For the specific event involving Hitler in Vienna, my source was The Hitler I Knew, by August Kubizek. Kubizek was Hitler's roommate for a time in Vienna. Hitler was a big fan of Karl Lueger, the Christian Socialist mayor of Vienna who was often accused of anti-Semitism.

As far as the origin and use of the word "anti-Semitism," its earliest use was apparently by a Jewish author in 1860. It was frequently used in Germany and Austria after 1880 to denote racial (rather than religious) prejudice against Jews. The otherwise great German historian Treitschke helped popularize the movement, but not by that name. There's a decent article on Wikipedia that mentions some of the important characters who promoted racial anti-Semitism.

Thanks for sharing your feelings, and let me correct one of your assertions. Hitler joined something called the Anti-Semitic League in Vienna before World War I, so obviously the term existed before Trotsky.

Kind of partial to Donna Brazile myself... /s

"3 miles minimum"

I think the equivalent of mootness in a murder case would be a dead defendant. No need to hold a trial if there's no one to punish.

That is why they flaunt their ill-gotten Harvard and Yale degrees. They literally have no other way to justify their tyrannical power.

I see your point, and would add that elections for certain offices are part of the republic.

Obtaining consent from the governed has always been an important part of any republican philosophy. It also has to be done in a lawful and orderly way, which is why the Supremes' cowardice in this case is so infuriating.

Even bigger was trusting Jared to tell him he could trust the swamp.

Then there's his bizarre sexual fetishization of clerkships. He's never had a male clerk.

Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch voted for democracy. All the others voted for blatant election fraud.

Barrett? She's busy devoting disproportionate time, energy, and attention to her adopted children. It's not easy being part of a nice American family!

That was Benjamin Franklin, but close enough.

Dr. Optics cucked us. He scolds us when we talk tough, and all the women love him, and he worked so hard to protect us from HCQ...

Satan relishes mockery and impersonation.

Antichrist will sit in the temple and pretend to be God.

Actually picked by the Federalist Society.

All the Roman dictators served for a limited time, I think it was six months. That's what a dictator meant to them.

They knew they needed dictators sometimes, so they made it an institution with an easy exit path. They didn't threaten to hang dictators, who in turn didn't mind resigning.

I'm not sure whether "hate" fully captures the emotions I feel.

It's more a general all-encompassing disgust, as if I'm cleaning my shoes after walking several miles on the sidewalks of San Francisco.

Nancy's panic is absolutely hilarious! This is better than the guy with his shoes on fire...

It's the old Berlin Wall aesthetic. Commies tend to forget how unpopular they were before about 1970.

Per another thread:

DOD got worried, surveyed the troops, and is now even more worried.

86 percent support Trump, 75 percent know election was stolen.

Well, he was elected with Trump, and may have actually helped in the Midwest in 2016. The only ways to get rid of him would be arrest or impeachment, and unfortunately Trump doesn't control either path. Maybe arrest will be feasible this week; I really don't know for sure.

I've always pitied Jeb as being personally decent, but very very weak.

When Pence tries to be strong, he comes across to me as boring and inhuman. Maybe that's because he's finally revealed his character, the horrible moral vacuum inside his soul.

Luke 18:7

"And will God not give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night?"

There are plenty of stories of answered prayers in the Hebrew Bible as well.

He was a moral coward, and most likely destroyed both his political career and his spiritual life.

He wanted to be seen forever as a "good Christian" who gives the media tyrants exactly what they want. And it's partially true, he will be remembered forever. Like Judas, he earned everlasting contempt in the heat of battle.
