[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New York Post report claims US intelligence believes Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay, a claim that reportedly surprised Donald Trump, who “laughed aloud” during the briefing.

Sources say Trump “couldn’t contain his surprise and laughed aloud.”

One official reportedly “has not stopped laughing about it for days.”

Intelligence reportedly suggests Mojtaba had “a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.”

The claim was “derived from one of the most protected sources that the government has.”

One source said: “The fact that this was elevated to the highest of high levels shows there’s some confidence in this.”

Can yall at least be consistent. First, You say that Iranian officials kill all gays and throw them off rooftops. Now you saying Iranian officials selected a gay man to be their supreme holy leader. And as Trump was laughing out loud, did Bessent sit there quietly saying nothing, because surely Trump considered news of a gay man leading his people insulting and laugh worthy. [/quote]

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Ironic considering the geopolitical situation, but the idea still applies:

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. 
But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. 
The anti-Semites have the right to play.
