I don’t understand how these people think that Jews have been supported by the right. They have always been antisemitic. I guess because they support the idea of Israel because of their fairy tale religious nonsense?

what's wild is the even the nazis supported the idea of a Jewish state. It would give them a place to ship all their jews off to - they came to their "final solution" because they just didn't have anywhere to keep all these pesky jews!

The nazis wanted all the Jews out of Europe. The Zionists wanted Jews to move to the Holy Land out of Europe. During Kristallnacht, there were mobs chanting ’Juden raus! Auf nach Palästina!’ (Jews out, out to Palestine) as they destroyed jewish businesses.

 

Something, something, horseshoe theory.

Fuck this asshole. Just look at this quote:

“Yeah. I mean, look at the perception that people have of where America is right now, as we’re talking about it, less than a year away from the World Cup. While I can disagree with that perception, it doesn’t mean that it’s not valid and it’s not out there in terms of the way people view the United States,”

It’s not the perception that’s the problem. This is reality. It’s actually happening. Potential tourists should absolutely be concerned.

If Alexi Lalas says something about anything, even soccer, assume the opposite is true.  That guy is an absolute moron who only gets playtime because some idiot studio exec thinks he can be soccer's version of Skip Bayless.

On the first day and second day, God created light and the sky. The third day was the Earth, seas, and vegetation and fourth the Sun and Moon. On the fifth day He created animals of the air and sea and the sixth was land animals and humans. Right as the sixth day was ending God gave humans the right to own guns. And, on the seventh day he rested.

Well we can tell which Surly posters were "Young Conservatives" or Republicans at UT.

-- Those still defending their Teflon God: Ronnie Reagan.

For the record, I was "defending" a generic rotting corpse's governing ablities vs. our current fucktard. I gave a speech in a class (in the CMA, IIRC) on the virtues of The Communist Manifesto, though, I will admit, I tailored it from a centrist perspective. That semester I also wrote a paper on the probable unlikeliness of Jesus's divinity, though I was hesitant to go as far as @BrickHorn and others would have and argue along the lines of a Christ myth theory (that JHC was not a real person, but merely a symbol meant to lead one on a journey for truth). What's the point of me saying this? Get over yourself. You don't have a monopoly on fuckall, let alone how anyone should think about historical figures. Your posts of late have been the worst kind of purity testing pablum, neither insightful nor particularly interesting. Get a new schtick.

The Charlie Kirk shooting is the 46th School shooting this year. Interestingly, The 47th is already happening and ongoing as I type this.

See above.  GTFO if you think Reagan would do even 10% of Trump’s BS - even if he was given the chance that’s a hell no.  

Well, it's not prudent to go 0-100 mph in 3 sec on the United States.  Karl Rove and his buddies had a plan, they put that plan in place, and it eventually worked out.

Everyone is saying things are going to get worse and I'm about to slam my head into my desk.

1. Things were ALREADY getting worse, Trump was already sending in the Marines and National Guard to LA and DC. He's likely going to try to do it to Chicago before all this happened, again in a very conservative gun-rights state.

2. It was just a few months ago two Democrat Minnesota politicians were blown away in cold blood and the fucking media stopped covering it after a day or two. The guy was clearly a RNWJ yet every piece of shit, like Kirk, said because a decade ago he was appointed to some business committee thing by Walz, under a bipartisan initiative mind you, that he was a Democrat.

3. We're less than two weeks past more kids being shot up by a mass shooter that had a fuckton of ammo and guns, I immediately saw "we need more armed security guards in all spaces" immediately after that happened on social media.

I'm sure more crazies are going to crazy harder, but things were already set in motion long ago.

Reagan didn’t act like that, but Trump is very continuous with Reagan. 
Im not sure if you were one of the Reagan Republicans who believed in all that nonsense and are still trying to rationalize your support, but there’s a straight line between the two.
Reagan was just far more palatable and his administration was held much more in check by congress, which in those days was elected in mostly competitive districts by communities of interest.*
 

 

 

or “communities of interest,” as @Ag with kids likes to call real places and people with things in common, as opposed to preordained partisan outcomes. 

And I have stated as much.

