This judge has a wildly punchable face

....

(Of course it's HuffPo, so they have to say he's "problematic". No, he's a fucking disaster!)

This thing called 'Diversity' is a non-thing.

Can you photograph it?

Anyway, Mrs Menashi is doing OK and has no cause for complaint.

r3 are you lost? No Rubles for you today!

I'm sure this guy is a shitstain, but "he's never tried a case!" and "he's never conducted a deposition!" are stupid arguments against seating someone on an appellate court. Also, so much of federal practice is complicated disputes between businesses, it's going to be funny when all the these Trump appointees start tripping over each other's dicks trying to figure out what the right answer is when the rich guy wins either way.

Aw, R1 beat me to it. Nice to know I'm among kindred spirits, though.

OP, you left out "white nationalist."

Mr Menashi is an "ethno-nationalist" and Jewish?

You nose say!

All we need now is Moe and Curly and we have the set.

He sounds like the typical 2019 Republican. They are all basically heinous. He is uglier than average though.

Hey! That's my act!

Yet another comic book villain, and probable xenophobe and racist.

ughhhhh. Look at the beak on him

Some of you people are either dumb as fuck, which I highly doubt, or outright White Nationalist, just to name one characteristic.

For those of you who may not be completely aware or caught up on why this walking shit stain is “problematic”, do yourselves a favor, & scroll down to Mr. Menashi’s “writings & opinions”, linked within the linked Wiki for this turd.

I honestly am just unable to grasp how my fellow Americans have come to this place of blind devotion and support of a man like this, all for protecting yourselves for a man like DJT. And I’m obviously addressing WH officials.

Then all of you civilians. Voters. You all call yourselves patriots, yet EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE YOU SUPPORT GOES AGAINST EVERY TENET, INTENT, AND SPIRIT OF THE LAW RENDERING GOOD FAITH, FOR A TWO BIT CROOK WHO SOLD OUT TO RUSSIAN ORGANIZED CRIME SYNDICATES THE MOMENT HE REALIZED HE WOULD RATHER BE A FAKE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER, THAN A REAL ONE, BECAUSE HE WAS SO UNEDUCATED, ARROGANT, AND INEPT, THAT EVEN THOUGH HE HAD EVERY OPPORTUNITY AND MEANS TO BUILD A BRAND AND BUSINESS HONESTLY AND BY THE BOOK, HE WAS TOO LAZY, SPOILED, AND ENTITLED TO FOLLOW BASIC RULES AND ONLY FELT POWERFUL BY CONNING OTHERS, AND BREAKING THE LAW.

This is the man you all support, a piece of shit crook. And now, that piece of shit crook is placing 100% certifiable nut jobs in our courts, who believe conspiracy theories and revel in their anti-semitism, as they themselves, are self loathing, self hating Jews, who have fooled a bunch of you idiots into believing that Zionist Jews in or outside of Israel, give one flying fuck about your Christianity.

Have any of you born again, Zion supporting Evangelicals ever actually hung out with Jews in Israel? Have any of you actually ever befriend Jews, lived among them, worked with them daily? Not American born Jews, but born and raised in Israel Jews, who support Netanyahu100%. Wanna know something? THEY laugh when discussing what idiots American Evangelicals are, for believing in some crazy dude named Jesus, or any of the shit that you all actually believe align any of you with actual Jews/Israelis. Most actually think you’re all a bunch of idiots for supporting the lobbyists who promote Zionist interest before the swaths of homeless, American Veterans, walking around LA, SF, Chicago, and NY, like fucking zombies. They do not understand you, and think you’re stupid. TRUTH. But they’ll take your cash, so keep on tithing, fools.

JFC, you people are just so over the top confused and/or corrupt.

One day, we will overcome, cunts. 20 more years, and you’re all done. America WILL be BLUE.

And before anyone gives me shit, I am the ex-wife of a Jew from Israel, whom I adored, as well as his family. 98% of my friends are Jewish, and many straight from Israel.

I am not a Zionist, nor are my friends, yet some in our social groups are. I know plenty of them, and even worked with several. I know what Zionist Jews and Non-Zionist Jews think about Americans, particularly Evangelicals, and EVERYTHING I wrote above is 100% true.

Evangelicals mean nothing to Jews because they DO NOT believe in most of their own religious shit, yet love the traditions. That said, they certainly don’t believe in Jesus, or any of the crazy shit Christians extrapolate from the Bible. They interpret everything in a completely different way than Christians do. The Bible or what Christians think is the “Old Testament” or “Torah”, is a mixture of sacred tradition, uniting a people of Diaspora, and fables, as in Asop.

Americans, y’all need to grow up. For real.

The “Rapture” of the minds and critical thinking capacities of Christian Zionists and Evangelical Zionists.

Or:

How your goofy thinking is shaping America’s Middle Eastern policy, and literally KILLING innocents day in and day out, who haven’t even a bucket to piss in, all in the name of Jesus.

I’m sorry, but I am pissed off as fuck right now.

Every Christian should listen to the link @ R16.

More on Thomas Getman, the keynote speaker:

He'll be fine.

CAN ANY OF YOU EVEN FATHOM IN YOUR MIND, even entertaining the idea of taking a position that you KNOW you are not REMOTELY qualified for that will affect the lives of so so many! not a shred of integrity, decency, character, honor, shame! and you know for a JUDGE position that is suppose to be consumed with these human traits and wisdom!..

like the argument whose worse trump or a trump supporter, the same goes here, whose worse trump who nominated these people or these people who have no shame, not a ounce of it!..

