Family? That's a dog whistle if ever I've heard one, a frequent term used by the far left. I note that Mr. Kushner (the presidents son-in-law) is from a Jewish family.

I used the term family, as Bernstein’s Wikipedia page notes that comes from a “Jewish family”. It doesn’t note if it’s subject practices Judaism.

Anyway, I was simply musing on whether the Dolt’s choice of words was a wink to some of the good people that form his fan base. A rather subtle on considering some of outbursts about Mexican.

You wouldn’t happen to be an American, would you? I only ask as you used the term “far left” in your post. As a Brit, I note that this term is often applied to moderate Republicans or Democrats, who when compared to British politicians would stand amongst the moderate elements of the current (and rather right wing) Conservative party.

There are tons of secular, non-practicing Jews - like myself - that have to identify themselves/be identified in some manner. This just seems like one way to do that.

Your description of yourself seems to fit almost every Jewish person I know. They are culturally Jewish and embrace some of the rituals and the tribe so to speak, but are in fact atheists.

I actually love them for that. This is the hardest part of my deconversion. It's very hard being an atheist Christian...But it seems easy being an atheist Jew. This probably doesn't work if you're orthodox or Hasidic though.

"Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner had NOTHING to do with the so called “pushing out” of Don McGahn.The Fake News Media has it, purposely,so wrong! They love to portray chaos in the White House when they know that chaos doesn’t exist-just a “smooth running machine” with changing parts!"

"I am very excited about the person who will be taking the place of Don McGahn as White House Councel! I liked Don, but he was NOT responsible for me not firing Bob Mueller or Jeff Sessions. So much Fake Reporting and Fake News!"

If Trump is reelected I predict that this will become an approved alternate spelling of counsel. This alone should get out the vote!

"I just cannot state strongly enough how totally dishonest much of the Media is. Truth doesn’t matter to them, they only have their hatred & agenda. This includes fake books, which come out about me all the time, always anonymous sources, and are pure fiction. Enemy of the People!"

"CNN does not lie." -- CNN lying about lying.

Not that it really matters, since hardly anyone ever watches Fake News CNN anyway -- routinely trounced by Nickelodeon and HGTV in the ratings.

What proof do you have?

And what do ratings have to do with veracity? A quick review of FOX News will tell you that.

"The hatred and extreme bias of me by @CNN has clouded their thinking and made them unable to function. But actually, as I have always said, this has been going on for a long time. Little Jeff Z has done a terrible job, his ratings suck, & AT&T should fire him to save credibility!"

I don't quite understand this.

Is Zuckerberg working for AT&T now?

Do you think Donald Trump is a more accurate source of information in comparison to CNN?

You know, seriously, choosing between accepting a Magic 8-Ball or Trump is less a joke choice than I thought. At least the 8-Ball would be quieter, more dignified, and wouldn't try to come up with it's own ideas.

I think it might be far more accurate too. The odds of it giving an answer that is something approaching the facts is just so much higher.
