Biden Spreads Misinformation About Trump Calling for a 'Unified Reich'

Where are the fact-checkers?

On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump's Truth Social account shared a new campaign video created by a random fan. The video featured fake snapshots of future newspaper headlines predicting widespread prosperity under a subsequent Trump presidency. The creator used a preexisting newspaper template and simply replaced some of the headlines, but some of the original text was still visible, and eagle-eyed users spotted a curious phrase: "the creation of a unified Reich."

This prompted many, many, many people on X to proclaim that Trump had endorsed "the creation of a unified Reich," with reference to the Third Reich, another name for Adolf Hitler's Nazi government. The anti-Trump political group The Lincoln Project accused the former president of "openly copying Nazi language." ABC reported that the ad used language "from Nazi Germany" and "referenced Adolf Hitler." CNN's Manu Raju confronted random Republicans in Congress and demanded that they answer for the advertisement. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D–Md.) said that Trump had used an "antisemitic dogwhistle." Even Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich (no relation) opined that this was yet another example of hidden Nazi symbology embedded within the Trump campaign.

The Trump campaign disavowed the ad and deleted the Truth Social post.

But as it turns out, the assertion that Trump was tacitly endorsing some form of Nazi government is highly misleading, if not outright false. The video was made using a newspaper template that is widely available, and that template includes references to the world wars. Some have suggested the template actually refers to WWI, not WWII.

To be clear, the template is just that—a template. The point of the ad is obviously not to suggest that Trump's policies have anything to do with the preexisting headlines.

 

Reich-eous Indignation

Enter President Joe Biden. Just a few hours after the ad attracted so much attention, the Biden campaign released a response video:

Donald Trump posted an ad echoing the language of Nazi Germany.

He only cares about holding on to power.

I care about you. pic.twitter.com/XSmGKaQhJ1

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) May 21, 2024

In his response, Biden watches the Trump ad and then says—with rising anger—"A unified Reich? That's Hitler's language. That's not America's."

Again, this is an inaccurate summary of the video. But don't hold your breath waiting for the media fact-checkers to spring into action and correct him. Few mainstream journalists bothered to set the record straight. (The Atlantic's David A. Graham and Vox's Zack Beauchamp did, to their credit.) An Axios writeup of Biden's response offers zero pushback. It was the same story at NPR and Politico.

None of this is to say that Trump is free of loathsome associations. He told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by," and he infamously dined with Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and white nationalist Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago. (Trump claimed he didn't know Fuentes and had not specifically invited him.) But Biden and the media have seized upon a nothingburger here, and the media's vast fact-checking apparatus is suddenly asleep at the wheel.

Biden also said this in Missouri:

Because we cannot get reelected. We cannot win this reelection. We can only reelect Donald Trump. - Joe Biden (D)

[Don't look at me!]

Well , to be honest, it was nice to see him speak truthfully for a change.

[Ersatz]

yeah!

[ObviouslyNotSpam]

You're recycling year-old disinformation? Times must be hard over there...

[Chemjeff, NAMBLA CEO and Radical Pedophilia Enthusiast]

Aaawwwww………. Poor widdle baby. Your senile overlord is being mocked.

[sarcasmic]

This article goes against the narrative about Reason being a bunch of leftists who harp on Trump while never criticizing Biden.

Therefore this article does not exist.

[Chumby]

What does MrMxyzptlk have to say?

[sarcasmic]

How would I know?

[Don't look at me!]

Poor sarc

[Á àß äẞç ãþÇđ âÞ¢Đæ ǎB€Ðëf ảhf]

Same way you know to not take the bait.

[sarcasmic]

I've seen the comments where Chumby thinks I'm running a sock. ML thinks everyone is a sock. I'm thinking Chumby is an ML sock.

[Á àß äẞç ãþÇđ âÞ¢Đæ ǎB€Ðëf ảhf]

TAKE THE BAIT!

[sarcasmic]

I can't help it. He's a Master Baiter.

[VULGAR MADMAN]

Come see the ideas!

[JesseAz]

Quiet down sqrsly

[Mother's Lament]

I’m thinking Chumby is an ML sock.

You got us, Sarckles.
You figured it all out. How'd you get so smart?

I'm also Misek, Lying Jeffy and ur mom.

[sarcasmic]

Well you've been certain that I was jeff, Squirrely, Mike, SPB, and others. So your track record is ass.

[JesseAz]

Sqrsly yes. The rest of your rant is lies. Because you forgot to log put as sqrsly and posted as him.

[Mother's Lament]

Just Sqrlsy, and you know that.

[Chumby]

Nice deflection. ML and I are actually previously conjoined twins. Lose.

[sarcasmic]

Surprisingly that makes the most sense.

[Chumby]

I was first on your list and now ML. So yeah, go with that.

