You mentioned that Chris Miller (Trumps lackey) was the other one with Trump that could launch nuclear missiles? Are you fuqqing kidding me?! If so, the danger I worried about everyday back then was real! And it is totally insane that these people are still out running around. One thing that Ruth Ben-Ghiat (who studies world dictators…authored the book “Strongmen”) mentioned in her discussion is that America is the ONLY country that did not immediately exile (throw out of the country) a president who attempted a coup. She said this is bad. And she says because of how many guns we have here that if the GOP take over we have a very high probability for violence. She also made mention that all Trumps rallies are really training to normalize violence. And now China is acting out. WTF?! This is just crazy shit. I cannot believe this is the USA. I miss the old days.

One thing I struggle to get my head around is why so many Koch aligned folk (Pompeo, Pence, Cippaloni) were fighting the Flynn/ Bannon faction. I mean the Kochs hate democracy as much as anyone else, and got in line with election rat-fucking after the election. Is it just that they didn’t like Trump, or think the plan would work? I don’t know.

Good combination. This is one of their long form pieces that I hoped they would have also paid a professional reader when I clicked to open it.

I don't think people really want to grasp that most people do no survive retaliation from military personnel trained to suicide people. So anyway, paying professional readers is so helpful.

Interesting that Trump’s heroes are nazi generals, who were on the losing side in WW2.

They were constantly outwitted by British intelligence, and the German comms (Enigma) were essentially hacked by Alan Turing of Bletchley Park (Turing would be perceived as a ‘woke’ nowadays).

Fun fact - on D-Day Hitler was asleep for most of the day (due to insomnia) and they couldn’t wake him up to give orders for panzer battalions etc to move into defensive positions. By that stage of the war, Hitler had stripped all power/authority from his generals, choosing to (badly) micro manage everything himself instead.

Also see ‘Operation mincemeat’ which fooled Nazi intelligence, Generals, and Hitler.

My point is, fascists always lose #Hopium.

Wow, f_*king insane.

Do they not know, the more diverse people we have, the stronger our economy is? If we're at 99% economic capacity, how are we to compete by doing stupid shit like building border walls, failing to fund education or invest in ourselves?

These Nazis are a f_*king problem.
