New Book Claims John Kelly Had to Restrain Trump From Praising Hitler


A forthcoming book by Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender, claims former President Donald Trump "stunned" his then chief-of-staff John Kelly, by praising Adolf Hitler during a European visit to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.  This occurred after Kelly had finished explaining to the President “which countries were on which side during the conflict" and "connected the dots from the First World War to the Second World War and all of Hitler's atrocities,” to which Trump replied "Well, Hitler did a lot of good things.”  Kelly then tried to explain to the President that “its never a good idea to praise Hitler for anything.”

So, John Kelly is claiming he was “stunned" when Donald Trump praised Hitler - and I get that.  I mean, who could have possibly imagined that a guy like Donald Trump, who constantly heaped praise on tyrants like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, Philippine President Duterte, and Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman - would also be a fan of Adolf Hitler?  Why, anyone who’d believe that, would probably also believe the horrific 117 degree heat wave that recently hit Portland - was caused by climate change.


Anyway, what a comfort it is to realize we just had a sitting President these past four years - who actually needed to be told “it’s probably not such a good idea to praise Hitler.”  Why, even Sarah Palin knew that.  Of course, some might argue that if John Kelly had any integrity at all - he’d have resigned right there.  Well, the fact is, Kelly didn’t necessarily disagree with the President, he was just warning him not to say that kind of thing “out loud.”  Besides, don’t go blaming John Kelly or those other Trump officials.  After all, they were “just following orders.” 


The thing is, we now know that Trump’s admiration for Adolf Hitler apparently isn’t anything especially new.  According to to Ivana Trump’s memoir and their divorce proceeding’s records, Trump reportedly kept a book of Hitler's speeches right on their bedside table during their marriage.  Of course, knowing Trump - it was probably one of those special “Mein Kampf for Dummies” editions.  You know, lots of pictures - not too many big words.  Nothing too complicated - after all, a fascist mind is a terrible thing to confuse.

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Former Trump National Security Advisor Warns ‘Deep State’ Putting COVID Vaccine in Salad Dressing

Former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired and then prosecuted for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia before being ultimately pardoned by Trump, is now sliding further into the QAnon conspiracy world, telling the hosts of an online show dedicated to COVID and election fraud conspiracies - that he has heard the “Deep State” is attempting to “sneak coronavirus vaccine into salad dressing.” Now, I have no idea where Gen. Flynn got this information, but my guess is it was probably a text from Mike Lindell or Rudy Giuliani, alerting him to the “hidden dangers of salad dressing.”  Or, it could have been Nicki Minaj for all I know.  After all, she does have another cousin who has a friend in Timbuktu.  Word on the street has it the “Deep State” will initially start with “Ranch Dressing” to vaccinate the cowboys, then move on to “Russian Dressing,” to get the rest of Trump’s supporters. Anyway, I hate to rain on Gen. Flynn’s conspiracy the...

Elon Musk Calls for the Prosecution of Anthony Fauci

Over the weekend, Elon Musk took to his Twitter account to call for the prosecution of infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, endorsing a convoluted, right-wing conspiracy theory that claims Dr. Fauci financed the COVID-19 pandemic.   Musk then proceeded to mock transgender people by adding “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.” Gee, the “world’s richest right-wing troll” said what?  Now, I realize it's a really low bar, but I think we’ve finally found someone who actually knows less about pronouns - than Herschel Walker.   Not to be critical, but a good sign you may have a wee bit too much money on your hands, is when you blow 44 billion dollars, just to call people names. Oh sure, I’m positive Elon Musk, like any right-wing crusader, gets a real kick out of using his Twitter to “Own the Libs.”  OK, I get that, but just who does he suppose is actually buying his friggin' cars, anyway?   I’m pretty sure it isn’t Trump’s toothless, MAGA half-wits who are fillin...
