Just to check myself a bit.. the kid who died on this was an unwilling victim. Still...

Funny

Ugh

This is a good group. Negroponte is as weird to me as Cheney. One of those, we really do live in interesting times things to see him endorsing a Dem.

This is interesting factoid...hinted at in the very enjoyable Deutschland 86 tv series

The Germans in Africa were reputedly pretty barbaric even in comparison to French, German and (really bad) Belgium examples.

The idea behind Imperialism was both benign and hostile overt racism and cultural hegemony. Manifest destiny, the British Empire, the race for Africa...the Nazis were just a generation late to that.

I'm not buying the original premise without further details on why he thinks that. Lots of racists in Michigan in those days. Not seeing the direct link to the Nazis.

They could be good villains. The wanna-be brownshirts in church pews are a little tougher to land punches on.

We cannot do any more public policy based on these self-entitled, pole greasing, ignoramuses.

Yeah, enough of the Cletus safairis. We know that a world view informed by WWE and the Apprentice is not one filled with wisdom.

I'm curious as to what you mean by this? Is this a Henry Ford or a Father Coughlin thing? Ford reprinted the Protocols but they were a Czarist Russian creation (btw, how nice that Russian influence ops are still a thing in our politics). Coughlin had that blowtorch radio program but he was Catholic and not in sync exactly with Nazi ideology. Do you mean that Detroit-based Germans were upset about the end of WWI and created the Dolchstoßlegende?

Trump just hates the future.

Traitorous scum says what?

I'm loving this punk kid Tigers team.

Trump must really be down now that this happened

I also think this latest Tigers playoff drive has them all giddy. I'll allow it.

JD Vance can blow it out his ass.

Ohio sheriff says to ‘write down’ addresses of homes with Harris signs (msn.com) speaking of going to prison

So, Peter Thiel's not a fan.

Doesn't mention this either

Doesn't include reference to Charlottesville though.

Very helpful

Nah, In this case I meant the 2024 general election. He was losing his various paths and was going to concentrate on just the blue wall states because that was going to be his Little Round Top.

While I agree some pollsters struggled to capture the Trump sine wave, the fact remains that many, many garbage polls were dumped to skew averages as part of a deliberate information operation strategy.
