This seems very appropriate.

1. I Think That The Repugs Are Quickly Coming To The Conclusion...

that for the sake of the Party that they have to mobilize in Congress to take Trump out of office. They need to send their elders into the WH and force Trump into stepping down or begin impeachment proceedings. Trump is destroying this country and by so doing is destroying the Repug Party. My only problem with this is that Pence is no better than Trump.

3. I wish you were right. But they'Re compromised by russian

Mobster money, too.

4. I see zero signs of that happening. n/t

11. Wait, what?

There is literally no evidence at all to support this thought.

17. I wish. But Trump seems to have tons of Kompromat on them.

Likely they took piles of Putin's cash, and now that itself becomes Kompromat.

20. Utter horse hockey or wishful thinking. nt.

2. Unfortunately, many

of them are going to take the (Russian) money, and run. Retire while the mess is getting even worse. The Orange Menace has systematically destroyed this country in one short year. The gop are also to blame. They wanted someone who would "sign anything we put in front of him" as McConnell stated. Thanks gop, you are every bit as much to blame for the devastation as the tRump family and their enablers are. Putin must be so proud of the mess he has helped create. Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Orange Mistake is golfing, at taxpayer expense, while the USA is disintegrating.

8. Has not destroyed. No binary thinking, please. Mango Mussolini has damaged the country. . . nt

10. Trump is a symptom

A healthy democracy would not have elected Trump. If elected, a healthy democracy would have removed him from office.

Trump is just the boil that erupts from a infection within.

12. T H I S

been saying this for a LONG time now - it was why I said he was a serious threat to win their nomination when he came down that escalator - he is the very embodiment of the republican party.

5. Wow! I really thought that was a comment on Trump 'til I got to the end.

I do believe the our democracy is under serious threat.

6. I had the same reaction.

7. Fortunately a difference is that Hitler was intelligent, strategic, and driven by a vision.

Trump is a dotard, reactive, and driven only by self-gratification.

Trump is not a leader.

13. I have been watching a lot of American Heroes Channel

which has almost half it programming being documentaries of Germany in the leadup to and during WWII.

Two things have stuck me:

1) As this thread highlights, how eerily similar where we are today are to then, including the decade leading up to WWII.

2) Sadly, and bizarrely, the only hope that, at present, while Hitler and the Nazis where extraordinarily professional, focused and efficient, the Rs generally, and 45 specifically are mostly just half arsed buffoons bounding from one moment of idiocy to the next

NOW, the problem is that our country remains stupid as fuck - their 1/3 completely brainwashed and the "middle" third in PTSD that enables republican fuck wittery. So, I don't see how we pull out of it. But, as of now, we have not crossed the point of no return.

19. Bravo to you, sir/madam - watching any T.V. channel! You've taken one for the rest of us!

But your analysis that some large percentage is as stupid-as-fuck is within a P-value of 0.05. The other fact is that most of the rest is just ignorant and want to be that way "Get out of the way of the tube - their's a game on!: or "Get your own T.V. if you want to watch something different."

So we all sulk to our own rooms and offices and hangouts and bars and latte-shoppes and commiserate with others just like us.

OK, so I'm addicted to DU. What's that to you?

15. It's appropriate because it's a modern translation of someone else's decades-old recollection.

16. Thanks for the info. I didnt think to check Snopes.

18. A word of caution regarding any comparison of Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler

I strongly suggest that we all refrain from such hyperbole. Any casual examination of the facts tells us that Donald Trump is no Adolph Hitler.

While both are believed to have many personalty traits in common, such as Narcissistic personality disorder, Paranoia, and antisocial personality disorder, Hitler was, apparently, quite A focused and intelligent individual who actually served in the Military and wasn't a draft-dodging Chicken Hawk.

21. That is eerie!

I thought for sure it was recent.
