Let me wait a minute to let that sink in....



Now I will repeat it:

Donald Trump 'kept book of Adolf Hitler's speeches in his bedside cabinet'

crickets...and some folks want to spend their eneriges primarying democrats?

Holy fucking shit. Batman. Tell me no, you are kidding.

[Achilleaze]

1. ...and now he* himself is the role model for republican children and grandchildren

Deplorable.


* Comrade Casino, republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[Irish_Dem]

2. He is such a strange man. nt

[LeftinOH]

3. I have a trouble believing this, because...

...I don't think he ever reads. Anything. Ever. If it's more than a few lines of text -with bullet points- he isn't going to read something written by someone else, unless it's written specifically for him.

[Bleacher Creature]

4. You beat me to it!

I was typing the exact same thing.

[Orsino]

5. Yeah. A book is possibly the least dangerous thing one could hand him. n/t

[Cirque du So-What]

8. There's no indication he actually read it

Maybe he kept it there as a talisman.

[Eliot Rosewater]

10. I think he read portions, because he obviously admires Hitler and very obviously

admires Mussolini because he mimics him all the time what that stupid chin up in the air, etc'


But no, he cant read very well so who knows what he actually reads.

He does want to be Hitler, of that there is no question.

[ollie10]

11. Maybe Ivana read the speeches to Donald....

Sweet Dreams, you know....

[genxlib]

18. It's one of his horcruxes

He never read it. It is just a place to stash his soul. It is safely locked away in a vault somewhere now.

[NastyRiffraff]

24. PERFECT explanation!

It makes sense.

[no_hypocrisy]

20. Not to mention the fact that Hitler's writings are a real snore.

I have the first English translation of Mein Kampf and you really have to slog through it.

[pandr32]

6. I remember reading about that years ago

Of course, now he claims the Bible is his favorite book.

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. The SCANDAL is this is an OLD article. That we knew this and allowed him be elected anyway

[B2G]

14. This article was published after the election.

March 2017.

[Eliot Rosewater]

15. Yes and no, some of us knew about it since 2015

http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trumps-ex-wife-once-said-he-kept-a-book-of-hitlers-speeches-by-his-bed-2015-8

I used the most recent article about it, is all.

In fact, some knew since 1990

According to a 1990 Vanity Fair interview, Ivana Trump once told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that her husband, real-estate mogul Donald Trump, now a leading Republican presidential candidate, kept a book of Hitler's speeches near his bed.

[B2G]

16. "Some of us knew" made no difference.

If it had been published in 2016, it might have mattered.

But it wasn't on anyone's radar during the run up to the election. So your comment about 'letting him' be elected because of this information confuses me.

[pandr32]

25. 1990 interview of Ivana

Vanity Fair I think. It was a surprising thing to hear at the time.

[Dem_4_Life]

7. I thought this would say it is fake or a joke

[B2G]

9. This sank in 7 months ago

When the article was first published.

[demmiblue]

13. No more primary opponents evah!!!11!!!1

Lol!

[TeamPooka]

17. old news.

[Eliot Rosewater]

21. That is the point, people know this and dont care

[SummerSnow]

19. And Trump has taken Hitler's words to heart....

It is not truth that matters, but victory.-Hitler


Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.-Hitler


Humanitarianism is the expression of stupidity and cowardice.-Hitler


Strength lies not in defence but in attack.-Hitler

[Eliot Rosewater]

23. And many people knew BEFORE the election about trumps affinity to Mussolini and Adolf

I knew and many did yet the deplorable filth voted for him anyway

YET certain others non stop attacked Hillary, anyway

[rock]

22. "... primarying democrats ..."

Correct. We cannot weed out bad Democrats because they will replaced with even much worse republiCANTs!

[guillaumeb]

26. And who read it to him,

and how long did the reading take?

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. I know

can you photoshop?


"Hitler Speeches for Dummies"

[guillaumeb]

28. That could be an instant best seller.

[lapfog_1]

29. "good people on both sides"

Spencer, Bannon, Gorka, Miller...

Father was in the KKK.

Donald was charged with discrimination in renting his apartments.

Donald was quoted as saying about his casino accounting staff "What are these people (African Americans) doing here, we want Jews counting our money!"

He is a racist and white supremacist and anti-Semite.

Hitler's speeches on his nightstand? Yeah... that's the least of it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

30. He and Bannon and the Mercers are Nazis, for real, no kidding. We know this

and so do most people and most people just dont care.

Makes sense, really. Most arent Jewish, most arent black, and most have no clue about the extermination of Jewish people and the reality that these guys wanna do it again.

This time Muslims, gays, etc., will be included.

[lapfog_1]

31. etc Liberals

I fear that there may be an actual shooting civil war coming to 'Merica.

[NurseJackie]

32. "and some folks want to spend their eneriges primarying democrats?" ... I know.

The vanity and short-sightedness that got us to where we are today continues to threaten us and to make things increasingly worse.

Tell me no, you are kidding

Sadly, they're not. It's very Sarandonesque of them, isn't it. Many of them WANTED Trump to win because they believe it will bring about some sort of "revolution". They're actually CELEBRATING Trump as if it's something that will lead to Armageddon and Christ's 2nd coming.

Fuck Susan Sarandon (and all others like her.) How fortunate for them that they have the means to withstand the horrors that are about to be inflicted among the most vulnerable of us. How brave and courageous they are!

It's what Susan Sarandon wanted. Just LOOK at how giddy and animated she is! She can barely contain her excitement at the horrors that await us.
