In other words, in this case it's true that the only way to stop a bad guy with free speech is good guys with free speech!

Assuming every Democrat votes to impeach, it'll only take 4 Republicans to join them

For decades I've heard public servants pride themselves over the fact that they served the American people and not any particular president or administration, and now this guy just forcing himself on them (even those who have only worked there in the past!) pasting his face all over their history🤮

Boy is this a Monday....

Ah, that tracks :)

My point wasn't of course that your version was "wrong", it's not like the story happened, it's a rhetorical device and as such it'll change based on whether it's being used by a magic shiur teaching שער היחוד והאמונה or by R' Mendel Futerfas at a Farbrengen 🙂

Eventually the misnaged gives up and says "nu, what do YOU say Hashem would do?" to which the chassid replies "simple, he would just remove the דבר ה' and stop creating it..."

So the version I heard was purely educational. The chassid followed up by asking what would happen to the ash and the misnaged replied Hashem could bring a wind to blow out away, to which the chassid asked "blow it to where?" and so on.

"When Moshiach comes," replied moshke, "if you don't believe in him I won't believe in him either."

A story I heard which might be applicable here: in a town the galach liked dropping in to the local tavern to "debate" the local moshke who obviously wasn't at liberty to tell him where to shove his debates.

One day the galach says "well moshke, you keep claiming that my Messiah is not the real...

Well, if the post is to be believed, the crime was wiped out as evidenced by the fact that they stopped hanging criminals...

...except, they didn't?

I'm old enough to remember the 5 inch ones that were actually floppy 🙃

Mazal Tov!!!!

I too am interested in this

Agreed and I don't think that's a particularly controversial position to hold. I think most would agree that gender presentation plays a dominant role in issues like נגיעה and other tznius issues.

Lol that tracks

Potato: check
Fried: check

I see nothing wrong....

Lol so did you lose your ability to learn talmud when you came out? When you transitioned? Or were you just never able to learn talmud?

This can settle the argument on when you're considered "really" trans...
