Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don't like those losers. I like the generals who knew where to put the suitcase.
What?
Personally none of the things this article says surprise me. But unfortunately, the author doesn't seem to provide any sources for Trumps statements, only the denials of those statements. Idk if people are just scared and want to remain anonymous or what but it loses integrity when people refuse to identify themselves or rather when A reporters article doesn't have sources like this.

Better than someone losing their life for not remaining anonymous IMO.
Won't argue that.
I mean..
Looking up from a history text book
I want you to have the kind of Hitlers General had...
Especially the ones like this guy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_von_Stauffenberg
Probably don't wanna be the ones like this guy though - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_R%C3%B6hm
I read that as genitals...
Have you forgotten yet?
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

It’s Cluster B. Alternative reality. Never to blame. They almost need enemies to work on to be themselves. Gaslight or verbally abuse those in disagreement lest your private reality break. No empathy. Chases power over scenarios.
We’re living inside the reality of a mental illness. And because it goes to the highest office, the fuckery is exponentially more.
so basically fascism.

Read the whole and thing and, wow. It's just unbelievable to me that people can support this man so fervently.
I guess it's what happens when you give people permission to be completely selfish and devoid of empathy. He's a fucking psychopath.
It’s what happens when you get your news in parts of the country where Fox and Sinclair own the airwaves. They make immigrants and democrats seem terrifying.

Is he aware that Germany lost?
I expect he is a slow reader. He may not have gotten to that part of the book yet.

Hitler ended up firing most of his generals. Then he shot himself.
Hitler's best generals tried to kill him.

I read this entire article, and it made me sad. Because the guy's probably going to win. The people who need to read this article simply won't, and they will continue to believe what he tells them.
The people who need to read the article would, and then complain that it's all lies to denigrate Trump. It's a sick joke that I have family members who, "respect the military and those who serve", but continue to tout Trump as a Messianic figure to save America. The brainwashing/rot is real.

Goddamn. And he's potentially president a second time.
Trump has already caused significant damage. If he wins, we can expect things to get really bad.
But even if he loses, look at what he's done. He truly believes personal gain is the only thing someone should ever value. There is no justice for someone like that, other than taking it all away. Forcing him to realize that humanity has only survived because we can work together for collective gain.
