So, confirmed Nazi - again. How long will it be before someone stops him?

Yeeeeaaaah......about that.....

I'm afraid I've got some bad news.

Dude, we have to have hope. Everyone, keep up the embargoes of every billionaire company that supports him. Money is the only thing that will work.

Seeing as we are on .world and the last comment I made featuring the Bear Jew with a Louisville slugger as an example of how to properly treat a fascist got deleted by a mod...

Maybe I can get away with saying 'Be the change you want to see in the world'.

Given he's destroying his own country while the rest of us laugh at him, I expect the civil war will kick off eventually.

That's his plan though, much easier to reshape a democracy into an Empire during huge societal upheaval like that.

Just gotta keep giving himself more Emergency Powers until he can get it done.

I fucking hate Trump, but the headline doesn't match the content:

“I said to them, was there any sign of love?” Trump said, recounting his conversation with released hostages.

“Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?” Trump said, absurdly comparing the hostages’ situation to the Holocaust, which murdered six million Jews.

“People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress,” the president went on, suggesting that the Nazis were known for their generosity.

“No, they didn’t do that, they’d slap us,” Trump said the hostages told him about Hamas, while sitting next to the man who is currently leading Israel’s genocide in Gaza. “Their hatred is unbelievable.”

Sounds more like a "was the pope catholic?" situation. After all, there'd be a lot more press on it if it wasn't sarcastic questioning.

No, you're misreading this.

Trump is comparing Hamas guards holding hostages to Nazi guards holding prisoners, and he is suggesting that Nazis prison guards acted with love and kindness when a prisoner was in a very dire state.

The he switches to 'no, the Hamas guards slapped their hostages'... implying they were worse than Nazi death/slave camp guards.

Again, why in the world are you giving him the benefit of the doubt? He is sending people to concentration camps (2 of them) that are probably being killed and/or tortured. One of them was by mistake and they're not bringing him back. Stop it.

“Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?”
