ReplyDeleteNow that the Democrats have a miniscule majority in the Senate, this country can move forward. The radical left will not have a major say in government, because the Democrats' majority isn't large enough. And the republican instrangience and bigotry will be silenced, at least for two years.
Let's hope they manage to fix ObamaCare, streamline immigration, do something about climate change, and really reform the police. Better environmental protections and criminal reform will just be extras. And stop the coddling of dictators and meaningless attacks on allies. And how about meaningful China reform instead of empty self-defeating posturing. I can go on forever, but meanwhile Lechayim Yidden!
Ah Freilichen Nittel!
Why does Hefkervelt allow drunk people to post comments here.
DeleteUr 100% right trump is a sick person and as a supporter of trumps policies I am happy he will be gone as he is a horrible person with good policies.
DeleteCIVIL WAR HAS BEGUN!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteWell said, 11:22 AM. Dittos!
DeleteEVERY SINGLE POST gets ruined with your drivel EVERY SINGLE DAY!
DeleteEnough already!
We know you love & support evil. You support the worst kind of human beings.
If you would have been alive during the Holocaust, you would be helping the Nazis put people like us into the ovens.
I'm embarrassed to have you as a member of Klal Yisroel.
And Chaim, I am embarassed that the deranged extremists in our Republican party, that are taking over the Capitol now, are getting support from some in the frum community. This is insane and dangerous. I am not the one who posted at 5:43 AM. There are others, like me, who supported Trump but don't support what he is doing now.
DeleteChaim - nobody know whom you mean?
DeleteAre you an upstanding member of society, who understands that we need a leader who uses sechel, not emotion, and makes decision using information, not his gut? In short, are you a biden supporter?
Or are you someone who thrives on chaos and stupidity, and wants another four years of fact-free rhetoric based policies? In short, a trump supporter.
To whom are you directing your holocaust comparisons?
To you and you ilk!
DeleteMay Hashem save us from people like you.
Hefkervelt needs to do something about this crazy, radical, nutjob Biden supporter that hijacks every single post on this site.
DeleteAnyone who watched the proceedings at the different State legislatures knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that this election was stolen.
DeleteI actually DIDN'T vote for Trump, but if elections are allowed to be stolen then we are living in a banana republic like Iran.
Keep in mind, that the side that successfully stole this election stands against everything Frum Yidden stand for.
Rabbosei, Galus America is collapsing and as always there are those in our midst that support evil.
May Hashem protect us from our enemies within - like the lunatic who rants & raves everyday on this site about how wonderful Biden and his supporters are.
"And Chaim, I am embarassed that the deranged extremists in our Republican party, that are taking over the Capitol now, are getting support from some in the frum community"
Delete*******
Why do you fall for this every time?
Even Hefkervelt (which tolerates the most left-wing anti-Torah comments) posted from a former FBI agent that Antifa has infiltrated the protests.
And by the way, did you see any of the damage that "your boys" (Antifa & BLM) have done to tens of cities around the country? Where were you then?
Well, if an anonymous former FBI agent made such a claim without any evidence, I am sure its true.
DeleteCrazy, radical, nutjob. Nice.
DeleteMaybe someone infiltrated his mind and pretended to be a leftwing rightwing triple agent in order to bring down 5G and vaccination autism something something something.

I have a lollipop for you, if you want
DeleteI told you once before that you look very unintelligent by typing in caps. It shows a low level of education even before one reads the content of your message.
DeleteI never missed an election since I turned 18. I voted straight Republican always.
ReplyDeleteIts going to be very hard to get me to ever vote again. I don't believe my vote counts anymore.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Our country is screwed.
I BELEIVE AND I TRUST IN HA-SHEM
DeleteAgudah doing its best suck up to chuck shumer as they smell victory.
ReplyDeleteThey attacked Trump at every opurtunity shame on them
Why shame on them we are in galus and we should shmeck to everyone that can help us. I am sure u accept all the goodies handed out by the democrats just like 90% of our community does.
DeleteAt this point how can you not attack Trump? He is acting completely deranged now. I always thought he was nuts but I supported him anyway because of his policies, but this is way over the top and dangerous to our democracy. The smooth transition of power is one of the most important parts of our electoral process
DeleteThere is no transition of power the Dems stole the election.
DeleteAgudah gave Schumer free reign yet attacked Trump again and again they put klal yisrael in sakana
DeleteThis election was clearly stolen and you want people to just accept that?
DeleteWould you just roll-over and play dead if someone stole your house or car?
It's a real shame the Hefkervelt has been taken over by the very small minority in our community that are self-hating Jews.
ReplyDeleteWell in our community only a minority have coputers - with a heter - and even less use it. Thus Hefkervelt only serves a 'miut she'be'miut' to begin with. :).
