Trump copies Hitler.

Seriously

A globalist is a person that wants the globe to do well, frankly not caring about the country so much. You know, we can't have that. You know they have a word, it sort of became old fashioned, it's called a nationalist. And I say really, we're not supposed to use that word. You know what I am, I'm a nationalist. Use that word.
It's true that Trump's verbiage is a bit old-fashioned, in the sense that it comes from the 1930s, and the pen of a fellow named Hitler. What the Donald said is close to a blow-by-blow re-creation of the logic underlying the "stab in the back" theory, which was the Führer's notion that Germany was enmeshed in a struggle between nationalists (like him) and globalists (i.e., the Jews). He argued that World War I was not really about the military defeat of Germany, but instead about the how the globalists seized an opportunity to gain the upper hand, and to squeeze the German people for all they were worth.

Where is all of this coming from? It's clear that Trump is trying to project strength right now (see above) in hopes of rallying the base. Still, even by his standards, this is a bit unusual. He probably hasn't been reading Mein Kampf, nor does this sound like something that would be on Fox News. What it does sound like is something Steve Bannon would say. Reportedly, Bannon and Trump still talk sometimes; maybe they had a phone conversation while the President was on the way to the rally. In any event, the crowd was thrilled by it all, and chanted "USA! USA! USA!" so it's likely we will hear more talk like this at the next rally. (Z)

It's the SuperPAC of the highest ranking member of Congressional Leadership. As far as names go, that one is pretty straightforward.

so what happens when congress flips? do they have to change the name of the PAC? I too think it's vague...so maybe it's good on the "as far as PAC names go" scale, but all in all not good.

CLF dunno what will happen to it for sure because it is Ryan's and he's retiring, but would guess McCarthy would pick it up. No need to change the name as he'll still be Leader, just Minority Leader most likely. The main GOP SuperPAC in the Senate is Senate Leadership Fund.

The two major Dem PACs are Senate Majority PAC and House Majority PAC. They're more aspirational in their names, at least for another two weeks.

Feinstein took the bait, kavanaugh got up there and acted the way they told him, irreverent and superior, and it got the fascists all riled up.

Donald never heard that "nationalist" has a racial overtones. He has all the best words, and no idea what these mean.

Also in his pile of best information, he said that "there is no proof of anything", but he knows that there are middle easterners mingled in with the migrants.

@ the office yesterday I head my favorite flake say that 'we need to be honest about the caravan and call it what it is... an invasion.'

Oh, those tax cuts for the middle class that will be voted on after the midterms will not get passed unless you vote TRUMP! Get out there and get your vote bought.

I had my concerns about affording Bernie, but I am not sure we can afford much more of Donald's strategy.

Who the fuck is going to pay for everything?!

They'll cut social insurance programs. It's their white whale.

If the average voter knew what they were actually trying to do, they would lose both the House and Senate. They thrive on keeping their supporters distracted.

As an aside, there's no way this caravan wasn't born out of some GOP (or Russian) effort to throw their voters red meat. Dems are already very engaged, so watching immigrants beaten and humiliated (or whatever it is they decide to do to them) won't get dems any more engaged. But it will engage GOP voters and that's all they need to do to hold the House. The fact that Trump keeps saying it's a Dem plot is exactly what he would do if it was a GOP/Russian plot. The timing is too on the nose. Why the Hell would dems send a caravan to the border and get GOP supporters in a tizzy? It makes zero sense.

It's still not transparent to the average voter. I'm talking names or "disclaimers" which reflect their partisanship.

the point of super PACs is to not be transparent
