I don't believe Obama was worse than Hitler. He was incompetent and arrogant. Every time I think of Obama, I think of the Peter Principle.

Is the Peter Principle where you fondle yourself?

Because, yeah, I do that too when I think about him. He is soooo dreamy.

I have to subscribe to the “Pete Principle.” Size matters......

The Constitution will stop us from ever seeing if Trump is Hitler level of bad. Also his own clownishness will stand in the way.

Trump is in the top one percent as far as vile human beings go. He shows a willingness to play on that slippery slope to Hitler-style xenophobia. But he's too incompetent, and our nation's political infrastructure is still too strong, for him to rise to Hitler level heights of depravity.


Edit: Oh, the subject is climate change. Well, in that sense, yes, Trump has enough power and the apparent propensity to be responsible for more net damage to human life than Hitler was.

I was unaware of that quote.

Classic.

For the sake of clarification, the quote attributed to Trump was satire. I know some of you know that, but without spelling it out, some people will walk away from this thinking it's a real thing.

The Burrard Street Journal is an online satire news website based in Vancouver, BC. The site gained notoriety in August 2016 after a number of websites reported a BSJ article about then President Obama moving to Canada as fact.

yawn...

Just another talking potato head trying to out rhetoric the other talking potato heads through the use of spin, speculation, innuendo, a LOT of hyperbole...and a few lies.

Moving on...

He say words I no likey!



You even seemed to have missed the fact that Bucky was citing a breitbart article and agreeing with its criticism of things allegedly said by Chomsky. So was that "Just another talking potato head trying to out rhetoric the other talking potato heads through the use of spin, speculation, innuendo, a LOT of hyperbole...and a few lies." I'm glad you think the breitbart article-writer was garbage.

Or is Chomsky the "potato head" while the guy who wrote the breitbart article is magically not?

Hard to blame people for believing satirical quotes attributed to Trump. Trump says so many Onion-worthy things that it's hard to keep track of what's real and what's parody. I'm frequently doublechecking that something is not parody before I reply to a thread about it.

Okay, I was suckered.
Doesn't happen often and I should have known better being from the Vancouver area but there it is.

Yep, it is completely believable. It is satire. I am sure for some, it is surprising he didn't say that. :lol:

For the record, the second one with the Texas Congressman is real. He did apologize after he said it.

He doesn't literally say Trump is worse than Hitler. He says Trump is knowingly contributing to global warming and thus the possible destruction of human life. He essentially says that even Hitler didn't go that far.

Here's the quote:

We have to make decisions now which will literally determine whether organized human life can survive in any decent form. You can just imagine what the world would be like if the sea level rises, say, 10 or 20 feet or even higher, which is within the range—easily within the range of predictions. I mean, the consequences are unimaginable. But it’s as if we’re kind of like the proverbial lemmings just happily marching off the cliff, led by leaders who understand very well what they’re doing, but are so dedicated to enriching themselves and their friends in the near future that it simply doesn’t matter what happens to the human species. There’s nothing like this in all of human history. There have been plenty of monsters in the past, plenty of them. But you can’t find one who was dedicated, with passion, to destroying the prospects for organized human life. Hitler was horrible enough, but not that.

It's a little idiotic and dishonest to reduce what he said to "Trump worse than Hitler" don't you agree?

And every time I think of Trump I think of the mushroom in Mario Cart.
