This is literally the only time anyone has said this. It’s a novel idea with no other connotations whatsoever. How could you even think that.

It wasn’t meant as a gotcha, just an observation that they didn’t learn from the Nazis, near the same holy war has been going for a really long time with a few names changing, and it’s tiresome.

Isn’t it far* older than that? Didn’t Israel commit the main genocide in the Old Testament? Religious people tell me that’s a historical document.

To me, this same holy war has been raging for millennia and I really wish we’d outgrow it.

That’s very kind of you, thanks, truly.

Welsh, Scottish, Danish, exclusively. It’s funny, because one side came here in the early 1600s and was the first person to get capital punishment in this country (tried to sell the Bronck’s Farm, was hanged ‘til nearly dead, ear cut off, then banished to New Jersey), then another was Postmaster General and Secretary of the Interior – heritage is weird. And it doesn’t always pass on, no matter what these purists think.

You don’t inherit value, you create it.

e: to the DMers/downvoters:

This guy

And this guy (my great uncle, grandpa’s brother)

Neat. I wish I could do that. I tried several years ago when I actually had some money because I saw this coming. Nobody wanted disabled people then, and less so Americans now.

People wouldn’t listen back then, when I was called hyperbolic and alarmist, and good fucking luck leaving now. People think leaving is easy – it’s not. We’re stuck in this shit show.

Can’t fix it, can’t leave. Going down with the ship. Fuck everyone who voted to kill me. I will not survive this administration. I’ll probably die within the year because, though I worked my ass off in IT since the 90s, I had to burn through my savings by being weak enough to get sick. *I already have to choose between food and medicine, so I mostly don’t eat. I’ll just stop buying medicine.

So fuck me, I deserve to die now. There’s no escape. There’s no hope.

If the whole point of the trip was to get propaganda footage showing how much Greenlanders love and welcome the US and trump administration, the trip would be a waste of time without it.

Unfortunately, fascists don’t need to be competent to be effective. In fact, ignorance plus incompetence can be very dangerous.

Hitler Was Incompetent and Lazy—and His Nazi Government Was an Absolute Clown Show

That’s cool. I’ll re-gift it, then. Thanks!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this said better. I’ll be quoting you.

Yes, but this wasn’t a natural flood: it was caused by the in-ground pool next to this basement room, apparently because of an ‘error’ made by a maintenance person the same day they learnt about the warrant.

It affected this room (you can see some moisture on the floor and staining on the nearest box) plus, crucially, the server room adjacent, in a clear attempt to destroy their digital storage. It was called out in the court documents.

This wasn’t a natural flood, and was suspiciously convenient.

Aw, you too. ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎

In their defense, trump & co were doing their absolute best to flood the media cycle with outrageous shit at the time to intentionally overshadow all of this, and the media was following him like rabid puppies.

It wasn’t that hard to miss the details of this at the time unless you were obsessively following the stories in side channels (like me), sifting through the bullshit and going down rabbit holes and reading 800 page court filings, and that could fuck up your mental health. Many people didn’t have the time or capacity for that.

This all happened at the same time as the inquiry into J6, too, which itself was an unprecedented and massive story, overshadowing much of the other treason.

That whole time period was mentally exhausting. I’m saddened and frustrated many people missed the importance of this story, but I do understand.

It was a good joke.

Hanlon’s Razor has never applied to fascists.

Literal supervillainy.

Hunter’s laptop, Hillary’s emails again, but it was mostly that Biden had some documents, too. Trump shouted that all presidents do this, and that what Biden had was worse, and his followers believed that without looking into any context (like all Biden had was some memos, copies of personal notes, etc, and that Biden immediately turned everything over and invited the feds to his home to look for more).

The scale was nowhere near the same, Biden hadn’t intentionally removed classified documents or tried to keep them from the feds, but none of that mattered. Trump saying he was entitled to the documents because everyone else did it was enough for his followers.

Sadly, it is real.

e: and in case anyone reading this doesn’t get the implication, notice where the only power outlet in this room is (the white cable leading across the ceiling and along the piping to the office printer, which is the whitish thing at the right of this photo).

It’s basically the only thing besides boxes of documents in this storage room. It was plugged in and being used, not stored. This is so much worse than the toilet photo, yet everyone I show this to hasn’t seen it.

e2: Oh, and don’t forget, this was the ‘holdout’ room, to which maintenance supposedly ‘lost’ the key the first couple of times the feds showed up, then right when they got their ‘no, really’ warrant, it was supposedly flooded by a faulty pool pump. That’s this room. Fuck, in all the insanity, I’d forgot that last bit.

That’s not even the worst of it. Several rooms full of documents were found at his property and, though everyone seems to focus on the toilet one, IMO the worst is the one of a storage room full of classified documents plus a scanner/printer.
