The Republican Party Has a Nazi Problem How did the GOP become a haven for slogans and ideas straight out of the Third Reich?

If wannabe Nazis now confidently roam the halls of powerโ€”and the streets of American citiesโ€”it is because Republican leaders have made them feel at home.

60s, Black youth insisted on being referred to as Black instead of Negro, their parents were not impressed.
My point is, that this is a generational thing and I agree that their over sensitivity sometimes gets in their own way and is becoming a major problem for the Democratic Party, Black & white.

When Strom Thurgood praised Barbara Jordan in the Bork hearings as "one of the most articulate" she said thank you because she knew that he was complementing her and so she took it as that. When Joe Biden said something of the same about Obama there was a firestorm.

An Extraordinary Account of a Dangerous Marriage Gisรจle Pelicotโ€™s memoir is an astonishingly honest look at her life with a man who did the unthinkable.

boy, when the bad men are bad, they are really, really bad.

I just read this review of Gisele Pelicot's new memoir. Her husband found 50 guys within a 40 mile radius who would rape his wife. In the courtroom they showed no remorse. They were mad at her! I don't know what Bill Gates did and I know there are many good men (my husband being one) but boy oh

I just, a minute ago, said the same, more or less, to my husband;
"He doesn't know what he is talking about! He's a plumber for God's sake!"

"..pre-Watergate worldview"?
So we just pretend Watergate did not happen, which is why it changed? Forget the lesson?
And now with the Immunity Ruling have we not learned yet another lesson?

Starmer hasn't devoted his life to accumulating wealth as did Sunak; isn't reckless which was Truss's trademark; not corrupt in contrast to Johnson; won a parliamentary majority whereas May lost one; and is rebuilding relations with Europe not gambling them away Cameron-style.

Inhumane treatment, illness, injury, and death are guaranteed at these camps. It doesnโ€™t have to be intentional killing, ร  la the Nazis. Peopleโ€™s mental and physical health will be forever shattered by the very nature of these facilities.

Fs to give. It may bring us more to the left than many are comfortable with but it also may have the favorable outcome of pushing the Nazis out (or underground anyway) and forcing the Republicans back to the center.

Contrary to popular opinion, I thought Kamala Harris would have governed more to the center. It didn't happen and now we have a fearless new generation who from Alysa Liu's, "That's what I'm FUCKING talking about" to the Seattle Seahawks not giving a fuck about "the spectacle, still have a lot of
