“Bupkis” is a Yiddish word that comes from a Slavic origin meaning goat dung.. I thought it was a bit rude to title this column, “If your opinions are full of goat shit, so are you,” and bupkis is one of his 10 words in Yiddish that I know. So I couldn’t resist the temptation to pretend to be bilingual.
Opinions lean to the right or left of the political spectrum, so it’s not full of bupki. My liberal opinions and some of your conservative opinions are biased. Because prejudice is the basis of politics.
Being bigoted and being full of bupkis are not the same thing. An opinion is absurd only if it is not supported by facts, evidence, or verified evidence, and lies, fabrications, and falsehoods are circulated instead.Bapkis is behind some crazy conspiracy theories, like one that claims Taylor Swift is a “Department of Defense official.” He is part of a “nefarious conspiracy” to help Joe Biden get re-elected.
Much of our politics is filled with bupki, mostly from the reactionary right and to a lesser extent from the gaslighting left.Make Trump a political martyr It’s Bupkis when he was charged with 91 criminal offenses in 4 criminal cases.Compare Trump to Hitler like Spike Lee did a few years ago The movie award acceptance speech is also amazing.
Hitler was responsible for the massacre of millions of Jews and non-Jews.President Trump recently called his political opponents ‘pests’ This is the same word Hitler used to describe Jews. But that doesn’t make Trump guilty of crimes against humanity. Not electing him a second time may be the safest way to keep comparisons to Hitler unwarranted.

All opinions are not equal, should not be given equal standing, and do not deserve the same attention. If I were teaching a Holocaust history class, I wouldn’t invite a Holocaust denier into the classroom and have him explain why he thinks the Holocaust never happened. There is a lot of evidence to prove that the Holocaust happened, but there is no evidence to prove that it never happened. Bapkis do not have the right to equal status and equal time in the classroom.
I will take the same position on climate change.Overwhelming scientific evidence shows climate change is real And human activity is thought to be the main reason ocean temperatures are rising and storms like droughts, floods and volcanoes are wreaking havoc on the planet. I don’t want to attend a climate change conference that includes climate change deniers.It just includes highly paid pseudoscientists who are funded by the fossil fuel industry.. In all its myriad manifestations, Bupkis is Bupkis, Bupkis.
The most disturbing recent example of Bupkis is the claim by Trump and his minions that the 2020 election was fraudulently won by Biden.. More than 60 courts at the state and federal level, including the Supreme Court, have ruled that President Trump’s claims of election fraud are without merit.Thirty-eight of the decisions were handed down by Republican-appointed judges..
President Trump’s evil intentions were at their peak when he spread the “Big Lie” that the election was fraudulent. In doing so, he rallied a base of supporters seeking retribution against the “corrupt” Democratic Party by electing him in 2024. Attempting to persuade tens of millions of voters to right a wrong that was never wrong is the worst kind of bupkiss.
To the MAGA nation’s haves, Trump is the Baron of Bupkis, and to the have-nots, he is the Baba of Bupkis. My argument that Trump is full of bupkiss is not bupkiss. The Washington Post reported that he lied more than 30,000 times during his presidency.. If a Bapkiss Hall of Fame were to be established, Trump and Tucker Carlson, Fox’s attorney in a defamation lawsuit against the station, acknowledged that “the facts that Tucker Carlson is telling are literally unbelievable.” Ta. Become a charter member.
I cannot stress enough that our religious beliefs are not full of bupkis. Our religious beliefs are premised on faith and are supported by Scripture, not scientific evidence. For example, there is no way to objectively know whether there is life after death until you die. Belief in an afterlife cannot be proven or disproved as a fact because none of us have died yet. We’ll realize that one day, but until we do, believing in life after death is no bupkiss.
Even proceeding with the pretense of holding the upcoming presidential election campaign is a huge waste of money and time. You don’t need to spend months watching negative ads filled with bupkis to decide who’s the next president.
Stop this pointless bickering and start voting today. If you don’t know now whether you want to vote for Biden, who is showing signs of dementia, or Trump, who is showing signs of dementia, then no matter what happens over the next nine months, you can’t decide. It won’t help you decide. Biden will still confuse Egyptian and Mexican presidents in November And President Trump will continue to call for the execution of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley..

This is a contest between two coots where every moment is a great moment. Biden is crippled in many ways (provable opinion) and Trump is irreparable in every way (OK, my bad, bad blow, that’s Bukis).
We are not voting for who we want to be president, we are voting to prevent someone we don’t want from becoming president. We have plenty of time to decide which candidate we dislike more. And just for the record, please don’t complain that you don’t like either of them. Get over it. This is not a Kumbaya party. Stifle your whining, piss at the bar, hold your nose, and vote.
