Racists: hate ethnic minorities for being unemployed, on welfare, with low education, and having kids outside of marriage.
Racists: also hate ethnic minorities for being employed, not using welfare, with high education, and raising kids in a nuclear family.

Serious question: why?
Is it because these people need somebody to hate, so they chose jews to be the boogeymen? It seems like such a random religious/ethnic group to start hating all of a sudden. | [

Jews are more loyal to Israel than to America.
Israel treats the Palestinians like the Nazis treated the Jews
Israel and its supporters are a bad influence on our democracy
Israel can get away with anything because its supporters control the media.
Israel does not have a right to defend itself against those who want to destroy it | [

Sure, let's work through it. The question was firstly not American Jews, but all Jews. Are Jewish people loyal to Israel? Many Jewish people have Israeli citizenship. Many in Europe, Russia, Iran and Africa have been targeted by their own governments and have already or have the option to move to Israel. Are Israeli Jews and persecuted Jews loyal to Israel? I would say a good many are. Now, none of the preceding statements are controversial and are even advertised in the article. Jews around the world are being persecuted and have a refuge in Israel. Does saying this mean someone hates Jewish people? This 'survey' tries to use ambiguity in it's wording to claim, yes. | [

incredibly tacky clothing choice
I guess it depends on if you’re viewing your boots through a lens of style or utility.
Your boots are meant to protect your pants from getting torn, muddy, dirty, snagging on things (fencing, branches, random debris). They’re supposed to fit snuggly into stirrups while also easily sliding in and out without getting caught on any tack (which your jeans might if they’re not tucked). A lot of boots even have a heel to help kick them off quickly if you need to take them off in a hurry, which is harder to do if your pants are in the way.
If you’re wearing your cowboy boots for utility, they go over your pants.
If you’re just wearing them for looks, wear them however you want. | [

Depends on so many things. Utility purpose, type of pants being worn, etc.
Skinny jeans, jeggings, leggings, to not tear up the pants, over.
Honestly, good cowboy boots are expensive and should be shown off.
I disagree and will give you your upvote.
All that being said, I don't even wear cowboy boots. | [

I agree. The stuff Trump had sounds like it was something you had to check out because that's how important it was to be tracked. Whereas what Biden had sounds like it was briefing material on different countries and it was classified, but not so serious that it was tracked. Most classified material people deal with isn't going to be serious enough to be tracked by the national archives, and when you're done with it, you just throw it in a burn bag. | [

Because they fully complied and there was no particular reason for them to bring it up? If Biden really was trying to hide it then his staff wouldn’t have been the ones to reach out to the archives saying “hey we found stuff that shouldn’t be here and you didn’t ask for, where should we send it”. It’s pretty common for documents to show up given the sheer number of briefings certain officials have, it’s the whole reason the archives tracks that kind of stuff, and unless the recovered docs are pertinent to national security it usually ends there.
Hell the whole Trump document retrieval had been in progress for over a year before anybody knew about it, and thats only because it’s kind of hard to hide an FBI search and seizure at a former President’s residence.

It would have been shady if he DIDN'T self-report that the documents existed and immediately turn them in - especially if he were a FORMER president who LIED multiple times and fought in court to try to keep them. Now THAT would be shady as hell.