[sarcasmic]

You said "list." Big Mac is swooning.

[Chumby]

Do you have a separate list for your MrMxyzptlk sarc puppet?

[sarcasmic]

Will you stop beating your wife if I tell you?

[Chumby]

She was beating me…she has always been handy. Speaking of DV on family members, didn’t Mrs Mxyzptlk call HHS on you or was that CPS that got called?

[Chemjeff, NAMBLA CEO and Radical Pedophilia Enthusiast]

That’s not fair Chumby. You know there is no way Sarc was ever married or had a kid. Those are just more of his alcoholic delusions.

[Chemjeff, NAMBLA CEO and Radical Pedophilia Enthusiast]

It doesn’t help your case that you’re a notorious liar.

[JesseAz]

Mr. M got really upset yesterday with everyone calling him a dummy for using the same illegal immigration arguments sarc uses. Was pretty funny.

[JesseAz]

Note: sarc can't bring himself to criticize Joe or democrats. He has to throw shit at the wall.

He is most upset that after 7 years Reason is slowly realizing Democrat narratives may be wrong. Sarc holds onto to the religious faith.

[R Mac]

Poor sarc.

[Chemjeff, NAMBLA CEO and Radical Pedophilia Enthusiast]

Yes, pour Sarc.

[John Rohan]

Is anyone actually saying that? One thing I like about Reason is that, even though I don't always agree with what they say, they are not timid about criticizing or praising both sides.

[IceTrey]

The headline was also talking about something that happened in 1871. Republicans suck but Democrats are just pure evil.

[Mickey Rat]

So the German leader referenced is Bismarck, not the paper hanger. How many people realize that "Reich" is not an exclusively Nazi word, but rather a common German word for "nation" or "state"? Might be shocked that the German name for Austria is "Oesterreich".

[Its_Not_Inevitable]

People stick their heads in the sand about these things.

[Nachtwaechter Staater]

OMG- MY HANDLE IS GERMANIC!

THAT M_U_S_T MEAN I AM NAZI-ISH!

SOMEONE PLEASE CANCEL ME BEFORE I SIN AGAIN!

Facts have never mattered to fucking mendacious evil Progs.

[Chumby]

Döner macht schöner

[Vernon Depner]

Machen Sie mir keine Vorwürfe, ich bin Amish!

[Bertram Guilfoyle]

Same with fuhrer, no?

[Square = Circle]

No. Fuhrer, meaning “leader,” can describe a military rank, but using it to mean “Party Leader” and then “Dictator” was pretty specifically a Hitler/Nazi thing, strongly tied to militaristic German nationalism.

The preferred term for the monarch at the head of the HRE (the historical "Reich") was "Kaiser," the German form of Caesar.

[mad.casual]

More critically, Hitler was the only one to hold the title and he claimed it as part of Führerprinzip, the principles by which he was declared above the law and the Republic was to be dissolved.

Terms like Wegführer (trail leader) won’t get you crossways looks like “Grammar Nazi” won’t here, but virtually no reference to a straight up or unqualified Führer is made that isn’t assumed to mean Hitler.

Anecdotally, I’d even go so far to say that the word has been antiquated in favor of other forms of the word leader (leiter) or even entirely different terms altogether such as schedulers, managers, or bosses.

[sarcasmic]

German is a funny language in that it's perfectly normal to string words together and make new words.

[KARtikeya]

And France in German is former Colts and Panthers coach Frank Reich

[Mickey Rat]

And had been the quarterback for the greatest college football and NFL comeback games

[rbike]

I saw that game. Poor Oilers. Warren Moon. And I don't usually watch football.

[damikesc]

And people forget how fucked the Bills were for that game.

No starting QB.
No starting RB.
Their best defensive player out.

That was humiliating for the Oilers.

[mad.casual]

Democrats are just pure evil.

Arguably, the actual Reich or Empire as traced back to The Holy Roman Empire was a good thing and/or co-opted by a technocratic leader in a "Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain." fashion much like technocrats now are invoking it as a false shaming.

Actual Liberal Thought.

