This Yr. In Nazis

JD Vance is Merely the Latest Conservative Christian to Use Nazi Camps to Cleanse His Antisemitism Sins
These people are Nazi scum.
On Thursday of this past week, Vice President JD Vance visited the site of the Dachau concentration camp in Germany, making him the latest in a string of American public officials to visit a former Nazi camp. The visit, timed to coincide with Vance’s trip to Germany for the Munich Security Conference, comes a year after Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest person and newly-installed most powerful person in the United States, visited Auschwitz last January.

It’s worth recalling the circumstances that led to Musk’s visit to Auschwitz a year ago. The visit came after months of antisemitic statements, including using his social media platform X to boost conspiracy theories accusing Jews of “flooding their country” with “hordes of minorities”; threatening to sue the Anti-Defamation League for being the “biggest generators of anti-Semitism”; and accusing Hungarian-born Jewish Holocaust survivor George Soros of attempting to “erode the very fabric of civilization” because he “hates humanity.”

Finally, in the wake of a threatened advertiser boycott with the potential to harm Musk’s bottom line, he did what any wealthy celebrity accused of antisemitism does these days: he made a ritualized visit to a concentration camp or Holocaust museum to have his sins of bigotry washed clean. (In Musk’s case, he also made a similarly ritualized visit to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu who, of course, has a long history of giving kosher passes to far-right antisemites in exchange for their support for the most right-wing elements within the Israeli government.) Musk’s brief trip to Auschwitz was enough to win instant forgiveness for his sins of antisemitism.

Except, of course, Musk was not radically, instantaneously transformed by his time at Auschwitz. He was not magically cleansed of his antisemitism. In the year after his trip to the infamous Nazi concentration camp, Musk reinstated the accounts of Holocaust deniers and praised a Holocaust revisionist historian. In just the past month alone, Musk infamously performed a Nazi salute at a Trump inauguration rally; joked about the Holocaust; told supporters of the German far-right party Alternative for Germany that Germany needs to “move beyond” its historical guilt for the Holocaust; and reinstated a briefly-fired 25-year-old government employee who had bragged about being “racist before it was cool” and called for the repeal of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

There is not enough rain to cleanse the streets of filth & scum, but I will nonetheless see each & every one of you even deader than your current brain-dead numbness.

Wall St. Wk.

I'm going to enjoy watching all the sucker-ass chumps get fucked to hell. Pass the popcorn while you can still afford it.

Self-Censorship

Left out of almost previous item. It is nonetheless true!!
Not man enough to call for executing them all right now? I'll call for sterilizing the entire humanoid population immediately. I mean, have you seen & heard these people? I went outside today. A chilling experience.
What I saw outside. Everything at ground level was putrid or worse.
I am torn between my absolute & utter, 'though generalized, contempt for all of homo stupideous & its horrid stupidity & ignoranace, & my especially absolute & utter contempt for vile drooling idiots like Republlicans & Nazis. Kill them all & let their corpses rot across the surface of the planet, as there is no Gawd to save any of them from themselves. Or from me.

Any Attorneys Available?

I could use a high-powered legal team to sue my Shahs of Sunset landlords & their flunkies, as well as & the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, which allows this bullshit to continue unabated.
This reporter knows where all of these people work; I'm sure I can find where they live. Then I can run them down w/ a car like the rabid dogs they are, rather than shoot them in the streets like healthcare executive parasites.

P.S.: Have just been advised by the Housing Authority of Los Angeles to fuck off & die, in so many words: "With regards to your decision to proceed further, do keep in mind that we do address yours [sic] and every participant in this program the soonest we can. Your dcision [sic] to go further with you [sic] concerns is solely your perspective and your decision. HACLA and it's [sic] employees are not in the position to suggest nor convince you to do whatever you deem necessary to do."

Here is a mushroom that sprouted from the ceiling overnight.
You can help me, or be repsonsible for the (admittedly justified) deaths of many many people. The choice is yours.

I'd like to see the Savior of Western Civilization there try to sterilize a rooster, let alone a humanoid.
Dig his paws, too. Tinier than Trumpy's, even.
