Here's everything wrong with today's Democratic Party in One Headline



Via: POLITICO
‘He is not going to be the nominee’:

Dems slam Sanders over Maduro stance


And no, this is not going to be a "they better nominate Bernie or else" post.  I am a Sanders fan, but I am not a "Bernie or bust" guy at all. Especially this time around with him pushing 80. I may go for Elizabeth Warren this year, or maybe someone whose hat has yet to be thrown into the ring. I don't know. I still think he has the best platform, but. . .anyway, let's not get sidetracked. Back to the problem with today's Dem Party:

‘He is not going to be the nominee’: Dems slam Sanders over Maduro stance
The just-announced 2020 contender declines to say whether the socialist Venezuelan dictator should go.
By 
Updated 

Florida Democrats are denouncing Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders for refusing to call Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro a dictator


So. . . Florida Democrats are angry that Sanders won't repeat the lie coming from the right? Nicolas Maduro is NOT a dictator. I don't know whether he's a good presidente' or a bad presidente'. Maybe he's the worst presidente' south of D.C. I don't know and itdoesn't matter, because Nicolas Maduro was duly elected by the citizens of Venezuela. in 2013.A lot of people like to claim that there was something shady about that election, but as the Guardian newspaper reported at the time:


No proof of the supposed irregularities has been offered. Outside observers have previously declared Venezuela's voting system, which incorporates both an electronic ballot and a hard copy, to be among the best in the world.

Taking the oppositon's claims of fraud seriously is tantamount to believing Trump's claims of 6 million illegal votes cast in 2016.

  Maduro was re-elected just last year in an election boycotted by the opposition party who then claimed, again, electoral fraud. It's b.s.  They boycotted because they knew they were going to lose.
And the Democrats like Donna Shalala

 are angry at Bernie Sanders - and openly promising that he will not be the nominee which seems pretty shady in and of itself - because why, exactly?

Both of Sanders’ positions play into the hands of President Trump and the GOP, say Democrats. The president just held a rally in Miami on Monday to denounce Maduro and socialism, an appeal to the state’s growing block of Venezuelan-American voters. 


Oh, of course! Because they're afraid they might offend the voters who attend Trump ralliies! Oh, you definitely wouldn't want to alienate the MAGAts!  This time around, they're sure to vote for whomever the Democratic nominee is going to be, as long as we make nice with them and play to their biases and prejudices and general ignorance of the world around them!



Sanders also would not say whether he considered Venezuela’s assembly leader, Juan Guaidó, as the nation’s interim president, which is the position of the United States 


Okay, see now here I do have a problem with Sanders, because he should have stated unequivocally that Juan Guaid' is NOT the interim president of Venezuela. He just declared himself to be the new president because he doesn't like the job Maduro is doing. This would be like Nancy Pelosi holding a press conference and saying "look, we all know Trump is lousy at this job, so I'm President now."
And, while we all might go "damn, I WISH Nancy Pelosi was the new president," we would all have to say "no, Ma'am, you're not. We have laws in this country, and people don't just get to declare themselves President."

Now imagine that Pelosi did this and a bunch of other countries started saying "Yup, Pelosi's President now!" and demanding that Trump remove himself from the White House. I mean, we all want Trump to leave the White House, but not like that.

And Pelosi would actually have a better case than Guaido', because a: Trump actually is unpopular, and b: you want to talk about election "irregularities?" Hoo boy!

Nicolas Maduro is not as unpopular a presidente' as they have tried to lead us to believe.





I don't know how popular he actually is. I don't know where you would find any reliable polling. From what I understand, he is extremely unpopular amongst the upper class white Venezuelans and very popular amongst Los Indios y Los Negros. Much like Hugo Chavez. And remember when the military coup briefly overthrew Chavez and the US immediately recognized the "new government" nad acted like a dictator had been overthrown? And then the people from the countryside poured into Caracas and DEMANDED that Chavez be re-nstated? Any time the US government refers to a foreign leader as a "dictator" or "strongman," take that with many grains of salt. It generally means he's too far left for their tastes and is sitting on oil.


Sanders did not embrace Maduro in his Tuesday interview with Univision’s Jorge Ramos, who quickly touched on Guaidó being declared the interim president of Venezuela by the nation’s National Assembly following Maduro’s questionable election.
But when he was asked whether he recognized Guaidó as the legitimate leader of the country, Sanders answered, “No.”


