Letter 'from his doctor'

vendredi 4 mai 2018 à 02:00

The cheater dictated the letter "from his doctor" that said he would be the "healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency".

I know what it is like to feel violated — for instance, when I am compelled to identify myself and get put in a data base — but I would not say I felt "raped". I don't know what it feels like to be raped, and I hope I never find out, but I am sure it is an exaggeration to use it for lesser kinds of violation.

Foreign invited speakers

The UK is just as hostile to foreign invited speakers as the US.

It's worse than just rejecting applications. The process of applying is a series of slaps in the face. When my Colombian friend Tania wanted to visit Italy, they wouldn't even give her an appointment until after she had missed her flight.

Antisemitism

US and Israel Accuse Palestinian President of Antisemitism.

It sounds like real antisemitism. But that isn't a justification for the oppression of the occupation and siege of Palestine.

The purported explanation he gave for European antisemitism would not have made sense in the absence of preexisting antisemitism. When a small fraction of Jews were bankers, and only a fraction of bankers were Jews, what sense was there in directing at Jews the hatred inspired by the actions of bankers? It would make more sense to hate bankers.
