    After that mini we need a bloody long break. 6 weeks till we past Waitangi sounds good. Let the Tories destroy the economy with out our help.

    Mike Godwin;

    .

    Yes, it’s okay to compare Trump to Hitler. Don’t let me stop you.

    […]

    But when people draw parallels between Donald Trump’s 2024 candidacy and Hitler’s progression from fringe figure to Great Dictator, we aren’t joking. Those of us who hope to preserve our democratic institutions need to underscore the resemblance before we enter the twilight of American democracy.

    And that’s why Godwin’s Law isn’t violated — or confirmed — by the Biden reelection campaign’s criticism of Trump’s increasingly unsubtle messaging. We had the luxury of deriving humor from Hitler and Nazi comparisons when doing so was almost always hyperbole. It’s not a luxury we can afford anymore.

      The WaPo is hilarious. In a black comedy kind of way. After the collapse of the Russiagate conspiracy theory, they've had to drop their story that Trump was installed and controlled by those Russian masterminds. Now he's Hitler, according to these awesome sleuths and scholars.

      Meanwhile, the WaPo shamelessly maintains its support for the U.S.-backed Nazi-style extermination campagn being waged in Gaza and the West Bank, and continues to champion real Nazis in the Ukraine.

      No wonder hardly anyone respects the mainstream media in the United States.
