We need to do a little reading about HOW the Nazi party (Hitler) came to rule Germany, I see.
Ahhhh, History, again.

On a personal level. At it's barest. Isn't it the same thing? Trying to learn from your past.......the mistakes, dumb decisions, bad moves, etc. that you've made...... the whole idea (IMO) is to not make the same mistakes twice............. or at LEAST not over and over and over again.

excellent point...the election of an authoritarian is always a step in the direction of a hitler like personality.
very scary how trump a few days ago wanted the death penalty for all drug dealers and said that the country might not be ready for that yet.as if the values and mentality of the country was too weak...i immediately felt like he wanted us to become a third world country like venezuela..or an authoritarian regime like china or saudi arabia.......scary stuff.

John Down resigns...another brick in the wall crumbles.

i agree that with regard to the women issue...clinton might have been worse then trump....maybe.

I have a friend who works for the SS. He said she was just a vile human being in terms of how she treated people when she was in the white house. He says DJT is super nice to all the staff. I know it doesn't mean all that much but that intangible is an interesting quality.

we know you don't have any friends, cccp...stop making **** up.

also i didnt know that the SS came back...i thought we hate nazis.

I think it was that little thug Duterte who convinced Trump that executing drug dealers was a nifty ideer. I'm not even sure if the Philippines has an official death penalty for dealing drugs, but they certainly have roving death squads. I'm surprised Trump doesn't cut to the chase and go for that.

Why is it that the only world leaders Trump seems to have complimentary words for are Duterte, Putin, Erdogan, Xi Jinping? If he actually met "Rocket Man" they'd hit it off great, too. Just a hunch!

I'm still surprised he hasn't brought up a Running Man style game show where you can win your freedom or die! YUGE RATINGS!

He certainly has a knack for reality TV, I won't begrudge him that. He should have stayed in that racket. Presidenting ain't his thing.

Dowd was the lawyer in charge of falling on Trump's Twitter grenades:

Dowd landed himself and the President in hot water after a tweet he says he authored suggested Trump knew Flynn lied to the FBI in January, reviving questions of whether Trump committed obstruction of justice when he allegedly asked then-FBI Director James Comey to drop the Flynn investigation.

"I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies," the tweet on Trump's account said.

The tweet led Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, to note that the committee is investigating obstruction of justice and said: "What we're beginning to see is the putting together of a case of obstruction of justice."

In a testy exchange with CNN, Dowd said he authored the tweet, but then suggested it was incorrect, claiming that "at the time of the firing no one including Justice had accused Flynn of lying.

"He declined to answer additional questions, saying: "Enough already ... I don't feed the haters."

"I don't feed the haters" -- he even talks like the teens tweet!

i wonder if dowd will called to testify to mueller whether he authored the tweet.

I wouldn't want to be within 10 miles of Mueller if I were a person who'd ever lied on Trump's behalf.

thats a lot of people.
