The TV titans couldn't be happier. The coverage of tRump will only go up; hard to believe it's possible, but it will. A hurricane can hit Hawaii or Fukushima or a volcano can erupt on Iceland and we'll be too busy to pay any attention while the idiot box keeps spewing tRump 24-7. Oh wait, that's already happening. Well it will still somehow get worse. Much much worse. How long until it's OK to shoot at cars with Hillary bumper stickers? A lot of comments about this squawking vulgar yam being like Hitler, but truth be told, the Donald has tapped into a core of people that are pure Americana. They've always been with us and doubt they'll go away anytime soon.

One of the funniest Hitler spoofs of recent years was NOT the 2,873rd mistranslation of the ending scene from "Der Untergang" with Bruno Ganz.

Rather it was the re-dubbing of this famous Hitler speech (the comedian doing it it Bavarian, and not Austrian, but the southern tones come through all the same). The guy's timing is impeccable, even if the English translation leaves a lot to be desired. The "process" in the translation is really "Prozess," or "court action (in this case, lawsuit)" in English. Correctly translated, "Hitler" is saying he will bring a lawsuit, not "lead a process."

It's still pretty funny, and if your German is any good, you'll laugh your ass off. Someone needs to do this with (to) Trump, and el rápido, too.



By the way, in case anyone doubted that the Germans had gained a sense of humor, check out this one (with a fairly good translation) from the 2004 election--Johannes Schlüter, the &quot George W) Bush Pilot:"

stupid and ill informed? How do you counter a multi million dollar propaganda machine that is capable of convincing a certain percertentage of the population that the alternate reality they live in is really true?

Not a rhetorical question!

She doesn't succumb to spending her time answering their stupid, baseless charges. She states the facts (including those about Trump). She has a good platform.

We can give money, make phone calls, write letters to the editor, knock on doors.

This is as serious as it was in 1929 in Germany!

A local Democrat wrote an op-ed which told the story of Mussolini's life. It sounds very similar to Trump's biography, characteristics and personality.
