That’s why they called it the National Socialist Party.

The Nationalists were the veterans and Right wingers who thought Germany had been screwed by the Allies, and the Socialists were the Left wing folks.

Someone downvoted you fro providing accurate information.

FYI

At the time, even giant Nixon haters like Hunter Thompson were willing to accept his resignation and eventual pardon. People didn’t like it, but at the time the idea of a US President being sent to actual jail was difficult to imagine. There were no big protest marches, people just voted against Ford.

Unhappily, the right saw this and figured that the lesson was that they could get away with it next time.

That’s why when I read Ms. Slaughter’s line it really hit home.

I was seeing the macho image they wanted to convey, and ignoring the hurt children who were lashing out.

I always thought of it in terms of "we’re professional criminals, we go against the police and society as a whole.

“We don’t want to be locked up with dirty perverts.”

I saw it as a pride thing, tbh.

Karin Slaughter is one of my favorite crime novelists.

She had an interesting take; she said that the reason child molesters have trouble in prison is because a lot of the prisoners were molested themselves. It isn’t about avenging other people’s kids.

Truman was a Democrat, not GOP.

I’ve been saying this for years.

Unhappily, there are plenty of people who will swear the AOC is as bad as Schumer because has gone along with the Party.

The trouble is the MAGA has already outgrown Trump.

They know what they can get away with.

Some Jews embraced the idea that Adam had two wives. The first, made from dust thought she was his equal. Lilith got cast out and fornicated with beasts to become mother of all demons. Eve had her own issues…

One passage in the Bible says ‘beat your plowshares into swords’ and another says the opposite.

Handy book

Trump did a pretty through job of getting rid of senior military leadership.

You need to understand this.

They will tell you that the Bible shows that imperfect men can be chosen to do God’s work.

King David had a man sent to to front lines so David could have his wife. Lot slept with his daughters, and Noah was a drunk.

All the Epstein evidence doesn’t matter, because Donnie is anointed.

Back in the day, the Federal government mandated that all public swimming pools be open to all races.

Thousands of public swimming pools were filled with concrete.

Why do people who grew up with memes act like understanding a news headline is beyond their comprehension?

So, people in Gaza shouldn’t fight back?

Because they should avoid war?

Why ‘good for them?’

They were all happy to let other folks go and get killed.

Trump’s grandfather left Germany to escape the draft. Fred Trump got WW2 deferments and Donnie’s ‘bone spurs’ are, of course, the stuff of legends.

Barron has a legitimate deferment, so unless Tiffany joins, the family will be five generations without service.

Any child except Ivanka, and she’s getting a little old for him.

Not a doctor, but it looks to me like it’s an actual increase, not just an increase in diagnosis
