Once AGAIN your bible let you down. As you know, it was a journalist who posed that possibility, not Donald Trump.

Again, Nazi's are YOUR thing, no one else's. Remember, for years you used the name of Adolph Hitler's personal train as your secret, Nazi signature.

You also are lockstep in line with Hitler's Socialist belief's.

Ranking Democrat Diane Feinstein on the Senate Intelligence Committee co-senator from CALIF. with Barbara Boxer.  Along with many others have spoken out against President Obama.  

So please guys, don't be left behind.

Feinstein says Islamic State stronger, criticizes U.S. approach
WASHINGTON | BY DOINA CHIACU

Leading Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein said on Sunday the United States is not doing enough to fight Islamic State, and the group is gaining strength outside Iraq and Syria.

Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, said Secretary of State John Kerry gave the panel a more comprehensive picture last week of the U.S. strategy to combat Islamic State, including talks in Vienna to find a diplomatic solution to the Syrian crisis.

However, she said on CBS, "I don't think the approach is sufficient to the job."

As history fans know, Hitler uttered those words while seeking to persuade Germans to his cause. Like most dedicated politicians he said whatever he thought would work for him. The reality is he never did any of the things his speech promised. None of them. Nada.

Actually, I agree with everything he says in Markle's memorial tribute to his idol. Had Hitler actually done what he promised in that speech, he would have been a great leader and the world, WWII would have been avoided and our world have been a better place. Markle, of course, is a full believer that government should be owned and operated by the ultra rich. So it figures he relishes the idea of painting true democracy and economic fairness as an evil, Nazi-like horror show. Poor old curmudgeon ....

Nothing to be left behind about. The President has been consistent and certain that he wants to degrade ISIS. That has been his strategy which clearly does not involve American boots on the ground or America going Rambo. His strategy has worked. Others are finally putting their dollars where their mouths once were. The President in the face of criticism for not going Rambo on ISIS has stayed the course. ISIS can only win when the President repeats the mistakes of George Bush, and yes there were Democrats in Congress who supported that mistake. Leadership is often a lonely path. One where intelligence and courage demand not to cave to panic and fear which exposes this nation to greater losses. Again, ISIS will kill Americans. They will be all but eliminated over the next ten years, but in the mean time the panic and fear must be met with steadfast courage and patience. Stay the course President Obama, and get America out of the Middle East.

I want to make it absolutely clear to all my fellow forum members, that I absolutely agree with every single word of this alleged statement of Hitler in Markle's recurring cliche of frustration.  If only Hitler had meant it!  But, as things turned out, as it is with most right wing, fascistic politicians seeking public support, Hitler was just like Trump, Carson, Cruz, Huckabee etc.  He'd say anything he thought might improve his single-minded cause -- to rule over everyone.

Reality!

Hitler was no socialist. He was in the pocket of the wealthy German (and American) industrialists who stood to profit from the war machine. Sound familiar? It should.

How can any of the Republican candidates be like your messiah? It is your nominee, Bernie Sanders who wants to give away EVERYTHING. Is Bernie Sanders NOT offering $18 TRILLION in freebies for votes?

AGAIN, you simply reinforced what I posted previously. Good to see your affection for mass murderer Adolph Hitler. You must be so proud! Bet you have a Nazi flag draped in your living room!

No Markle, I hate Hitler --- my Dad's family was murdered by Hitler's Ukrainian allies. And unlike you, I don't have ANY Nazi photos or regalia in my home. As for Bernie's promises, the one that galls you the most is his promise to tax the ultra rich to pay for free college and healthcare. Go Bernie, Go!

No, his promise to tax the ultra rich is not a bother to me. It would never make it through congress and if it did, they don't have enough money.

We'll be $20 TRILLION in debt by the time semi-retired President Obama leaves office and your messiah Bernie Sanders wants to add at least another $18 TRILLION.

Wanting that for our country is treason.

If Ronnie Raygun is your best example of a traditional Republican, you are really in trouble. He may be held up as a sterling example, but in fact he was a dangerous radical who should have been impeached over Iran/Contra...and what he did to the economy was inexcusable.

Rand's problem includes daddy dearest.

After years of investigation by the Department of Justice, three top Rand Paul associates, including the senator's nephew-in-law, were indicted for their role in an alleged attempt to buy an influential Iowa state senator's endorsement of Ron Paul during his 2012 presidential campaign. None of these operatives, who served as top Ron Paul campaign aides, is currently on the payroll of Rand Paul's presidential campaign. But two of them—Jesse Benton, who is married to Paul's niece, and John Tate—run a pro-Rand Paul super-PACs that has raised $3.1 million to support Paul's presidential campaign.* The third man indicted, Dimitri Kesari, has served as an aide to both Rand Paul and his father.

