Trump tamed by impeachments

[True Dough]

See how odious characters of the past were brought in line by slaps on the wrist?

[msfiddlestix]

1. That's a hell of a Rude Awakening

I wasn't even aware of this factoid. It's like Drumpf is Hitler reincarnated. And I don't believe in reincarnation.

Beginning to reconsider.

[tanyev]

5. Me either, but something a while back had me looking up relevant dates.

Hitler died in 1945, Trump was born in 1946. Hmm....

[msfiddlestix]

23. And he was the 45th president. jeeze. creepy coinky dinky

[electric_blue68]

2. Holy crackers! 😮 🤤🙁😶 speechless

I had no idea that he was imprisoned earlier!!!

[Blue_true]

8. Hitler wrote a book while in prison. That book launched

the Nazi party.

[electric_blue68]

9. I was going to guess Mein Kampf as I read your reply.

[Blue_true]

13. He got sent to prison for trying to overthrow a regional government.

The very same thing we have seen people try in several state capitols, and on Jan 6, the nation’s Capitol.

[electric_blue68]

14. Oh, got it. As been said...

History doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes.

[Blue_true]

28. The problem as I see it is wannabe dictators use the freedoms granted by

a democracy until they seize power and eliminate those very freedoms.

If you listen to a rightwing person, every type of hate speech from them qualify under freedom of speech, but those same people are livid when BLM call out police misconduct, for example.

30. No kidding....

And the ironic statement by ? Karl Popper

Paraphrasing - You have to be intolerant of
Intolerant People in order to have a Tolerant society.

Although as different people have pointed out in general to go beyond tolerance which sounds more like
"putting up with" vs a "welcoming in" vibe.

24. A number of similarities to Jan 6

Beer Hall Putsch

The Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the Munich Putsch was a failed coup d'état by Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler, Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff and other Kampfbund leaders in Munich, Bavaria, on 8–9 November 1923, during the Weimar Republic. Approximately two thousand Nazis marched on the Feldherrnhalle, in the city centre, but were confronted by a police cordon, which resulted in the deaths of 16 Nazi Party members and four police officers.

Hitler, who was wounded during the clash, escaped immediate arrest and was spirited off to safety in the countryside. After two days, he was arrested and charged with treason.

29. You are dead on about the Beer Hall Putsch matching what we saw

on Jan 6, except in out case Hitler went back to the White House and his lead thugs (Giuliani and Don Jr) continue to spew bullshit on rightwing outlets.

[Upthevibe]

3. YIKES!!!

That needs to be front and center in case ANYONE feels they can relax and slip into complacency....

[Bradshaw3]

4. Prison is where Hitler wrote Mein Kampf

Not that drumpf would ever write a book. Hitler was also a young man when he was in prison. drumpf's rage and diet have to catch up to him pretty soon.

[True Dough]

11. Trump is unlikely to read a book either

And, like you, I'm thinking his heart and arteries gotta be ready to call it quits soon.

[Bradshaw3]

25. We can only hope

[coti]

19. Trump doesn't write books,

he tweets.

[dianaredwing]

20. not any more

[sfstaxprep]

6. Oh, And Drumpf Never Went To Prison

So there's that too.

[DonaldsRump]

7. Thank you for posting this.

Hitler was much younger than trump, but this posting says a lot about how easily things can change on a dime and how fragile everything is.

So do these pictures, which were just 81 years ago. For younger folks seeing this, that may be an eternity. It's not. These were the Nazis in Paris in 1940. Just think about that. And this is one of the "nicer" pictures from these monsters.

I won't post the horrible pictures that graphically show their evil, but but please never forget these:

[electric_blue68]

10. I lived in a 2/3rds Jewish neighborhood for 10 years, so yeah ...

[Blue_true]

12. I like the ones of stormtroopers, beaten, freezing and terrified on the

Eastern front, or ones of them retreating from Patton’s 3rd Army, once that Army broke them at the Battle of the Bulge.

[DonaldsRump]

16. I hate Nazis

But I posted these pictures because I've spent a lot of time in Paris. And the Nazi invasion of Europe started with horrifying pix like these (and of course, Poland in 1939.) And, as I said, these are the "nice" ones. Just think about the Nazis marching down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées if/when you are there next.

These pictures now take a 2021 relevancy for me.

[Blue_true]

26. Yes, they scream "crush extremism" before it gets legs.

I read a short article about 30 minutes ago. Immediately after the Jan 6 insurrection, 68% of Americans felt that Trump should never run for office again. Unfortunately, 57% of republicans felt that he should run again - this was after he had essentially induced a mob to try to overthrow our democracy.

[llashram]

15. thank you

proper warning...

[mountain grammy]

17. Amazing find.

[BigmanPigman]

18. Didn't he write Mein Kampf while this particular time in prison?

Does tRump even know how to write?

[LudwigPastorius]

21. The only difference will be,...

Trump's too ignorant to write his "Mein Drumpf" in prison.

He'll have to hire a ghostwriter.

[WarGamer]

22. For the dubious in the crowd...

True Story.

Snopes confirms it...

[central scrutinizer]

27. Did Frau Collins write this?
