Resisting Trump for Over 60 Years
My grandparents – Sonja and Harry Kryshka – raised my Uncle Sid, Mom and Aunt Harriet in family-run bakeries throughout New York City. If you don’t know the kind of place I’m talking about, picture the stereotypical “Jewish bakery” in your mind and you’ll have it:
Bright white rooms floored with tiles. Big, rounded, thickly-glassed display cases held together by gleaming chrome. Heavy brushed-chrome swinging doors with little square glass windows separated the bakery and shop from the store where cheerful goils greeted everyone who came in. It was the kind of place where the neighborhood mingled. African-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Jews, Catholics – everyone was treated fairly.
That’s why I was flabbergasted a couple of months ago when Aunt Harriet piped up with the following during one of my routine Trump rants:
“Well … You know … The only time I ever saw your Grandpa throw someone out of the store was the time he kicked out Fred Trump.”

“I remember I turned and saw a well-dressed man I didn’t recognize with a mustache. He greeted Daddy, and your Grandpa greeted him like any other customer. I don’t remember what they said to each other.
“At that point, a voice called out from the kitchen. ‘Is that you, Mr. K?’ The doors swung open from the shop and Joe came out.”
“Who was Joe,” I asked.
“Grandpa’s foreman,” she continued. “A part of the family. He was a biiiiiiiiiiig African-American man. … Came to my wedding. Oh! He was sweet like sugar. Anyway … Joe came out and talked to Grandpa for a minute and then went back into the shop.
“I remember looking up when I heard the man say, ‘Harry … I didn’t know you hired ni---rs’.”

Good to know the 'family of demons' has been well-hated for so many decades.
IIRC, one of our folk heroes (Pete Seeger? Woodie Guthrie?) wrote a song that included a line disrespecting his landlord, old man Drumpf himself.
The twigs rarely fall far from the trees.
Trash.. pure trash, all of them.
