Letter to President Trump from Pittsburgh Jewish Leaders

 

Quote

President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you fully denounce white nationalism.

 

Our Jewish community is not the only group you have targeted.  You have also deliberately undermined the safety of people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and people with disabilities. Yesterday’s massacre is not the first act of terror you incited against a minority group in our country.  

 

President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you stop targeting and endangering all minorities.

 

The murderer’s last public statement invoked the compassionate work of the Jewish refugee service HIAS at the end of a week in which you spread lies and sowed fear about migrant families in Central America. He killed Jews in order to undermine the efforts of all those who find shared humanity with immigrants and refugees.

 

President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you cease your assault on immigrants and refugees.

 

The Torah teaches that every human being is made b’tzelem Elohim, in the image of God.

We'll never recover.

 

When you throw out so much disinformation, it casts doubt on everything, making the truth that much harder to find.

 

It's like the episode of The Office wherein Michael reveals that Stanley is having an affair. He wants to discredit that fact after accidentally spreading it, so he starts spreading ridiculous rumors about everyone. At some point there's so much noise that no one believes anything.

 

Trump has done the same thing. Just pump out enough bullshit that the truth is completely drowned out. Any accusers are "fake." Any opponents were funded by Soros. Etc. His base loves to hear it and laps it up happily. Nothing matters. We're firmly post-truth.

 

 

 

Also, side note: how fucking tone deaf do you have to be to call the press the "Enemy of the People" in the immediate wake of someone trying to blow up members of the media?

On top of that, let's note the fact that this time, after the synagogue shooting, he called the media "the true enemy of the people", implying the shooter is not a true enemy of the people like the media is.

 

Like. Holy shit.

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

 

Quote

PITTSBURGH—In the hours following a violent rampage in Pennsylvania in which a lone attacker killed 11 individuals and seriously injured six others, including four police officers, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Saturday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said Minnesota resident Eric Morgan, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this individual from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what they really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past eight years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”

 

How many times has this run where they simply change the location and picture?