Oh. So he did say no. Why were they just saying that he " would not say" whether her recognized Guaido'? 

Image result for it's chinatown, jake

Forget it,Jake. It's Politico!


Aaaaaanyway. . .

Is Maduro a good or bad president? It's none of our business.
Is Venezuela's economy a mess?
Yeah, kind of. Mainly because the price of oil dropped and then the US put economic sanctions on Venezuela, holding millions of $ owed to Citgo and the Venezuelan oil company in frozen accounts. But no matter how their economy is doing, We. Have. No. Right. To . Interfere. In. The. Affairs. Of. State. Of. Another. Country. I guess Sanders is the only candidate who realizes this, so of course the DNC/DLC types are angry at him! Because the mainstream Democrats' foreign policy philosophy is generally indistinguishable from the right-wing hawks, except they cloak US Empire-building in "humanitarian" terms.



If you've got 20 minutes, here's a pretty good report on the reality of the situation in Venezuela. If you don't have time, a couple of key points:

1: Opposition media is alive and well in Venezuela, there are plenty of anti-Maduro newspapers sold openly at newsstands in Caracas.

2: People are not starving, not eating their pets, not eating rats. The supermarket shelves are full of food. There are shortages of certain specific items, like flour, but there is plenty of food available.

This is the dumbest rabbit hole I have ever been down.

Somehow, this Tweet showed up in my Twitter notifications as if it were a reply to one of my tweets. I have yet to figure out to what this is replying.




So, being a normal person, I naturally respomded



And immediately got this response:


So I clicked on it and began to read because I'm more curious than I am smart. IAlmost right away I had a question:


And I immediately got this response which I assume was translated from English into Japanese then back into English then into Esperanto and then had the William S. Burroughs cut-up method applied to it:



This did not answer my question. So I clarified:




No response. I don't know if I pissed this person off or maybe Nurse Ratched took their phone away, but I still didn't know what B.A. R. stood for.

So, because I never learn, I headed to the Google.

Typing "What is B.A.R." into Google was not at all edifying. There are plenty of articles about the Barr association, cocktail bars, barometric pressure and Browning Automatic Rifles, but I don't think any of them had any information on why a legal name would be illegal. So, I went back to the original link.

Image result for mistake guy gif

That took me to some sort of legal document written by a "Kate of . . . Kaea?" I would swear that the last time I looked, she was calling herself "Kate of Gaia."

Oh, but that will actually make sense in a minute. I mean, not "sense." It won't make "sense" as you and I understand the word "sense," but it will be, let's say, "unsurprising" that Kate would have changed her name in the last 48 hours.



BIRTH CERTIFICATE FRAUD; CLAUSULA REBUS SIC STANTIBUS 


For those of you who didn't take Latin in high school, Clausula rebus sic stantibus (Latin for "things thus standing"), in public international law, is the legal doctrine allowing for a treaty to become inapplicable because of a fundamental change of circumstances. (Wikipedia)


so,

It's gonna get Ca-Razzzzy!


Now, I did NOT go to law school, but I have seen a bunch of Law and Orders so I think I'm qualified to say that this is probably not the most advisable way to begin a legal document:

“ATTENTION: Lawyer, Judge, Government Agent/employee, Police, Common Man etc. et al/any/all who serve as a fictional LEGAL NAME/TITLE/I.D.-ENTITY (pronounced phonetically example: “leg-all enemy”((N-AM-E), “tit-El”/Luciferian)) character in the legal world reality;

Huh?
I mean, you had me at ATTENTION," but after that you kinda lost me.

Okay, so I've looked into this a bit, and it seems that a lot of Kate-of-wherever's philosophy revolves around the fact that words can be spelled phonetically and there are homonyms in the English language, and that leads to something called "phonics deception" which, as you might have guessed, hands your child over to Satan.

Well, it's a bit tricky. I found a blog that Kate has where she gives a nice tidy explanation - - Just kidding, it's goddamm gibberish!


Legal Name Fraud Explained

by kate of kaia

(yes, this time its "Kaia.")

Let's skip past her "explanation" of what the term "fraud" means and get to the  Satan part.


