How the Nazis took over Germany with a minority of 37% share in government, ultimately causing 75+ million deaths, throughout the world.

History seems to be repeating itself.

Governor Pritzker update: How about some truth about what's going on in Illinois. Trump is lying about everything, trying to work out a way to claim "insurrection" so he can send the military into all Democratic led states. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slr3...

So Trump gets his news from movies now. That apparently is one of his sources for calling Democratic led cities War-torn. Someday soon Republicans are going to have to admit Trump is declining fast. Having a crazy man at the helm isn't a good look for America.

We've never seen so many Republican suck-ups as we have in the government these days? It's not as if they believe what they're saying, they just know if they don't voice their loyalty at every opportunity, they'll be turned over to Pam for discipline.

Trump’s approval rating fell after his speech to the nation’s top military officials. In his remarks, he claimed the US faces a war from within and the military use cities as training grounds. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-9-...

Why has the media become so vulnerable to Trump, and what can we do about it?

Even after Disney's reversal on Jimmy Kimmel, the vulnerability remains — unless we change the rules. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-has-th...

General John Kelly told us what Donald Trump said behind closed doors:

“I need the kind of generals that Hitler had.”

Maya Angelou once said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

A Hollow Man and His Army of Mirrors

Trump doesn’t lead the military—he feeds on it.