So like a great many of my contemporaries I was drawn to the study of 20th century history by the German problem. What Meineke called the German catastrophe, is the hardest of all problems because the worst event, the
Holocaust, arises in a quite Advanced society which had the best universities in the 1920s, which had the highest rates of intermarriage between Jews and non-jews of any country, and which was generally recognized to be at the Forefront of of technological and scientific advancement. And yet Hitler, and yet the Holocaust and so for me the big challenge in my early career was to try to come up with a better answer than seemed to be available to the question "What went wrong?". As a graduate student I encountered a lot of, to me, unsatisfactory answers to this question. Some of which derive loosely from the Marxist tradition uh and so there was a lot of Marx-ian if not Marxist thinking that it must somehow be to do with the peculiarities of German class Society. I won't bore you with the details all this seemed to me to be profoundly misconceived. I found Meinke's answer actually better. Meineke, of course, lived through it. Didn't leave Germany and published Die Katastrophe just after the end
of the War and in it he advances a number of, I think, illuminating arguments. One of which is that the German Elites became excessively technocratic and ethically uncoupled and it's this ethic uncoupling that arises amongst the educated Germans that is the most striking feature.
...
Michael Burley's new history of the Third Reich is, I think, the only book that captures the enormous power of Hitler as a demonic and charismatic leader capable of displacing Christian ethics. And that is the critical thing Hitler calls on German Society to renounce Christian ethics and that is why by the early 1940s educated German men are engaged in the kind of barbaric behavior that we associate with the Holocaust

[Minadin]

Wait until Robby finds out what else the Democrats and their media allies have lied about in order to get Trump.

[Zeb]

"Hitler's language". Which would be German. "Reich" is a normal German word and doesn't exclusively refer to the Third Reich. God these people are sick. But they know millions will buy their bullshit.

[Square = Circle]

Yeah - this has got to be one of the biggest reaches yet. Even if you did think that whoever made this video even looked at the text other than the headlines, arguing that a fast, blurry flash of small text in the corner of the screen for one second is 'openly advocating for “the creation of a unified Reich"' is next-level unhinged.

[A Cynical Asshole]

next-level unhinged

That's all they've got. Look for them to become even more desperate and unhinged as the reality that, in all likelihood, Joe Biden is going to lose re-election (absent some sort of "fortification" on steroids) begins to truly set in. Most are still in denial, but just wait.

[ObviouslyNotSpam]

It's not all they've got. There's actually plenty that Trump did say or endorse which makes it clear what kind of person he is and what kind of government he would create if given another chance.

Going with this was just stupid.

[Chemjeff, NAMBLA CEO and Radical Pedophilia Enthusiast]

Funny, we have four years of Trump acting in the opposite manner.

[Truthfulness]

The Democrats are afraid of losing their power. That's why they're terrified of Trump--he would make a government without such dishonest people.

[mad.casual]

“Reich” is a normal German word and doesn’t exclusively refer to the Third Reich.

You would think it would be obvious from the "Third" that simply saying "Reich" didn't delineate *which* Reich, but I'm pretty sure this ad is squarely aimed at the "And then, for no particular reason at all, the German people decided to elect Adolph Hitler." crowd.

Could you imagine describing Chinese as "Mao's language" or Russian as "Stalin's Language" or Japanese as "Hirohito's language" especially when using a term from one of their predecessors? Except for maybe Russian, you'd be derided as a racist, uncultured, historically ignorant hick.

[Sarah Palin's Buttplug 2]

This prompted many, many, many people on X to proclaim that Trump had endorsed "the creation of a unified Reich,"

Hey, it FEELS true.

Just as with the economy actual facts don't matter (so I was told in the AM links). What matters is - does it "feel" like the truth?

[sarcasmic]

It feels true that the election was stolen. That means the lack of evidence is proof of an effective conspiracy.

[JesseAz]

Once again. You've been given the evidence available to the public. You demand evidence only the government allows itself to access to defend the cleanest election ever lie.

[Chemjeff, NAMBLA CEO and Radical Pedophilia Enthusiast]

He would rather see this country burn than have Trump become president again.

[Mother's Lament]

Except for the mountains of evidence and proof that the election absolutely was stolen, and not sneakily or surreptitiously either.

[damikesc]

Fulton County, GA does not have roughly half of the legally required images of the votes from 2020. This turned up in a hearing recently.

300,000+.

Trump lost Georgia by HOW many votes?

[Medulla Oblongata]

How does the Republican in a run-off for Public Works Commissioner get more votes than ANY Senate candidate on the same run-off ballot, with the hotly contested balance of the US Senate in play?

Jon Ossoff (D)
2,211,603 50.2%
David Perdue (R)
2,194,578 49.8%

(a total of 4406181 votes, and a margin of 17k votes)

Raphael Warnock(D)
2,230,231 50.61%
Kelly Loeffler*(R)
2,176,048 49.39%

(a total of 4406279 votes, and a margin of 54k votes)

You’d think that someone voting for Ossoff would also have voted for Warnock and vice-versa, and similarly that a Perdue voter was also a Loeffler voter and vice-versa.

But 20k fewer people voted for Ossoff than Warnock. There is a similar 20k vote differential in Perdue over Loeffler, so the implication seems to be that 20k people voted for Perdue AND Warnock, which I find virtually unfathomable.