When pair-ents (two minds) or payer-rents choose to REGISTER their children, they are LITERALLY trading off the life source of the being that is SUCKED into that body in this reality for the whore of Baby-loans LEGAL NAME dead child, in essence, ADOPTING Satan’s child in LLEU of heaven’s child. The Laws-R-us effect, raising the dead NAME DEMON and razing the living consciousness you THINK of as YOU and every other human being as well as all sentient life in this reality. In short, YOU offer up your living child as a sacrifice to Satan while your living child commits sign after sign (sin upon sin) and ADOPT the dead LEGAL DEMON literally breathing life into evil with every creation thenceforth.

Image result for Oh, of course!


Well, sure. that makes perfect sense! I mean, a couple goes to the hospital, the baby is born, the parents (Which is a word that sounds sorta like "pay-rents" - makes you think, eh?) give a name for the birth certificate, and then go home with a changeling because. . . um. . .

and now a word from our sponsor…

Now, ordinarily I would just think "oh, that's sad. this lady is nuts," but something weird is happening. According to the website "Lowering the Bar," there seems to be some money behind this. . . I don't want to say "movement," but. . . this "idea?"





As BBC reporter Jon Kelly wrote the other day, billboards like the one above have been popping up all over the UK. They are getting a lot of publicity, which is what billboards are supposed to do, but in this case nobody’s sure what the publicity is for, or exactly who is paying to get it or why. Or what it even means.
And it seems that Kate-of-Goya or whatever isn't the only one trying this legal, um, "strategy."


Believe it or not, the plaintiff who filed this is complaining about somebody else's grammar:








Anyway, I'm sure there is much much farther to go down this particular rabbit hole, but I'm done. This is just too stupid, it's not even entertaining anymore.

Bullshit Headline of the Day


From the always reliable Yahoo News:


So, the Covington Catholic school boys were cleared of wrongdoing in the viral encounter with Nathan Phillips
 People Magazine


Image result for oh really?


Hmm, I hadn't heard about that. By whom were they cleared?


An investigation commissioned by a Kentucky Catholic school of the much-publicized face-off last month between the school’s students and Native Americans in Washington, D.C. found “no evidence” the students made “offensive or racist statements” to a tribal elder or members of his group, according to a February 11th report. The report also concluded the students did not “instigate the incident.”

Um. . . really? We're going to pretend that this was some sort of legitimate investigation?


Rev. Roger Foys, the bishop of Covington, said in a letter to parents that his “hope and expectation” that the inquiry “would ‘exonerate our students so that they can move forward with their lives’ has been realized.” 

Because that's how you get an unbiased, objectivbe investigation. Begin with the hope and expectation that your students will be exonerated. That lets the people you are paying to do the investigation know that you want them to be completely unbiased!

And I'm sure that the investigation was super thorough, right?
 Four licensed investigators spent 240 hours interviewing 43 students and chaperones on the trip and reviewed about 50 hours of “internet activity” on YouTube, Vimeo, major news networks, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Okayyyy. . . . 

Investigators did not interview Phillips, whom they said they could not contact







And we're going with the headline that says these pricks were "cleared of wrongdoing?" Seriously? Not "Diocese claims that half-assed phony investigation clears their boys of wrongdoing?" Or "Surprisingly, Catholic diocese is adept at covering up misdeeds, alsomt as if they have centuries of practice or something."

People who should shut the hell up about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez


So we all know that Tehran Tom Cotton is a boob, right? And a terrible person too, but an absolute boob. Well, he was on fellow evil boob Hugh Hewitt's radio show yesterday and had this to say about AOC's attempt to keep Planet Earth habitable for humans:



Sen. Tom Cotton blasts 'Stalin-like' coverup of Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal FAQ

William Cummings


Because, I guess when Candace Owens is getting headlines for being cool with Hitler: the Early Years, you might as well display a similarly profound misunderstanding of Stalin.


Image result for stalin


You know nothing of my work!



WASHINGTON – Sen. Tom Cotton believes the news media engaged in a "Stalin-like" cover-up of a Green New Deal document produced by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office.
During a discussion of the ambitious environmental resolution introduced last week by the freshman New York congresswoman, Cotton pointed to a "frequently asked questions" explainer released, and then retracted, as part of the resolution's rollout.


You know, just like Stalin used to do!


