According to many Orthodox Jews, there is no conflict between Israel and Palestine because there is no such thing as Palestine.

I have zero doubt that he would seriously love to have Ivanka all to himself. His dream is probably if she is widowed and never remarries and he can “comfort” her all of the rest of his days. He is completely in love with her...because she’s part him. Blech.

It’s perfect! He sends Jared off to the Middle East “and don’t come back until there’s peace!” Donald will finally have Ivanka all to himself. Maybe she’ll move into the White House, what with Melania staying in NYC...

I just wish people would stop playing it as a religious song.

The exhaustion and dehydration usually come from a manic bipolar episode. Or lots of drugs.

That plagiarism isn’t even good. The Kylie version looks so amateurish. Not that it’s an excuse if something ripped off is done better, mind you.

I agree with you... but, I still think all of the covers don’t capture Cohen’s sardonic style of singing Hallelujah.
Every cover I’ve heard takes itself way too seriously and plays it earnestly - which I don’t think is the spirit of the original song.

“Sleep deprived” is the new “exhaustion”

Let me guess.. He’s “exhausted.”

lol, sorry, I’ve been reading all the drumpf news and I guess I’m in a crabby fuck mood right now. I’m not even a Leonard Cohen fan, I just generally hate Americans right now.

They’ve undoubtedly hear the song before, though. It’s been used in approximately every soundtrack ever (though rarely the Cohen version).

Fucking Americans. “Yeah, I’ve been listening to Hallelujah all week, I’m so bummed about Leonard Cohen,” say millions of Americans who have never heard of Leonard Cohen before he died, then downloaded this song afterwards.

Used to listen to this song (the Jeff Buckley version at first...I wasn’t a cool enough teen to listen to Cohen) before really getting my heart stamped on and smushed into the floor by love. It’s such a weird thing to slowly come to realize a song through ten years of heart aches. Another fight, another soured…

Not necessarily thank them - but how about not shit on them for it. Steps in the right direction, however small, should not be punished.

I agree.

i get the snark, but really, for women of faith, this is a huge deal to them. Right or wrong, they feel like they’ve sinned and need forgiveness. This is a good thing. This is one of those moments where we can step out of our bubble a little bit and understand the progress that this is for faithful Catholics.

I’m not even Catholic, and I find your post kind of offensive...The church is oppressive, but as condesending as the Pope’s announcement may sound to many of us, it IS a tiny step forward for the church institution.

Do not compare Heidi to Melania , just don’t .

I’m not optimistic.

In Trump’s America, this shit is only going to get worse; more frequent and more brazen.
