"In 1934, Rudolph Hess uttered the famous words, "Hitler is Germany and Germany is Hitler."

Rudolph Hess was a longstanding personal aid to Adolf Hitler and deputy party leader of the Nazi party until 1941. He was the Nazi deputy fuhrer.

Hess's statement in 1934 that Hitler is Germany and Germany is Hitler encapsulated the totalitarian ideology of the Third Reich.

It was used as a propaganda tool intended to deify Hitler as the literal embodiment of the German nation and its destiny.

It was used to demand unconditional loyalty to condition the public to believe that loyalty to Hitler equated to patriotism.

And it was intended to erode democracy to justify the dismantling of the Weimar Republic's democratic institutions in favor of what was called the leader principle where Hitler's will was law.

For everyone who is getting tired of the comparisons of Trump to Hitler, or who believe that what happened in 1930s Germany cannot happen here, I've got news for you.

Not only can it happen, but it is happening right now under Donald J. Trump."

Not to mention that Iran 'promised' not to 'develop' any nukes... but $300 billion will buy a lot of nukes.

Worst President Ever.

- am I right?

It would be the first time, but no... as noted above, Republicans hate Education as much as they do Women, Immigrants, and Chinese Visa holders.

Wait until someone tells him that Gambling Casinos are illegal in Iran.... Deal is OFFF!!

Considering the incompetency at the top of this Gov politically and militarily for at least the next couple of years... there would be no better time to take on the US.

"Democrats in Congress seized on the report. "How many times did Trump say zero taxpayer dollars would go to his gilded ballroom?" Democratic House Whip Katherine Clark, D-Massachusetts, said in a post on X.

"He lied. Every time. But still not a dime to help lower costs for families."

"Iran says the deal to end the war with the US requires Israel to withdraw from Lebanon

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) " Iran's top diplomat said Tuesday that the tentative deal to end the war with the United States would require Israel to withdraw from Lebanon " a condition Israel has already rejected and that could sink the agreement, leading to the resumption of all-out war.

"Without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied during this war, the war has not fully come to an end," Araghchi said.

A U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss outlines of the agreement, has said the deal does not call for an Israeli withdrawal. And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Israel would remain in Lebanon "as long as necessary."

"Transcript: Trump Tirade on Iran Deal Accidentally Reveals It's a Sham

As Trump's agreement with Iran starts looking even worse under scrutiny, Tom Nichols of The Atlantic explains how this whole fiasco has left the U.S. in a weaker position than before."

"While the administration claimed the move would better serve some of the nation's most vulnerable children, disability rights advocates sounded the alarm.

"This is another vindictive attempt to undermine public education," says Denise Forte, president and CEO of Ed Trust, a think tank focused on addressing education inequity.

"And at this moment, when we know that children with disabilities need more support, not less " HHS is not the place for that."

Republicans know that the more educated someone is, the more they vote against Republicans.

And the more cruel they can be to children, the more the Cult likes it.

Poster is more of a runaway snowclown... he always runs away. Especially from Confucius.

Then he just melts into a smelly puddle.

The Cult has obviously taught Jeffy the strategery of accusing the left of everything the right does, has done, and is planning to do.

And it werks... in the Cult. Outside the Cult, not so much anymore.

The next Dem candidate, whomever they may be, will be accused of being a liar, a con artist, a fraud, a warmonger, and of rigging the Election.

Because that's who leads the Cult.

Yeah, I'm not sure how one puts those cows back in the barn. (TX, sorry!)

Psychologically justified, practically nearly impossible to implement.

"Wealth and rank are what men desire, but if they can only be retained to the detriment of the Way, they must not be kept."

"To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace."

"The superior man thinks of virtue; the small man thinks of comfort."

"The mind of the superior man is conversant with righteousness; the mind of the petty man is conversant with gain."

there are, however, exceptions!

MTG gives DJT $300 billion worth of hell for 2 mins:

Hey, so... if I attack Israel and close the Strait, can I have $300 Billion, too??

Interesting how all the BS that 'Murican rwingers buh-lieve is seen as the petty self-interested nonsense it is.

You know, I hate to mention this again, prolly not as much as you hate for me to mention this again ;) but in the old story, these same countries and peoples DO eventually sign a Peace Agreement brokered by the AC.

Then he gets mad and attacks his former bestie Israel. Which now seems not so impossible.

"The Gestapo was Nazi Germany's infamous political police force.

Over the course of the Nazi era, the institution of the Gestapo expanded and changed. The groups targeted by the Gestapo shifted with the regime's policies and priorities. One thing remained consistent:

the Gestapo was a reliably brutal tool that enforced Nazism's most radical impulses.

Political policing is a specific type of police work. Its goal is to maintain the political status quo. Political police forces protect a state or government from subversion, sabotage, or coup.

They use surveillance and intelligence gathering. These methods help them identify domestic threats against the government. Political police forces are sometimes referred to as "secret police."

Authoritarian states, such as the Nazi regime, often rely on them to maintain and protect their power."

"Donald Trump's effort to restore American traditions"

Yeah! Like Racism, Bigotry, Jingoism, Misogyny, Homophobia, War Mongering, and Xenophobia!

Not to mention that New Republican Tradition, Pedophilia!

Or the GOP's love of Presidents who are lying convicted criminals; finger rapists and woman defamers, banking frauds and those who told their DOJ to illegally overturn a Pres Election!

Gotta love these great American Traditions!

"82nd Airborne Deployment to Israel Went Unannounced

A leaked deployment order shows that troops went to Israel, a detail omitted from Pentagon announcements about a CENTCOM deployment."

Does this meant that kids won't buy Trump phones?

I mean, what will Corporations do if they can't brainwash kids at an early age?

"Every parent can see it with their own eyes. Social media is making children unhappy," said Starmer, who has two teenage children. "I've heard first hand from families crying out for change and we will do right by them."

The move, expected to take effect early next year, makes the U.K. part of a growing global movement to tighten online safety for children. Australia, Canada, Brazil and Indonesia have introduced legislation or announced age-based restrictions or requirements for children's access to social media. France, Spain, Denmark, Thailand and South Korea are among others studying or developing similar approaches."

And... Nuttyahoo is not amused:

"The Iran deal is an American failure that endangers Israel

The senior American official distorted the truth in a briefing to reporters:

The centrifuges will remain, the enriched uranium will not be removed, and Trump himself contradicted him the next day.

Iran won on the money issue: Lifting sanctions on oil exports will channel tens of billions of dollars to the Revolutionary Guards, more than they earned by bypassing sanctions.

Senior US official to Israel: "You will not be a signatory to the agreement, but every action you take will have to be coordinated with the US."

"But even before we have the details, it is clear that Trump has failed to achieve every one of the goals he put forward for this war of choice, and now he is determined to sign, seal, and deliver America's capitulation as quickly as possible."
