But, if you really know me, you also know that I will not risk rate actual bigotry, including antisemitism, at all. Ever. Trump has skirted the boundaries of the dividing line between obvious antisemitism and implied antisemitism for a while now (although he is very obviously a bigot in other ways). His actions over the past few days have thrust him past the boundary "implied" and into the "obvious."

At the second presidential debate, the Republican paced and pouted and sighed, but failed to patch together his collapsing campaign.

"Trump is a serial hypocrite who outdid himself with the attacks on Bill Clinton.

He once criticized Republicans for impeaching Clinton. "Look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally un-important. And they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense.

He also attacked Monica Lewinsky’s looks. “People would have been more forgiving if (Bill Clinton) had an affair with a really beautiful woman of sophistication.”

He called Paula Jones a loser and, in 1999, called Hillary Clinton “a wonderful woman.” He also said, 'She's been through more than any woman should have to bear.'"

Trump and BDS are symptoms of the same illness | Fred Maroun

Despite living at a time when immensely more information is available at our fingerprints than ever before, and even......

This is a very wise and well written article.

"What explains this is the public’s growing inability to think critically. If the U.S. dodges the bullet of Trump in this election, that bullet will keep coming back, both in the U.S. and elsewhere. In Britain, that bullet is called Jeremy Corbyn. In France, it is called Marine Le Pen. Not surprisingly, one of Trump’s promises is to further weaken the education system. What the U.S. and the world needs is a stronger education system, and an education system where critical thinking is rewarded.

Earlier generations had much less information available to them, therefore thinking critically was a simpler task. Today we are bombarded with information of all kinds, much of it untrue or only partially true. We need the ability to sort through vast amounts of disorganized data in order to filter out the factual and essential elements, and to make sense of them. The task is daunting and intimidating, but those of us who are not capable of it will be the victims of snake-oil salesmen like Trump, BDS, and many other charlatans waiting to take advantage of us."
