It looks like Frum is missing an obvious thing here: the Immigration “crisis” is entirely manufactured and wielded by aspiring fascists and xenophobes.

I haven’t listened yet, but just for context: did he identify himself as Tucker Carlson while he made these calls? And if not, who did the IDing? And if so... wow. Just... wow.

Frisco Kid is advanced-level Judaism. 

Sometimes  comment of the week comes in the closing seconds of that week. Good work amigo.

In a just universe, his head would have burst into flame the moment those words left his mouth. The absence of that phenomenon is more evidence of the kind of universe we’re really living in.

God I hope so. Gotta cling to the little things that bring us joy.

Got damn this is good. I owe you a schapps at kiddush.

She’s so goyish she thinks Lender’s pierced-bread-roll products are bagels

He had a good run! July 5 to March 8 - that’s 35 Scaramuccis!

Man, I’d love to see this campaign. He won’t even get all of the Moulton family vote!

There is a lot of truth to it. France and Germany, especially, are seeing a spike in actual anti-Semitic acts on par with the spike we’re seeing here.

As far as I remember, LBJ didn’t break the actual filibuster, did he (I could be wrong, I haven’t studied it in a while)? I thought he got Civil Rights Act and similar passed via horse trading and scaring the shit out of Richard Russell implying that “worse” (from Russell’s POV) would come if they didn’t give a sop to…

Yeah, good point.

Get to 60 seats, I guess? Or buy off the Collinses and Murkowskies of the world with fat local development projects. Or get LBJ to convince them that if they don’t pass it now they’re going to get steamrolled by something much less palatable (like he did with Richard Russell and the Civil Rights Act).

(THE GREATER GOOD!)
