I like it when Donald slurs and whispers random imaginary statistics. Fills me with patriotic confidence in U.S. leadership.
Anyone watch WW2 in color on Netflix? Just finished the series, so well done. The parallels between Trump and Hitler are striking.

That wasn't true then, and it isn't true now.
"America, founded on the evils of slavery, genocide and the violent exploitation of the working class, is a country defined by historical amnesia. The popular historical narrative is a celebration of the fictional virtues of white supremacy. The relentless optimism and reveling in supposed national virtues obscure truth. Nuance, complexity and moral ambiguity, along with accepting responsibility for the holocausts and genocides carried out by slaveholders, white settlers and capitalists, have never fit with America’s triumphalism. “The illusions of eternal strength and health, and of the essential goodness of people—they were the illusions of a nation, the lies of generations of frontier mothers,” F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote."
"The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer".
One quote claims America is a killer, the other that America was a killer, but it is erased in mythology and replaced with "illusions of... the essential goodness of people". Other than they are both taking a swipe at America, they are not saying the same thing.
The killing was a lot fresher when DHLawrence was around, sunny jim.
AI has long been defrocked as a tool of ruling elites.
He was only 11 years older sunnier Jim.
I meant in relation to nowadays, you know, modernity?

Now Donnie has called the FBI " Top Scum" in his latest speech, Went off .... full nutcase this time.

Can't tell if he is serious or joking.....
Dude, he used to keep a book of Hitlers speeches in his night table.
Trump never mentioned:
+ 50 million US citizens with no medical coverage
+ 46% of bankruptcies are due to medical costs
+ 40 million in poverty and 18 million in extreme poverty
+ 25% of Indigenous people live in poverty
+ Average income of white families is 7 times higher than that of the average black family
+ 987 people in the USA were killed by police in 2017 and 23% were black
+ 69,550 migrant children were separated from parents –perhaps forever- and held in cages (2019) constituting a crime against humanity
+ The unprecedented decline over the past 3 years in life expectancy in the USA.

I have a hard time believing that his mind won't be mush by 2024, but a boy can dream. Washing down pills and KFC with a Coke is not a recipe for longevity.
You and your family are fired! Fired!

You're so cute when you state assumptions and treat them as facts.
What is arguably even more surprising is the reaction of human rights organizations to the bloody coup in Chile. Whyte acknowledges that Naomi Klein covered much of this ground in “The Shock Doctrine,” where she details how Amnesty International obscured the relationship between neoliberal “shock therapy” and political violence. Characterizing the Southern Cone as a “laboratory” for both neoliberalism and grassroots human rights activism, Klein argued that, in its commitment to impartiality, Amnesty occluded the reasons for the torture and killing, and thereby “helped the Chicago School ideology to escape from its first bloody laboratory virtually unscathed.” While Whyte concurs with Klein’s assessment, she has a slightly different point to make.............
Can we ban replying to comments with nothing but a link? As I say to my 7-year-old "Use your words!".
It sure feels like the endorsement of Trump's crimes by Senate Republicans has unleashed Trump 2 - Revenge of the Sith. He fired not just Vindman, but also his twin brother that had nothing to do with it, and apparently Guiliani, Trump's personal lawyer, is reporting directly to Barr so he can vett the information he is getting from Ukraine first. If I was Romney I would have one of my most expendable sons starting my car in the morning.
Not to worry though. The election is coming and I am sure it will be totally cool. There is no Russian interference to worry about, Buttigieg really is a secret Nazi serial killer and swims in billionaire pools filled with 100s. This will all smooth over by next year. :(
If I were Trump Id be calling my Russian friends to hack the Democratic primaries so that Id win those too. Guaranteed win in 2020 - Trump versus Trump. Only thing that changes is the color of his tie.

lol.... You mean Buttiguido? The guy who claimed victory before he lost?
Much of the liberal commentary on Donald Trump’s State of the Union address a few days ago has focused on the outright lies he made.
But where it counted for him, he told the truth.
He said during the 2016 campaign that he would take the United States out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). He did. He said he would scrap the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). He renegotiated it to brazenly benefit the United States. He said he would stand up to China, which he said was stealing American jobs and technology. He could point to his initiating a trade war with Beijing as a fulfilment of that promise.
Whether or not those acts will actually benefit the Rust Belt will long be a subject of debate.
What matters is that Trump stuck to his promises on reversing those policies that they felt were responsible for their loss of jobs or income.
They’ve had four years to work on it, but Democrats still have absolutely no strategy to counter Trump’s triumphalist message to the workers in those states that deserted their traditional party of choice in 2016. They have to get their act together, or it’s four more years of Trump insanity.
