No, you're the ridiculous one when it was you who mentioned the Hitler name.

The tactics which Hitler used weren't new and mass rallies that been used before and since. The civil rights movement used the same tactics....so would you bring Hitler's name up there?

There is no relevance in bringing up Hitler at all other than a blatant example of your TDS.

I used it for the plainly obvious reason that it is the best-known example of such tactics in the past 100 years.

Only those who want to see other associations and feel they transmit taint are trying to distance themselves. Which, of itself, is revealing.

Would I use it if we were discussing the civil rights movement? Probably, but we aren't. This is a Trump thread.

There are enough quotes, along with the story of their relationship which is uncontested, in those articles to demonstrate that Trump relied on, learned from and was indebted to Cohn. That's not imagined by me. It's reported by the MSM media so if you want to be pedantic and pick a fight, kindly do so with them.

It's ok to be wrong, just stop digging.

What you stated is incorrect, just move on.

Your interpretation of something does not make it a fact.

I know your RDD won't allow you to accept this but that's not your fault.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Unlike you I have a good memory of recent events, you posted this not so long ago when you were at the peak of your self aggrandisement, changing the lives of ex prisoners, generous benign land lord, positively affecting the lives of thousands of your previous employees etc.

You claimed to have closed sections of a Catholic newspaper but then pretended your post was a jest when the level of derisions was louder than a 747 over head.

Keep posting this stuff as it makes many on here smile

Who are you to declare "it's wrong"? How frigging arrogant.

At best it's just a matter of opinion. One I strongly disagree with.

Your interpretation of something does not make it a fact.

Kindly go take a long hard look in a mirror before mounting your high horse again. Your obsession with trying to find fault with others is not healthy.

That's an odd comment. The post you responded to didn't mention Trump.

So long as he is in the news and being discussed here I will add my thoughts if I so choose.

I would be delighted if he just faded into political obscurity and the only thing of interest about him was how and when he faces justice.

I have no wish to see another Trump/Biden match off either. Time for a fresh approach from both.

Wrong as usual. There is a full length one just behind my desk. I am obliged to look at myself every time I sit or stand. Just be grateful you don’t have to. I wouldn’t want you having to wonder at the vitality that open mindedness at my age delivers and comparing it to the effects of prejudice in yourself.

I quite like this post...bit of pathos....nice snapback at the end....doesn't go on forever....quite well written it has to be said.

I have perfectly good memory of the events, as I was involved. You don't. You are just spinning some long-forgotten comments to satisfy this strange desire you have to continuously post vitriol, rather than stay on subject. It's seriously weird. As you seem so interested here is the truth.

The tenant who is an ex-prisoner has changed his own life. I saw him yesterday, and have exchanged texts today. If ever there was an example of how the prison system can help reform people, he is it. He is a lovely chap. His appearance is fearful, but he has a heart of gold. I played a tiny role in accepting him when others didn't. He now works and is just moving from one of my units to a bigger one. You can take the p*ss as much as you like, but I am satisfied with what I have done.

I haven't had thousands of employees! I have had a few dozen and always tried to be a responsible and compassionate employer, primarily because my experience taught me that people generally perform better as a consequence. Of course, some took advantage and then I could be very straightforward. I once instantly dismissed a nurse I caught sleeping on duty. The trouble was she originated from Zimbabwe and started a tribunal action, claiming racial discrimination, which she later dropped, assumedly on advice.

I don't think I would have claimed I closed a section of a Catholic Newspaper on my own! It did close its comments section when the moderation requirements became too much for it to cope with. It was populated by several extremely conservative thinkers who routinely posted hard-line intransigence that brooked no argument. I, along with a couple of others, pointed out their weaknesses, much as I do here. So they just closed it. I must have contributed to that.

What any of that has to do with Trump is beyond me though!