Meanwhile, there was another state-wide race, for PSC

McDonald, Lauren Bubba i (R)
2,214,057 50.78%
Blackman, Daniel (D)
2,145,636 49.22%

(a total of 4359693 votes)

So it seems that about 46.5k people voted for Senators but didn’t vote for a PSC. That is in itself not unusual, as it is not rare for people to only vote on the “important” seats and skip down-ballot votes.

The AMAZING thing to me is that despite 46.5k FEWER votes total, that 20k MORE people voted for a Republican for the PSC seat than voted for Senator Perdue and 38k MORE than Senator Loeffler. Heck even 3k MORE people voted for the Republican PSC candidate than voted for Jon Ossoff.

But pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Nothing to see here! Absolutely no shenanigans could possibly have occurred.

[Medulla Oblongata]

As a libertarian, I don't have any particular reason to like or trust Republicans more than Democrats.

OTOH, Fulton county has had corruption scandal after corruption scandal after corruption scandal. Gwinnett (https://www.ajc.com/news/local-govt--politics/former-gwinnett-commissioner-corruption-everywhere/bVtG4QIxXXNdRf6wLXiNII/) and Dekalb (https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2015/08/05/investigator-corruption-in-dekalb-county-stunning.html) are not far behind. Not specifically in election handling, but once corruption takes hold, it tends to spread.

"Just as with the economy actual facts don’t matter"

Here's a fact about year 2 of #Bidenomics: It was Wall Street's worst year since 2008.

Another fact: You spent the entire year telling us everything was fantastic and we were all brainwashed morons for thinking otherwise.

#DefendBidenAtAllCosts

[JohnZ]

Ignore the rising gas prices at the pump. The rising food prices, the high cost of health care and impossibly outrageous housing and rental costs.
Ignore the number of chain stores and restaurants that have shuttered. The rising gold prices, even silver has jumped.
The Fed is a failure.
End the Fed.

[Idaho-Bob]

This.

It doesn't matter what the "experts" or the government says.

Are you spending 50-100% more on items prior to the current admin?

[ObviouslyNotSpam]

What does it say that you had to go back to December 2022 to find that?

Do you have any clue about what's happened to Wall Street since December 2022?

To give you a flavor, back in January 2024, when both the DJIA and the S&P500 set "record highs", the stock markets were doing so well, even Donald Trump was trying to take credit for it.

[Chemjeff, NAMBLA CEO and Radical Pedophilia Enthusiast]

Very wrong. Factoring in currency devaluation, the Dow is barely higher than before Biden took office.

Poor Pluggo, you got your narrative smashed before you could really even use it.

More random flailing.

[Sandra (formerly OBL)]

More facts!

Red Lobster files for bankruptcy 🙁

Yet another fact: You're on record stating the struggles of well-known businesses can "prove" the entire economy sucks. IIRC it was 2018 when you submitted Sam's Club closing a few stores as "proof" of nationwide economic ruin.

[Sarah Palin's Buttplug 2]

That Cheesy-bread caused it.

[Nachtwaechter Staater]

Fuck off, Pedo.

Those CheddarBay biscuits are tha' BOMB!

[Sandra (formerly OBL)]

Still more facts!

You've spent Biden's entire Presidency insisting inflation is a fake issue.

Meanwhile, Democrats literally named their big ambitious economic package the *** Inflation Reduction *** Act.

LOL

Your pro-Democrat gaslighting is so absurd that even Democrats don't buy it!

[JohnZ]

Endless shrimp. No doubt.

[damikesc]

Pretty sure it was running All You Can Eat Shrimp full time that did them in nicely.

But you did say Sam’s Club closing a few locations was proof the Trump economy was, akshually, pretty bad.

[JesseAz]

Taylor Swift Concert Index counters the Red Lobster Index.

[diver64]

I read an interesting story about why Red Lobster went bankrupt. Seems the hedge fund that Darden sold Red Lobster to stipulated that the restaurants be split from the land under them as part of the deal, unlike a lot of chains Red Lobster apparently owned the property on which they were located, which was agreed to. The hedge fund then leased the property back to Red Lobster. With the rise in land prices the hedge fund saw better uses for that land and started raising the lease costs to drive out Red Lobster and it worked.

