There's a stupid game happening.
Right now, Harris' vp picks are purported to be either Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota or Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania. Minnesota is not in play; Pennsylvania is. If that was the only calculus in play, Josh Shapiro would be the pick, right?
Now, all of the sudden and from outta nowhere, Trump says that Harris Hates Jews. Which is patently ridiculous as she is married to a Jew, has two Jewish kids, held the first known Passover Seder at the Vice Presidential residence, and has a mezzuzah on her fucking front door.
She. Has. A. Mezzuzah. On. Her. Door.
At. The. Executive. Mansion.
Jews know what that means: when "they" start rounding up Jews, I'M RIGHT HERE.
This woman not only doesnt hate Jews, she stands with us in meaningful and significant ways.
So, why push the patently false antisemitic trope NOW? Why not pull it out on Yom Kippur? Much closer to the election. When she won't be in shul. Because she's not Jewish. And she has an election to win. Come on, you bring out the big guns in October.
No.
They're trying to force her into picking Josh Shapiro. They're trying to pick their opponent.
I dont know what they have on Shapiro. It has to be something worse than infidelity with a porn star or fucking a sofa. Whatever they have on Shapiro, they think itz "game over".
Problem is: they are both stupid and lacking in subtlety. They've just shown their hand.
If she DOES pick Shapiro, expect a teary confession 3 minutes into a 45 minute speech that ends with fiery rhetoric, and the whole thing is over.
If she DOESNT pick Shapiro, expect a 30 minute fiery speech from him at the DNC anyway. That was ALWAYS gonna happen. Like Pritzker is gonna talk. (I love Pritzker) It was always gonna happen. Jan Schakowski is likely gonna talk. There are gonna be A LOT of Jews talking. And then, THE NOMINEE IS GONNA KISS A JEW RIGHT ON STAGE.
I mean, red meat for their base would be to call her a Jew-lover.
No.
They're playing a game. A stupid game. Stupidly.
