Well, at it’s core, this is rebellion, yo. And about time.

It doesn’t have to be an easy, safe, non-hazardous path, does it?

FTA:

While we cannot speak for all Pittsburghers, or even all Jewish Pittsburghers, we know we speak for a diverse and unified group

But not these:

How about the good old “honourable way out”?
Yes, it’s supposed to be for gentlemen, but surely we can allow the odd exemption every now and then?

Or something like the Long Walk from Judge Dress- good luck with heading south, hombre.

What, in some nuts-and-bolts terms, is involved in rallying my own city of Los Angeles to release such a statement? What if lots of cities started releasing such a statement? Where do I start?

Was going to say similar:

not welcome in Pittsburgh until you commit yourself to compassionate, democratic policies that recognize the dignity of all of us.

Just stop after ‘Pittsburgh’, because you might as well say ‘until hell freezes over’, which has as much chance of happening as Trumpty-Dumpty even knowing what the words ‘compassionate’ or ‘dignity’ mean, let alone having policies that encompass them.

I belong to this Facebook group in which I know practically no one in there from RL. But somehow we are all connected via 7 degrees of separation. It generally is a lot of dark humor and funny/wrong memes.

But one member is Jewish and her parents are in love with Trump. I asked if this seemed to change their tone at all, and thus far it hasn’t seem to swayed their support. Though she concedes she doesn’t talk politics with them any more.

I’m confident that Trump doesn’t give a shit if he’s welcome anywhere he happens to be or not. His head doesn’t parse reality.

Still, Kudos for trying. I wish we lived in a better world.

So, of course, he’s going to Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

He sure knows how to make himself unwelcome!

Trump’s complicit in the murder of eleven people. Since he can accept no criticism, all he can do is double down and rub shit in the survivors’ faces by forcing his disgusting presence on them. Because he’s exactly that kind of piece of shit of a human being, and always was that disgusting. And that the media have given him a pass for over forty years is irrelevant. (And yes, if someone says that he’s also complicit in the murders of black people and others by out of control cops, I’ll agree.)

I think basically he went: Fine, I’ll start my own temple. With Blackjack and Hookers… I mean with Jesus.
