  1. On 27 February 1933, as the campaign moved into its final, frantic days, the Reichstag, the German Parliament building, was set on fire and burnt down. An atmosphere of panic and terror followed the event.

    This continued when a young Dutch communist, Van der Lubbe was arrested for the crime.

    The Nazi Party used the atmosphere of panic to their advantage, encouraging anti-communism. Gรถring declared that the communists had planned a national uprising to overthrow the Weimar Republic. This hysteria helped to turn the public against the communists, one of the Nazis main opponents, and 4000 people were imprisoned.

    The day after the fire, Hindenburg signed the Emergency Decree for the Protection of the German People. BBC CNN ABC MSNBC CBS NBC NPR

  2. Reminder: The day we no longer hear Trump’s name or hear his voice or see Trump Jr., Eric or Ivanka, will be the happiest days of our life.

      No it won’t, all of the sudden your previously meaningless life will return without your valiant struggle against the orange menace.

  3. Of course Trump was watching person, woman, man, camera, TV in the dining room (itโ€™s his favorite room). We can’t be 100% sure that no ketchup touched the walls that day..๐Ÿฅต

  4. An assistant to Donald Trump told him she had a fantastic dream last night. There was a huge parade down Pennsylvania Avenue celebrating him. Millions lined the parade route, cheering when the President went past. Bands were playing; children were throwing confetti into the air, there were balloons everywhere.

    It was the biggest celebration Washington had ever seen. Trump was very impressed and said, “That’s really great! By the way, how did I look in your dream? Was my hair okay?”

    His assistant said, “I couldn’t tell, the coffin was closed.

    1. That parade will happen
      But not soon enough. If he thinks CNN is tough on him wait until he faces his creator ๐Ÿคฃ . Not even those southern holy rollers will be able to help him . You’ll be on your own. RUmp

  5. โ€œIt’s no longer a question of if the Former American President is a Traitor, but rather if Republican voters are still Americans.โ€

  6. WE’RE SICK OF HEARING ABOUT ISSUING SUBPOENAS. WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS.
    JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED. DO YOUR JOB, U.S. GOVERNMENT.

    1. Don’t worry November isn’t far away. We will be seeing a lot of arrests and trials. It’s gonna be epic.

    1. Michael put your reply on Facebook. I’ve been trying to convince many people that they have been conned some twice and still don’t realize it.

    2. โ€œIf you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.โ€

    1. @A T Wishful thinking AT. In a weird turn of events, abortion, guns and a coup plot are muddying the water in what was a few weeks ago an economy-only discussion. It seems the GOP a doing a Bill Buckner performance.

  9. The reason why he wanted it crossed out is cuz he’s along with the rioters they’re his people he sent them there he wanted them to delay the certification so he could remain in power for himself. It is that simple he is guilty

  10. They must ask Ginni what she thinks about reforming Loving v. Virginia (1967) [Inter-racial marriage], and leaving it to the states to legislate.
    There’d be a tonne of Bible Belt red states that would refuse to allow inter-racial marriage, including her own.

    1. Civil rights are not up to the states to decide, that’s what the constitution is for, and don’t try saying “but the 10th…” The 10th only applies to things that are not in the constitution, while marriage rights have always been in the constitution, so the 10th doesn’t apply… Also speration of church and state, religion is not allowed to dictate legislation, doing so is illegal.

    2. @Aaron Abernethy legislation is also not allowed to dictate religion, which is what marriage is.

    1. Like making people believe a big lie and bullying them in their e mail for donations and soaking donations

  11. Duh!!! You dont know why he wanted it crossed out?!
    It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer to that question…he wanted it crossed out because he sent them there to do exactly what they did!!! So obviously he can’t say that to them after they followed HIS DIRECTIONS !!!
    GEEZ!!!

    1. He crossed it out because they were things he didn’t want in the speech. There is nothing criminal about editing a speech.

  12. First thing crossed out–“Good afternoon.” And now we all know “yesterday” was removed because it was a problem for him to pronounce it. Also, he was not at all “sickened” by the violence, he relished it.

  13. The fact that he crossed out key parts of his speech shows that he still did support them but did not want to say it publicly as it would make him seem even worse in his own mind.

    1. Notice too that he had someone write it for him because he could never compose anything about that day that would have been decent and still he had to screw with the wording. What he hated is that the Congress held and finished their duty.

  14. The Witch hunt continuesโ€ฆ. When are they going to tell us something we didnโ€™t know the day after?

    1. Andโ€ฆyouโ€™re okay with what you know? No further questions required? No consequences for those responsible?

  15. โ€œAmerica must be a nation of law and orderโ€…on paper…cross out the actual justice part…Jesus help us
