Narcissism? The Holocaust was a singular event in the annals of human history, which is filled with examples of mans’ capacity for evil, hatred and cruelty. How it occurred and the legal framework under which it occurred are essential things to understand. When @JDVance1 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

There will be more @mtgreenee ‘s in the next Congress and the one after that. McCarthy @GOPLeader and a hundred others tried to ride the Tiger to power and the GOP wound up in the tigers belly. Greene’s comments are a perfect reflection of both the moral stunting and victim 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Testimony of Rudolf Hoess, Commandant of Auschwitz. Below is the testimony of the man who incinerated millions of human beings (mostly Jews). Read it. Ponder the moral idiocy of ⁦@mtgreenee⁩ in her comparisons around Covid vaccines. https://t.co/Ym99FGtYaZ — PolitiTweet.org

Appalling comments of Marjorie Taylor Greene. @GOPLeader is trying to ride the tiger. His conference of loons, conspiracy theorists and fascists is a threat to democracy in this country. His condemnation is meaningless and empty. They are on the same side — PolitiTweet.org

He gave them oxygen. They gave him support. @GOPLeader was a handmaiden to birthing the new autocratic coalition that is filled with anti-semites, racists and blood and soil white nationalists. That is what is appalling. Almost as appalling as his crocodile tears over the — PolitiTweet.org

is more appalling and egregious by orders of magnitude than the anti Semitic fulminations and stupidities from @mtgreenee . Here is reality. Neo Nazi’s, white supremacists, fascist proud boys and right wing extremist groups of all manner were inspired and emboldened by Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

The vile insanity of @mtgreenee is a feature of the autocratic movement that Donald Trump remains the undisputed leader of. @GOPLeader decision to cover up the murderous January 6th insurrection which included white nationalists and neo-Nazis wearing Camp Auschwitz t shirts — PolitiTweet.org

Generations as well. The virtues of valour in Col. Pucketts long ago actions are both timeless and essential in a society that can use every reminder it can get about their necessity. Those 20 murderers shouldn’t share a station of eternal honor with men like Puckett. @ewarren — PolitiTweet.org

On December 29, 1890, more than 200 women and children were slaughtered while scores more were shot. They were unarmed and their massacre by a detachment the United States Army 7th Cavalry was a war crime. More than 300 Lakota people were murdered that day. — PolitiTweet.org

Without memory. If that is allowed to happen, we will lose the country. The coverup of what happened on the 6th by Trump and his cabal of elected Autocrats guarantees more political violence, death, extremism and instability in the years ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

From the poisonous Trump Presidency. The use of language matters and understanding the code words is more important than ever. There is no higher strategic priority for Trump, McCarthy and McConnell than making the murderous insurrection disappear into the fog of a culture — PolitiTweet.org

Cobras mesmerized by the 🐍snake handlers flute I think it deserves a bit unpacking. 1. Joe Biden IS the POTUS. 2. Every American should share equally in the boredom and genuine disinterest around what @GOPLeader does or doesn’t accept. Who cares. There is no relevance. — PolitiTweet.org
