…”perhaps fittingly will rip up Constitution Avenue. In one of the greatest examples of unintended symbolism in America history trumps tanks will literally trample upon the Constitution.” The stark symbolism of that sentence, embraces everything that is wrong with the desecration of Flag Day and our In Gos we Trust, trust. I weep with the France. 🇫🇷

Thank you from Canada, Rabbi! We too hold our Constitution dear and are drawing the Hitler comparisons as well!

Trump is doing exactly what I saw would happen and told everyone not to vote for him in 2015. People told me I was nuts and dismissed me. Now, unfortunately, my words have proven prophetic. I take no consolation in this. This is disgusting desecration of our holiest of holy! No one important will watch. We will be protesting against Trump, his incompetent immoral administration, and against all MAGA House and Senate Representatives who are too cowardly to do what is right. They will all (every last one including Trump) feel our wrath and contempt. Karma is on it's way!

Have sent this more than excellent Notebook entry to all my ex-pat friends here in Germany. Thank you, Rabbi Hammerman, for your great insights (as always) and so much that we know already but are glad to have someone put it all into a comprehensive, well-written form.

Come on Biden, dig deeper in Trump's head as he tries to slumber. Have your "Clone" wave at him on his balcony as you pass by as Grand Master in the 1st tank on his BD. Wear that colorful chicken suit with pride as only your face is viewable, lift that chicken wing in a one fingered salute. I'm waiting for the meme on this one.😁
