'A statement from Assange’s lawyer Jennifer Robinson shows “Mr Rohrabacher going to see Mr Assange and saying, on instructions from the president, he was offering a pardon or some other way out, if Mr Assange … said Russia had nothing to do with the DNC [Democratic National Committee] leaks”, Fitzgerald told Westminster magistrates court.'

More Americans Supported Hitler Than You May Think. Here's Why One Expert Thinks That History Isn't Better Known

"It was also possible for those who had participated in Nazi-sympathetic groups to later cloak their beliefs in the Cold War’s anti-communist push — a dynamic that had in fact driven some of them to fascism in the first place, as it seemed “tougher on communism than democracy is,” as Hart puts it. (One survey he cites found that in 1938, more Americans thought that communism was worse than fascism than vice versa.) Such people could truthfully insist that they’d always been anti-communist without revealing that they’d been fascists, and their fellow Americans were still so worried about communism that they might not press the matter."

@coluber2001,

And this post serves a purpose? The only thing I can see it doing is dividing more people and enable more name calling.

If you have to ask, then you are dimmer than previously thought.

It (the article) indicates the unknown and unreported amount of support certain issues may have.

George Zimmerman sues Warren and Buttigieg for defamation

Quote:
Zimmerman's lawsuit claims the presidential candidates defamed him by implying that he had racist or white supremacist motivations or ideologies behind the murder.

"It is high time that the cheap and harmful use of the race card by politicians of all stripes be made to cease and desist," Larry Klayman, Zimmerman's attorney and founder of Judicial Watch, said in a statement. "Their despicable 'race tactics' are not only causing great harm to persons such as my client George Zimmerman, but also are damaging relations between black and white Americans who are all brothers."

The attorney is right. This pandering and race baiting is bad news.

In 1938? No need for it except to call people Nazis.

What is it with you that makes you belittle the intelligence of people who are smarter than you are?

I take it as indicating how people are. Additionally, keep in mind the phrase, History repeats itself.

Being the resident self-proclaimed 'genius', shouldn't you be able to answer this? Or is it beneath you?

@Sturgis,
It is in fact beneath me. And it would be pretty unflattering to you if I did go into detail as to why you do stuff like that.

Just take my word for it that you are better off not casting aspersions on other people's intelligence.

If you disagree with someone's points, just politely say why you believe that they are wrong.

Chronology matters:
The meeting and the offer were made ten months after Julian Assange had already independently stated Russia was not the source of the DNC publication.
The witness statement is one of the many bombshells from the defence to come

Due to Trump’s Immigration Crackdown, Immigrants Flock to Canada Instead of the United States

That is a good place for them. Trump's policies are working.

Quote:
President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown has foreigners flooding to Canada instead of the United States, according to an analysis from Forbes.

Recent data shows that the number of foreigners immigrating to Canada rose a remarkable 26 percent from 2015-2019 while the number of legal immigrants coming into the U.S. fell by 7 percent from fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2018. This number is expected to decrease further as Trump continues to enact his agenda, with a potential second term just around the corner.

You know that is not true. I would ask for examples but there are none. Not that you would produce any since you never back up what you say. Cheer up, at least you are consistent.

It is on the contrary completely true. Oralloy regularly insults those he disagrees with.

You cannot provide any examples of me engaging in name-calling other than fair and equal retaliation against name-calling that was directed at me first.
