Fuck them. If they really want to honor those others, they can make a list including everybody, but to leave out the Jews entirely is a pretty clear statement of anti-semitism.
(Note: Holocaust Day is pretty explicitly in memory of the Jewish victims, so I acknowledge that mentioning other victims might be controversial for some, but it would still be a damn sight better than what Trump excreted.)
Iâm assuming President Bannon just couldnât bring himself to write anything that might smack of sympathy for Jews.
OK, so thereâs no reason to expect stuff posted on Sputnik to make any sense, but this is a whole new level of nuttiness.
I mean, it starts from an unstated premise that the collapse of the Warsaw Pact was a bad thing, and then gets worse. Reaching this conclusion in the end:
Yes, itâs directly comparing Trump to the puppet leaders of East Germany and communist Poland at the time of their collapse.
I really canât even. The piece could just as easily be an elaborate driving trollies of Sputnik by some dedicated prankster acting as a contributor, regular driving trollies by Sputnik aimed at the most unhinged segments of their audience, or an internal Kremlin memo that accidentally got translated into English and posted online.
This is precisely the same shit that Momentum / the Labour Party got into last year in the UK.
Like Nixonâs plan to end the war in Vietnam.
In Act One (after the intro), producer Zoe Chace attends the DeploraBall, a party for trolls and others who say they memed Trump into the presidency.
I didnât get much out of the rest of the show, but that first act was an eye-opener.
Nixonâs way of dealing with Vietnam was to work with N. Vietnam via Claire Lee Chennault to block the peace accords before he was elected to damage McGovern, which is really a special kind of evil. It was long suspected, but they found the notes to prove it:
While thereâs no good proof of a deal, thereâs abundant evidence the Reagan campaign staff was communicating with Iran before the election, and the sudden release of hostages on his inauguration seems like a deal was made there too.
Trumpâs handlers appear to have taken that one up to eleven by working with Russia to interfere in the US election - no hard proof yet, but given his crew and their known regular contacts with Russia during the election it would be more shocking if they werenât.
Thursdayâs Daily Show was pretty good:
Fox, official mouthpiece of the apocalypse, has posted this and left it up:

The perp is Alexandre Bissonnette, quebecois white nationalist:
Itâs like those times where Republican Senators did something wrong and Fox identified them as Democrats.
Or when they said that Egypt is somehow NOT located on the continent of Africa;
Iraq Iran has WMDs and is run by an evil tyrant. The people there suffer and deserve freedom. They will surely greet us with candy and flowers.
Okay, who had âLess than 2 weeks before starting war with Iranâ in the sweepstakes?
It goes beyond that, though she was a particularily nasty brand of asshole (she claimed Richard Spencer wasnât racist only trolling PC culture). Twitter is the surface level of trolls who latch onto memes to carry their general awfulness into public, /pol/ calls the election the meme wars and the joke of cult of kek is being taken literal by some.
As for the rest of that episode, it shows a few things. A border patrol agent complaining that he was forced to show basic human decency to people crossing the border, saying he Trump was there guy because they would let him do his job of protecting the border instead of being forced to give people water and drive them to jail. He makes no mention of what that dream of his is, but he does make sure to say Trumpâs vision for a wall was of a figurative wall and that a literal one is useless.
Then you have the carrier employees who are basically a microcosm of the Midwest justification for voting Trump; he was that business guy on TV and probably wouldnât do all those awful things he said he would. Then they come back and see he makes the Carrier deal about himself and showed the employees that the company is who made out on the deal and not them.
Iâm betting on June, though itâs so hard to tell. He went from 0 to Nixon in 10 days, and with Brannon on the Security Council that really could accelerate things.
Sponsored by a Democrat?
Good to see The Beast Of Bolsover spitting straight fire in parliament. Made SBS news tonight. 
Not so fast there, sparky:
Also this is funny and true;
