Running Alt-Right Thread of Mockery and Hypocrisy
I will be the first to admit to being poor at history with my lifelong 5 second attention span. So, I am learning here. How close does this version (2024) of the GOP under Trump loosely mirror the Nazi and Hitler's rise in Germany... In a country where leaders are elected, Hitler joins a relatively small movement in Germany much like Trump and the Tea Party/GQP. The Nazi party publishes a 25-point program to transform Germany. Project 2025 is formed in the event Trump wins in November. Hitler is the Nazi Party much like Trump has overtaken the GOP. 2020 was every bit a failed coup just like the Munich Putsch. Hitler was imprisoned. Trump is seemingly guilty, but loyalists are keeping him from prosecution and imprisonment in multiple courts. After imprisonment, Hitler re-establishes himself in control, much like Trump has done after numerous party losses since 2018 (Senate, Presidency, House). Hitler had the Great Depression to help create fear and anger. Germany's economic situation is far worse than the reality of America. But, Americans definition of destitute is rather unrealistic. We are largely spoiled in American excesses, sometimes even the poorest of us. It's relative. We have seen American corporations go to extreme lengths these last four years to raise consumer prices without the costs of production to justify it. Exploding profits. American capitalism seemingly concentrating wealth for the 1%. Have they charged enough and taken enough wealth to make people feel "poor" and angry? Hitler lost before he ever ascended to power. Trump did lose his last election, though he won previously. When Hitler lost, the Nazi party became the largest party in Germany. Are hard right GOP the largest block of voters, who vote together and all the same, in America? Seemingly they shouldn't be but the rest don't always show up to the polls. Democrats are split with parts of the party seeing Biden and friends as too centralist. Independents are not a large voting block. Fire Decree suspends civil liberties. Trump wants to be "dictator for a day". I am not sure anybody is confident where police forces and the military stands on the topic of Trump and forceful takeover. Hitler purges leadership he deems not loyal, members who are deemed part of establishment or anti-Nazi. Trump talks of retribution and clearing non-GOP loyalists from all branches of US Government. Taking retribution on those who "wronged" him. Hitler energized crowd but never was ultimately the architect. Same for Trump. Several factors exist in both cases: heavy, heavy propaganda were employed by both, political instability (hyper partisanship in America, shutting down the govt leg. by the Republican House the last two years and GOP donors in the first two years), exploiting nationalist sentiments, etc. Is there enough economic hardship for the middle class to flip the switch for Trump (without realizing the consequences)? Or, have the GQP laid enough groundwork (with the spineless Democrats watching on) for overtaking America regardless of outcome? Like Mussolini showed Hitler and the Nazis, take over the country first and then justify it later.

The Supremes
I was under the impression gifts were a tax problem for the giver, not the recipient. Unless it is possible to prove the gifts were income for Thomas, as payment for his role as sc judge(clear but hard to prove). I do believe the irs is digging into crow, assuming with this in mind along with the yacht use. But, the irs will have to prove crow has exceeded his lifetime gift allowance of like 18 million to argue tax is owed. Or, that he failed to report it in the first place which may be nothing more than a slap on the hand for not filing paperwork. Am I mistaken here? https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/frequently-asked-questions-on-gift-taxes

It has indeed been a tough job search for mine as well. Finished nursing school with all A's except one B. 2 years' experience as a CNA, working while in nursing school, with multiple peer awards. Everybody around you, "There is a nursing shortage. You will have your pick." Can't even get in the door at the hospitals she targeted. One hiring manager mentioned most hospitals are hiring half the new nurses when compared to previous years. Seems they need nurses but are unwilling to take on the burden of training new nurses. Even worse, she has to watch some of her lesser performing, fellow graduates get the jobs she wanted all along. The jobs she didn't even get in the door to interview. Maybe the resume sucked. Maybe she interviews poorly. Hard to say. Hiring is an imperfect process. February and March were long months. Final capstone rotation, current nurses working with her wondering aloud why she isn't going to work there after graduation. Some fellow graduates who will work there are lazy and entitled, much to the chagrin of current staff. She applied. Never even got an interview. Held her, let her cry. Build her up. I had to table the no nonsense side of me, the side she was probably expecting to hear from as I had made that mistake previously. You want to make them feel better with "life isn't fair. don't take it personally. blah. blah." but sometimes you just have to listen and let it hurt. Honestly, it hurt me too. I wanted this for her. She hasn't caught many breaks over the last few years, through no fault of her own. People are always taking advantage of her, then tossing her aside. Too often, she doesn't feel valued, and I worry where that could lead. But, she is resilient and strong. At the end of the day, she has a job that is acceptable. It will pay her more than most new graduates. The recruiter was wonderful, gave her support and affirmation. She even claimed to have fought to get her an extra signing bonus. She did settle a bit, but not completely. She will learn all the skills needed to transfer to the department she wants in the future. Signed for her first apartment. Bought the furniture. All while hobbling on a new ACL, after having ACL surgery this month due to soccer injury.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

I was thinking about this today, sitting in a traditional Greek restaurant. They had Fox news on their one TV. I recalled the hotel also had Fox. Then, I try to remember a public place with the news on that wasn't playing Fox. I still haven't come up one.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
