Trump's Tulsa Tantrum - The People Failed Me.

How can Trump "Make America Great Again" if the volk don't turn up? 

Trump's father, Frederick Christ Trumphis real name :), once told his fuming son that Hitler's last breath in the Berlin Bunker was to blame the German people for failing Hitler's vision - see https://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/defeat/enter-bunker.htm :

"The German people were about to learn the harshest lesson of all. The Führer's contempt for human life was not exclusive to the Slavic peoples or the Jews, but would soon be visited upon the Germans themselves, because of their inability to achieve the things he had set out for them." 

Throughout his life, Adolf Hitler had never been able to admit a single mistake or accept responsibility for any failure. And as the thousand-year Reich he founded teetered on the brink of collapse in early 1945, he blamed it on the weakness of the German people and a military organization riddled with timid, disloyal and incompetent officers." [remind anyone of Trump?] 

"If only they had really listened to him and let themselves be inspired. If only they had possessed the same will and determination as him – certainly everything would have turned out differently...."

And now we have Trump's Tulsa Tantrum...

I live in the Tulsa area, and in no way was there any interference from protesters to keep people from attending. I watched all from the three main television stations. The police,Nat Guard and other agencies keep protesters away. Any minor violence came afterwards, after Trump and parties left. Looking at the crowd inside of the BOK, these were sorta uneducated types, no real up scale people. Anyway, the weather was too hot for civilized people to be out in. Blame weather and people not wanting to be involved in a circus.

Turns out that the empty seats were due to anti-Trump activists reserving tickets and not showing up (admitted by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) and that the event had massive TV and online audiences even beating Fox previous records...lol

Correct origin this time!

Good piece... In his last days Hitler retreated into the fantasyland of Nazi (ie, his) ideology, ruthlessly applying diseased Social Darwinist ideas. In March 1945 he told Albert Speer - who, despite being a major war criminal in his own right, was at least halfway sane, and so horrified by Hitler's intent that he began steps to assassinate the Fuhrer - that "if the war is lost the people will be lost also... it is best for us to destroy even [what the German people will need for elemental survival]. For the nation has proved to be the weaker, and the future belongs solely to the stronger eastern nation."

Hitler capped this with a truly ridiculous statement - even in a Social Darwinist fantasy context - that "only those [Germans] who are inferior will remain after this struggle, for the good have already been killed." Curious indeed: one might expect that the "inferior" wd die and the "good" survive, but who am I to argue with the authority?

I remain optimistic re DT's re-election - ie, he won't be.

Nice to see that the progressive side of politics there has begun to learn a few dirty tricks. Lovely strike on the Tulsa rally. Apparently The Man is incandescent with rage.

Meanwhile Joe's quietly on message (gulp!) and projecting an air of stesadiness, reliability and competence - everything DT's not
