… “Donald Trump’s use of a blatantly anti-Semitic image from racist websites to promote his campaign would be disturbing enough, but the fact that it’s a part of a pattern should give voters major cause for concern,” said Sarah Bard, Clinton’s director of Jewish outreach, in a statement. “Now, not only won’t he apologize for it, he’s peddling lies and blaming others.”…

    My family’s last name is pretty obviously jewish in origin. My dad is a lawyer and back in the 80’s his firm represented trump in a dispute (surprise, surprise, trump refused to pay the bill). The one and only time he met Trump, Trump’s assistant introduced him, Trump repeated my dad’s last name and said “Oh, good, a jew attorney.”

    As for this latest incident, I’m surprised more people aren’t pointing out that even his defense on twitter (blaming the “dishonest media”) is another wink at the alt-right.

    Trump will still get between 5% and 10% of both the Jewish and African-American vote because a) some people are just contrarian cranks, and b) filling-out-the-ballot mishaps.

    @Jay: part of my family is from Nebraska and i would always go there for a week leading up to the 4th. The big big show was always at the “neighbor”‘s place (ten miles or so) because their farm had tin roofs.

    @dmsilev: The voters are slowly starting to drain away. Prof Wang started the meta-margin at +3.5% for Clinton, now its at +3.8%. The closer we get to November and the more it becomes obvious that Il Douche is never going to pivot, the more I believe you see hopeful Republicans start to look for the electoral lifeboats. I suspect the final plunge won’t kick in until after the third debate, when its obvious to everyone the crazy train is barreling into the general at full speed.

    At what point do more Republicans say, I simply cannot be a part of this?

    That would be fucking never. Any Republican who hasn’t publicly disassociated him- or herself from the beast by now isn’t going to do so.

    The Tr*mp campaign is “Why Do These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My Cock?” except for antisemites.

    And the thing to understand about /pol/ and Milo Andreas Wagner and all of that horrorshow is that edgelord/shitlord culture is built upon “everything is trolling” and working with the worst shit is what gives them their shallow sense of outrage-power.

    If they were in Syria they would have been blowing up Palmyra’s temples and smashing its antiquities and slaughtering its museum directors in the ampitheatre.

    @efgoldman: I watched from the Boston side betw. the BU bridge and the Maas. Ave. one. A great spot, actually, and a walk from my home.

    My office overlooks a courtyard, so no river/fireworks view for me. I have often viewed the display from in front of my building, but the new spot is actually a better angle and much less hassle to get into and (especially) out of.

    @Anne Laurie:
    For a man to convert to Judaism he must be circumcised, even if he was already circumcised at birth. Good luck getting a lot of conversions.

    The Israeli rabbis who approve immigration are ultra-orthodox and hate converts, as well. Your conversion has to cross every t, dot every i, and cut every foreskin if you want Israeli citizenship.

    @Barbara: Do you have a reference for that case, which I would love to read up on?

    My google-fu has, alas, proven inadequate.
