As I understand it, NYPD has a significant number of retired policemen, to the point of them being a practical voting block. Add that to the US's obvious love of law and order... maybe not their own branch of government, but the NYPD government has too much reverence for the NYPD to try and affect it? What's the overall rep of the NYPD? Obviously in Europe I see a lot of the horror stories, but I always figured most of your police have to be pretty good, with some being better or worse than others. | ||

many far right groups have been using ((( ))) to denote jewishness on various online platforms for some time. that coupled with the does no equal sign in the center could therefore be read as jews are not equal | ||

The ones that come to mind are successful ICBM tests from NK and Germany having a bad time forming a new ruling coalition. Beyond that, though, the year seems to have mostly been remarkably uneventful by most standards. No events that really stick out as all that definitive or impactful. nothing comes to mind; but that's more because of trump's presence blotting out other stories rather than other thinsg not happening. it also kinda depends on what counts as "no involving trump"; since most events involve the US one way or another. | ||

That's time better spent reading the thread and commenting as others have. Also picked up by NRO. (Josh Blackman wrote a separate piece). | ||

Terror attacks as a group: London terror attacks/Manchester Arena/Barcelona/Manhattan bike path. Grabbed world headlines. Venezuelans against Maduro is 2017 Catalan independence saga and that's all I got off the top of my head | ||

Alt-right have been using triple parentheses to identify Jewish "globalists" on twitter for a while now. It's a hard J jew label. Only the "Hitler did nothing wrong" crowd use it. | ||

Married Catholic lawyer and father of eight or nine. I like his legal, politics, and culture tweets. And, if it wasn’t obvious from conservative Jews citing his work, he’s a friend to the Jewish community. | ||
