And there was much rejoicing. Yay.
And the peasants rejoice! Serfs up!
A more apt metaphor: The road apple does not fall far from the horse’s ass.
Things I don’t believe:
-
The Claimant has read the DNC platform,
-
The Claimant has read the Nazi Party platform,
-
The Claimant has performed any comparative analysis.
I know there have been a number of DNC platforms, and that there will be a new one in 2020. I’m curious about whether there were enough voting years for the Nazi Party to have had more than one platform. I’m not going to check on it now, but I’m curious.
When I wrote this, I was proud of our President. Significant Lies of Sixteen per Day, kept up for two whole months must be some sort of record. Rasputin, King John, Callias the Evil — none of them ever did that. Idi Amin, Richard Nixon, Saddam Hussein — none of them came close.
But now I see that Trump can lie three times in a single tweet:
Trump’s comments about California’s fires are ignorant anti-California propaganda to appeal to his moronic base.
So — Does the Fact Checker consider that single tweet to be three separate lies? If so, I worry that Trumpo may be inflating his stats improperly. Shheeesh. Closest he comes to Greatest-Ever is World’s Greatest Liar, and he even has to cheat to do that! :smack:
Steve, you’re my hero! You should copyright this beauty.
“When the facts are on your side, argue the facts …”
Speaking of facts, Politifact reviewed the claim that the Democratic platform echos the Nazi platform and rated it “Pants On Fire”.
No, the Nazi platform did not echo the Democratic platform, as Donald Trump Jr. said
It’s certainly interesting that Charles Lindbergh and Henry Ford both got medals from the Nazis. What party did both of them belong to, again? And the German-American Bund was pushing for Wendell Wilkie to win in 1940. Just sayin’.
I know it’s stretching the point to call the Nationalist Socialist party fascist, but the whole point of the bundle of sticks was that it included the right as well as the left.
‘My Life and Work’ and ‘Today and Tomorrow’ were just as influential as ‘The Passing of the Great Race’ in producing the Nazi doctrine. But Ford was way too wrapped up in anti-Semitism to have a real Facist beliefs.
Ford was just not that politically sophisticated to get past a pure hate of the new deal. That said he was sympathetic to the Nazi cause…which is bad enough.
AFAIK, not, in the modern sense. There’s a clip somewhere of a speech by Hitler in one of the 1932 elections, in which he refers to other parties’ jibes that he offers no detailed plans or manifesto, and more or less glories in it. As the 20s and 30s wore on (many elections, national and local), the whole focus of the party was increasingly on the Führerprinzip and on him and his magical qualities to solve all the country’s problems and deal with all of its enemies, in the most general terms.
It is indeed a spectacular achievement. And when you think that these are just the public lies we hear about - there could be even more in private!
Imagine:
“Good moring honey” (It’s not!)
“I need a little sugar in my coffee today” (You do not!)
“With today’s Pressed Briefings it’s gonna be a big day for the best president in the world” (what? No! No! No!)