[ObviouslyNotSpam]

What's the expected life of a restaurant chain? I was surprised Red Lobsters were still around. I don't think I've ever eaten at one, but I do recall LL Cool J rapping about it:

"I went to Red Lobster for shrimp and steak
Around the time when the waitresses are on their lunch break
I pulled in the parking lot, parked my car
Somebody shouted out, "I don't care who you are"
I paid it no attention, I walked inside
'Cause Brian had a nine and he was chilling in the ride
I walked in the place, everybody was lookin'
And shrimp and steak wasn't the only thing cookin'
I sat down to eat, ordered my food
I said to the waitress, "I don't mean to be rude
But I'll take you on a platter"
She said, "You got a girl?" I said, "It don't matter
You look like you're tastier than piping hot pizza
What's your name?" She said, "My tag says Lisa"
I said, "Okay, you're smart and all that
But when you get off work, yo, I'll be back"
She looked at me and said, "Make yourself clear
L, where we going?" I said, "Right here"
She looked kind of puzzled, I said, "You'll see"
I pulled up at ten on the D-O-T
When she walked out the door, I threw my tongue down her throat
Pushed her back inside and pulled off her coat
Laid her on the table and placed my order
And gave her a tip much bigger than a quarter
On and on 'til the break of dawn
All over the restaurant, word is bond
I heard somebody coughin', I checked my watch
I couldn't believe it said nine o'clock
I grabbed my pants, put on my Kangol
Who did I see? Oh, yo
It was Brenda
Yo, she worked at Red Lobster, but I didn't remember..."

[Square = Circle]

Hey, it FEELS true.

Does it, though?

[JesseAz]

Despite this article, Jeff and Sarc will continue to use it in pushing their Trump is Hitler narrative. Add it to the blood, vermin, etc statements. They have the proof.

[ObviouslyNotSpam]

They didn't need this, in fact. There's plenty that he did say and endorse--enough that no one should be allowed to say "I didn't know".

[Truthfulness]

So plentiful, you didn't even provide any evidence or examples.

[Chemjeff, NAMBLA CEO and Radical Pedophilia Enthusiast]

Yeah, me makes up a lot of stupid bullshit.

[Super Scary]

"I just finished Shogun (excellent) and completed my re-watch of The Sopranos (also excellent), which means I need a new show. What should I watch next?"

I'd also recommend Shogun to everyone, even if you aren't a weeb or whatever. Good historical drama type thing.

I'd recommend Mr Inbetween if you are looking for a short series (only 3 seasons). It's Australian made, so every talks with their funny little accents, which is a plus. Good comedy at times, neat story, great lead role.

[mad.casual]

Even Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich (no relation) opined that this was yet another example of hidden Nazi symbology embedded within the Trump campaign.

Oh, FFS

[Jerry B.]

It’s just getting beyond silly. What’s funny is that if you read the comments on the leftist newspapers, say the Washington Post, you’ll see that a large number of leftists actually believe that a Trump presidency will lead to a Fourth Reich, somehow forgetting that the Fourth Reich they predicted in 2016 never came to pass (until, perhaps, Biden was elected).

[JesseAz]

We get that in the comments here.

[middlefinger]

It’s hilarious. Every time they lie, Trumps numbers go up.

They’re not backtracking on crime, illegals or the NGO extension of taxpayer funded government jobs. They know this corpse will be propped up again. And to be fair to Biden, he thinks he is vice president, Moorehouse college is Detroit and American hostages in Gaza are in his audience.

[P. Henry]

“None of this is to say that Trump is free of loathsome associations.” And I thought the point was about a lie that is being told by people other than Trump. Robby, could you please cease with these asides that have nothing to do with the topic? Where did you learn to do this? But if you insist, why wouldn’t you use an aside that shows a loathsome aspect of Biden? That’s closer to being on point.

[middlefinger]

Ever watch The Hill “Rising”. His white colonization jihadi co-hosts are always fun with witty banter, until, historically speaking, they’re not.

[Vernon Depner]

Where did you learn to do this?

It's in the Reason style book.

[A Cynical Asshole]

He's got to make sure he keeps getting invited to those DC cocktail parties. Plus, they'll probably boot him off of The Hill if he doesn't "to be sure" hard enough when it comes to Trump.

[LIBtranslator]

Trump and Biden, like their party gangs, are practically the same. Only when Gary's 4MM Libertarian vote new dealt 127 electoral votes was Donnie able to lose the popular vote and ACCIDENTALLY squeak past the Woman. Suddenly the Dems defend the same women's rights the LP defended in 1972--then abandoned under infiltration. A girl-bullier smart as a jackass would talk about building power plants, not enslaving girls. A Dem smarter than a potted plant would add planks repealing prohibition laws, not banning electricity or Climate Sharknados.

[JohnZ]

The only thing one must take into consideration is that anything, anything either the Biden administration or any leftist accuses Trump of being or plans to implement is exactly what the current administration is doing and will do if they remain in power.
It's called projection which is one of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.

[CopaGent]

Uncle Joe is a compulsive, prolific and repetitive liar, but not a very good one.
Joe is also well down the one way path to senility yet his party is still behind him. Disgraceful. It seems to me that the 25 Amendment needs some rework.

[middlefinger]

Harris and her Hollywood crony-climate stocks wealth management husband, were always the chosen ones. Biden is gone at this point, he might fall over and expire the election, much like Feinstein.

