American troops in more danger from Afghans or Russians?

How do you think trump is helping the soviet union (russia) get revenge on us for Afghanistan?

The wall, and the old soviet union, fell while I was serving in the Navy. We had a saying..."It's only halftime."

Just featured on Brian Williams I was looking for this

Thanks a lot. Everybody's been saying nothing is getting done. How wrong they have been.

Closely parallels what the EPA is doing right here under trump and pruitt.

They are trying to kill the planet. I don't think the planet will like it.

He (arpaio) did nothing wrong, he was just doing his job.

Same excuse that the nazi war criminals used at Nuremberg. I'm sure arpaio thinks it is his job to defy the courts, just like trump.

trump's call for national unity nothing but nazi propaganda

Somewhere in the papers of Joseph Goebbels, I guarantee you will find several examples of "the call for national unity," shot through with code-words and references that signal support for the white nationalist nazi agenda, just like trump's remarks and written obviously by the POS team of miller and gorka.

A special class
Unmatched in human history
Achieved total immortality
Unity by following the heroic example
When we open our hearts to patriotism, all else is unimportant*
Love for our nation demands loyalty
Renewing the sacred bonds of love and loyalty that bind us together

Calls for unifying the nation through the agency of religion and the military are familiar themes of authoritarian rule. These are some of the exact phrases that Hitler used in speeches written for him by Goebbels. In Germany, people got so sick of it that they decided not to watch, and look what happened.

*A special word about patriotism -- "Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons." --Bertrand Russell

I think we should keep watching.

I thought trump was stupid

"I'm someone who believes in more monuments..."

WTF??!! pence will probably build a monument to the Crusades.

An interesting example of trump and his administration "supporting" the American economy

Why is trump so anti-NAFTA, or anti all worldwide trade pacts, treaties, etc.? I guess it depends on how those agreements affect Russia financially.

Like the housing market doesn't have enough problems.

Political Promises of the NSDAP, circa 1930

A political party that started with less than 60 members, Adolf Hitler being the 55th. Hitler was a German government intelligence operative in 1919, sent to investigate this upstart and failing radical-right party. Instead, he became enamored with their "outlaw everything but us" philosophy and soon replaced the party leader, a German nationalist by the name of Anton Drexler, also the party's founder. Under Hitler the party expanded from 55 members in 1920 to 8.5 million in 1944.

Hitler was a pioneer in campaigning for office, effectively using the relatively new technologies of radio and air travel.

These are the promises of the party:

Work for the unemployed
Prosperity for failed business
Profits for industry
Expansion of the military
Social harmony
End of class distinction
Restoration of national glory
Bringing order out of chaos
Unity for all
Make the nation strong again
End war reparation payments to allies
Tear up the Treaty of Versailles
Stamp out corruption
Keep Marxism down
Deal harshly with Jews and minorities

Hitler constantly made vague promises while avoiding details, instead repeating simple catch phrases over and over.

Does any of this sound familiar to you? Do you see any modern day parallels between Hitler's plan and Trump's?

Everything trump does is exactly what the Nazis did under Hitler, just slightly modified for today. Trump is FOLLOWING EXACTLY the path that Hitler and the Nazis took to gain power in Germany.

By the way, Hitler's management method was to be the one sole deciding voice, the absolute ruler -- EVERYONE had to report to him.

Go read for yourself how Hitler and the Nazis gained political power. You can see clearly that Trump is simply a clone of Hitler, following a successful program of political terror created by a person Trump surely sees as a "winner."
