Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!

Such a petty man.

One of the top comments tagged somebody in a way that accused them of being him but the message has since been deleted. Probably a tagging fail.

What an absolute fucking cretin.

I'm not sure what you're basing that on. Rockets are indeed difficult, and the North Koreans have become good at them through sustained development effort spanning decades.

found this on how NK may obtained new rockets

Powerful words from Harry Leslie Smith. I so, so hope he's wrong.

Antisemitism was a peripheral interest to Hitler right up until about
1943/44.

not sure thats true...

It's categorically false. By 1938, there were 10,000 Jewish people in Dachau.

I don't have time to reply to this properly right now, but all of it is largely untrue, especially the strange idea about anti-semitism. Look up the Reichstagsbrand, Nuremberg Race Laws, Kristallnacht, etc. It was a constant, central, and fundamental 'theme' of what the Nazis did.

also: moses.

You need to go back to school, mate.

I think your argument is that if Hitler was an evil genius followed by naive sheep then any analogy to Trump would not be so relevant, but if Hitler was a bumbling idiot helped forward by sinister and able henchmen, then the relevance to today's USA becomes much more acute.

I lean towards the latter interpretation myself, which makes today's wave of right wing populism seem that much more scary.

Not sure if this has been posted yet. It's worth watching but does contain quite a few disturbing images.

I'm in NY at the moment and last night Trump arrived for a visit. His motorcade was literally over a mile long - we watched it drive up FDR Drive from over the water in Brooklyn. Included police boat escorts on the river, helicopters and even more police on the bridges. Crazy.

every one of those nazi cunts wants shooting in the fucking kneecaps.