[Vernon Depner]

yet his party is still behind him

Behind the scenes, that might have changed. We'll know soon. Agreeing to the "debates" sure looks like throwing him under the bus.

[LIBtranslator]

Strong minds discuss ideas, weak minds discuss people.

[Vernon Depner]

Strong minds are capable of holding and expressing ideas. When the President can't do that, that's a matter worthy of discussion.

[Truthfulness]

Eleanor Roosevelt was wrong. Some ideas simply aren’t worth discussing. A strong-minded person would know this--the fact that you don't believe that makes you very suspect.

[A Thinking Mind]

He told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by,"

Sigh….

[A Thinking Mind]

“There’s just too much misinformation and spin out there, why isn’t someone examining these claims more closely?! It’s not like this other information that can be taken entirely out of context!”

[Vernon Depner]

He should have told them to fix bayonets and charge?

[A Thinking Mind]

People forget the context of it.

Chris Wallace set that up. "Are you willing to tell white supremacist and militia groups that they need to stand down?"

Trump: "Give me a name. Give me a name. Go ahead, who would you like me to condemn?"

Wallace: "White Supremacists and-"
Biden (speaking over): "Proud Boys."

Trump: "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by."

He spoke inartfully, but in specific reference to asking groups of supposed white supremacists (who were led by noted white person Enrique Tarrio, but whatever), but he was told to address a specific group and to ask them to stand down, and he did exactly that. Somehow that's evidence of Trump specifically endorsing every violent thing they ever did.

Perhaps the important context of that statement might be worth Robby remembering if he's going to try to add context to other things. He didn't just say that out of the blue.

[EISTAU Gree-Vance]

I wonder if Jake tapper will ask sleepy joe to condemn the campus idiots for their “river to the sea” hatred?

Haha. Just kidding.

Side note: type in “river” and autofill assumes “to the sea”. Weird.

Pooor Baybeee! That bad geezer wouldn't kick so much sand in Orange Geezer's face if Republicans weren't the ones who taught race Suicide theories to Hitler. Try comparing the two mystical collectivist prayerbooks and speeches. War on Drugs asset-forfeiture looting is a rewrite of Nazi "confiscation of war profits" verbiage straight out of their platform. The irony is that Murrican Prohibitionism pressured Germany into both world wars. WW1 was caused by the Hague Opium Convention and WW2 by the League of Nations Narcotic Limitation Convention planned in 1929 and realized in 1931. https://libertrans.blogspot.com/2023/07/herbert-hoover-and-adolf-hitler.html

[mad.casual]

In his response, Biden watches the Trump ad and then says—with rising anger—"A unified Reich? That's Hitler's language. That's not America's."

Talk about terminally too online.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Also while speaking at an all white college graduation Biden declared that when he was vice president the Spanish flu was getting pretty rough and Woodrow Wilson sent him to lead a regiment to Spain to determine if the pandemic was the result of a lab leak. While there he was arrested for leading a civil rights march in Madrid. Upon his release he landed a job as a lifeguard and saved up enough cash to purchase a '68 Corvette that he later drove across the Indian Ocean.

[Bertram Guilfoyle]

After which, he was eaten by cannibals.

[Vernon Depner]

He should clarify that they were WHITE cannibals.

Trump is a coward for trying to sneak in a subliminal antisemitic message in ads. The brave Hamas youth openly call for the death of Jews at our most prestigious colleges.

“Trump only cares about holding onto power”

Says the man who unconstitutionally forgives student loans and withheld arms to Israel to appease Muslim voters.

Sigh, the number of Jews, Palestinians, Russians and Ukrainians who would be alive today if Trump was still president. America fucked up big time.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

"Sigh, the number of Jews, Palestinians, Russians and Ukrainians who would be alive today if Trump was still president. America fucked up big time."
Agreed. Biggest fuck up of the century so far with the possible exception of the Covid scam. But all we do is argue about munitions and demonstrations. None of this shit had to happen.

[MollyGodiva]

Two important facts:
1. The Trump campaign posted it.
2. It does echo the language of Nazi Germany.

The fact that it came from a template, or historically it came from WWI is not relevant, the point the ad made was the same.

[Super Scary]

Orange man bad. Got it. Loud and clear!

[JesseAz]

How is the left getting dumber.

[MollyGodiva]

It is a campaign ad, not a documentary. They posted it knowing exactly what it said and how they wanted people to interpret it.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

The campaign had nothing to do with the creation of this post. Somebody linked to it from Truth Social and once the common German word from an old newspaper was noticed it was immediately taken down. Ya know Molly, I once squinted real hard looking at a Salvador Dali. And there you were being gang banged by a herd of Clydesdales. With a huge smile on your face.

[JesseAz]

By the left I meant you. Sorry. Didn't realize you were that dumb.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

They're not sending us their best.

