Related: About this forum(Jewish Group) Will Michael Cohen Unleash A Torrent Of Anti-Semitism By Turning Against Trump?
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)I can already hear the dog whistles. New York Lawyer. Shylock. Judas. Michael (((Cohen))).
Whether we would have chosen him or not, the Presidents former fixer, Michael Cohen, who pled guilty on Tuesday to evading personal income taxes, making an unlawful corporate campaign contribution and six other counts, is a Jew. This unfortunately makes him everything many Trump cultists could hope for in terms of a traitorous villain to this story.
The slow, necessary, inevitable death of Trumpism possibly began with Cohens plea deal on Tuesday, and now a swath of Donalds loyalists have Western civilizations perennially perfect fall guy.
I spent Tuesday with my mouth slightly ajar, like most people watching the Breaking News television crawl seemingly set on an automatic loop. But Cohens decision to cooperate with law enforcement after pleading guilty to a litany of damning charges isnt entirely a surprise.
For weeks, the man and his legal team hinted at their openness to switching allegiances, shooting out statements and leaked rumors like flares from a sinking ship. Still, it didnt lessen the shock of Tuesdays news cycle, watching in awe at just how quickly a watershed moment in American history can unleash itself.

I brought this up to my husband the other night. I can see how this can turn quite ugly, from BOTH sides, but mainly from the right. Oh, for shits and giggles, read the one (at this time) comment from a user called "AddicitionMyth", this POS is all over "The Forward" and would make Roy Cohn blush with shame. It never ceases to amaze me how many "Jews" are willing to ignore what is right in front of their goddamned faces, including those who wouldn't know anti-Semitism if it goose-stepped on their necks!

(3,051 posts)He just happens to be our liar, for the moment. (To paraphrase Dick Nixon, discussing the Shah of Iran.)
Cohen is a complete scum bag. He was Trump's fixer for decades.
He may be useful. But he remains a snake.
And, yes, his surname is unfortunate.
Flip or no flip, he's "not good for the Jews" to use a phrase oft-spoken in my generation.
I cringe at him the way I cringed at Bernie Madoff.

In this case with Cohen I agree this will come mostly from the right, but history has demonstrated that the scape goating of Jews has been a common past time from those on the extreme left and right

(16,311 posts)He has made 8850 posts on the Forward, he seems really obsessed with Jews/Zionists. He also thinks that drug and alcohol addiction is fake as well as autism. What a nut.
