No, they aren't. Naziism and communism don't share the basis of Rassenkampf, Lebensraum, heredity, and holy peasant connections with the land. In fact, they were diametrically opposed on those points. They're only "twins" in the sense that they're authoritarian forms of power that exercise exclusionary social practices to the point of mass murder.

Basically, a whole load of condescending bull **** about how Trump lacks the intelligence and ability to make the decisions necessary to maintain Obama's legacy.

B-Man Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 ‘DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT’! NYT’s Samantha Bee spin is a HALL OF FAMER ........(and it’s ‘why Trump won’) Quote NYT Politics ✔@nytpolitics Samantha Bee dedicated nearly seven minutes of “Full Frontal With Samantha Bee” to the issue of migrant children before using a crude term to describe Ivanka Trump https://nyti.ms/2J22A8b Did we already say “wow”? Because wow. QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED BY JIM TREACHER: When Is It Okay to Drop the C-Bomb on a Woman? When her dad is a POTUS from the wrong party. Note to our friends on the other side of the aisle: Sorry to indulge the cliché yet again, but this really is how you got Trump. You claim to be righteous. You claim to be above the fray. But then the minute things don’t go your way, you leap right into the mud and start slinging. Then you make all the excuses in the world for a member of your own tribe. The benefit of the doubt is for insiders only. I can’t judge Ms. Bee too harshly, though. This is a tough time for her. She got passed over for The Daily Show, and now she has to watch helplessly as a younger, #woker comedienne hosts the WHCD and gets a buzzworthy Netflix show and hogs all the press. That’s supposed to be her up there, saying awful things about women who work in the White House. She’s supposed to be America’s Trump-Hatin’ Sweetheart. So, if calling another woman a really bad word on TV is what Ms. Bee needs to do to get noticed again, that’s how it goes. I won’t call for TBS to fire her. I also won’t shed a tear if they do. Fire her? Heck, as Stephen Miller tweets, “If you’re a Trump supporter you should want her on TV every week leading into 2020.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it a lot easier to learn who the fools are if we give them both the stage and a microphone to show us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 The Television academy has imperiled our First Amendment rights and undermined a free and fair press, Television Academy Blocks Media From Tonight’s Honors Ceremony Featuring Samantha Bee...... GENTLEMEN, YOU CAN’T VIDEOTAPE IN HERE, THIS IS A TELEVISION AWARDS SHOW! ALL BETTER NOW? Samantha Bee apologizes to Ivanka Trump: ‘I crossed a line.’ I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night. It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it. It was “inappropriate and inexcusable” and entirely scripted and prerecorded, and TBS’s standards & practices division (aka, the network censors) allowed the show to air, presumably after previewing it. As Sean Davis tweets, “If the Turner non-reaction so far is any guide, Roseanne’s big mistake was putting her comments on Twitter instead of in her show’s script. The fact that a whole network reviewed, approved, promoted, and aired Bee’s scripted slur is the best protection Bee could ever buy,” adding that “The Roseanne and Samantha Bee scandals aren’t comparable. Roseanne wrote something on Twitter and her show was immediately cancelled. In the case of Samantha Bee, an entire network’s legal and editorial team knew exactly what Bee would say, approved it, and broadcast it.” So it’s very likely this check-the-box apology will be enough for her to keep her job amidst the destructive malevolence that is Time-Warner-CNN-HBO. And her own promise to the New York Times at the beginning of 2017 that “We’re facing a new reality after the election. These next four years are going to require a broad coalition of straight-up decency.” Interesting word that. Back in January, while leftists were freaking out over Trump’s “shithole” comments, Glenn wrote, “I’m amused when people who’ve spent 50 years declaring the very concept of decency repressive and outdated suddenly start with the ‘have you no decency?’ shtick. When Joseph Welch used that phrase, it was pretty much Peak Decency, or as we’re now told, a horrible regressive time of racism, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia.” Update: Samantha Bee Apologized for Giving Her Audience What It Demands. Samantha Bee Loses Sponsors Over Ivanka Trump “Feckless C*nt” Comment. AutoTrader and State Farm have dropped her. Discover is sticking with her. Meanwhile, TBS has scrubbed the episode from the Web already. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social Media is the worst thing to happen to the world. I'll go with the bubonic plague. The whataboutisms are getting tiring though. It's a last resort tactic. It would be like Hitler making his case at the Pearly Gates saying, "Well, what about Stalin?" Defending any of these vile people is fruitless. Caring what celebrities have to say politically is pathetic and gives them a sense that their opinion actually matters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
