If Republican Senators Were Like Crazy Mazie
They’d be censured for life.

As I emerged from the Jewish Holy Season, marking the beginning of Year 5781 since Creation, I was jolted from the spirituality and meaningfulness of Sukkot, Sh’mini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah into the reality of the New Filth that permeates American politics. The media like to blame the president for the degradation, but he is not the cause. He is the response and the reaction.
While the McCain family lives out its petty vengeance, bearing the grudges that prompted them even to bar John McCain’s vice presidential running mate, Sarah Palin, from his funeral, a fair-minded observer cannot avoid recognizing that the poison and vitriol in American politics long preceded Donald Trump. It was the Democrats who changed the landscape by murdering Judge Robert Bork’s name and reputation for a generation. While Republicans repeatedly treated Democrat Supreme Court nominees with kid gloves, the Democrats just assassinated one human being’s character after another. They destroyed Bork. They came up with the most racist, stereotypical garbage imaginable against Clarence Thomas. (Right? Black men leave their pubic hairs around women to attract them. Right?) They lied about Brett Kavanaugh, defaming that very extraordinary man, a man who reflects so elegantly the Divine spirit that reposes within all of us. In the presence of his dignified wife and innocent children, and before the eyes and ears of hundreds of millions of Americans, they proffered false accusations of rapes, attacks that never happened, fantasies of truly sick minds. And they knew they would get away with it — because no one except for that kid from Kentucky sues for defamation even though there’s money in that banana stand.
And then the Democrats pontificate and hypocritically ask why our democracy is no longer civilly bipartisan as it once was.
