I love Yiddish, because so many of their terms are just wonderful to use as a pithy description of despicable behavior.
Today, we focus on the word chutzpah, which means “effrontery”, “cheek”, “impudence”, “gall” and so much more in the same vein.
For those still unclear on the concept, here’s a wonderful example:
California Gov Gavin Newsom (D) recently traveled to Washington to seek federal aid for addressing the impact of the recent fires.
How is this chutzpah? Consider the context.
California, which failed to prevent the spread of wildfires in Los Angeles last month and is struggling to repair the damage, is set to spend nearly $10 billion on health care for illegal aliens.
…and even better:
Newsom recently signed $50 million in new spending to fight President Donald Trump’s policies.
I know what I would have said to him, were I the POTUS.
“Esn drek aun shtarbn, mamzer.”
For my non-Tribe Readers, that’s “Eat shit and die, you bastard.”
NewSCUM is so bad at his job that Kamala Harris could maybe defeat him in an election. Maybe that was the plan all along…
Newscum should be told to pound sand.
Why didn’t he spend the $50 million to help citizens in his state instead of criminals? Sounds to me like they have plenty of money already and Federal funding simply is not needed.
Then again the press will spin this as Republicans attacking their political opponents while they continue to ignore the situation of FEMA ignoring homeowners with pro Trump signs in their yards in North Carolina
Kim,
One classical definition of chutzpah is the kid who kills both parents in cold blood without cause or reason and then begs for mercy because he’s now an orphan.
Yeah, Newsome can pound sand.
