Fuck you, no. We have had enough nutjobs here, took us long enough to clean them out (and we aren’t finished yet).

Something different from an old VHS tape, X-mal Deutschland during their heydays with Orient and Anja Huwe glaring at the audience:

Yeah, that’s what SA, SS or Gestapo did, “perform razzias”.

Everything is a concentration camp!

So, AOC never intended to allude to Nazi concentration camps, instead referring to the meaning, supposedly every American uses? And Steve King comparing immigration to a “a slow-motion holocaust”meant a calamitious event like a fire?
It’s a culture war and in war everything is allowed. THEY belittle the Holocaust, WE…

Did you read what I wrote? If these ICE camps are state controlled killing grounds with the express intent to kill as many people as possible (and succeeding in it), then call them concentration camps. If this is not the case, use internment camp or whatever.

Your analogy is wrong: when someone without clothes or food knocks on my door and tells he is being persecuted and asks if he could stay in my home for a while, well, yes, then I would take him in.

As accurate as describing Harvey Weinstein as a “film producer” and “producer of Tarantino movies”. Not wrong but leaving out the present. Concentration camps were used to exterminate enemies of the Nazi state (or whomever they thought of as enemies), they started out that way on a small level and at the end of the…

Read it (interesting article, thanks) but why does it mean I’m wrong. Dara Horn says “It is quite amazing how many things are not the Holocaust.” and that’s what I said.
It doesn’t mean that concentration camps can’t happen again, I’m saying they are not comparable to ICE camps as bad as these are.

Well, it lacks context, as usual. I’m pretty sure that “concentration camp” was used with exactly that background - to compare them to German concentration camps during the Nazi era, not with a definition of Miriam-Webster that is outdated.
The concentration camps were started from 1933 on to cope with the massive…

I agree. Even if Trump sounds (and looks) like the worst nightmare, he is actually pretty inefficient. Sure, he mans (yes, mans) the SCOTUS with his people. And yes, his ICE goons harass immigrants and asylum seekers. But really, it could be very much worse. For example he could have kept Bannon and Bannon could have…

They aren’t that unsuccessful. Far right populists took power in Hungary and Poland. The are or were in government coalitions (for example in Austria, until Strache had to clown around in front of a video camera).
Most of these guys knew what they were doing, unlike Trump who is too inept, uninterested and…

“specifically from the southern region called Franconia”

He’s more self-centered than the President but half as orange (ZING!).

All hail you!

While at it, Kilmeade could explain how Trump fucked US foreign policy even further into the abyss this week, when he promised right wing pariah Poland to send more US troops. Not from the US but from Germany, to punish us for not immediately following his dumb plan to ramp up defense spending by nearly 100%.…

And it’s pretty evident in soccer. Looking at the tournament it’s often 2. Bundesliga at best (the USWNT was good when they made world champion), there’s more clever play, tactics and good shots even in 1. Bundesliga. Not just a little slower or not noticeable as in tennis but clearly evident on the pitch.
I dislike…

Finally got his record and I’m in a cozy 70s haze. Bob Carpenter - Silent Passage

There is a study made in Germany regarding child abuse (I would have to search to find it) that revealed some surprising things. Besides woman being named quite often as the culprit (still, the most crimes were done by men), sexual child abuse was often committed by people who had no prior pedophile leanings, who…

I can remember, when I stuck my right hand into a printing press in the 80s (back when there was print), I had a hard time getting to use my left hand for everything. Never had to try to phone with my right ear, though.
