riiiiiight - the left posts something and the right loses its tiny little mind trying to draw false equivalences and make connections that no sane person would make - but they're unable to defend themselves, so they call their detractors wide eyed conspiracists - because what they are doing is indefensible by any rational/honest/normal person

It will be some drama when Lewandowski starts screwing McLaughlin and dumps Noem. Because you know he’s trying.

Yep, Ol' Corey doesn't want to lose his important job of fucking someone in the Trump administration.

A certain percentage of every country's inhabitants seem to be eminently pliable material for fascist or other authoritarian/totalitarian ideology and practices. Unfortunately, we're no exception. These people seem to be incapable of learning any lessons, even from sad or terrible experience. That is frightening!

It’s bad enough being a Nazi, but to be a Nazi but being to mealy to admit to being a Nazi, well, that’s even worse. No sense of conviction at all.

they lack courage and conviction, thats fer sure

Elissa Slotkins explains that they’re coming for you, baby. As exemplified by the demand for the voter roles in Minnesota.

And a letter from someone who self identifies as our emotional support European, and Lord knows we all need one of those these days, speaking on behalf of Omas against fascists. No blame no shame, they say we’ve been there too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-Z6M-LDXWg

You neglected to mention,

Written across the podium Crusti was using to make some fascist pronouncement or other at a press conference. Origins somewhat unclear, but some people (OK, me) take it to reference the actions the Nazis took at the village of Lidice in Czechoslovakia, following the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. The Nazis rounded up all the men and boys and killed them. Then the women and girls were deported to Ravensbruck. The village itself was razed to the ground and basically erased.

Everyone knows how much Crusti loves to cosplay. Now, she's cosplaying as a Nazi.

or coming out as a nazi (we should totally make that a thing: look who came out as a nazi)

"No, we don’t know why a B-2 stealth bomber is in an ICE recruiting ad that quotes a neo-Nazi song."

"We'll stick a stealth bomber in there, because we're being REALLY STEALTHY about recruiting neo-Nazis! None of those Librul snowflakes will EVER be able to figure it out if we use something THAT sneaky!!"

First time around, I still had a grandmother who remembered the 1930s and said yeah, history is repeating.

I bet when Kristi Noam was forced to shoot her dog that dog was brandishing a weapon and was determined "to commit maximum damage".

simpledinosaur's avatar

Noem is one of the most vomit-inducing members of Trump's Cabinet. Anybody who would shoot a defenseless dog for being a bit high-spirited and then boast about it in a book is truly a rancid pile of trash. Yet, her psychotic puppy-killing boast is most likely what "earned" her a spot next to the other brutal thugs in the Cabinet. We haven't seen so many twisted individuals surrounding a lunatic leader since the goddamned Third Reich.

The phrase "morally repugnant" means more when you're not amoral

GrannysKnitting's avatar

also too as well, using it while committing morally repugnant actions doesn't cancel shit out

Why isn't the question posed to all these "spokespeople": Many people are saying they wouldn't call you white nationalists and liars if you would stop all the lying and doing white nationalist shit?

Robyn pointed that out here nicely once: You don't wanna be called Nazis? THEN STOP DOING NAZI SHIT.

simpledinosaur's avatar

The resemblance of Trump and his Cabinet to actual 1930s-40s Nazis is downright eerie. Their whole way of "governing" (if we can even call it that) seems to me to be one long act of homage to the Nazis.

One thing I wonder about. How exactly is DHS tracking these hooligans? They don't wear identifiable badge numbers. Their pictures for DHS are maskless. Doesn't seem like there are a whole lot of places to swipe their identity cards or thumb prints. Most of their shit is store bought probably by their own money, so no gear tracking.

What morons are you paying exactly? How many are even working? Who is shooting what and who provided the gun and ammo? Even if they wanted to do the right thing and put people on leave or fire them, how do you even KNOW who was there?

Something tells me they just sign up for their raids with pen and paper and could literally put any name down.

Boba Fett managed to make sure he got his money from the Empire.

Artemus Gordon's avatar

They don't care who/where they are.

Their reason for being seems to be for Trump to get to the Insurrection Act around September, if not sooner. But not too soon.

In the Nazis for Dummies playbook, Stephen Miller is running; they are the Brown Shirts and are sacrificial lambs to many different altars.

The Blessed Reverend's avatar

with the parallel question - how many of them are real and how many of them are fakes

They track them by which Axe Body Spray they favor...scent based identification, like dogs...

"No, we don’t know why a B-2 stealth bomber is in an ICE recruiting ad that quotes a neo-Nazi song. Maybe it just looks really tough."

Come on Dok, have you not been paying attention? What are cowboys known for? Carrying guns. And what have we learned in the last week? Anyone with a gun who is not dressed as a cause-play paramilativo or one of the proven rapist Trump's "fine people" are domestic terrorist and must be killed.

Why else have we given DHS a larger budget than most militaries other than to allow them to buy a ton of bombers to go after domestic terrorist like that cowboy at any time. Death from above! Take that you commie libs and see if your Soros' money can protect you from a few 10,000 lbs bombs!
