Query:

JD Vance called Trump "America's Hitler"

Now that Vance is Trump's VP candidate, does that make Vance "America's Himmler"?

Just asking for a country that fought and defeated Hitler and Himmler.

Elon Musk has pledged to donate $200m to #Trump's campaign.

And some of y'all still got accounts on that site.

Think.

I just learned that Trump's VP pick once called him America's Hitler and without further context I can't really tell if that was meant as criticism or praise

Humans are a Migrant Species

Modern humans evolved in Africa over 250,000 years ago. For the greater part of that time, 200,000 years, that was where they remained. Then they started to migrate out of the continent with some movement back and forth over that time span. Now new research has examined how ancient humans interacted with each other to end up with one dominant species - homo sapiens.

Muhammed, who was 'like a one-year-old', had Downs syndrome. He didn’t speak. He was separated from his family after an Israeli dog mauled him. He finally spoke in fear screaming “enough my dear!”

The Israeli soldiers forced his family to leave at gun point, claiming they would take care of Muhammad. They lied. A week later Muhammad’s family found his decomposed body.😓

#AileenCannon dismissed the #indictment on the grounds that #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith was improperly appointed.

Cannon’s ruling is a remarkable win for Trump, whose lawyers have thrown longshot argument after longshot argument to dismiss the case. Other courts have rejected similar arguments to the one that he made in Florida about Smith’s unlawful appointment.

On July 15, 1996, Amiga owner Escom went bankrupt, not even 15 months after acquiring Commodore International. Was the #Amiga cursed? Was #commodore ? Or was something else going on at Escom? In this blog post, we found out. #retrocomputing #retropc https://dfarq.homeip.net/reasons-for-escoms-bankruptcy/

RT by @JanAlbrecht: Paul Pelosi was almost assassinated, and Trump mocked him.

Trump was almost assassinated, and Democrats are condemning the attack.

That's the difference between the two parties.

#TimothySnyder : Political Violence: Reflections from the 1920s and 1930s

"Nothing in recent American political life resembles Trump’s call for “Second-Amendment people” to kill Hillary Clinton, his mockery of Paul Pelosi after an attempted murder, his belittling of Gretchen Whitmer after a kidnapping attempt, the stochastic violence he directs against critics to intimidate them and against his fellow Republicans to keep them in line..."

We don't yet know shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks' motivation, but it is truly fascinating to watch the party running on the platform of violently rounding up immigrants, praising the genocide in Palestine, and celebrating the SCOTUS ruling expanding Presidential immunity to include killing a political opponent as an official act, suddenly clutch pearls at political violence and feign outrage at how we got here. smh