"I understand the Democrats that proposed this immediately tried to retract that white paper that went along with their resolution," Cotton said. "And too many people in the media have been complicit in the Stalin-like or 1984 technique of disappearing it, sending it down the memory hole."


Ah. I see. And how did they do this? How did the media participate in the Orwellian rewriting of history?

Crickets GIF

Awkward The Simpsons GIF 



Oh, right. You're on right-wing radio! You don't have to substantiate your claims or give any supporting evidence or examples. You can just make any sort of outrageous claims you want, as long as they are positive about Trump or negative about any Democrats, and no one is ever going to ask any follow-up questions that might cause you to show that you're completely full of shit. What was I thinking?



Cotton said it was "remarkable" how many Democratic presidential candidates "you had leap onto a proposal that was going to confiscate every privately owned vehicle in America within a decade, and ban air travel so we could all drive or ride around on high-speed light rail, supposedly powered by unicorn tears." 



Oh, okay. So you clearly have a firm grasp of what is in the proposal. It's not like you're just making up ridiculous shit and pretending that that is what the bill says.

I mean, I guess this is the part you're prattling about:

Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle.
So, building lots of charging stations for electric cars. I guess that makes sense, because if you're going to seize all privately-owned cars, first you're going to want to provide a lot of infrastructure for those cars that will no longer be in use. That's logical.

And building so much high-speed rail that air travel becomes unnecessary is absolutely the same thing as banning air travel. You know, just like when automobiles started to become popular, horses were outlawed.

Now only outlaws have horses.




I couldn't find the part about the unicorn tears, but isn't it just like these darn lefties to make unicorns cry?

Image result for unicorn crying gif


They're taking my car away!


Oh, and speaking of the Green New Deal, here's a good example of how utterly useless Amy Klobuchar is:

Most of the declared 2020 Democratic candidates have expressed support for the Green New Deal, including . . .  Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.
Klobuchar plans to vote for the resolution, but also implied she might not vote for it as written if it came to the Senate floor as "actual legislation."
"I see it as aspirational, I see it as a jump-start," she said in an interview on Fox News Tuesday. "So I would vote yes, but I would also – if it got down to the nitty-gritty of an actual legislation as opposed to, 'oh here’s some goals we have,' that would be different for me." 
Of course! She'll vote for it if it's meaningless. Ys, sure, you betcha! She's all for it if it's symbolic. If it's actually going to do something, well Geez, let's just hold up a minute there, now.
(yes, that's me trying to type in a Minnesota accent.)


And here's another person whose opinion on AOC is not wanted or needed and should just shut the hell up and be glad that we aren't building guillotines yet.

Bill Gates Has Some Harsh Words for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Tax Plan
 Chris Morris Tue, Feb 12 12:36 PM EST 
Oh, really. The guy who made a vast fortune with products everyone hates and tried to avoid using but can't has some thoughts about his tax rate? Oh, do go on! I'm sure we'd all love to hear the insights of a man whose mighty financial empire was built on ripping off Apple's OS (which, to be fair, Apple stole from Xerox) and forcing PC users everywhere to purchase it whether they want it or not.


Bill Gates says he’s fine with the idea of higher taxes for the rich, but plans like the one being championed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which target the top income brackets, are too extreme—and could encourage the wealthy to hide their money in offshore accounts.

Image result for oh no gif cartoon


Oh my God! Could you imagine? Could you even picture a reality in which the wealthy hide their money in offshore accounts? How would that even work? There would have to be a country like Switzerland or the Cayman Islands that would allow the super-rich to hide their wealth in anonymous accounts somehow.


Gates, in an interview with The Verge, didn’t mention Ocasio-Cortez or her well-publicized tax proposal directly by name, but his focus was clear. While the Microsoft co-founder and world’s second richest man agreed the U.S. could be “more progressive,” he downplayed “extreme” proposals, such as the freshman representative’s plan to raise the top tax rate from 37% to 70%.

Oh my God, he's right! That would be so extreme! We haven't has a top rate that high since. . . Um, 1980. Wait, really? Well, that must have been an outlier, right? I mean before that, the top rate was, let's see in the 1940's it was . . . NINETY-FOUR PERCENT??? Oh, well, that was probably because we were fighting World War II. What about the Golden Age, the Pax Americana, the Eisenhower years? Ah, see. Once the crisis was over and we had a stable economy and a conservative president in office, the top marginal rate went back down to a sensible. . . NINETY-ONE PERCENT! You know, I'm starting to think maybe Bill Gates might possibly not know what the fuck he's talking aboiut and should shut the hell up or something.