ReplyDeleteThis 'news' is really funny. Today's 'protests' really take the cake, and they are worse than anything BLM produced. Yet 'News'max wants to use it to teach the democrats a lesson..............
ReplyDeleteThey are worse than anything BLM produced?!
DeleteWhat are you smoking?
BLM caused tens of billions of dollars in damages, destroyed entire downtowns in numerous cities, killed and injured scores of people, etc.
Just GO AWAY ALREADY!
Maybe move to Portland and live with your kind.
Why tens of billions? Maybe tens of trillions?
DeleteWikipedia writes that the damage was not even one billion.
But this was another issue completely. If they can stop the normal functioning of government, the glue that holds together the fabric of society is unraveled. That affects every one of us, because we would never live in a country without a viable government, אלמלא מוראה איש את רעהו חיים בלעו.
What? This is about the SEAT OF GOVERNMENT , the dominant branch of government, the center of power, the storming of our Capitol. How does ANYONE compare this with anything we have seen in our lifetime. This is TREASON and your buddy is to blame.
ReplyDeleteNo, it is not treason to protest against a stolen election.
DeleteWhat is treason is stealing an election and supporting those that do.
DeleteThe United States Capitol is hallowed grounds. It was desecrated today. Every American of both parties is outraged. How can you equate a stolen election, which did not happen but it it did, it has happened many times in the past, but our sacred Capitol was never disrespected. Even had the Confederate Army taken Washington no Rebel would have dared to lay finger to disrespect the Capitol.
Protesting isn't treason, storming the capitol is.
Deleteיחי ההבדל הגדול!
The events on Capitol Hill are the natural follow up to stealing an election. This was statted by the Democrats. Don't expect to steal an election and the other side goes down quietly. In fact we're lucky there is no full fledged war now.
ReplyDeleteI hope this violence ends now.
I find it uncomfortable to argue with such entrenched opinions, but please listen to me.
ReplyDeleteWhether you wanted Trump to win or Biden, the sun still rises in the East, so let us take some facts that we can look at with our own eyes.
Take any piece of evidence that is being used to 'show' fraud, in total isolation of all other pieces of evidence, and examine it. Does it show anything real? For example, the out of state license plates on delivery vans, that were used to 'show' that something dodgy is happening. If we think for a minute, we will realize that it is just not true, there is no reason to suspect that legitimate ballots should not be transferred with a rental van, and rental vans have plates from all over the country.
When they claim that over 100% of registered voters of a certain county voted, check it up yourself. Are they using the numbers of the same year? Are they including same-day registration? Are there any other issues that they are confusing? When they say that votes in Georgia were counted multiple times, how does that fit with the three audits that were done? Audits means that they hand counted the ballots, after the machine counting, and no significant new numbers were found.
I did that to some claims, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Every single one that I checked, turned out to be absolute nonsense. There wasn't even a speck of smoke to imagine there is a fire. Totally innocuous statements and stories are being made out to be some nefarious plots.
Who is the one twisting these stories? Why? And how can anyone trust anything they say any more?
It should be pretty clear to all of us that this election was as honest as elections can go. No serious hanky panky took place, it is just not true. You may have wanted Trump to get another four years, but we are adults and we know that we don't always get what we want.
Although the Democrats nominally have control over the Senate, their control is an illusion as the Democrats do not work in lockstep, and they will not rubberstamp anything. So there is place for compromise and good will. The future is not that bleak. Just like always, when we live with others, we must learn to compromise. It is a good lesson for life!
It shouldn't have taken longer then 15 minutes to get 750 fully armored police/guardsmen with big metal sticks into the capitol. From there it should take about 2 minutes to chuck all the invaders out while beating up anyone who tries to stay.
ReplyDeleteThe other word for that is law and order :)
And just ignore the suitcases of ballots that were taken out from underneath the tables as soon as the Republican observers were removed. How convenient.
ReplyDeleteOk, so you have a claim that 'suitcases' of ballots were taken out from under a table, when Republicans left. Let us examine this claim.
Delete1. These were regular ballot boxes, like all ballot boxes, nothing nefarious here.
2. They were under a table. How is that a problem? Should they be in the middle of the room for people to trip over them?
3. The republican observers were removed. Is that true? How and why? Did anyone get to the bottom of it? Because the video cameras were still rolling, there was nothing that could be done without being seen. So it was being observed by everyone, republican and democrat.
4. If I am not mistaken, that story was in Georgia, a state that had three recounts. So it has been proven that no extra ballots were pushed in, at that time.
This is quite easy, use a little sechel and you will see that you are being played by certain members of the republican party, who btw have made hundreds of millions of dollars on these claims. Only a tiny percent of that money actually went into fighting the cases. The rest went into people's pockets.
