And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately: My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes. I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris. The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President. They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

They just kill in different ways. First one being elimination of health care and they will get something. It's disgusting my country can't feed hungry kids but can do all the other stuff to help the 1%.
The chances are way better than 50-50 we will be shooting fast and furious soon and the call like the last time that we have to unite to support the prez and the country.
Ran across several Trumpers when I was in your neighborhood. I did not and will not associate with these people anywhere unless absolutely necessary. It's a racist agenda they support. I wasn't so proud of my country before and certainly not now.
Oh, just one objection. I am not sure where the other guy's neighborhood is, but I suspect that in my neighborhood, the deepest Hollywood Hills, you would have to engage in an expedition like Dr. Livingstone's to find "several Trumpers."
All the best to you this Easter, and I hope to see you commenting again here in the future.
When you are endorsed by white supremacist groups and people the likes of David Duke and when the result as an example loss of health care results in death don't think it a stretch to draw that correlation to Germany of that time.
That horrid bastard Steve King of Iowa recently was applauded by Duke. The county I grew up in went 75/25 for him and Trump. I want little to do with that area or those people at this time.
Ajijic was found and populated by ex-military from Texas.
This food can be sooooo damn good and I never lie.
I do think that there are some substantial historical differences between the US today and Germany after World War I, however. The devastation to both the physical and psychological state of Germany was far greater than anything that has happened to the US, and the economic collapse and hyperinflation of the early 1920's destroyed the collective wealth of the entire German middle class. Right wing economics and political cant have damaged the United States a great deal in the last few decades, but we are still a long way away from that kind of disaster. I think it is also important to remember that, from the period before World War I, political parties on both ends of the spectrum had made considerable effort to assemble large bands of militant thugs, creating an explosive situation far out of proportion to anything in this country. Yes, we have a bunch of jackasses running around cosplaying in the woods and pretending they are militias, but they are as nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of armed men in the SA. So there are differences, and significant ones. Still, if history never exactly repeats itself, it sort of does, and use of modern propaganda and foreign subversion has led Trump to have a greater percentage of support among the voters than Hitler ever had. And as I said above, there is that matter of the 4500 nuclear weapons. Best to keep a close eye on them, however short they may fall of being modern day Hitlers.
How does Trump compare to Mussolini?
People several of them I link to I trust and are go to's for the "rest of the story". I like what Bad Tux wrote here and his stuff always as yours for that matter.

And the there's the nukes. I hate these bastards I really do. Surprised they haven't pulled out the neutron bomb.