Idiots in the News

Idiot #1: "Duck Commander" Phil Robertson.
An interview recently resurfaced on Fox Business Tuesday of Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson criticizing support of universal health care.
Roberston believes that instead of medicine, people need more Jesus.
“I have eternal healthcare and it’s free,” Phil Robertson says.

Image result for phil robertson eyes

Okay, first of all how is this lunatic still being interviewed on tv? Weren't his 15 minutes up about 8 years ago? And honestly, I can not fathom what ever made anyone think that this ridiculous  kook was someone whose opinions on any subject should be sought out. I mean, he looks like the Ancient freaking Mariner. Have you seen those eyes? Those are the eyes of someone who has seen horrors that can not be described by words. These are the eyes of someone who took the brown acid and never completely made it all the way back. Those are the eyes of an H.P. Lovecraft character. If you saw this guy standing on the sidewalk, you'd cross the street to avoid him. And, I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but in this case, the cover is a damn good representation of what's on the pages.
I mean, seriously. Listen to this gibbering blather:

“We have been given — contrary to what Kamala Harris said — she says, ‘Elect me and everything’s free!'” Robertson complained. “‘Look! Everybody can have their own health care, the government is going to finance the whole thing! It’s not going to cost but $30 trillion. I’m offering you the greatest deal you ever had. Elect me and everything will be free!'”


Is there a complete sentence in there? Also, is he saying that Kamala Harris is claiming that healthcare will be free and also that it will cost $30 trillion? Because I'm not sure whether she's said either of those things, but she damn sure hasn't said both. Because she's not a lunatic.


“Kamala, I already have health care. It’s given to me by God. Eternal health care,” 



Eternal health care? Do you mean like in Heaven?


I already have health care..It’s given to me by God. Eternal health care. I’m guaranteed to be raised from the dead. I have life and immortality given to me by God through Jesus.”

Yep, I guess that is what he means. Well, that's great and all, but most of us would like to be able to see a doctor while we're still alive.

Also, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand all have come out in support of Medicare for All, yet he seems insanely laser-focused on Kamala Harris. I wonder why that is?


Youknowwhy Guess GIF - Youknowwhy Guess KenanThompson GIFs 


When host Neil Cavuto questioned him about the fact that people “get sick on Earth in human form,” Roberston said:
“The temporary reprieve is not worth it. I’m telling her, I have eternal health care and it’s free. Doctors can give you a little temporary reprieve, but they cannot save you from physical death. The doctors who treat you, they die, too.”


Oh my God. Is that true? Doctors are mortal? And despite the fact that they can cure many illnesses, they can not grant us immortality? Oh, well forget it, then. I mean what's the point? If we're just going to eventually die anyway, I might just as well let my cholesterol and blood sugar run amok and let's get it over with!

It is the only authentic response to the absurdity of life, nee'st-ce pas?


“A man that talks a lot like the president of the United States, he’s going to make some mistakes,” Robertson insisted. “I’m just saying the news media, according to Jesus, the evil one is the father of murder — that kind of fills in the blanks on why we’re such a murderous nation all the way down to killing our sons and daughters in our mothers’ wombs.”


Oh. Yeah.. . . Right. I totally remember that passage in the Bible where Jesus told his disciples about how the news media's lies would lead to a nation becoming a bunch of  child-murderers, and OH MY GOD YOU"RE FUCKING INSANE!


“And he’s the father of lies,” he added. “I’ve never seen the extent of this kind of lying coming out of the news media. I’ve never seen anything like it since I’ve been on the Earth.”
“But you don’t see it out of the president?” Cavuto pressed.
“I would say Donald Trump is not a liar,” Robertson remarked.

Not a liar?
Oh, dear lord.
Seriously, even FOX Business should have higher standards than this!


Idiot # 2: Whoever did this "study."



LESBIAN RELATIONSHIPS ONLY EXIST BECAUSE MEN FIND IT A TURN-ON, CLAIMS STUDY


A new study that attempted to reveal the origins of lesbianism, is claiming that same-sex relationships in women only exist because it turns men on.
Published on Science Direct, the report by Menelaos Apostolou, a male professor at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus comes to the conclusion that lesbian and bisexual attraction all stems from male desire

Yeahhhhh, that makes sense. Because out of all the categories of people - hetero men, gay men, hetero women, bisexuals, etc. the one group who absolutely has the most interest in what turns straight men on would of course be lesbians!

