  2. A quotation from The Talmud

    When the Egyptians were drowning in the Red Sea, the angels in heaven began to break forth in songs of jubilation, but the Holy One, blessed be He, silenced them: “My creatures are perishing — and ye are ready to sing!”
     
    בִּקְּשׁוּ מַלְאֲכֵי הַשָּׁרֵת לוֹמַר שִׁירָה, אָמַר הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא: מַעֲשֵׂה יָדַי טוֹבְעִין בַּיָּם, וְאַתֶּם אוֹמְרִים שִׁירָה

  4. #Trump's mental acuity has collapsed right before our eyes. He has now endorsed the theory that #Biden died back in 2020 and was replaced by a clone. This is a person who's sanity has become unstable. And yet no one is questioning his sanity instead just accepting that this lunacy is normal.

    At the same time we have a billionaire who decided to kill children by withholding aid with the indifference of a sociopath to the outcome. All while Trump sits idly by and allows it to occur. And our #secretaryofstate , #Rubio, turns a blind eye and spews that no one is dying.

    The total lack of #empathy and the #callousness of their actions show how deeply flawed their character is.

  5. A quotation from Hugo, Victor:

    «
    It is characteristic of this form of punishment, inspired by all that is pitiless, that is to say brutalizing, that gradually, by a process of mindless erosion, it turns a man into an animal, sometimes a ferocious one.
