SOME RANDOM TWEETS / SOME JEWISH TWEETS


What role does clergy play in Mr. Trump’s America?  To raise hard questions, challenge the pols, and keep the flame of faith burning.

Which was the greater Democratic liability—a flawed candidate or the over-confidence of: we’re right and can’t lose?

Media is inherently biased because people, who make the media, are inherently biased.  That’s why freedom of all presses is essential.

Is it a genuine victory if the final total includes a substantial number that are not votes for you, but votes against the other candidate?

The day after the election was marked by silence and shock.  I tweet it only because I never want to forget it; it was eerie and unsettling.

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.  Sometimes the president is brilliant and sometimes not so much.  That’s called democracy.

The election of 2016 exposed the “sensitive” and liberal Northeast to be oblivious to its neighbors in the Midwest.  Not nice and not smart.

The right wing is plagued by neo-nazi, white supremacists; the left wing by BDSers and atheistic bullies.  Jews need their own new party.

Mr. Trump is not ideologically committed which may be an advantage.  Ideology often keeps us from out-of-the-box solutions that could work.

Moving the US embassy to Jerusalem may create a Palestinian incentive to negotiate, if they fear it is the first of more losses to come. 

Could Mr. Obama have been more gracious to Mr. Trump in creating a peaceful transition and welcome to the White House?  I think not.

Give Mr. Trump a chance to succeed?  Absolutely!  His success is our success.  Only a fool prays for personal failure.

Whether attended by a multitude or not, the Inauguration was a triumph in representing the peaceful transition of power.

God grants length of years, great wealth, and communal honor to the purveyors of fake news.  Uhm, just kidding…

Ivanka and Jared got Orthodox dispensation to ride during the Shabbat inauguration.  You see—us Conservative Jews were right all along!!

Mr. Trump and Bibi are on good terms.  That is a very welcomed change.  Maybe our allies will begin to think of America as an ally again.

Jared Kushner from New Jersey, special envoy to the Middle East, will bring peace.  Also, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you.

His followers are not deplorable, but in referencing “American carnage,” depicting an America the equal of a Warsaw ghetto, his language is.

Mr. Trump’s harping on a dystopian America makes him sound like a religious crackpot.  Recommendation:  a new set of speech writers.

For those who despair a Trump presidency, remember that the system is stronger than the man and only diamonds, not presidents, are forever.

I hope the president has thoughts that exceed 140 characters in length.
