Written over 50 years ago discussing how 35 years earlier, a country allowed itself to be taken over by a mad man... so why does it feel so relevant in this moment?

Because Donald Trump (original family name "Drumpf" whose grandfather immigrated from Germany to the United States to avoid serving in the military) and "He Who Must Not Be Named" German dictator are/were both opportunist/con artist types who claim/claimed their personal lives made them into authentic leaders capable of solving their country's problems through the sheer force of their own personal attributes while both possessing little to no political acumen and having scant actual policy proposals among them.

Unfortunately for Germany and America, "I alone can fix it" isn't a political plan; it's a con artist's cult of personality that claims it's aligned with the sentiments of the common people when it's nothing more than a money-chasing fame whore who wouldn't piss on them to put them out if they were on fire (unless there was something in it for him)... after having lit the match himself.

You guys are SUCH party animals, I can hardly take it. ;)

Heh. Was there a party?

Nice tunes! :)

The California gun law Newsom signed would award $10,000 in damages per gun to private citizens who sue

The firearms Newsom is outlawing in California are not and never have been a constitutionally protected right.

I blame your ignorance of the law and the United States Constitution for your brainlessness.

Please keep rolling your eyes; maybe you'll find a brain back there. :)

The author is speaking to an elderly baker who had been a young man when the Nazi Party took over:

With evident fatigue, the baker reported, “One had no time to think. There was so much going on.”

In his account, “each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,’” that people could no more see it “developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.”

You are discussing the results of an OPINION poll and calling them FACTUAL!

Jussie Michale sucks bigly at connecting the dots, and if anyone is looking for facts in his commentaries, I have some pointers for you. Jussie Michale is a copy and paster whose comments are frequently the plagiarized opinions of other people deposited here on another man's blog. The only facts you will generally find in them are those instances wherein Jussie Michale catches a glimpse of himself in a mirror:

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Is this what you were whining about when you said I was making “personal attacks” against you? Pointing out your ignorance?

Along with being a plagiarizing cut-and-paster poster, Jussie Michale gets "personal attacks" confused with "personal facts."

I asked you in the previous article’s messages, but you tucked tail and ran without actually answering.

Which begs the question: Where does one actually tuck a ginormous tail of that size?

You are such a Jussie!

He cannot help himself; he frequently resembles those whom he vilifies and isn't remotely what he claims himself to be.

So, to recap:

Opinions and opinion polls are not facts.

Good call, Russ. We connect dots here for those demonstrably lacking the ability to do so; somebody's got to do it. :)

And the condemnation of this violent political attack from Weigantia®???

{{ccccchhhiiiirrrrrpppppp}}{{ccchhhiiiirrrrppppp}}

President Joe Biden also released a statement on the incident.

"I condemn the attack on Congressman Zeldin in the strongest terms," he said. "As I've said before, violence has absolutely no place in our society or our politics. I am especially grateful for the courage of those who immediately intervened, and that he is unharmed and was able to continue his speech. I also want to thank the law enforcement officers who quickly took action and are investigating this attack that defies our fundamental democratic values."

Compare that to the forced speech Trump reluctantly gave on January 6th! Trump did not give a shit about the safety and well-being of any of the politicians who were in the Capitol! He did not want the violence to end because they had not stopped the count as he intended.

The American people want the GOP in control..

This is plainly factual..

Democrats simply cannot govern competently... This is ALSO plainly factual..

If you listen to Americans right now, you’ll be forgiven for thinking that when it comes to the economy, Joe Biden is the worst American president since Herbert Hoover. Every new poll seems worse than the last, and according to the polling-analysis site FiveThirtyEight, Biden has the lowest approval rating at this point in his presidency of any postwar president. Fewer than one in seven Americans think the country is on the right track, and most of those who think it’s on the wrong track seem to hold Biden responsible.

"Democrats.. I am LAUGHING at the superior governance"

Greg Gutfeld: The January 6 committee hearings have backfired on Joe Biden and the Democratic Party

But, boy, did the hearings backfire for their party and for Joe. How badly? Well, like people turning away when Lance Armstrong strips, they took their eyes off the ball. While they focused all their limited IQs on destroying Trump, the current president is now less popular than chlamydia. But despite all the bad things they say about Trump, he was more popular after January 6th than Biden is now. It's amazing.

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Howz THAT for irony, eh???

President Trump is more popular than Biden's Handlers!!!

Biden's Handlers has to look up to see President Trump's approval numbers..

Biden's Handlers is ENVIOUS of President Trump's higher approval numbers!! :D

WOW!! That's just gotta sting eh Weigantians®.. :D

Mosby is also accused of lying in order to get a lower interest rate on the mortgage for her Kissimmee, Florida, vacation home by claiming it was a second home. Prosecutors allege that prior to claiming the "second home rider," Mosby entered an agreement with a vacation home management company that gave the company control over renting out the property.