R19, it sucks, because most Americans who follow this party lock, step & barrels, do so without truly understanding what Menashi stands for.

Most Evangelicals have been completely mislead by their money grubbing, power seeking, Christian leaders and local pastors, who are also mislead.

I don’t support terrorism. Any motherfucker who convinces and brainwashes a 14 year old for 5 years plus, into strapping on explosives and walking into a crowded area in Israel and blowing himself up, deserves to fry. These are evil fucks. We all know this.

But conversely, let’s not look the other way, and ignore the other evil fucks. Men who claim to serve the Americans, and vow to uphold constitutional norms and law, who also exploit religious bigotry and zealotry, while shaping policy that is thinly veiled within the perception of an interpretation of Biblical prophecy, which also just happens to promote their self interests in career opportunities, while fattening the hell outta their off shore bank accounts. So what if a bunch of innocent Palestinians die, go without food, medicine, etc.?

Because make no mistake, Mike Pompeo serves the gods of Money and Power. And meanwhile, Americans in our heartlands and South, full heartedly believe that their support of these greedy monsters is God’s will.

Maybe I read a different Bible? Because the Bible I read, introduces to mankind, a man named Jesus, who said he was the Son of God. He said he came to break the old Law. He came to free mankind from living in a world where following useless traditions and rituals was of higher importance than the one commandment that covers it all: “Love thy neighbor”.

Here we are, as divided as the Middle East, in our own country. Throwing punches at each other, living lives divided as intended by those who have always sought out the most effective means of dividing and manipulating us, through politics, religion, race, income, class, education, etc.

That’s not the person I want to be nor did I ever aspire to hating a stranger, just because they’re a stranger who looks, talks, acts, and believes differently than those with whom I am familiar.

Conservatives are being conned. They should re-read their own bibles, because Jesus Christ speaks of this.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves”

Matthew, 7:15 - KJV

This is why I turned away from organized religion. I know my Bible too, & from what I understand, this current political culture, this blind worship of DJT, is not what Jesus taught as biblical, nor did he endorse it. And for you Christians who believe that DJT is the broken vessel to be used by the Master Potter, please read that again. The broken vessel is JESUS, not Trump. Stop reading the Bible, and translating it to apply to anything that suits you. Understand, that none of us actually can truly claim to interpret it correctly, and that it is a subjective book. And just because it’s subjective, that doesn’t mean that it was actually written to suit YOU and YOUR needs, and that your current context has zero to do with context of biblical times, or Constantine’s time. Be willing to admit that prophecy is not a real skill, based on scientific fact. It’s a claim. Weather reports are scientific, Dispensation is NOT.

Christians need to rethink what their relationship with Christ really means. If it means supporting corrupt and lawless men in government and churches, then perhaps you’re not truly saved. Because again, the message is simple and VERY clear: “Love thy neighbor”.

If you’re a Christian, ask yourselves what JESUS MEANT WHEN HE SAID THAT, NOT WHAT YOU THINK JESUS MEANT WHEN HE SAID THAT.

Don’t any of you care anymore? Man, the world is watching. We ALL are.

Really depressing. I thought with the press this POS got that he wouldn't make the cut. So I guess Tim Scott didn't have an issue with his racist writings. The Senate is just rubber-stamping every joker Trump sends over.

The judicial branch of our government has been poisoned and it will be decades before we get out from under it. Even having Democrats in the WH and controlling both parts of Congress will be of limited help as these judges will do everything they can to stop anything remotely progressive from becoming law.

One of Trump's most insidious "gifts" to the American people: a stream of unqualified, racist, homophobic, sexist, white nationalist judges given lifetime appointments on the federal bench.

R5, your post contradicts itself, and that’s exposure to corruption and bribery are EXACTLY the reasons why a person who enters into this position should have extensive experience. The decisions these judges make affect you and me directly, sooner or later.

This job isn’t a coin toss. You don’t wing this kind of shit, & you certainly don’t pursue judicial appointments when you know you have never ruled or written a dissent paper or a referendum to current laws, as interpreted by you, because you have extensive experience clerking for men and women who taught you how it’s done.

Read his “papers” or ridiculous, unfounded opinions that have ZERO to do with Constitutional law, in order to better understand his opinions on the Israel Lobby, Anti-Muslim policies, anti-legal immigration based on origins of ethnographical countries, favoring Swedes over Afghans, or his position on women’s rights to maintain physical autonomy, meaning the right to exist under equal Rule of Law for all.

Listen, R5, if you think this man is now a justice who is here to promote American interests over all interests, think again. He’s here to work for Israel, not Americans. And if he’s working for Israel first, he is most probably also working for anyone who can outbid Israel.

That’s why he got appointed. To keep the money flowing. He’s a two-bit money launderer, just like his boss, except wearing a robe.

Some context as to why these things are happening very quickly, all at once...

There have already been several threads on this OP. Would it have killed you to have done a search first before you posted this? I mean really? What’s wrong with having a little consideration for others and doing a search first? Would it really have been that hard? Would it?

Great series for those who want to actually learn, rather than bicker and argue:

Part 1/7. Watch Part 1, and consequent parts 2-7 play automatically after viewing whatever part you start with.

R26 nice try, but that only works on plebs
