I liked how they introduced her, like "her mother died in an insane asylum thinking she was Queen Victoria" and my thought was, I like where I think this is going. I was not disappointed.

Edit: change of heart

Too late, but good: if you're done, then I'm done. I'm tired of this.

Be civil to me, and I will be civil in return. Be nice to me, and I will be nice in return. Be an asshole to me, and I will be ten times the asshole in return.

Is this some kind of decimal take on wiccanism?

Unfunny Eric's Tenfold Law of being an asshole?

At least he identified the one thing he's good at.

Yeah, except that "asshole" doesn't quite do him justice.

Really? I think it's a slightly grander title than his insipidness deserves.

Dunno what else to call him, but asshole just isn't quite it.

Are these supposed to be insults? Because it really feels a lot more like handjobs.

It's us trying to wring at least some amusement out of your presence. Real insults directed at you personally cost extra and in your case may require a considerable waiting period.

Here. Best I'm willing to do for you. Some schmuck left this laying around.

This forum aside, have you really been unable to find essays or news articles that meaningfully compare Trump's rhetoric and policy proposals to Hitler?

You mean when I'm not experiencing massive "butthurt"?

I've found plenty of people trying to draw comparisons between Trump and Hitler. There's also about eight-years-worth of people who tried to convince the world that Obama was like Hitler.

None of it is or ever has been the least bit convincing. The only people who subscribe to this kind of stuff are wingbats, because wingbats don't tend to be critical thinkers.

And honestly: what's the fucking point? We don't have laws that say you can't be President if you remind people of Hitler. Congratulations, you think the President is a Nazi. That attitude doesn't do you the least bit of good - unless, of course, your goal is to be laughed out of every conversation you have that isn't in an echo chamber.

HUH, FUNNY STORY.

QuoteAuthor Andrea Pitzer, who is currently writing a book on Nazi concentration camps, points out Trump's proposed list recalls a Nazi Germany-era policy by which the Nazi Institute for Research on the Jewish Question kept files on crimes committed by Jews.

This dude is just a 20th century historian, so what does he know?

QuoteIf you look at the language the Trump team has been using about Islamic extremist jihadis, it is exactly the same: They are an existential threat to America. They will defeat, dominate, and destroy America. That is a very extreme kind of language and a very disturbing echo.

I guess I COULD go on, but the getting laughed at is just too much to bear.
