It might even get to court. Certainly would get some air play.

And this happened in NYC. Even if the trump name was not involved, what are the odds of him being prosecuted ?

Cops aren't monolithic.

The real story and scandal is that this story is not a story and scandal!

violence. I hear he reads Hitler's speeches.

This man is dangerous. And I do not mean the idiot doing his bidding. Trump is dangerous.

that he keeps a book of Hitler's speeches on his bedside table and when he tried to deny it the person who gave the book to him confirmed it.

It was here on DU about 4-5 days ago.

One thing I never joke about is Hitler.

I hope most every one has, but I know they haven't.

Is too bad, because that's how some of his tactics and goals keep being revived.

He was a master at whipping up patriotism when Germans were looking for a political hero. Trump appeals to the right with his "Make America Great Again" which for many on the right means like in returning to the good old 1950's when whites dominated a segregated America and prayer was allowed in schools.

Which is what I think you just said.

As the political spectrum continues to careen to the right Bernie Sanders seems to be one of the few remaining real Democrats of the FDR mold.

us back to yesteryear, but people are fighting them with weaker and more "modern" tactics and strategies. Also known as losing, as your paragraphs attests to.

FDR wasn't the progressive. He was after them, they were largely killed off by 1925 or so. The "reforms" he put through were weak compared to the control that Mother Jones, Bill Haywood, others in American labor fought and died for. FDR and his ilk put through reforms that the business owners and business unions could live with. They would have been seen as caving by the folks in 1910.

Those people, the progressives, IWW and industrial unions, were torn about ownership, but they insisted that control of work had to be with the laborers.

Business, according to a "back of the envelope" calc by a government commission member in 1913 or '17 noted that "business" was spending $88 million a year on spies, thugs, buying government officials and encouraging business unions to fight working Americans and "Progressive" ideas. Put that into an inflation calculator to tell you what they are spending today, and more. lol.

The bending over, or shift in political spectrum, had already started by FDR's time. That said, today many people don't seem to be that enthused about casting aside their remotes and getting out of their lazyboys to even get those levels of participation back. Bernie is awakening that in some, so perhaps that will be enough to start something new.

Plus, I think President Sanders would touch an emotion in people they have let atrophy. That could be interesting. Whoever goes up against Evilhair better be able to do that.

Evilhair (I don't use his banking name, it just gives his ego a free boost. He doesn't have enough money to get that much respect from me), isn't a deep thinker, he has just trained himself to motivate people people to do work on the plantation that is in his mind. He really doesn't give a flying rat's ass what happens from that. As long as he runs the plantation and everyone knows it. People beating up folks, cheating, lying - he can excuse it all if they just kiss his ring.

He gathers a good number by, with no apology at all, telling people that it's ok to hate, to be xenophobic, to bully others. Like a sociopathic Dr. Phil with tv show.

I think what bothers me most is that more people won't be all that bothered by that video.

Even the ruling class understood they could lose it all if reforms weren't adopted. There seems to be little check on the rich and powerful these days. Political propaganda to keep the citizens thinking there are big differences between the two parties has worked up till now but given Sanders popularity the curtain seems to be coming down on that charade.

prior, and it appears to have worked.

The problem was American workers wanting control of their labor, instead of having to live in servitude like most workers do today.

Business painted them with that socialist/communist bs to beat them, and it, largely, worked. Business paid government and business unions to help them in their dirty work and use whatever force or words it took to put workers back under the thumb they work under today.

There was no communist threat. The threat was from people like Evilhair and his brownshirts today.

Just an aside - there are letters in print from Communists who came here to get the IWW on their side, with reports back that they could not work with them, and the workers had no interest in their "revolution". So we actually have it in writing that these things are not true.

But I would bet really good money that you weren't shown them in school, because that's not what they want you to believe. Without the teachers they couldn't be nearly as effective, btw.

Just know - you were trained to think that, by people who had an agenda.

You and I are the check on the rich and powerful, yet a whole bunch don't realize they are just thinking what the Master tells them to think.

So the Master keeps winning...

could look for that answer a long time, I expect.

They didn't do it out of generosity.

full of hungry children past the white house, or dying in the streets and factories that did it. The ruling class did everything they could to stop the real reforms, and we got what was left.

Many of these working people came from those or worse conditions. They wanted some relief, and got a little, but they quit fighting for the control. And today labor has never been weaker. Business used that Red Scare stuff pretty effectively, and their tactics and goals (like Adolf Hitler's) are in writing for people to read. People back then could be convinced to vote against their best interests just like they do today. So business convinced people who had immigrated here, escaped here, that there was some big threat, that they would want to bring with them those "communist" ideas. But many had escaped from these things, and had no wish to do that. We did have a socialist, who was jailed because he opposed the war, but hardly what we have been trained to think of as a "socialist" today. (He got 3% of the popular vote while in prison, btw).

Be careful. Some of your opponents were and are in control of your education and training, and used that position to teach you things that help others control you. A good portion of it by simply omitting things which may have influenced you in another direction. May not have even known they were doing it.

phase a report about the "disturbance" but the video, and the actual truth of the story,got lost somewhere between the copy room and Jeff Zucker's office.

This should be leading the evening news. Its happened before. History tends to repeat itself




Donald Trump: Bringing people together

We stopped Germany, but all we did here is make people take off the sheets.

Now they are more dangerous.

but Trump seems bad as Hitler.

Does anyone believe this megalomaniac will not become a tyrant if elected president, God forbid, to even those he's chatting up for votes right now? Stand in his way, question his authority, assert your own opinion and he will send in the goons, using the full weight of law enforcement if not the military. He's not running for POTUS, he wants s to be King. This is scary as hell.

our best educations in money. Not people.

I think far more deadly than Hitler ever thought about being.

He had a thug like that, too.
