    Although Hitler presented no evidence of a plot by Röhm to overthrow the regime, he nevertheless denounced the leadership of the SA.[40] Arriving back at party headquarters in Munich, Hitler addressed the assembled crowd. Consumed with rage, Hitler denounced “the worst treachery in world history”. Hitler told the crowd that “undisciplined and disobedient characters and asocial or diseased elements” would be annihilated.

          Because Trump’s first term and 100 days of his second has shown him to be a stickler for obeying the law.

    Living in Canada today is like seeing your neighbor get bitten by a rabid dog, does nothing about it, brags about how great he’s feeling, then develops rabies, but continues to growl that he is great, and you just watch him and wish police would just old yeller him already because he won’t stop snapping at you

      They redefined “calendar day” to not include any days for the remainder of the session. We aren’t that far off from this kind of bullshit at all.

    I’m sure sure shumer will send a strongly worded letter where he will make very clear that he will not expell all Democrats, but he’ll do his best with some.

    American politics is so stupid that if it were a movie nobody would watch it for being too unbelievable
