The Perils of Identity

 

Former President Donald Trump’s Attorney General, Bill Barr, believes his old boss is in very serious trouble — if “even half” of what is laid out in the 37-count federal indictment against him is true.



The Perils of Identity

I have, embarrassingly, been watching "The Jewish Matchmaker" on TV. People from different countries, walks of life, educational and cultural levels, all come together the find a mate, using the great unifier in their lives: Judaism. And these people, with all their diversity ask for nothing other than a mate with continuity with their respective religious demands.

And they don't work. They don't match up. And the factor is never the diversity of their lives, it is a slight disparity in the beliefs that unify them, religious beliefs that hold them in common. What on the surface looks to be a classic example of identity organization fails; the very identity that should unite them, divides them because the identity's demands are too pure.

This looks bad for Trump. So much is self-inflicted. He went after Barr today--who was giving what he thought was a legal opinion--and Trump thought it was a loyalty test.
