Can you pass the salt? ;)......................................................................................................................................
Same as every other Thanksgiving. Utter chaos, shouting instructions over each other, laughter and wine and beer, then the stall of trying not to clean the dishes.
Usually between the eating we are joking with each other, telling embarrassing stories and reminiscing. There wouldn't be much a difference if we were together or not. We may or may not be eating together but we will be in contact with each other at some point.
If Donald Trump wins the November election I say we should have the biggest and best Thanksgiving ever.
Having such a momentous and uplifting event would eclipse the horrors of the Wuhan disease and give well founded optimism to the nation and hope for a better future for all the peoples of the world.
VOTE TRUMP/REPUBLICIAN AND TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK.
Literally no one told me, because I can think for myself...............
It isn't that simple, Dana. People from all over the world are competing for your opinion, and that is especially true in America. You don't live in a bubble or an empty vacuum. You are surrounded by TV coverage, internet coverage, social media, newspapers, films, books etc... All of these sources are trying to influence you and your opinion of the world and its politics.
I think for myself, and no one can force me, to believe something.........................
Nobody truly thinks for themselves because we are all influenced by our surroundings. As regards being forced to believe something then that is a stupid statement to make in the first place, because persuasion is the method used to make you believe things, not force. When you watch Trump speak to crowds, you are watching him trying to persuade those people to vote for him.
Like deporting immigrants, attacking the media, strengthening the economy, blaming the left for everything, and manufacturing a tide of ultra-nationalism and far right propaganda?
You literally do not have the faintest idea what you are talking about dear.
Like deporting illegal immigrants not legal immigrants, he is tired of the media lying, there is nothiing wrong with a strong economy, I am a centrist so I will leave you lefties and righties, to yourselves, all nationalism is, is the oposite, to globalism, Yes I do know what I am talking about. I could do this, in my sleep.
Like deporting illegal immigrants not legal immigrants
Are you actually kidding me? The Nazis only deported illegal immigrants also. It is very easy to do that WHEN YOU ARE THE GUYS IN CHARGE OF WHAT IS LEGAL AND ILLEGAL. Educate yourself, for heaven's sake:-
Under the Nazi regime, these deportations were entirely legal. The Jews had not only been stripped of their citizenship but criminalized.
So when Jews were fleeing the Nazi regime in their thousands and arriving in America illegally, you are saying you'd have deported them all back to Germany so they could be murdered? And you think you're not a Nazi? Wow.
Illegal immigrants don't have the right to be here, and you are making an appeal, to emotion. President Trump is pro Jewish and pro Christian. True fact, Jewish and Christian people, both died, in concentration, camps. Learn about D Boenhofer. I might not be spelling that right, but, cool story.
Illegal immigrants don't have the right to be here,
Which was the exact argument used by the Nazis themselves you silly woman. Do they not teach Americans history or something? What am I missing?
President Trump is pro Jewish and pro Christian.
Hitler was pro-Christian also, and he was only anti-Jewish because he blamed Jews for Communism. Essentially, the only difference between you guys and the Nazis is that the Nazis hated Jews for Communism and the alt-Reich loves Jews for capitalism. That's literally the only difference between you.
Learn about D Boenhofer.
Oh for God's sake. Start with a basic 3rd grade history lesson about fascist propaganda. Don't tell me what I need to learn when you are the one falling for a con from 75 years ago.
Leftist catchphrase #1: Call anyone a Nazi, who disagrees, with the left. Congratulations. I don't care if you think I'm a Nazi, because Yeshua, does not. Hitler was peo Catholic, not pro Christian. Catholics, are not Christians.
You are a liar. I am not on the right, and not a Nazi. I have never supported Adolf Hitler or the Nazis, I am a centrist, and you can kiss my fucking ass. Thou shalt not bear false witness.
You are a liar. I am not on the right, and not a Nazi.
I am not a liar. You are just a very confused lady because your head is full of completely erroneous rubbish. You literally don't understand the difference between somebody in the centre of socialism v capitalism and somebody on the extreme far right of the political spectrum, which is where you are. You are a centrist in the same way that Hitler was a centrist, mate. A raging far right religious nutcase who wants a Christian theocracy where things like white skin, nationalism and agreement with every word you say are considered the finest of human qualities.
I mean, are you even listening to yourself Dana? You are calling yourself a centrist, while at the same time you are spamming pro-trump hashtags and parroting political propaganda from Fox News. There's absolutely no semblance of balance or neutrality whatsoever.
I don't watch cable news, you were only respectful to me, when you thought I agreed, with the left, and as a centrist, my opinions, are on the left, and the right. It is morally wrong, to lie and say someone is a Nazi, because they disagree with you, so kiss my fucking, ass.
When someone points out that you are a Nazi, pretend that they have called everybody a Nazi instead of just you.
No. What you are supposed to do is identify what it means to be a Nazi. To me, if you round people up and put them in concentration camps for the sole purpose of killing them, then you're a Nazi.
If you just want to protect your borders and have a migration laws in place to help government perform its duties, then you are not a Nazi.
So..., if the Nazis stated that the sky was blue, anyone stating the same is a Nazi.
Translation: "Hitler deported a bunch of immigrants. I deported a bunch of immigrants. Therefore I am nothing like Hitler."
If the Nazis invented jet planes, and you use jet planes, you're a Nazi.
I produced a short list of similarities which you have very predictably ignored because they interfere with your impossibly unreasonable cultist programming. You ignored all the pertinent similarities and instead produced your own make-believe similarities. What do you think that proves Joe, other than your incredible level of stupidity?
Hitler did not deport anybody. He tried to. He put a bunch of Jews on a boat and sent them to different countries to see if anyone would take them and no one would. Are they Hitler's accomplices?
Had Israel existed, at that point in time, he could have deported them to Israel. But that was not the case so he gassed them.
Who has Trump/America gassed?
Again, the problem is that I have no idea what it is that you are talking about and you magically assume that by calling someone a Nazi is enough to get people to give you a pass. And that, my dear Burrito, is a Nazi tactic. They called Jews rats/vermin and they got people to give them a pass. I think you're the Nazi ;)
The "illegals" that are being sent back are not citizens.
You literally quoted the line, "The Jews had not only been stripped of their citizenship but criminalized", before writing that reply, so am I to conclude that you simply can't read English? If you strip somebody of their citizenship they are not a citizen. Am I really having to explain this to you, because it just seems surreal that I would have to hold anybody's hand through self explanatory phrases like "stripped of their citizenship".
If some crosses the border illegally, they are not citizens. if they are not citizens, you cannot strip them of their citizenship. OK, the ball is now in your court ;)
What do you think when you see people who actually lived through those times making these type of comparisons? How do you rationalise that to yourself? Fake news maybe? Liberal propaganda?
Where do you suppose these comparisons came from in the first place? Did they happen in a vacuum? Were they just random smear attacks from disgruntled liberals? How do you explain media stories from literally 30 years ago alleging that Trump reads Hitler speeches? And now his oration and policies are eerily similar??? What?? Are you kidding me?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe there was a time when Americans were smarter than this.
You have to define what you mean when you call someone a Nazi. When you use that word, instead of actually explaining what the problem is, you are making an emotional argument that will not resonate with people who are analytical and actually take the time to think through the issues. Calling someone a Nazi is basically a lazy argument. As if one word can actually describe all the nuances of a given issue.
No, I do not call it fake news. I do not call it liberal propaganda. I call it hyperbole.
As far as your questions.
I actually knew an actual SS German Nazi soldier. He has since passed away.
Where do these comparisons come from? Well..., they don't come from Holocaust survivors ;)