Typical Democrat... Corrupt liars... :eyeroll:

And the condemnation of this violent political attack from Weigantia®???

{{ccccchhhiiiirrrrrpppppp}}{{ccchhhiiiirrrrppppp}}

So, when ya'all said that you would condemn political violence no matter were it came from ya'all were... what?? Just kidding?? Lying??

:eyeroll:

We ALL know that if it had been a DEMOCRAT candidate for gov and the attacker was a President Trump supporter, ya'all would go batshit hysterical crazy about it condemning the attack for weeks on end..

It's really gratifying to see that the American people are fighting back against the Democrats and their DESTROY AMERICA agenda..

A just and civilized society does not allow, promote or venerate violent criminals over the rights of the innocent victims..

Democrat scumbags learned that lesson in San Fran.

Democrat scumbags will also learn that lesson in LA...

I just LOVE how ya'all continue to confirm that the Cardassian 6JC is nothing but a Hollywood-borne fictional Made-For-Television production..

It's always warms the cockles of my heart when we all have common ground here in Weigantia®.. :D

After watching the hearing in its entirety my response was that the president's conduct was saddening. The witnesses profressed pride in some of the trump admin's accomplishments, and they were saddened too.

So, you were saddened about President Trump BEFORE the Cardassian 6JC...

And you were saddened about President Trump AFTER the Cardassian 6JC...

In other words, nothing's changed.. :eyeroll:

Trump/America haters hated President Trump and America before the Cardassian 6JC...

Trump/America haters STILL hate President Trump and America AFTER the 6JC...

Big whoop... :^/

I am not a barrel of hair!

Heh. You're not exactly a box of rocks either, and we provide a service here for those dumb ducks with a proven inability to connect dots and who demonstrate on a consistent basis that they couldn't pour piss out of a boot with a hole in the toe and the directions on the heel.

In conclusion, you are correct, Dr. Einstein, you categorically do not meet the description. :)

I am not a barrel of hair!

He trotted out his Big Lie again ("we had an election that was stolen from us") and told the rioters: "We love you, you're very special."

Which is proof right out of the gate (the very same day) that anybody who fell for (or regurgitated) the utterly asinine claim that the right-wing talking heads fed to them claiming that "Antifa" was behind the attacks is dumber than a box of rocks... and they know you are!

We connect dots here for those people dumber than a barrel of hair... so here we go:

The bit about the mattresses was helpfully explained as "a Godfather reference." In other words, they even talk like movie mobsters.

Is anyone at all surprised that junior didn't tell the "whole truth"?

To "go to the mattresses" in that context means to go to war. Junior was texting to the Chief of Staff that it was worth Meadows going to war with the President of the United States in order to preserve his legacy.

No, no, no! No more! Not this time, consiglieri. No more meetings, no more discussions, no more Sollozzo tricks. You give 'em one message: I want Sollozzo. If not, it's all-out war: we go to the mattresses.

There was apparently laughter in the committee room as this clip played (the internet is now having a field day with the clip, paring it with amusing musical clips such as the Benny Hill theme song).

A footnote to today's proceedings is that the trial of Steve Bannon will wrap up on Friday with closing statements by both sides, which is odd timing but somehow seems appropriate.

Allow me to paraphrase today's events:

Closing Arguments

Prosecutor: Ladies and gentlemen, we are here because the Defendant showed contempt for Congress; in fact, the very name of the crime tells you everything you need to know. The Defense suggests the dates on his subpoenas were negotiable. Please don't fall for that.

Defense: Ladies and gentlemen, you must give Steve Bannon the benefit of the doubt.

Prosecutor: Objection.

Judge: Sustained.

Defense: Representative Bennie Thompson’s signatures on the subpoenas is "not legitimate."

Judge: Approach the bench. T

Defense: Proffers loads of ridiculous bullshit that did nothing to explain away the fact that Bannon refused to respond to either of the two subpoenas and did also knowingly and repeatedly profess his intent via multiple statements on film and social media. Bannon has testified before lots of times, he says, but does nothing to explain why the dipshit Defense believes that has anything whatsoever with Bannon refusing to respond now.

Rebuttal

Prosecutor: The conduct of the Defendant is that of a child who continues to argue with a parent after being grounded.

Verdict

Count 1: Guilty.
Count 2: Guilty.

So, to recap:

Open and shut case. He who gleefully broadcasts his contempt of Congress multiple times shouldn't be surprised when he gets convicted on multiple counts of contempt of Congress.

Maybe the president will pardon the criminal perp (again) for his crimes against the people of the United States. Oh, wait! Dipshit Donald and his gullible mouthpieces only believe he's still POTUS, but he is (obviously) not. Time to "clue in" to reality; nothing like the United States penitentiary system to snap one back to reality. :)
