I read the article. It was interesting but other than that nothing of note. They never even knew Adolf Hitler and are great nephews. Other than that, I find nothing about the article of note except that he likes the policies of Trump, but he also likes German Chancellor Merkel.
So glad to see he agrees with my assessment of the former President.

Changing election laws at the last minute for political gain is wrong.
Changing election laws at the last minute to protect health and safety of voters is prudent.
If you can't stop conflating these two things, you will always be wrong.

Here is some insanity:
Mitch McConnell, on Feb 13 (in part):
| Quote: | "Former President Trump's actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful dereliction of duty.
[...] "There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day.
[...] "This was an intensifying crescendo of conspiracy theories, orchestrated by an outgoing president who seemed determined to either overturn the voters' decision or else torch our institutions on the way out.
The unconscionable behavior did not end when the violence began.
[...] "He did not do his job. He didn't take steps so federal law could be faithfully executed, and order restored." |
Mitch McConnell, on Feb 25 (12 days later):
| Quote: | McConnell says he'll 'absolutely' support Trump in 2024 if he's the GOP nominee
[...] When pressed by Fox News' Bret Baier about supporting Trump if he captured the Republican nomination, McConnell offered, "The nominee of the party? Absolutely." [link] |
Screaming at you loud and clear that the GOP isn't concerned about ANYTHING than the success of GOP, and let good governance, the American people, and all else go to hell.

Absolutely true Sarge. It was illegal for the States to change voting rules outside of the legislative process. I do see that they see the writing on the wall for mail in voting though. I note that Georgia is working on passing a law that requires ID with mail-in/absentee ballots.
| Quote: | | Voters would have to provide a driver’s license number, state ID number or a copy of photo ID when requesting absentee ballots, according to Senate |
I suspect other states will follow suit. Mailing out ballots in mass is asking for voter fraud and indeed there were a number of people that got caught, were arrested, and were fined or went to jail after the last election.

Or at least enough of the nation that the rest doesn't matter. You cannot more positively reinforce someone's behavior than by electing them to the Presidency of the United States. |

One of the latest shots across the bow is the new voting act that wants to take the States ability to govern their own voting process.

That may have been their reason for doing so but they have a legislative process they are supposed to be using. I would also point out that States that allowed their voters to line up and vote did not show any "super-spreader event" impact. So if that was their reason, it seems to have not made a difference.

Agree its full on hypocrisy on full display and he may well have to answer for it at the polls. One minute he is not fit to run and the next he would support him.

Not too worry. Hashi assures us that they will not act without Republican support, needing a scapegoat in the event that their ideas don't work out as well as planned. And that would explain the fact that they have not passed the many laws many fear they will, even though it is the perfect opportunity.
However, it is only after Trump is re-elected, if he is, that we would see if, knowing his behavior is so strongly supported, he cuts any brakes he's had on himself, or allowed others to put on him. That's my fear. When he lost, knowing nothing he did could any longer harm his chances of bring re-elected, he didn't have to hold back. If that crap gets him re-elected, there would, again, be no reason to hold back. Quite the countcontrary. Give the people what they voted for.

This should officially now be known as "The Wayfriend Fallacy", namely the utterly unquestioning certitude that the side you worship cannot possibly have pretty much the exact same self-serving core motivations as the side you detest - solely on the basis that you worship it.
As for Trump in 2024? I find it hard to believe that Pub High Command would countenance that, because I think it'd schism the Republican party and hand ongoing administrative control to the Dems for the foreseeable future. Having said that, if Trump gets the nomination in 4 years' time... and wins? What would that say about the precarious state of the US?

For all the Democratic Party's faults, you cannot compare the two parties from a moral perspective. The GOP has clearly shown themselves to be completely without honor and completely without morals.
I don't know when, and I don't know how, but karma will eventually catch up with the GOP.
You might as well be comparing the behavior of Russian and American soldiers during the invasion of Germany in WWII. There might have been a few rapes committed by American soldiers against civilian women and children, but you can't compare it to the Russian atrocities when their soldiers raped every woman and child they could get their grimy hands on, before murdering them and tossing them in pigsties. You can't just say "But it was BOTH SIDES!" and not look like a massive cunt. |

Certain behaviors and even ideological patterns can run in families, strictly due to genetics.
I can't say for sure what the guy is like. For all I know, he is a decent person. However, it is interesting that he agrees with Trump's policies, and Trump has known fascistic leanings.
The man's father did fight for the US Navy against Nazi Germany, but prior to that, he tried to suck up to his uncle (Adolf Hitler) in order to get a favored position within the Nazi regime. This is in spite of the racial laws and other worrying things that were going on at the time, so clearly he didn't mind those too much or else he would have defected sooner. He only defected to the US when it was clear that he was in mortal danger because he kept trying to blackmail Adolf Hitler into giving him a high status within Nazi society (and this failed to work) by threatening to reveal embarrassing family secrets.
While I don't agree with holding sons accountable for the sins of their fathers, it is unlikely the two sons of William Patrick Hitler don't have the same tendencies that run in that dictator's family.
So what, exactly, does it mean to like Trump's policies and hate Trump's personality? I think he was drawn to Trump's extreme nationalism and populism (treating Muslims, journalists, and opposition politicians as enemies of the state; wanting to create a border wall in order to prevent the undesirable non-whites from "invading" through the southern border; encouraging cops to brutalize protesters, etc.). Trump has a lot in common with "strong man" dictators such as Mussolini and Hitler. The difference is that the US system is more robust than the systems of governance in other countries, so it was better able to contain Trump's worst actions. Otherwise we would have had a dictatorship years ago. |

Or maybe they're going in the opposite direction?

Ur - not sure what you are seeing in the photo.
Kimberly Guilfoyle is loved by Trumpists.

The odal rune is actually replacing the swastika in popularity among neo-Nazi groups. It's also worth pointing out that this version of the odal rune was explicitly used by the Nazis (the original version used in the Futhark/runic alphabet didn't have the bottom branches), so it's harder to say that it is just a coincidence or that the designer simply liked the shape of runic letters.
The stage is perfectly shaped like the SS version of the odal rune. It even has the red triangle in the back to define the bottom part of the rune.
I think either the conservative movement is getting viciously trolled by whomever designed the stage, or this is deliberate move by the higher-ups. This isn't the first time anything connected to Trump has drawn this type of controversy. Stephen Miller, the Secretary of Homeland Security, invited controversy when he released a DHS memo (that should still be on the DHS website) where he rearranged the Fourteen Words (Neo-Nazi slogan: "We must secure the existence of our race and a future for white children.") to say "We Must Secure The Border And Build The Wall To Make America Safe Again." Miller promoted neo-Nazi extremist publications such as American Renaissance on official government email. For those who aren't aware of AmRen, it was created by Jared Taylor, a white supremacist who is controversial among neo-Nazis because he likes Jews. It isn't surprising that Stephen Miller, a white nationalist Jew, would like AmRen. It says all the shit he likes to hear without all the Jew-hating that is common among neo-Nazis.

Maybe, but being First Lady in the White House is very different from being some person they invite to the RNC and who posts spicy content on Twitter.
Don Jr. is also popular among Trumpists, but I don't think he pulls the same kind of punches as his father, so to speak. Trump simply has a sort of magnetism about his persona that draws people towards him. |

Eh, Hanlon's Razor is usually sufficient in most cases.
Sure, it's possible that somebody involved in the design and layout did it deliberately, but you're edging into fringe territory (to put it mildly) if the inference we're supposed to draw is that this is a secret signal from the organiser to...what...indicate their neo-nazism?
Seems pretty unlikely, although no doubt Qanon will go crazy over it.
