Pic Of The Moment: Probably Nothing To Be Concerned About

[EarlG]

Trump's envy of Hitler revealed by his own ex-chief of staff

[flying_wahini]

1. Kelly needs to be on Faux news telling THEM.

[mountain grammy]

3. Agree!

[lapfog_1]

26. They wouldn't listen anyway

and the Fox news host would either attack Kelly or push the narrative that Trump was right to require absolute loyalty

[LetMyPeopleVote]

2. K&R

[speak easy]

14. yes

[dalton99a]

4. Kick

[AZLD4Candidate]

5. filed in my No Shit Sherlock file

[niyad]

8. No kidding!!

[PatSeg]

6. And no one who is paying attention is surprised

Trump is obsessed with dictators and that is the kind of leader that he wants to be. Hell, that is the kind of leader he was in his company.

[Harker]

7. I don't recall our military officers carrying out a bomb plot against him.

Trumpsky has a twisted view of what loyalty is, and of whom and what is deserving of it.

[democrank]

9. If I had to guess....

I’d say Trump, while in the White House, probably walked past one of the former First Lady’s famous red Christmas trees and saw a “Be Best” ornament. That moment probably had a profound impact and made Trump want to praise somebody. He chose Hitler.

When you’re a star, they let you do it.

[niyad]

10. I like the maga mustache!

[Ohioboy]

36. He really kinda looks like Hitler with the stash

[LittleGirl]

11. Typo on word Economic nt

[Ocelot II]

12. Hitler's "hold on senior officers"? Officers like von Stauffenberg?

[Ray Bruns]

19. Beat me too it. just goes to show you how stupid trump is.

[canetoad]

52. It was more than Von Stauffenberg and his helpers

In the final months and weeks, Goering tried to negotiate with the Allies, so did Himmler prompting the fuhrer to cut them both off from his circle. Rommel was suspect and made to commit suicide and don't forget Rudolf Hoss who flew to Scotland to broker a truce.

And I think this is only the surface. The nazis were only interested in saving their own skins. A bit like the republicans.

[Ocelot II]

53. Yup. They started turning on each other

as the GOP will do and in some cases have already started doing.

[usonian]

13. Hitler did only one good thing.

He killed Hitler.

[YoshidaYui]

42. I have no idea why The Japanese would

Allie themselves with Nazis- I know it was about oil and fuel but really the Japanese had nothing in common with the German people- why they chose to go to war against the United States and “awaken a Sleeping Giant “ ?? My family was living in Hawaii during
Pearl Harbor though they never went to internment because we were half native Hawaiian.

[usonian]

44. You'd have to ask historians.

I don't even want to speculate, being clueless on this matter. And Italy?

Dictators' minds are warped and it's beyond the ability of us supposedly normal people to comprehend. I have made some amateur studies of cults, which help explain our current situation, and fight fascism, but who knows?

All those dictators and our former "Predator" rose because people fell under their spell, and sane people did not prevail. But the camaraderie between these Shitlers is another matter. We saw too much of it with Dolt 45. It's for historians and psychologists to unravel, if they can.

A key element of their takeovers seems to have been taking control of the military. While perhaps not related directly to your question, I do want to thank the US military for standing strong in their oath to uphold the Constitution. Donnie did not join the "club". He was and is all bluster and grift.

Just sayin'.

[Wednesdays]

50. I think the Germany/Japan alliance was

mostly due to their mutual detestation of Stalin and the USSR.

[msfiddlestix]

55. Tension over the colonization of the Hawaiian Islands between Japan The "West" began in American Colonial times before

the revolution was underway. Between Japan and Great Britain.

And then things just progressed along for a couple a hundred years, and it became what it did now lives in our burnt into our collectives minds in living history. But your point is well taken, I agree we need to defer to scholars on this angle with alliance and Hitler.

[Johonny]

15. Im shocked Trump knows nothing about history

Because he seems so knowledgeable in nothing else either. Does Trump know anything about any subject?

[ShazzieB]

29. He doesn't know much, but he sure thinks he does.

If you don't believe me, just ask him!

?si=bZwulYyCzH_PfGHn

[dmr]

48. Wow, Shazzie, he knows a lot about knowing a lot, doesn't he?

Too bad that the person who compiled this video didn't just ask TFG to put it together. Why, the video would be 10 hours long, at least. Nobody knows more than TFG. He'd show us!

How do I know? He told us so, and TFG never, ever lies about something as important as his stable intelligence. Would he?
🎓🤥
Anyway, that video was gòod.. I enjoyed it. Thank you for posting it.