Last year, former Republican Iowa state Sen. Kent Sorenson pleaded guilty to campaign finance charges accusing him of helping to cover up a scheme for the Ron Paul campaign to pay him more than $70,000 to switch his endorsement immediately before the 2012 Iowa caucus, from Michele Bachmann to Ron Paul. Sorenson has been awaiting sentencing pending his cooperation in a further investigation, but it hasn't been clear who on Ron Paul's staff would be caught up in the scandal. At the time Benton served as the campaign's chairman, Tate as the campaign manager, and Kesari as the deputy campaign manager.

All three men were charged with criminal conspiracy and federal charges related to falsification of government records. Tate and Benton face charges of making false statements to federal investigators; Kesari was indicted on one count of obstruction of justice for allegedly trying to persuade Sorenson to deny the scheme when pressed by prosecutors.

According to the indictment, Sorenson negotiated with the Paul aides and eventually met with Kesari in an Iowa restaurant, where the Paul aide passed him a $25,000 check. The check was never cashed, however, and eventually wound up in the hands of an Iowa special prosecutor investigating a possible breach in ethics rules by Sorenson. Under federal law, the campaign could have legally paid Sorenson openly, but Iowa Senate rules prohibit lawmakers from receiving compensation for their endorsements. According to prosecutors, the campaign instead routed the payments through a Maryland audio-visual company connected to Kesari's brother. During the course of the Iowa investigation, Sorenson acknowledged receiving $73,000 from the Maryland company but couldn't explain why that was. Paul campaign records show the campaign paid the Maryland company roughly $82,000. Though Sorenson pleaded guilty to taking the money and lying to investigators about where it came from, his indictment did not name who authorized the payments.

The federal investigation has been spun by Paul insiders as the result of complaints by a disgruntled former Ron Paul supporter, Virginia conservative operative Dennis Fusaro. Fusaro certainly stoked the investigation by leaking emails to reporters showing Benton, Tate, and Kesari corresponding with Sorenson associates, as well as an audio recording of Sorenson admitting his role. Last summer, a leaked grand jury subpoena showed that that Justice Department investigators were casting a wide net in their pursuit of the case, demanding email records from much of the 2012 staff and even Ron Paul himself.

The indictment makes clear that investigators found incriminating correspondence. Included in the indictment are details of email conversations between the Paul aides about authorization of the payments to the audio-visual equipment company. Other emails show them responding to others on the campaign staff about the payments. In one email exchange described in the indictment, from June 2012, an invoice from the AV company led Tate to ask Kesari, "What is this? What is it for, who is it? Why do we keep paying them? The last payment was supposedly the last."

Kesari responded: "This is the last payment for kent Sorenson [sic]. The deal jesse agreed to with kent."

Tate approved the payment.

After media reports about the brewing scandal broke in September 2013, the indictment alleges, Kesari flew to Nebraska and then drove to Iowa to meet with Sorenson. Kesari allegedly asked Sorenson to prove he wasn't wearing a recording device and then demanded he return the $25,000 check he had earlier given to him. Kesari also allegedly tried to convince Sorenson not to discuss the campaign's role in the payments with federal investigators.

While Kesari, Benton, and Tate are not working for Rand Paul's campaign, their indictment creates a major controversy for the candidate on the eve of the first GOP debate. In a statement to BuzzFeed's Rosie Gray, Ron Paul questioned the timing of the indictment against his former staffer: "I think the timing of this indictment is highly suspicious given the fact that the first primary debate is tomorrow." Rand Paul's campaign raised a little more than $7 million in the second quarter of the year, and the three super-PACs supporting his presidential bid have raised some $6 million. The largest, America's Liberty PAC, is run by Tate and Benton, who also leads Campaign for Liberty, a politically active nonprofit founded by Ron Paul. With $3.1 million in cash on hand, the super-PAC is a major part of Paul's campaign apparatus and has already released videos attacking his opponents.

Benton, who is married to Ron Paul's granddaughter, became something of a hot commodity in the world of conservative politics following the 2012 Ron Paul campaign, which was seen as remarkably successful despite Paul's defeat. In late 2012, he was hired by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to be his campaign manager. Kesari was also hired to work for McConnell.

Benton resigned from McConnell's campaign last August after Sorenson pleaded guilty, but he reemerged in March as the head of the pro-Rand Paul super-PAC.

Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell announced the indictments today, saying the Justice Department would take any illegal campaign finance activity very seriously. "When political operatives make under-the-table payments to buy an elected official's political support, it undermines public confidence in our entire political system," Caldwell said.

Kesari was arraigned today in an Iowa court, and Benton and Tate will be arraigned on September 3. The Rand Paul campaign has yet to release a statement on the indictments.
