Correct, and exactly what I was referring to when talking about ICE.

As for the exact history, the original SS were nothing but a bunch of untrained thugs too. Hitler has just grown distrustful of the SA and wanted his bodyguard to be loyal to him alone instead of the party. This is also what ultimately led to the night of the long knives and the execution of Ernst Röhm. It wasn’t until Himmler took control of the SS in 1929, and with the institution of military training in 1934, that they slowly formed into an actual military organization with properly trained soldiers.

Sure, but since the SA preceded the SS I think my point still holds. You are more historically accurate though :-)

The parallels with the SS are striking. In more than one way.

This is another great example of “a lie has already made it to the other side of the world before the truth has finished putting on its shoes”.

By academic standards this study was lightning quick, and yet it’s like three months behind the original lie by those two fraudsters.

2 grand isn’t even that much in the grand scheme of things. A new Macbook starts at over 2 grand these days…

Sounds like an interesting read, got a link to said post?

I am partially convinced he started the war with Venezuela specifically because he felt slighted by her winning the prize. Just so he can be petty and deny her the reason she was awarded the prize in the first place.

Often transparently so. I remember the whole “toy bus” thing he pulled at one point during an interview.

Seriously, he’d look so much less like a clown if he dropped the bronzer habit and horrendous comb-over that I am certain he does this on purpose to deflect criticism for his actions by drawing all the attention to how he looks. It’s like a diversion tactic, and sadly it’s working.

This is getting dangerously close to no longer being satire. I am still appalled we got here within a year and I shudder to think where things go from here.

You jest, but I am absolutely certain something of equal ridiculousness will be proposed.

I am fully anticipating Danielle to throw some kind of media tantrum over this that somehow makes the UCP look even worse than they already do. Absolute joke of a provincial leadership that has no policies other than what lobbyists paid most for and reactionary BS they imported from the US culture war.

Thanks for sharing that story. This is the kind of stuff that makes me miss the old internet (personal stories about interesting stuff, told in blog format without any kind of social media hype-train angle) and gives me a great appreciation for the kind of nerdy shenanigans engineers used to do.

Always upvote RATM. If only people actually woke up when they first started yelling at us to Wake Up, we could’ve avoided the current mess.

Holy shit this is hard to read, what a grotesque dystopia the US has become.
I am at a loss for words to describe just how completely fucked this situation is.
