Bless you everyday, but especially today for your comments about Greene and the rise of anti-Semitism in this country and around the world. The prospects are terrifying if this kind of rhetoric continues to ramp up, so our path as clear-minded, humane, democracy-loving people is clear. Thank you for all of your efforts, even during the big move with your daughter's family! So impressive.
Hi Robert, I am so grateful for your voice of reason. It has carried me in the last year when I felt overwhelmed by network news. Today's edition is the first where I feel the impulse to say something to you. It is in response to the following: "Let me close by saying that everyone has a moral obligation to speak out against anti-Semitism. This hit a nerve with me. It seems every week there is a new moral obligation: BLM, LGBTQ, Asians, MeToo, etc. All of these touch me very deeply, but I find the labels to be problematic. We are all humans and we owe it to each other to act with compassion and appreciation for the challenges every one of us has had to deal with. Somehow this overriding obligation can get lost when we focus on the abuses of the week. Thanks for listening.
Hi, Ed. I agree with you that we have a moral obligation to speak out against all forms of racism and gender-based discrimination. But i have to say i am thunderstruck every time i receive a note from a reader that says, "I was in a concentration camp; it is going to happen again." As to those people, we owe a special duty of care. Of course, America put Americans of Japanese ancestry in concentration camps as well, so I should have included Asian Americans as well. And, of course, Hitler exterminated gay men. so, i guess you are right. . .
Thanks for your thoughtful response, Robert. I recently watched the series Underground Railroad and the pain visited on the blacks was so hard to watch. I feel that influenced my response to you. Blacks in America live in the fear of those times just as our Jewish friends do.
Consider this. Donald Trump says he won the 2020 election and also says he is running in 2024. If he does run in ‘24, wouldn’t that be a third term? Can someone be POTUS while incarcerated? So many questions. Joking (or jokers) aside, you’re absolutely correct in concentrating on midterm and state elections. Too many crazies are trying to subvert our nation.
I do not believe that there is a prohibition on running for president for someone who is incarcerated. If Trump won and was in prison or under indictment at the time, presumably he would pardon himself.

Terrific idea re a movement to out MTG. I’m in!

The scary part of that particular scenario is that there are trumpists that would vote for him under any circumstance.
You’re amazingly coherent considering your circumstances! And right on point. Thank you, Robert!
