    The lines between Hitler and Trump are becoming less and less blurred

      I think you mean more blurred, not less.

      A less blurred line would be more distinct, providing a stronger, more obvious separation between the two.

      A more blurred line is fuzzier, making it more difficult to tell where one ends and the other starts.

      I get what you’re saying from the context, but the way you phrases it makes it sound like it’s becoming more clearly defined that Trump is not Hitler. Generally, more “blurring of the lines” equates to a thing becoming less clearly distinguishable from another thing.

        If one circle is blurry, it can look like a Venn diagram.

        As it gets more focused, it looks like the Venn just overlaps more than it did originally.

        Then one day, everyone’s like “wait a minute, it’s been a single blurry circle the whole time” and everyone can see it.

        It’s not common usage now, but has before. So maybe they switched it up on accident, but if it was intentuonal then it wasn’t necessarily wrong. They just meant as the differences get more defined, we realize they aren’t really differences.

      It’s very easy to tell them apart.

      One dresses like an American clown. The other had good uniforms.

      But yeah, both suck.

      Much like Argentina was a safe haven for Nazi’s, Trump is making Venezuela a safe haven for him and his mob.

    If he’s the president of Venezuela then let’s open up the border to them. Let them come in they’re American now.

      This is actually a good argument .

      The president of the USA can not be head of state of a different country. So they are either Americans or Donald trump accidentally abdicated the presidency.

    When this era of terror is over, I hope we have Nuremberg style trials for all these wastes of humans. From the white house to the lawmakers who sat idly by and let this country falter, to the ice agents “just following orders”. And I hope we dismantle everything trump. No courts. No mercy. Globally. Cancel every contract they have given themselves and their friends. Corrupt judges out. End this Christian fascism. Every Trump aligned son of a bitch and bitch delta with

      You are dreaming. USA did this TWICE. There is no turning back from this. The People of the USA seems to forget a lot in 4 years. So who will the next trump be, once the egg prices goes up again? USA will never be trusted again. They are in catagory with Russia and china.

      There had to be a World War for Nuremberg to happen. What my fear is instead of World War there will be a World Civil war.

    He’s spiraling into a singularity of narcissistic terror over [Jeffrey] Epstein, and decompensating with performative dictatoring

      I’m not convinced he cares that much about Epstein. As far as not liking anything that makes him look bad, sure. But he’s sending out armed thugs to murder Americans and getting away with it. Why should he care about being outed as a pedophile?

        It’s the only thing that actually threatens his base of support.

        Epstein files is the only thing that shuts the chuds up. They’re cheering about Venezuela and getting off to ICE murders. But they, for whatever reason, only draw the line at pedophilic elitism.

          I don’t think it would shut them up. A few would be peeled off, sure, but in the end they’d just make excuses for it like they always do. They draw the line when it’s not the Dear Leader they worship that’s the subject.

            Well, no it won’t change the true believers minds outright. That is true. But I do know the biggest divisions we’ve seen in public with the GOP has been over the epstein files.

            Anecdotally it’s the only topic the chuds I know don’t want to discuss, be aware of, or have to do the work to justify.

            So if anything it thins their ranks a bit, which is absolutely a worthwhile end. No other wedge issue has been as effective.

              I’ll take anything at all that creates even the tiniest bit of discord among them at this point. I just think we should temper our expectations of how much good it would actually do.

        Of course he doesn’t care. But his base does care about Epstein and he knows he (for now still) needs their support.

      He needed to go to prison on January 7th, 2021 with his trial starting the next day, and immediately barred from running for office under the 14th amendment of the US constitution regardless of the outcome of his trial or any pardons.
