No doubt.

I'm concerned instead about their ruling on whether Trump can be tried for things he did while president. If they rule in his favor, that'll shut down at least one, possibly several, of Trump's ongoing criminal trials.

Yeah, they'll probably do that too. It's a completely crooked, ultra right wing institution so I don't have much hope that they're going to make rulings that could benefit their political opponents.

There are no words to say fuck the Republican party enough.

In other news, Trump claims he's never read Mein Kampf. I believe this; he's never read anything.

Some people don't need to read Hitler to think like him.

It also doesn't mean he wasn't given the Cliff Notes by Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller.

I thought Ivana's allegation was that he had a book of Hitler's speeches by his bed. I'd imagine he would stay away from the turgid, long-winded autobiography Mein Kampf but a book of speeches? Analyzing them for propagandist influences? I could see that.

Trump was into Hitler way before it was cool. In fact some people say that it was Trump who actually made Hitler popular again.

According to many DNC types that was Bernie

I can't get enough of this Nikki Haley story. A rising presidential hopeful at a town hall. Someone asks about slavery and the Civil War. She somehow can't coherently give the obvious, "Yes, that was the cause. Such a dark time for our country." I guess she choked on a stack of waffles "Guh, states rights- um how the government er" in fear that she was going to lose the deep klan heritage vote?

Then when everyone wakes up to the news that she shit the bed on a fish in a barrel American civics question she says "They sent a democratic plant in to trip me up!". Classic DNC coup: "What's your take on slavery?".

Just give it another generation or so of book bannings and they'll start denying it ever happened a la the Holocaust.

It's completely insane. She can't even use the 'brain fart' excuse because the guy asked a follow-up question about why she didn't say 'slavery' and she doubled-down on her KKK-friendly answer.
