The Hitlerian behavior just doesn’t stop with these dangerous, angry morons. Trump’s enraged little Jewish Josef Goebbels, Stephen Miller, during the El Salvador dictator’s staged visit yesterday, announced in the Oval Office that “the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 … in our favor” and that “the Supreme Court said that the district court order was unlawful and its main components were reversed 9–0 unanimously.”
In non-MAGA world, the Supreme Court actually ruled 9-0 that the unlawfully kidnapped, rendered and indefinitely detained Abrego Garcia, must be brought back to the US to be heard, as due process requires under our constitution. Miller flat out lied, claiming the exact opposite of what the 9-0 Supreme Court ruled in their shadow docket decision. Tens of millions of credulous low-information Americans will hear Miller’s lie and believe him, because, if a man who the president trusts that much said it, it must be true. People are saying it’s true, in ways nobody has ever seen before. Unless you’ve ever read a history of the Third Reich.
It is amazing to me, and horrifying, that Trump manages to hit every single one of Hitler’s notes in this incoherent, atonal aria he is constantly improvising. When Hitler was trying out mass murder for the German people, it was Germans in mental wards he executed. These people, incurably insane, severely disabled, physically or mentally, were, according to the Führer, “useless eaters” who only consumed food healthy German warriors needed, and took shits. These useless eaters were living “lives unworthy of life” (Lebensunwertes Leben). They were unproductive, a drag on Germany’s greatness and it was a mercy to euthanize them, according to the greatest living German genius and the embodiment of the soul of Germany, at that time, Adolf Hitler.
Today, as reported by Heather Cox Richardson, it turns out Trump has plans for this same kind of person, born without a multimillion dollar inheritance — the unproductive ones. There is nothing this demented, psychopathic motherfucker is doing or saying, or having his loyal sychophants say, that is not straight out of Herr Hitler’s foul mouth. Here’s a nice bit of improv from the once and future American Leader, as Charles Koch’s network was maneuvering the justice-evading serial felon back into power, backed by the might of a billionaire funded army of true believers in American oligarchic fascism:
[Trump] continued [talking to Musk on X in 2024 about foreign leaders kicking people out of their countries to migrate in caravans to the US]: “The fact is, it’s brilliant for them because they’re taking all of their bad people, really bad people and—I hate to say this—the reason the numbers are much bigger than you would think is they’re also taking their nonproductive people. Now these aren’t people that will kill you…but these are people that are nonproductive. They are just not productive, I mean, for whatever reason. They’re not workers or they don’t want to work, or whatever, and these countries are getting rid of nonproductive people in the caravans…and they’re also getting rid of their murderers and their drug dealers and the people that are really brutal people….”
It will not stop with an innocent immigrant living legally and productively (he’s a working member of an American labor union) in Maryland who is jammed into a car by masked ICE agents and illegally disappeared into a foreign dictator’s notorious mega-prison for “terrorists.” As I mentioned yesterday, call someone a “terrorist” and you are halfway to convincing millions that the guy deserves whatever he gets. Torture is too good for Abrego Garcia, say a million ignorant voices, ten million. If a person commits a crime, they are arrested and prosecuted, and if found guilty by a jury, sentenced to some kind of punishment. If an insane dotard can declare that an innocent person, charged with no crime and rendered due to “administrative error” to an infamous prison, for indefinite detention, and refuse to comply with a 9-0 Supreme Court decision stating that the rendered man must be returned to the US for a hearing, then we have our American Hitler. As stupid, vain and psychopathic as the original. And obeyed by his ambitious, loyal, ass-licking cultists, to the end.