[Vernon Depner]

How is the left getting dumber.

By continually purging the bright and educated from their ranks.

[Nachtwaechter Staater]

We will NEVER reach peak Prog-Dumb.

[A Cynical Asshole]

Stupidity is the world's only infinite resource.

[Chumby]

Does the group home have something special planned for the holiday? If so, I bet you are excited.

[mad.casual]

I bet they make a lot of friends in the home with all the "WWI was irrelevant to Nazi Germany" talk on Memorial Day.

[XM]

They used a newspaper template with WW1 headlines. The material was not created by the Trump campaign. According to your logic, the company that offers this service is Nazi sympathizers themselves.

As someone pointed out, “Reich” is just a German term referring to a nation. It’s not a nazi term.

[Zeb]

I'm pretty sure candidates from both major parties want the US to remain a unified reich.

[Vernon Depner]

So, Robert Reich is a Nazi? No surprise.

[R Mac]

Germany didn’t speak a different language when the Nazis were in power retard.

[Zeb]

Really? Where does it echo the language of Nazi Germany? Was is the famous Nazi position of not getting involved in any new wars?
I would wager the person who made the video didn't even notice the "unified reich" text which is blurry and quite hard to notice if you aren't looking for it.

[LIBtranslator]

Picky, picky, picky... Nothin' to see folks... Keep moving...
Anyone can compare Hitler's 1920 platform with Republican Party screed and see they are the same thing. https://libertariantranslator.wordpress.com/2017/01/13/trump-and-national-socialism/

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Thank god the 1974 Libertarian party platform convinced the supremes to overturn the Comstock act. Otherwise we'd be ruled by Nazi girl bulliers.

[Heraclitus]

Hey now, you can't blame the boss for what his underlings do. He only hires the best, but occasionally someone goes rogue.

[Sevo]

It's a shame you never grew a second brain cell, slimy pile of lefty shit.

[LIBtranslator]

A third fact is that Republicans led by Bert Hoover exporting drug prohibitionism to Germany in 1931 so startled German Big pharma that those corporations retaliated by funding the Christian National socialists and getting Hitler elected. Heck, beer was still a Republican felony Stateside! GOP and NSDAP platform language reflects the same superstitious collectivist ideas, no matter how they try to launder and disguise it: https://libertariantranslator.wordpress.com/2016/03/17/republican-national-socialist-comparison/

[Gaear Grimsrud]

A fourth fact is that while all of that was going on the Democrats were peacefully enforcing Jim Crow and joyfully organizing KKK events to lynch uppity blacks. And some of their dry counties exist to this day.

[diver64]

Not quite. What a one sided "fact" history with much bias you lay out. The issue was much more complicated, as most are, than that.

[Sevo]

One important fact:
You.
Are.
Full.
Of.
Shit.
Oh, well, here's one more:
You're a fucking ignoramus.

[damikesc]

"1. The Trump campaign posted it.
2. It does echo the language of Nazi Germany."

So, the German language is now Nazi. Got it. Solid take there.

[diver64]

Meanwhile Joey the Shower Pervert is busy screwing up every speech he makes and lying about things with no pushback. Every hysterical story and post, lawfare and pundit caterwauling about Trump while ignoring Brandon is pushing even more people into Trump's camp as the est 25,000 in the Bronx yesterday prove. People may not like Trump's posts and the way he talks but they see what is going on and know the Cathedral can turn on them just as fast.

Show to watch: MI5 (US title) also called Spooks (UK title).

One of the best drama's I've seen in a long time, and in typical British fashion, good characters are regularly killed off.

Highly recommended.

[Heraclitus]

This is another sad example that Trump is clueless. Yeah, the left is blowing it out of proportion, but Trump brags about hiring the best people and they come up with this. A normal candidate would do a mea culpa and move on but we know Trump is incapable of recognizing accountability. He is always the victim.

And this is relevant because MAGAs are yelling about how Trump is such a big supporter of Israel and so on and yet he continually flirts with anti-Semitism. The truth is that he is just a blundering fool who hires hacks and then does not own up to it. And bragging about potentially deporting 15 million people? Holy cow that would destroy the economy and rip apart millions of families. When you pair that with discourse about unified reichs it does sound pretty ominous. A normal person would admit a mistake and move on.

[JesseAz]

This wasn’t someone Trump hired. It took dumb leftists zooming in on a stock photo. What is really dumb is thinking this was intentional and not a dumb leftist narrative and then blaming Trump for the dumb leftist narrative.

What anti semetism did he flirt with. Youre making the same dumb narrative of the dumb left.

And bragging about potentially deporting 15 million people? Holy cow that would destroy the economy and rip apart millions of families.

