A 63 year old movie describes us a little too well

[odanny]

Or

It is all about his pro USA policies

Yeah, that's it.

He's all talk, and when he goes and does something stupid like impose tariffs on China it ends up costing us in the long run, like it did last time. He had to make up the shortfall in lost revenue to farmers with some good old fashioned socialism.

Nope

U.S. farmers need to stop stripping off and wasting our topsoil to feed Red China anyway. As long as food prices are so high relative to wages, exports should be reduced to nil.

My final one for now:

You really needed to look some Holocaust survivors and/or their relatives in the eyes when you posted this.

We all knew what you meant; the gaslighting won't work.

I sincerely hope you sit down with yourself and do some reckoning, but your brain is too far gone for that.

So instead, by way of mockery and etc, I will try to prevent your end stage TDS from infecting any more previously sane people

I was in services all day for Yom Kippur and just caught up with this thread.

There are no words to describe how insulting it is to Holocaust survivors or their relatives to compare Trump to Hitler, and it has been hateful rhetoric like this that is egging on mentally deranged people to try to kill him.

It just shows how desperate Dems have become to keep the American people from putting Trump back in office.

 

[Mac1958]

It really sounds like YOU'RE turning Trump supporters into the new Juden.

There ya go. The Trumpster victim grab.

You poor thing.

This thread isn't about either Trump or Hitler. See posts 10, 13 and 14. It's right there on your screen and you're hiding from it.

You're not getting it. I'm not surprised.

"Judgement At Nuremberg", is one of my all favorites. Lancaster play a German Judge. He was trial for crimes against humanity. Richard Widmark played U.S. Army Prosecutor. A very young William Shatner played an officer assigned the Lancaster character. A very telling and dramatic story of how the Nazi's gained power in Germany.

Yep. Montgomery Clift was amazing as the German lawyer. I think he won an Oscar for that performance. And Marlene Dietrich & Judy Garland!

I guess it really struck me because it reinforces what I've been saying for years about our mess: It's not about the individual at the top, it's about those who enable him. The Trumpsters here either don't see that or they're hiding from it.

We haven't learned. I don't know how that's possible.

I'm posting this in the Politics section because it so eerily describes our current political climate. I was watching a 1961 movie last night, and a moment in the movie absolutely blew my mind.

At a key moment in the movie (at 2:18:00), a judge (played by Burt Lancaster) who is on trial describes a dark time in the country's history:

There was a fever over the land. A fever of disgrace, of indignity, of hunger. We had a democracy, yes. But it was torn by elements within. Above all, there was fear. Fear of today, fear of tomorrow. Fear of our neighbors, and fear of ourselves. Only when you understand that, can you understand what (he) meant to us. Because he said to us, "lift your heads, be proud to be (who you are). There are devils among us -- communists, liberals, jews, gypsies. Once these devils will be destroyed, your misery will be destroyed". It was the old, old story of the sacrificial lamb.

What about those of us who knew better? We who knew the words were lies, and worse than lies? Why did we sit silent? Why did we take part? Because we loved our country. What difference does it make if a few political extremists lose their rights? What difference does it make if a few racial minorities lose their rights? It is only a passing phase! It is only a stage we're going through! It will be discarded sooner or later! The leader himself will be discarded sooner or later!

The country is in danger. We will march out of the shadows. We will go forward! And history tells us how well we succeeded, your honor.




Pretty amazing. The scene is from Judgment at Nuremberg, 1961.

Yes it is. You compared the atmosphere around Hitler to the atmosphere around Trump.

And the ones who will enable a Harris win, and allow Obama to direct his continued destruction of this country by importing millions of unskilled illegals are the ones who will be responsible for the country’s downfall.

Many Republicans lean libertarian and support individual liberty.

and yet they keep voting in people that do not support either

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Milley's scared that he'll be out of a job. Worse...out of power.

he is already retired.

are you ever not wrong?

 

[Mac1958]

Yes it is. You compared the atmosphere around Hitler to the atmosphere around Trump.

The atmosphere. The enablers. Precisely. Not the individuals. One person can't do anything.

 

[Mac1958]

They have to come up with an excuse for all of those officials who have worked closely with Trump and say he is unfit.

It's not him. It just CAN'T be him. It can only be THEM.

Well, I am sure it is hard to live on the retirement pay for a 43 year veteran that achieved the rank of General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

why is it that so many people that worked closely with Trump and say he is unfit?

And the enablers are the useful idiots who plan to vote for an absolutely clueless airhead because they are blind to how the Dems have destroyed this country. Or worse….they’ve been been brainwashed by leftists that this is a horrible country and WANT it destroyed.

Just how many unskilled, uneducated illegals will satisfy you? Do we need to keep importing them until they make up 15% of the population, thus guaranteeing Democrat rule forever (once they are fast-tracked to amnesty), while bringing down the caliber of public education, lowering the property values of the working class houses, and driving up prices on modest rentals and grocery prices by increasing demand?

well then. You tell us how to get millions of manufacturing jobs to return here. Joe and the Progs will not. They wasted trillions and trillions of dollars on their communist dreams. They gave us high inflation that is still not under control. Food and shelter are not under control.

Changing the subject won't work with me. You're free to start a different thread.

Regardless, the OP stands. Your approval is not required.
