I fully expect a War on Judaism to begin in late October.

As I say elsewhere, Trump obviously did this because it will please his base, infuriate his opponents, and in hopes that we will grab for the shiny object and forget about how he disrespects the troops. I get tired of being told things are distractions, but this is obviously a distraction.

Why, when Republicans hold onto Jews as “useful idiots” because Israel because Symbol of Religious Fundamentalism due to them having An Entire Nation Under One (other) God, So to Speak?
I think Christians read the word “Israelites” in the Bible and there’s an instant depiction of Israel-the-Country and well, I guess the Jewishness of it all is just a thing to put up with, because Bible.

Actually the "Israel support" from Fundamentalist Christians is deeply anti-Jewish. The Fundamentalists support Israel because the "ingathering of the exiles (the Jews) " is seen as a precondition for the second coming of Jesus. Once Jesus returns, the Fundamentalists plan to convert all the Jews to Christianity. Nothing friendly about it.

Right now, all I am concerned about is getting Trump out. That training can be reinstated IF Biden gets in. If Trump gets back in, that training will be the least of our worries.
The military thing is an issue that will swing voters. Federal race training, not so much.

True, but treating it as though it's unimportant or meaningless is a bit wrong-headed, isn't it?
Yes - it's a distraction. But it's also another material example of his willingness to cause direct harm to anyone who isn't in his thrall, because he enjoys wielding power to cause harm.
That's worthy of our attention, just as much as his spitting on the memory of our war dead.

One of the many, many problems with dealing with Trump is that it’s like trying to deal with a serial killer that you know is planning to blow up another hospital or school but he keeps setting random fires.

Agreed. I'm just saying, maybe check on the folks whose houses he's burned down while we're registering voters and requesting absentee ballots. Walking, chewing gum - we Democrats have got it down. Onward to victory!
