This probably hits hard if you failed history in high school. Hitler was a far-Right fascist whose party was named the National Socialist German Workers' Party to attract working-class voters. Then he banned the Social Democratic and Communist parties, and sent socialists and communists to concentration camps.

Hitler was a far left socialist. Literally in the name of his party!

The thing is. And this was a major 🔑 for me several years ago, in thinking about the podcast, is that communists are obsessed with capitalism. Some of them are so obsessed that they might even secretly love it. Whereas capitalists rarely spend any time thinking about it.

I love the Odd Lots podcast, but I could do without the commie gobbledygook that occasionally appears in the programming

Dear Democrats, This is why we called him Lady Graham. This isn’t an October surprise, we’ve known this for years. And blaming his sister for the fact Lindsey was a poorly closeted gay man, is only going to backfire. No one cares.

Lindsey Graham was routinely hiring male sex workers while handling extremely sensitive national security material. Including a minor, whose story is detailed here for the first time. Meanwhile, his sister Darline runs on his name while campaigning on anti-LGBT rhetoric.

Louisiana PSC member Eric Skrmetta (R) says at a public meeting "We don’t have to build data centers. We get to build data centers. It’s a blessing on our state.”

Skrmetta doubles down, telling an activist she's too young to understand why Louisiana needs data centers. "You look like you’re in your 20s," he said. "You don’t understand the economic struggles this state has gone through.” #lalege #lagov

In an October poll Gallup says 70% (!) of Americans oppose data center construction in their areas. The politics of this for Republicans are wild, and it all gets back to Trump.

Trump says that if Republicans lose in North Carolina he will use the power of his office to deny US Marine Corps veterans’ claims for medical treatment for cancer and other life threatening diseases resulting from decades of water contamination by toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune
