OK, first, 90% of the actual anti-semites in this country are right wingers. You cynically appropriated the protests in order to make yourselves look like sane, love-everyone types, but it won't work. It was your team that shot up a synagogue. Not any leftist. And the people doing the protests are mostly young kids, not billionaires.

You don't get to cite the ADL as evidence for your claim when the issue is whether the ADL has dropped the ball. And in all likelihood, the ADL is afraid of reprisals and is genuflecting like the rest of the country's organizations because your guy is a tyrant. Which is what you wanted all along. Which is why sensible people cannot be friends with you.

And MAGAs wonder why nobody wants to sleep with them.

You mean it wasn't leftist college students (and maybe antifa) shouting, "JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US"????

One thing to remember is that Latinos aren't necessarily as homogeneous as the pollsters seem to lump them. There's a fair amount of Mexican American voters, maybe even majority, that don't really like the central Americans.

But I'm not sure Trump is necessarily going to make that distinction. I think those Mexican American voters who are citizens now and have been here for a while think that they are safe and it's going to be the folks they don't really care for that get deported. But somebody's cousin or somebody's nephew is going to get deported and that's going to hurt.

there is no distinction with this admin. they are going to do offensive things to all latinos. mexicans, central americans and south americans.

Let's start with Heritage's own definition --

"Conservatism is an ideology rooted in American founding principles. It prioritizes individual choice and rights over big government, one-size-fits-all solutions and viewpoints."

www.heritage.org

Conservatism | The Heritage Foundation

Since our founding in 1973, The Heritage Foundation has been working to advance the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.

In other words, anti-MAGA.

I was kind of surprised he pardoned them. Vance made similar statements. I would have thought all of Trump's nominee's and his VP would have been on the same page with him. Maybe it was a trial balloon. Vance got booed when he said Trump likely wouldn't pardon anyone who attacked a police officer.
 


Hegseth Routinely Passed Out from Alcohol Abuse, Witness Says​

Trump’s Pentagon pick has denied allegations, calling them part of a ‘smear campaign’​


“Pete Hegseth, President Trump’s pick to run the Pentagon, regularly abused alcohol to the point that he passed out at family gatherings, and once needed to be dragged out of a strip club while in uniform, according to an ex-relative’s account of his behavior that was given to U.S. lawmakers and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

The sworn statement, submitted in response to a request from Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, was signed by Hegseth’s former sister in law, Danielle Hegseth. It states that she was with Hegseth when he passed out from drunkenness in the bathroom of a bar in Minneapolis in about 2013. It also describes another night, when she said Hegseth drank so much at a restaurant in Minneapolis that the Uber driver had to pull over on Interstate 94 so he could throw up.

…
In the sworn statement, Hegseth’s former sister-in-law also said that Hegseth’s ex-wife, Samantha, told her that she once hid from Hegseth in a closet because she feared for her personal safety, sometime between 2014 and 2016.

She said that Samantha had a “code word” with her and another person close to her and that Samantha had made a plan in case she needed to get away from Hegseth. Danielle Hegseth said that Samantha texted the code to her in 2015 or 2016. She said the code meant that she should call the other person to fly out to Minnesota to help Samantha, which Danielle said she did. …”

——
That code word story is a serious allegation — long term fear generating a safety plan, not just that one night he was scary drunk (which would be bad enough, but not indicative of a pattern).

It’s likely Trump doesn’t actually know exactly what his Sharpie was doing when he signed his name. There’s no way he understood or even read the EOs. Someone wrote them, gave him a synopsis free of nuance or implications, and he signed and preened before the cameras.
