How many times did Hitler file for bankruptcy?

Well, what you have to remember it that Hitler was surely a much better business mind than Trump.

Granted, the bar is low, but hey...Adolf jumped right over it!

To say Hitler wasn't grifting is way off base.  He was worth 3-5 billion dollars at his death in '45.  In '33 he had a worth in the thousands.

IIRC, Hitler got a royalty every time his image was used by the German Government.  So every postage stamp printed put a bit more money into his pockets.

Let's not give anyone else ideas, OK?

I used to kinda scoff at the "it's a cult" stuff with Trumpers. Felt a little too on the nose. 
But I think it's true that around 100 million people in this country currently reside in an alternate reality. Some adore Trump, some support him, some are just in full denial. These people were scared shitless of perceived dangers from the left, yet completely shut out the very real and destructive effects of Trump and his merry band of fascists. They are in complete submission. It's just so fucking pathetic.
 

Look, if we have to give up who we are as a country in return for…. um…. fewer trans athletes I guess?…. then that’s what we’re gonna do.

We're really seeing a transformation of American democracy. When Trump can't get his way from within the system, he asks how he can change the system. You will need more House seats, create off cycle redistricting. You need lower interest rates, fire unfriendly Fed governors.

The one unknown is where this stops. If Trump wants to stay in power, why not just claim he can run again. Why not just suspend elections. Obviously he would create an emergency reason to allow him to do so. Today most likely a large percentage of Republicans would say that Trump can't run again. Give him 2 years to build the argument, and that percentage would drop dramatically.

I know it’s been said here before, but tigerdroppings makes texags look kinda tame by comparison. 
 

From that thread: “The last good black woman was Aunt Jemima.”

It’s all just racism out in the open now and no one cares. 

it's never been in the closet over there...hell it's never been hidden anywhere south of I-10 from The Chuck to the MS state line.

That's what will haunt me the most for the rest of my life about what's gone down the past decade. We did it for the dumbest fucking reasons possible.

It's more than that...it's the dumbest and shittiest reasons possible.

A majority of this country either actively wants or is okay with: completely dismantling the Republic, so long as the government is sufficiently mean and vindictive against the weak and defenseless.  They're a-ok with terminating the rights of due process and free speech, for example, so long as the government abuses the shit out of gay and trans and hispanic and black people.

Us anti-Trumpers? We lost. He won. He’s got the SC, House, Senate, Presidency….everything. He fucking owned us. 

He could govern to help Americans. How dumb would we look if he actually did good things, and all of them could laugh in our face about being afraid of Trump?

Instead he’s just pushing further with the chaos. Because at this point he’s just testing his own supporters. “How far can we go with this where my people will play along so we can capture all the power and money?” And the answer apparently is all the way.

This.

There's nothing he can do to lose their support.  Not a single damned thing.  He could light the fucking White House on fire, and it would thrill his supporters because the rest of us would react with "Jesus fucking Christ, why is he burning down the White House?" and they would cackle about all of our "sweet lib tears." 

We are a dick-ocracy now.  Being the biggest dick imaginable is the only attribute of any value.  And it has near infinite value to them.

I think it is just a matter of how many sternly worded letters he wants to receive before he thinks destroying democracy is not worth it.

These people with Trump are like those people who twist themselves into knots trying to believe that the bible actually thinks being extremely wealthy is a good thing. It's a religion, so everything he does has to be good.

Even if they were a domestic extremist organization being considered an extremist organization isn’t in and of itself against any current law that I am aware of.

Things Republicans believed in before Trump:

-States' Rights
-The Constitution
-The Justice System
-Law and Order
-Freedom of Speech
-Rights
-Capitalism
-Limited Government
-Reducing the Debt
-Russia is America's enemy
-Allies should be defended

They never believed in any of that.   Just like they never gave a flying fuck about Jesus, abortion, family values, kids, the future, America, Americans, etc.  They never held any values other than enrich the elite, oppress the oppressed, rig everything in their favor, norms and rules are for suckers.  That was their real fucking platform.

Nah, I disagree with you here.  I don't think most people are OK with that, but most people are not willing to respond.  The first person who fires the shot, gets shot.   There is no collective thinking on the left or in the middle.   Right now there is still a lot for use to lose, especially those with young kids and special needs.  We might be pissed, but we can't die yet while our kids are still very young.

Based on the re-modeling job the dotard has done, I would also be thrilled if he burned down the White House.  I would be even more thrilled if he was trapped inside.

Do y’all think it would have been an issue on the right if Obama had said out loud “A lot of people are saying I should be a dictator”? I mean we could do this all day every day, but that stands out.

Ronald Reagan: While it is a commonly referenced quote, Ronald Reagan's precise phrase was slightly different and had a specific historical context. At a 1984 rally in Austin, Texas, referring to the Democratic Party, he said: "The national Democratic leadership is going so far left, they've left America". 

Ronald Reagan used the phrase "their value system is radically different from that of most Americans" in his famous "Evil Empire" speech on March 8, 1983. He did not use this phrase to describe his own values, but rather to criticize those he perceived as opposing traditional, faith-based American values. 

In the speech, delivered to the National Association of Evangelicals in Orlando, Florida, Reagan used the phrase to refer to secularists who he believed were trying to impose their own rules and regulations through government. 

In short, he was, advertently or otherwise, setting up a jihad. Righteousness to define the right. 

I truly loathe the man. Now, even worse than Nixon.

He was the smiling, avuncular face stretched across the front of the hate engine.

I scoff at the notion that they are cult these days. They're mujahadeen taking up the sword and taking Trump's mushroom up their asses to get at the real enemy: Ebil Dems.

Liberal democracies are not transformed into fascist authoritarianism, IMHO. They are corrupted, destroyed, and displaced.

Dick-ocracy. I like that. I think I particularly like that the metaphorical biggest dick literally has a tiny one.

funny how the left is able to seamlessly shapeshift between a giant group of woke, pussy, snowflakes who are all in their fee fee’s over pronouns and a domestic extremist terrorism organization that’s the ingest and most imminent threat to our everyday way of life and peace.

"Daddy went to all my soccer games! One day I hope to play for the Imperial Team!"

Our kids will be so very proud of our efforts to thwart the traitors who bring down the republic.
