Don’t forget the unfiltered anti-semitism coming from them too. Mamdani never called anyone a Shylock that I’m aware of. Or does he have tattoos associated with Christian nationalism like Hegseth.

ADL is essentially an arm of MAGA now, providing cover for violent right-wing antisemites and smearing left-wing allies as as antisemites. It is really terrible how quickly & thoroughly Jonathan Greenblatt has managed to turn such an important organization for Jews (really all of US) against us.

I think that saying has become less applicable over the years. These days, I think it's more apt to never attribute to stupidity what can be explained by malice.

And Trump, the malignant narcissist, is also a cunning con, but also a very deep coward.
And he's learned if nothing else over the years to get other people to do the dirty work and keep his signature off shit.
So he balked.
But that coup has never ended.
