As I believe I have mentioned, I am reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, by William Shirer. It's a cube of paper, and he spends a lot of pages on meticulous detail of large events, so it's a slog. I'm about 1/3 of the way through. At this point Neville Chamberlain, who has a more than fair bid to be history's greatest fool, has gifted Czechoslovakia to Hitler in exchange for Hitler's assurance that he has no further territorial designs. The persecution of Germany's Jews is well advanced, with Jews having been barred from all professions, synagogues burned, businesses smashed, and property looted. Many have been murdered, but so far on only a retail scale Chamberlain has had nothing to say about this at all. I presume you know what happened next, at least in broad outline.
Imagine my total lack of surprise on learning that the former Resident hosted a dinner at his Florida estate for the Asshole Formerly Known as Kanye West, and Nick Fuentes, an actual Nazi. The New York Times at least bothered to cover this, albeit briefly.
Former President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday night had dinner with Nick Fuentes, an outspoken antisemite and racist who is one of the country’s most prominent young white supremacists, at Mr. Trump’s private club in Florida, advisers to Mr. Trump conceded on Friday. . . .
In recent years, Mr. Fuentes, 24, has developed a high profile on the far right and forged ties with such Republican lawmakers as Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona, largely through his leadership of an annual white-supremacist event called the America First Political Action Conference.
A Holocaust denier and unabashed racist, Mr. Fuentes openly uses hateful language on his podcast, in recent weeks calling for the military to be sent into Black neighborhoods and demanding that Jews leave the country.
I should note that expelling the Jews from Germany was the Nazis first idea, and that's what they were discussing at the time referenced above. The extermination concept came a bit later.The dinner host will be the Republican presidential nominee in 2014, but that's perfectly okay with Kevin McCarthy. Just so you understand what's actually happening.

At least now more of the country will recognize that Shitler is genuinely mentally ill. Call me quaint, but I think it's a really bad idea to let mentally ill people vote for federal office.
Again, it seems bizarre to me that you have to have a lot more qualifications to get a job at McDonald's than you do to be President of the United States. Just be 35, a citizen, and have been born here.
Is there any other job in the country that has as few qualifications?
