After watching Don Jr and his girlfriend tonight (and Trump everyday), I think I need to read “Der Totale Rausch” (Total Rush), a book about how many Nazis were high on amphetamines.

English edition of that book:

2. They were funny!

Not funny, "laugh with them kind of funny", but the funny "laugh at them kind of funny".

4. I hope someone zooms in on his eyes. Hers are so black I don't think you could make out a pupil

3. My reaction to Kimberley's speech

Sieg Heil!

Seriously, GOP, if you're going to do a propaganda film of a party rally, do watch Leni Reifenstahl's films. She was a Nazi, but she knew how to handle a camera and stage an event.

10. Please, don't try to help them!

Leni Reifenstahl was DANGEROUS!

6. Several people who watched these speeches live texted me on the exact moments and said similar

Literally, I received simultaneous texts from people in various parts of the world who watched both Kimberly and DJTJ and said that they were not only flying at high altitudes on Coke or speed, but that they were scary Hitler/ Nazi Rally speech like.

Each have in their lifetime been around drugs at some point and even used themselves and said there was no doubt.

Michael Beschloss is not someone to make jarring comments or mock things. He as a historian was being very serious in this tweet.

7. Here is a link to an interview Terry Gross did with Norman Ohler a couple of years ago.

It's an interesting interview.

9. I liked the part where Kim talked about her mother immigrating from Puerto Rico.

I don’t want to slut shame Junior, but damn - 5 kids?

11. We can do an intervention in November.

Kicking for the morning crowd.
