monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

His lawyers are devising a defensive strategy. It's what they are paid to do.
I'm sure that no Democrat faced with legal jeopardy would ever stoop to such a foul device!

Somehow you didn't notice that the quote you reference says nothing about Trump's defense team. It is entirely concerned with how the WH PR operations, in tandem with right wing media, will set about back-stopping Trump and doing so with absolutely no concern for what Meuller's investigation reveals. They'll smear Flynn, if needed. They'll smear Meuller, if needed. They'll smear the FBI, if needed. They'll smear women who recount sexual assaults by Trump, if needed.

Many modern US right wing types can be counted on to speak and behave as lunatics when guns are at issue.

Support for freedom and civil rights is hardly lunacy.

GOP strategists will be well aware of the electoral risks they face with an energized and activist women's movement. Though they are already quite expert at demeaning women, I have few doubts that they'll find ways to do more of this.

Demeaning feminist nutbags is not demeaning women in general.

And the fact that there was a schism would seem to suggest that not all Evangelicals supported Hitler.

It not only that it seems so: people like Niemöller and Bonhoeffer from the Evangelical Church, Cardinal von Galen and Edith Stein on the Catholic side are actually known outside Europe as well.

propaganda

You are still without a coherent set of notions regarding what constitutes "propaganda". But I'm optimistic that this will never change.

Quote:

The task force studied countries like the United States, Britain, France, Canada, Germany and Japan.
In the end, Taiwan chose to adopt a single-payer system like that found in Medicare or in Canada, not a government-run system like Britain’s.

At least the author isn't a delusional nutbag who claims that every single alternative to the American system is single payer.

I think it would do the left a bit of good to stop focusing so much on single payer though, even though this particular author does know what he is talking about. First, most of the left are delusional about what the term means, and major policy decisions should never be based on delusions. And second, the competition inherent to the German model would be a much better fit for American values.

I missed Lash's claim that #MeToo is a plot against President Trump. If she's actually claimed this, she's lost all credibility with me; and I feel like a fool because I was sympathetic to her point of view.

Lash is right. The only purpose of these feminist nutbags and their extremist outbursts is to try to damage Republicans.

Oh, I know propaganda when I see it, and I see it in the volume of your posts.

@hightor,

It seemed it might be the case, but considering how well regarded I am here I now realize it was foolish of me.

@Walter Hinteler,

Walter - With all due respect, are you ever capable of responding coherently and to the point?

Whether or not those individuals are known within or without Europe is meaningless as respects the question of whether or not all of the German Evangelical movement supported Hitler.

@oralloy,

The president mentioned that a health insurance plan was possibly in the works; it will be interesting to see what his people come up with. Do you think the ACA could have worked if it hadn't been turned into a partisan issue, and efforts were made to deal with the inevitable problems involved in trying to implement a 3000 page bill affecting an industry representing 18% of the economy? I suspect that any Republican plan will be big on medical savings accounts (shrinking the tax base) with very little in the way of subsidies or specified procedures.

Actually, I tried to explain that, namely with naming some of the most well-known Evangelical and Catholic German resistance fighters.

Quote:

The Confessional Church as a whole did not offer resistance in a political sense, with the intent of bringing down the National Socialist regime. It fought first to keep its organizational structures intact, and then to preserve the independence of church doctrine, according to which the Christian commandments were not to be subordinated to Nazi ideology.... [yet] the adherents of the Church found themselves increasingly in a state of principled opposition to both the state and the German Christians...they opposed a faith that was blended with anti-Semitism and neo-Pagan heresies ...[such as] a "heroic Jesus" and a faith founded on race, Volkstum and nation.

Quote from Benz, Wolfgang: A Concise History of the Third Reich, University of California Press, 2006

Hell, although it can be challenging at times, I still hold you in high regard.
