Yes, #Trump spoke for a moment about cars. He was saying that we should elect him so that he can put tariffs on Chinese cars. At this point he is presumably still on script. And then he starts to say that it will be bad for the auto industry if he is not elected. He never quite gets to that, since in the middle of the sentence he has another idea.
This article is a great summary of how Hitler came to power. Besides that, it also pretty well covers something that I've come up against in arguments. Namely, that most people (libs, conservatives, centrists, etc) assume when one calls something fascist, one means Nazi. In fact, as the article states, fascism is protean and comes in many flavours.
When one states that Trump is fascist or that the US is at best proto-fascist, one doesn't mean Hitlerian. One could mean Mussolini, Franco, Pinochet, Trump, Reagan, Bush II, Netanyahu, Putin, Cheney, Nixon, Jim Crow US, the South, Texas, etc.
But anyway a good read and rebuttal to the 'don't say fascist' handwringers at #DailyKos and the like. #fascist #Nazi #US
If it talks like a #fascist, it's most likely a fascist. And as a good little #Nazi he threatens violence against all who oppose him. It couldn't be any more clearer if he tried to, a vote for #Trump is a vote for a dictatorial fascist regime.
A registry of people of the Romani ethnicity has been revealed at the police of Norway, reports major newspaper Aftenposten.
The racist registry reportedly contains over 650 people.
The police claims it's fine because it is "anonymized", which is of course extremely probably absolute nonsense as it could almost certainly be de-anonymized very easily as has been very many times proven to be done with commercial registries (e.g. ad-profiles).
Romani people interviewed on the matter are devastated, terrified and in tears over being subjected to yet another targeted antiziganism violation.
The police of Sweden were also revealed use a racist registry of Romani people containing 4741 people in 2013 and for that huge act of systematic racism and privacy violations it faced the consequences of... a statement of "serious criticism" (literally, the title) and that was it.
That's also when it was found police had a registry of battered women, with police abusing the women in that registry.

They've always called specifically targeted antiziganism easier to swallow terms like "fighting crime" and similar.
Corrupt Scotus Defy the Constitution and Give Cover to Insurrectionist. Treason at the Court.
Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson statement that, “By resolving these and other questions, the majority attempts to insulate all alleged insurrectionists from future challenges to their holding federal office.”
It is a fact that, absent congressional action — which we all know is not happening in the current Congress — the majority’s decision effectively nullifies Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment for now outside of federal criminal prosecution and conviction for “rebellion or insurrection.”
The narrowest ruling would've been that states can't disqualify presidential candidates under Section 3.
The actual holding is that the only way to disqualify any candidate for federal office is through a statute enacted by Congress.
Big distinction.
Fascist5 justices hold that the only way to enforce Section 3 against federal officeholders/ officeseekers is through congress passing a law, which #trumpstooges will NEVER allow.
The 3 legitimate Justices: “By resolving these and other questions, the majority attempts to insulate all alleged insurrectionists from future challenges to their holding federal office.”
