monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

More importantly, the US is not the world's police. Their neighbors have more responsibility for what's going on. The UN should be the one to make any military decision.

So should there be any federal environmental standards?

But if we choose to do so, we have the right to slaughter anyone who tries to stop us.

Well, the following is mightily depressing. I have the feeling as more far right conservatives retain power, I am not going to be comfortable with much of anything in the coming years.

Legally it might be likely Trump can pass this off as a security measure against "terrorist" so it will eventually pass as long as the language is careful enough not to make a distinction between Muslims and minority religions in the countries affected by the travel ban or to affect individual states adversely.

However, in reality it is nothing but a bill designed for Trump to carry out his campaign promise of keeping Muslims out of the US.

This will sound terrible, but rather than some 59 bombs that don't matter for reasons that aren't our business, we should make a couple of bombs unforgettable when it is undeniably our business.

Opposing atrocities is very much our business.

It's more than a pity that this administration is not clear on what Hitler in fact did.

Adolph was recognised for his socialist policies, ...

These are verifiable facts.

Greatest single news event of 1938 took place on September 29, when four statesmen met at the Führerhaus, in Munich, to redraw the map of Europe. The three visiting statesmen at that historic conference were Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain, Premier Edouard Daladier of France, and Dictator Benito Mussolini of Italy. But by all odds the dominating figure at Munich was the German host, Adolf Hitler.

Führer of the German people, Commander-in-Chief of the German Army, Navy & Air Force, Chancellor of the Third Reich, Herr Hitler reaped on that day at Munich the harvest of an audacious, defiant, ruthless foreign policy he had pursued for five and a half years. He had torn the Treaty of Versailles to shreds. He had rearmed Germany to the teeth— or as close to the teeth as he was able. He had stolen Austria before the eyes of a horrified and apparently impotent world.

At first, the Trump administration deliberately ignored the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Now again. (Sean Spicer claimed that Hitler did not use chemical agents to kill people during the Second World War.)
First the Nazi regime murdered German citizens. Then it murdered others.
And "holocaust centers" are and were known as 'concentration camps'.

It's more than a pity that this administration is not clear on what Hitler in fact did.

Clearly he was envisioning scenarios where military weapons were used to attack civilians out in public. As such, the events of the Holocaust tended to not match the scenarios that he was thinking of.

There is certainly folly in his trying to compare the the magnitude of different atrocities, but claims that he either was denying the Holocaust or was ignorant of it are just silly.

Do you now consider the Holocaust Museum to be "Leftist" as well?

Is naming 'concentration camps' now "holocaust centers" the correct way?

Weren't German Jews Germans?

Btw: in the chemical agent factory in Dyhernfurth an der Oder, codenamed "Hochwerk", at least 12,000 metric tons of this agent were manufactured between 1942 and 1945 - it just couldn't be used to various (known) reasons.

In a statement to Fox News, Page said he was "excited the truth is coming out."

'I have done nothing wrong. I have no concerns," Page added. "I was an obvious target because no one has been more thoughtful and methodical in their criticism of the Clinton/Obama administration foreign policy."

Page, who was working as an energy consultant at the time, acknowledged that he "shared basic immaterial information and publicly available research documents" with the operative, Victor Podobnyy. He described the information as "nothing more than a few samples from the far more detailed lectures" he delivered at New York University in 2013.

In an interview with Fox News last month, Page said he had been victimized by a "false narrative" surrounding his contacts with Russian officials.

"I did nothing that could even possibly be viewed as helping them in any way," Page said at the time.

According to court documents filed earlier this month in connection with a separate espionage case, the Russian tried to recruit Page as an intelligence source.
