at certain times, or not reporting certain things.

          Did I say that at all? I made one comparison. And I am in one of those groups, so why would I compare myself to the other?

          Edit: and yes, I have been pissed ever since the department of Justice let that vile piece of shit run for office while on trial for dozens of felonies. I feel I deserve to be pissed about everything right now.

    No, you see, things are totally different now vs. when Miller’s ancestors emigrated here! It’s as different as black and white…