And then full retard appears. Even the most optimistic economic model shows recent immigrants as a net drain on resources. The families would be deported together dumdum. Most deportation plans are also passive, not active. When shown to be here in violation they are deported. It isnt cops going door to door dumdum.

[ObviouslyNotSpam]

"The families would be deported together dumdum."

That would work so well with the US-born kids in those families...

[Medulla Oblongata]

The kids can stay.

[LIBtranslator]

Strong minds...

[Truthfulness]

…understand that the support of Israel puts a damp into the idea that Trump and his “MAGA” supporters “flirt with anti-Semitism”. You do not have such a mind.

There is no credibility to Heraclitus’ claim that Trump and his supporters are anti-Semitic.

[Sevo]

"This is another sad example that Trump is clueless..."

This from a steaming pile of lefty shit too fucking stupid to recognize the source.
Fuck off and die, shit-for-brains.

[diver64]

Clueless because he didn't think to zoom in on a stock photo and read what the paper said then get out the historical texts to analyze it? That is one silly first sentence in context of this article.

[Kungpowderfinger]

Where are the fact-checkers?

Gleefully fellating democrat incumbents?

[LIBtranslator]

Surprisingly, Robby is the new G.O.Pologist, not Lizard, Steph or the Born-Again version of Zack. Zack now thinks Herbert Hoover republican dry killers and Harry Anslinger Gunmen stood for laissez-faire freedom from coercion, while beer-legalizing Franklin Roosevelt was the Vlad the Impaler of the Bill Of Rights. Is THIS the entering wedge of another Alternative für Deutschland-NSDAP-Alabama Von Mises Institution Anschluss? And who in the world is it that hands shocked republican propagandists Christian Racial Jihad boilerplate to sugar-coat their girl-bullying agitprop?

[Gaear Grimsrud]

So that makes you a DEMOPologist?

[Mother's Lament]

"new G.O.Pologist, Lizard, Steph Born-Again version of Zack Herbert Hoover republican dry killers Harry Anslinger Gunmen stood laissez-faire freedom from coercion, beer-legalizing Franklin Roosevelt Vlad the Impaler of the Bill Of Rights.

Is this Slam Poetry?

[diver64]

Umm.....What now?

[A Cynical Asshole]

This is (D)ifferent.

Where are the fact-checkers?

Pretty sure they disappeared up their own asses a long time ago.

[Chumby]

They took a siesta with the #metoo crowd once Brandon took office.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Speaking of which,
https://rumble.com/v4u0ld8-tara-reade-on-being-exiled-to-russia-after-accusing-joe-biden.html
Remember Tara Reade? Tucker Carlson interviewed her in Russia last week. She says the Biden DOJ is trying to arrest and indict her. Haven't seen much coverage of this but pretty disturbing if true.

[Chumby]

It showed up on one of the Russian TG channels. Didn’t watch the interview.

[ObviouslyNotSpam]

Trying to arrest her in Russia? How does she imagine that might work?

Besides, isn't immunity from arrest the entire reason she fled to Russia in the first place?

[Truthfulness]

*points to Julian Assange*

You seriously can't be this stupid, right? Fool.

[diver64]

Where? Same place the "with no evidence" crowd went, over to Stelter's house to disappear into obscurity.

[jubalharshaw]

For a new show, try Firefly or the Dr Who spinoff, Torchwood. . Resident Alien is also good. Boston Legal is quirky. Leverage is good, as is Killjoys. Enjoy.

Shatner's Emmy speech referencing a critic that said Shatner would win an Emmy when hell froze over is epic.

Can you stop please? We've had about all the "caring" we can take from you, Joe.

[diver64]

I actually pay close attention to the news and this is the first I've heard of this story. To the vast majority of Americans it is background noise.

[TJJ2000]

Leftard self-projection.

Nazism (or National Socialism; German: [Na]tionalso[zi]al[ism]us)
The National Socialist German Workers’ Party
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism

The party that proudly admits to being "Federal"/[Na]tional So[zi]alist[s] calling the other side Nazi’s while Trump himself proudly and publicly states, “America will never be a socialist country”.

And anyone has to wonder why the left is pure-evil. From obviously blatant self-projection, to blatantly pushing for ‘armed-theft’ and calling it charity, to having by far the longest history of passing UN-Constitutional legislation, to always making “New Deals” to destroy that Constitution – the left is the enemy of the USA and almost all of the reason for the US failing and flirting with bankruptcy. Your ‘Guns’ don’t make sh*t leftards. They never have and they never will; they just destroy a once great nation.

[JEP41]

For drama, try “Bosch”.
For laughs, try “Bookie” and “Resident Alien”.

[I've seen some episodes of the current "Shogun"; I prefer the original from back in 1980, with Richard Chamberlain, Toshiro Mifune and Yoko Shimada]
