#JAILTOTHECHIEF- Shit Just Got Real

[Romana]

I'm in the middle of reading Beyond Belief: The American Press And The Coming Of The Holocaust, 1933- 1945, by Deborah Lipstadt, which addresses the question of what was the US press reporting about the Nazi persecution of the Jews and the Holocaust from 1933--1945, how it was reporting it, and what were the public and official reactions to the growing revelations about mass murder and genocide.

The various reactions, public and official both, included discussions about admitting European Jews fleeing persecution and murder at the hands of the Nazis should be allowed shelter in the US, the UK, and elsewhere -- and generally, not matter how much the various governments, media and public deplored the suffering and murder of the Jews, they were far less willing to offer refuge to anyone fleeing from Nazi persecution.

The attitudes to refugees held then by large sections of the US and UK media, politicians and public, and the arguments against allowing them to enter the country, seem alarmingly similar to those we see and hear nowadays.

I'd expect she includes the tragedy of the MS St. Louis, then. That encapsulates those attitudes to me.
Rump's speech makes it clear he despises Jews, but he thinks they need him. And I guess AIPAC is buying into it.
And here's the Wicked Witch of Palm Beach trying to out-bigot him:

BTW here's this interesting documentation upon what happened at the 20th February 1939 at Madison Square Garden, NYC: about 20.000 American Nazis met there for a rally. I wonder if one of Trump's ancestors participated...

Well, his dad was arrested at a KKK riot in 1927, so possibly.

Every age and country has that. For example, the Finnish PM even wanted to let refugees use his second house until his security peeps talked it out of him. Yet at the same time there is an anti-immigrant party there too so refugees think Finland as a whole keeps to their attitudes.

The problem comes when a people in a country refuse to admit to that attitude being present (or even that it existed in the past).

This guy, but it got me thinking:


Maybe rename it CAMUS given the absurdity of the last four years.

The Fathead-In-Chief is in Hershey, PA, this evening. Which is about 30-40 minutes from me. I wanted to go to the protest, but because of work and having to pick my son up from a Chess match, I still wouldn't be there had I gone, and it was until 7.

Pence is going to be there, too. I take comfort in believing that his dementia is getting so bad that they need to send babysitters with him, now, wherever he goes.

Just make a day/weekend trip to DC sometime. Take in the sights and odds are there will be a protest at the WH or his hotel or both. On the off chance there is no protest make a sign yourself and take pics with the building, you, and the sign.

 

[Kamilah Hauptmann]

Hahaha, I know someone in Hershey. Imma make fun of them.

There is so much I couldn't even begin to start quoting that is terribly offensive about trump's speech yesterday. So just a link.

Trump’s speech in Hershey revealed a presidency off the rails

It was one of his ugliest rallies yet — and put the stakes of 2020 in sharp relief.

I watched a smidgeon of it on TV but my brain shattered and I threw up in my mouth a little. I had to walk away, it was outrageous and despicable.

I wonder what fresh kompromat Lavrov brought for Rump to hang over their heads?

They don't care, as long as he "triggers" "the libs".

I have already had several youtube channels cover it as his most inflammatory one yet,

 

[Kara Spengler]

What are the odds donnie does not see the irony? Someone photoshop a leash in that pic.

Of course they do. The question is are they right that it is equivalent to "dictator" and will the rest of them just let them have their way?

 

[Essence Lumin]

He's completely off his rocker and it doesn't seem to really matter.

 

[Aribeth Zelin]

Nah, i don't think its Trump blackmailing anyone, but rather foriegn sources controlling them both [probably blackmail, but also threats against family and the like.]
