does no one else find it a bit too "coincidental" - not only that so many shootings occurred in Chicago over the weekend after Pritzger said no to federal troops - but also that no one has been arrested for any of the shootings???

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

I wrote this about news organizations that were settling with Trump, but it's equally true of law firms that are settling with him. Maybe even *more* true, since the spectacle of *lawyers* surrendering to Trump is especially dispiriting. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/o...

Next thing you know, Trump will expect Jews to stop saying negative things about Hitler.
Trump says President Zelensky should be nicer to Vladimir Putin:
“He doesn’t have to stand there and say ‘Putin this, Putin that,’ all negative things. He’s got to say, ‘I want to make peace, I don’t want to fight any longer.’”
(It’s clear that Trump wants Ukraine to surrender to Putin.)
