Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

He sleeps with My New Order by Hitler next to his bed. Wants to be a dictator on day 1. Sees good people at a Nazi march. Wants generals like Hitler’s. By George he just may be a Nazi. - Edited

Didn't Hitler's generals try to assassinate Hitler?

[–] kernelle@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Per the book, [former chief of staff] Kelly explained to Trump that German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the president is said to have responded.

....I'm not used to hearing the word "totally" in an unironic and non-sarcastic context.

I can only read this guy's name in Chris Barrie's voice. God damn it Red Dwarf

Even Hitler tried to assassinate Hitler

His success is his greatest achievement

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hitler wasn’t all bad, he did kill Hitler.

Shame he waited until the end, instead of doing it at the start though.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

I really wish Fascists would just follow their leader in a "We all know where this is going, let's just skip to the end." sense

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

After they started losing I believe they did.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

The only good thing they did, well tried to do.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Yes, pretty sure it may have been multiple times. Rommel was implicated in one of the plots and was why he was forced to commit suicide.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, but you have to remember Trump's a "Very Stable Genius"

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He sleeps with Mein Kampf next to his bed.

Not Mein Kampf, but rather My New Order, which is a collection of Hitler's speeches. Trump is a fan of Hitler's propaganda and rhetoric specifically.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Does he actually read though? Dude is weird, I guess, maybe its like some kind of security blanket; we gotta love the most racist guy we can find even though he lost his wars and shot himself in the head.

Never did I suspect this Stephen Lynch song to not feel completely outlandish.

But her emails, I mean but his son's laptop, I mean....