[TeamProg]

16. Love the MAGA mustache. So appropriate. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Like father (Fred) like son.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[lastlib]

40. IOW, the turd didn't fall far from the asshole......

Yep. My disgust for the turd grows daily.

[SYFROYH]

23. Sadly, this is actually very mainstream.

I grew up hearing that Hitler did great things but did some things the wrong way.

[Kid Berwyn]

24. Speaking of: Gotta good punch-a-lot-o-NAZIs movie.

A fun film, based on a story I wish were true.

25. I hear that Harlan Crow has a nice collection of NAZI shit,

perhaps he and *rump can bond, if they haven't already.



Thanks for the thread EarlG

[SarahD]

27. Isn't Kelly the one who said all the nutty stuff?

Maybe I'm confused. There were so many crazies in that bunch, I can't keep them straight.

[Hekate]

35. Trump had a lot of intelligent people in his Cabinet at first. They took the job thinking he could learn

…and that they could provide guardrails. As we all know by now, they were wrong. Some left early, some left late, some got kicked out in deliberately humiliating ways.

Kelly’s an old soldier who believes in his oath. I think the one you are thinking of is General Flynn, a genuine Christofascist.

[SarahD]

37. Flynn! That's right.

Thanx.

[forgotmylogin]

28. Hitler is never a person to play Devil's Advocate for.

Such as "Well Hitler had good ideas also..." Just because someone might cite that Hitler had a pet he was kind to doesn't override genocide.

If you're devil's-advocating for Hitler, and trying to paint him in a good light, you're a nazi and/or you're dog-whistling to nazis and bigots and racists...

It's like "Well, the trains ran on time under Mussolini..."

[brush]

30. The idiot. Some of his senior staff tried to kill him by placing a bomb in a brief case...

under a table, meant to go off during a staff meeting. He was lucky and only slightly injured.

They should've tried again IMO.

[Hekate]

31. I think the plotters were too dead to try again

[brush]

34. Well, there is that. But you get my sentiment...other staffers.

Hitler, like trump, thought he was the best general. We're lucky in a way that Hitler was Germany's supreme commander because they very well could've won that war.

The British army was cornered at Dunkirk, backs to the sea, when Hitler called off his tanks. That whole army could've been captured.

And then there was the whole invasion of Russia too late in the year, and dividing his forces into 3 commands...hard to call it fortunate for the West, but Hitler made several fatal moves.

[Raven123]

32. Not sure who cares what Kelly thinks

But if someone knows, send him there to talk. Could have spoken out a lot sooner. Hard to understand his silence. Nothing Kelly says will be believed by those in TFG’s orbit.

[Initech]

33. Adjacent to Nazism is Nazism.

And if anyone still supports Trump after all the shit he's put this country through, it means they're complicit.

[KS Toronado]

38. Love to see the above picture, with mustache

and a Kelly quote on billboards in red states.

[Mr.Bee]

39. Trump Supporters:

"Trump isn't Hitler, but then again I cut History class that semester."

[creeksneakers2]

41. What's it going to take?

For the public to wake up to the danger this man presents?

[Cha]

43. Yeah, did TSF like the way Hitler LOST and ended up KILLING himself by Dropping

a cyanide capsule & Shooting him Damn self?

[Conjuay]

45. I predict

We will see this tattoo in the near future -
Anything to own the libs!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

46. Probably dreamed of being Hitler since he was a young Nazi...

Trump then recalled, "Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of 'Mein Kampf,' and he's a Jew."

Brenner added that Davis did acknowledge that he gave Trump a book about Hitler.

"But it was 'My New Order,' Hitler's speeches, not 'Mein Kampf,'" Davis reportedly said. "I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish."

After Trump and Brenner changed topics, Trump returned to the subject and reportedly said, "If, I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."

[intrepidity]

47. You know the saying "It's a feature, not a bug"?

Yeah, that. His cult is a-ok with this.

[Wednesdays]

49. Yeah, Hitler had the loyalty of his generals

If they weren't 100% loyal, they got the noose. Just ask Erwin Rommel (he chose cyanide over a firing squad).

[LeftishBrit]

51. OMG; there are really no words

[qwlauren35]

54. That is SO SICK.

There is probably a subset of the MAGA folks who are on board with this.

[HandmaidsTaleUntold]

56. He Wants To Be A Mob Boss

And his cult likes it because they are weak. But doesn’t Trump know what happens to most mob bosses??? They are lucky if they get prison because they often don’t make it that long alive. The guy is a dunce. Just has predatory instincts.

[calimary]

57. Fucking Bastard!!!
