Comments on Open Mic for the Week of 5/12/2025 by Saul Degraw in reply to Jaybird

So you have an admin that claims it is all about fighting anti-Semitism and expelling people it holds to be anti-Semitic because they can be embarrassments or whatever and then they go and admit a lot of people who are really sad that Apartheid ended and they know have to give Black people equal rights. Plus one of them is an outright anti-Semite of the most vile tropes of anti-Semitism.

Is defending this really a hill you want to die on? Is there no sense of decency that makes a contrarian argument a bridge too far? Or are your neurons totally wired to middle-school class clown who owns the libz/contrarians uber allies?

Do you have any sense of decency? Or are you just a contrarian degenerate?

The admin that takes anti-Semitism seriously (allegedly) just made a raging anti-Semite a refugee to the United States: https://www.thebulwark.com/p/an-afrikaner-refugee-south-africa-has-thoughts-about-jews-antisemitism-trump/comments

In one case, Kleinhaus advocated for physical assault on an American citizen. Retweeting a story about a guy who had been given a citation for his part in a road-rage incident with another driver, Kleinhaus wrote, “He needs a beating urgently!” (Kleinhaus was upset because the other driver involved in the incident was driving a Tesla.)

But most importantly, Kleinhaus has also posted about Jews and Israel in the kind of way that might get someone who wasn’t a white South African deported—calling Jews “untrustworthy” and “dangerous.”

In April 2023, Kleinhaus responded to video of Christians scuffling with Israeli police on the way to the Church of the Nativity by saying Jews are naturally “untrustworthy.”

On October 7, 2023, Kleinhaus responded to the initial news of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel by posting a link to an Al Jazeera video, taken a few days earlier, of Orthodox Israelis spitting on Christians.

Five days after the October 7th attack, Kleinhaus posted a link to another video, hosted by a Facebook account called “Israel Is a Terrorist State,” that showed clashes between Christians and Israeli police. Kleinhaus wrote: “Jews attacking Christians!”

In a LinkedIn message to The Bulwark, Kleinhaus confirmed that this is his X account. Kleinhaus, who has resettled in Buffalo, said he was too busy filling out paperwork today to comment further. We also reached out to the State Department about this story but have not yet heard back; we will update the web version if we receive a comment.

Eh. I think David Hogg should have stayed but that in the end this is kind of gossip for the very online political hobbyist and probably does not matter at all for Democratic prospects in November 2026.

Plus JB likes to be an agent provocateur who thinks Dems are always screwing up

The New York Times will have us know that the Qatar’s illegal and unconstitutional bribe of a 400 million dollar plane to Trump, “strains the bounds of propriety.”

We will be killed by people who think it is untoward and gauche to be direct and pointed.

In this case I am referring to Elon but thanks for trolling.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre

Fleeing from war, political oppression, and starvation in Ukraine, Sudan, and other parts of the world? No thanks, don't come here.

Are you the former runners of brutally oppressive and racist regime and really upset that you are no longer in power? Please come, thanks:

It should be noted that Trusk had the U.S. government pay to fly the Afrikaaners here. You can take the boy out of Apartheid but you can't take the Apartheid out of the boy.