The tangent of this thread was whether Reagan's "cult" really compares to the Trump "cult."  It does not, regardless of similarities they shared, or more accurately how Reagan's actions trace to the environment we find ourselves in today.

And the genesis of this tangent was my statement that a lot of MAGAts outright reject the GOP prior to Trump. A lot of Trumpists proudly declare that "I'm not a Republican." That was certainly not the case with Reagan.

It was much more difficult to build that kind of cult of personality in the early to mid-80s.  There was essentially no social media, and people had 2 maybe 3 choices (Republican, Democrat, independent).  They also tended to be much more private in their political discussions.  (OK, there were the initial tendrils of Usenet but outside of academic dorks like me the vast majority of people knew nothing about that.)

i have to say, i like a lot of you involved fine but the ronald reagan debate distracting from the best thread on the internet is tied with my least favorite thread hijack along with cheese puns in the 2023 recruiting thread and bozo's insatiable need to summon the ag freak every time he wants to replay the gerrymandering argument on every thread in this forum.

It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.

Okay, hermano. The similarities in common are of no consequence. Got it.

Sorry, this is a super-whack reading of history.  The Nazis implemented the Haavara agreement in 1933 as a method first to shore up foreign currency reserves (they allowed Jews to use their confiscated property to buy German made “exports” to Mandate Palestine via a special bank) and second to remove some 60k Jews from Germany. A purely pragmatic move and nothing at all about a Jewish state: a temporary solution to help ease a financial crisis. 

 Hitler raved about the dangers of a Jewish state in his writings and even had an Einsatzgruppen created for Mandate Palestine as Afrikakorps appeared to be advancing. There’s debate over whether it was an extermination plan or whether they intended to place Mandate Palestine Jews in forced labor camps. What’s clear is that the idea of a sovereign Jewish state in the near east ran strictly against Nazi policy. 
 

Before the Final Solution was implemented there was some desultory speculation about mass expulsions to Madagascar to be administered as a massive open-air SS camp (never actually an option due to the Royal Navy) or massive forced labor camps in the vastness of the conquered Soviet East. There was never a discussion of creating or supporting a Jewish state at any time, and it’s only a very few fringe and extremely biased political figures who try to cast the Nazis and Zionists as somehow pursing similar goals (with an obvious political purpose for doing so).

President Donald J. Trump has been trying to remove Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook from the board of governors, alleging she lied on a mortgage application by claiming two homes as primary residences, which could garner a lower interest rate. Yesterday Chris Prentice and Marisa Taylor of Reuters reported that documents show that, in fact, Cook told the lender who provided a mortgage that a property in Georgia for which she was obtaining a loan would be a “vacation home.”

 

It appears the documents that director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency Bill Pulte used to accuse her of mortgage fraud were standardized forms that her personal application specifying the house was a second home overrode. It also appears that Cook never applied for a primary residence tax exemption for the Georgia home and that she referred to the home on official documents as a “2nd home.”

 

In contrast, Reuters reported last week that unlike Cook, Pulte’s own father and stepmother claimed primary residence tax exemptions for two homes in different states. When that news broke, one of the towns in which they reside removed their primary residence exemption and charged them for back taxes.

FAFO bitches

I honestly thought you’d made an honest mistake repeating something you saw somewhere, but the quick deflection to something happening 90 years later and irrelevant to the historical inaccuracy under discussion makes me reconsider.

My point: Saying the Nazis supported a Jewish state in Palestine or anywhere else is wrong and ahistorical.

Hilarious... and terrifying.

The level of doublethink is staggering. 

You are insufferable and in your monomania see not what is written, but what you want to see.

Confession accusation. 

I saw a similar thing relating to Letitia James case. Multiple emails with the broker and others that she was not going to live in the house she applied for a loan on with her relative, who would. 

But in a power of attorney to that relative to disburse funds and other acts at closing, there was a recitation that she would own and occupy it as her primary residence. An odd place to have such a recitation. 

So as if it was in dispute, these mortgage fraud charges are pretty bogus and won't support a conviction, but might support an indictment. And that sucks. 

The Trump administration is going to be a watershed era in the development of selective/political prosecution law.

They have been claiming the IRS has been weaponized against them because they want to weaponize it against others.
