Obama the Insult Comic President: After his successful performance at last week’s White House Correspondent’s Dinner, President Obama has decided to sharpen his comedic chops and try his hand at insult comedy. Which is pretty weird of him.
~ AHahhahahahahaha SOOOO TRUE!!!
“The continuing growth of the wage gap between high and middle earners is the result of various laissez-faire policies (acts of omission as well as commission) including globalization, deregulation, privatization, eroded unionization, and weakened labor standards…The gap between the very highest earners — the top 1 percent — and all other earners, including other high earners, reflects the escalation of CEO and other managers’ compensation and the growth of compensation in the financial sector.”
— Larry Mishel, President of the Economic Policy Institute, speaking about the institute’s forthcoming study, “The State of Working America.”

So here we go:
“Who cannot Register?
Judaism is interested in preserving the sanctity and distinctiveness of the Jewish people. In order to become a part of the Jewish people, therefore, one must freely choose to do so – through halachic conversion, and not through marriage. Marriage laws in Israel are in accordance with Jewish law; thus, there are couples who are ineligible for marriage. If you fall into such a category, the rabbinate will inform you of such when you come to register, and attempt to find a viable halachic solution. If it is unable to come up with a solution, you will not be able to legally marry in Israel. If you get married abroad and return to Israel – you will be registered as married in the population registry.
The following couples are not eligible for registration:
• Jews marrying non-Jews: A Jew cannot marry a Christian, Muslim, Druze, or a person with no religious affiliation. The only solution to such a situation is proof of Jewish identity (if it was in doubt) or conversion (if the partner was not Jewish).
• Cohanim marrying divorcees, converts, a widow who performed chalitza or the offspring of a non-recognized marriage. The daughter of a kohen may marry a divorcee or convert. Many families of Cohanim have identifiable last names, such as Cohen, Kahn, Azulai, Katz, and Kaplan. Not every person with such a last name, however, is necessarily a Cohen, and not every Cohen will have an identifiable last name. Such a situation can sometimes be resolved by casting doubt on the priestly lineage of the groom (by researching the family line), and in the case of a divorcee, by questioning the validity of her first marriage (and thus, her status as a divorcee).
• Mamzer with a non-Mamzer: The children of a Jewish woman who were conceived from another Jew while she was married (religiously or civilly) to another Jew are considered mamzers, or potential-mamzers. They and their offspring can only marry other mamzers or converts for several generations. The offspring of forbidden (incestual) intimate relationships are also considered mamzers. This situation can sometimes be solved by casting doubt on the mother’s marriage to her husband (who was not the child’s father) or on the paternity of the child.

• Same sex couples.
• Temporary restrictions:
- A divorcee may not remarry within 92 days of her official divorce;
- A bride who is pregnant not with the groom’s child can marry the groom only a few months-two years after she gives birth (the precise waiting time is determined by the rabbinic court, and is dependant on when the baby stops nursing).
~ Now that sounds like a wonderful final solution, I know I’ve heard THAT somewhere before.”
When you can’t marry the person you love then the “rabbinate will inform you of such when you come to register, and attempt to find a viable halachic solution.” Now if they determine that’s a no go, you’re expelled, forced to leave the country to marry.
As consolation, they should also be forced to get a cool tattoo!
They’ve really nailed down the racial purity, eugenics thingy; of course, they have had superb instruction: Hitler, Goebbels, Eichmann etc They would be so incredibly proud of the slight of hand in evil pushing an insane propaganda of hate regime. They’d be raging mad with jealousy hadn’t though of it first!
The villainy taught, better executed, watch it go hard but
will better the instruction. ~Shylock’s golden ratio.
As though that’ll all matter in the countless centuries of spiraling self inflicted murder, greed, murder, greed, not necessarily in that order.
Expect even greater mass genocide to follow. Likud should droit du seigneur or prima noctis this shit shizzo and get this eschatology party started.