“My argument in the paper is this: A considerable proportion of men desire same-sex attractions in women, and this is one possible reason why many women have such attractions,” Apostolou told Pink News.


Judge Judy Isn't Havin It GIF - JudgeJudy FacePalm Stressed GIFs

Ughhhh. I don't know why I do these things, but I clicked on the link to the study. Here is the abstract:

Abstract
Prevalence studies indicate that about one in five women experience some degree of same-sex attraction. The evolutionary origins of such attraction are not well understood. Accordingly, this paper proposed a theoretical framework where, during the period of human evolution, same-sex attractions in women were under positive selection. The source of positive selection has been male preferences for opposite-sex sex partners who experienced same-sex attractions. 

A "theoretical framework" is a pretty fancy way of saying "baseless speculation."  I mean, he's hypothesizing that, at some points, cavemen were selecting mates by asking cavewomen whether they were "into girls." And if they said no, then these horny cavemen were just going "oh, well. Never mind. If you're not attracted to other cavewomen, then I guess there's really no point in having sexual intercourse with you. I mean where's the fun in that? If you aren't thinking about other women while we're doing it, I can't get off."  That's the scenario he's proposing, and from THAT, he builds his theory. He's just going to say "let's assume that there was a point in human development where all the troglodyte men were really horny for bisexual troglodyte ladies. Well, assuming that, then we can speculate about the biological imperative for preserving the bisexual gene in women."

see fatpeoplehate man file manscaping Shave beard,manscaping,file,man GIF

Yeah, but it isn't though.



This theoretical framework was used to generate four predictions that were tested in two online studies which employed a total of 1509 heterosexual participants.



Amy Poehler GIF - SNL SaturdayNightLove AmyPoehler GIFs


You didn't ask any lesbians? You had a question about lesbians and you asked zero lesbians? And this makes sense to you?

It was found that heterosexual women did not desire partners who experienced same-sex attractions, but a considerable proportion of heterosexual men desired partners who experienced same-sex attractions.



And yet. Gay men exist. And bisexual men. Even though male-on-male sexuality is not a "turn-on" for women. So right there, you've already proven that your cockamamie theory is total bullshit. I mean, you didn't need to prove it, the "theory" didn't pass the laugh test, but you've really proved it.


 In addition, it was found that men were more sexually excited than women by the same-sex infidelity of their partners, and they desired more than women, their opposite-sex partners to have sex with same-sex individuals. 


wtf idgi emma stone what trending GIF

Where did you find these men?

Did you. . . did you just interview characters from porno movies? Not the actors, but the characters? Did you have imaginary conversations with the pool boy and the pizza guy with extra sausage and imagine them saying "yeah, dude, I love it when my wife sleeps with other women. I would sure hate to be married to a faithful spouse!"

I can't read any further. It's so absurd. How in the hell did a "science" journal publish this claptrap?


Idiot # 3: Candace Owens.

“I actually don’t have any problems at all with the world ‘nationalism’,” Owens said,  “Whenever we say ‘nationalism,’ the first thing we think about — at least in America — is Hitler. He was a national socialist, but if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine.”



via GIPHY

No, Candace! Bad Candace! We don't say "OK" or "Fine" when we're talking about Hitler!


“The problem is, he had dreams outside of Germany,” Owens continued. “He wanted to globalize, 


Image result for oh my god gif


THAT's the problem? THAT was the problem. With HITLER? That he wanted to go global? Like, as long as he just wanted to murder millions of Jews, Roma, LGBTs, leftists, and the disabled in his own country, then - how did you say?. . . "ok, fine?"

How does this happen?
Youstart out by saying that you have no problem with nationalism, then you say "you know who was a good nationalist? Hitler!" Then you say "well, he was good until he stopped being just a nationalist and wanted to be a 'globalist.'"  I mean, don't you get paid to say things? Things that are supposed to bring people TO your side of the political divide? And you come up with "hey, we're on the same side as Hitler! You know, his early work, before he sold out and went all global."  Holy Christ!
