Public servants with nearly 450 years of experience have resigned in protest - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington In Trump's second term, about 70 government officials with nearly 450 years of experience have resigned in protest.

As of September, more than 70 gov officials across agencies like DOJ, FBI, and HHS, have resigned rather than follow Trump’s illegal orders.

It’s not if for our military, it’s when.

Trump will ask them to turn against the American people. www.citizensforethics.org/reports-inve...

Q: The DOJ statement earlier this year saying that the files were not released mentioned the fact that the review of the documents did not suggest that any additional investigation was warranted. What changed?

Bondi: Information. There's information that's new information, additional information

Trump: My pollsters said, 'sir, if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln came back from the dead and they aligned and they went for the president, vice president as a combination, you'd be beating them by 25 points.'

289 is the veto-proof margin in the House.

I’m expecting we hit that.

According to the Nazis: The evidence was all fake, the prosecution winners revenge, and anyway, Hitler and Himmler did it all themselves.

They hung (or in the case of Goering, died) convinced they were the good Germans.

After seeing the MASSIVE amount of evidence of intentional mass murder, evidence they created, they were still utterly convinced they were the good guys.

Only one was smart enough to pretend contrition, Albert Speer. Saved his life too.

One.

In the trial, footage of the camps is shown and victims testified, but it was actually years later, during the Eichmen trial that the true extent of the crimes against the Jews really became the central story of German fascism. It took a couple decades to develop collective guilt

Nuremberg is out, and I am making a special request you go see it.

Go see Nuremberg: not only will it teach you about the Nazis’ many, many crimes, including the Holocaust which is (rightly) the one thing people know about the Third Reich.
