After the House changed their rules for Omar, might be best for the Senate to update that one as well. I was grateful to see such a legitimate reason for it, and an explanation coming out in real time on social media shutting the door on potential mischief for terrible reasons... Though, it confused me that he didn't wear and head covering, as I could have sworn Congressman Raskin was wearing his... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindwalker Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Oh, I was wondering about Raskin, because I'm watching on shitty resolution, so I couldn't decide whether it was a kippa or balding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he is covering his head whenever he consumes something. I think that the phrase is "observant Jew" not "practicing". That's for Catholics.

"Practicing" is typically in the context of "non-practicing." And "observant Jew," while correct, is kind of dated. Typically you just say you're Jewish and leave it at that unless one feels the need to establish themselves as a "conservative Jew." Hasidic Jews are obvious to the eye and need no introduction.

On the other hand, all my life my Jewish friends have talked about being observant. They have used the word practicing, but they use the word observant more. Semantics. eta: what I was always told is that they observe the law, they don't practice the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just quoting your own self-description. 8 minutes ago, Fragile Bird said: Well, there are 613 commandments to observe... And that's kind of the point. Outside of the orthodox sect there is a general understanding that you cannot practice each of these things, especially when you can debate at times that they can contradict one another. Modern Judaism can acknowledge that about itself, and gives its adherents autonomy on varying degrees. Even conservative Jews recognize this by and large.

Fragile Bird Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Question. Trump is down in Florida, surrounded, one assumes, by a very small group of people. It’s being reported that he was very angry at the performance of his lawyers today, 8 on a scale of ten. Who would be leaking this information?

Lollygag Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 It could be any number of people who leaked the info, but Trump has a long history of manipulating his own leaks. He has a love/hate thing with the NYT as he desperately wants their approval. He spilled everything to Bob Woodward who works for the WP which he despises because of Bezos. https://www.vice.com/en/article/exqkbp/remembering-john-barron-donald-trumps-spokesman-alter-ego-116 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollygag Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 With impeachment forcing Fox News to cover things they'd otherwise never would, they are now forced to admit, over 1 month after the fact, that there is indeed "at least some degree of linkage" between Trump and the storming of the Capitol. https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-admits-at-least-some-link-between-trump-and-riots?ref=home?ref=home Quote In the moments after House impeachment managers wrapped up their opening arguments on Tuesday, Fox News anchors were briefly forced to concede that the connection between President Donald Trump's inciting actions and the violent insurrection is hard to dispute. “When we saw that video,” John Roberts said, referring to the comprehensive montage of footage from the Jan. 6 riots presented by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), “we saw some of the people who were at the tip of the spear breaching the Capitol, repeating what Trump had said in his rally: ‘We will stop the steal.’” He also highlighted the moment when one of the rioters confronted a Capitol police officer by saying, “We are listening to Trump, your boss.” “So there would seem to be at least some degree of linkage,” Roberts admitted. When only 6% of Republicans support Trump's impeachment for incitement, this is exactly where that comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought cultural Jew was the self-describtion of the folks that identify as Jewish, but are not really that much into all the religious rules and stuff.
