I didn't know that the Kaiser ran death camps. The term is far older than Goebbels.

Quote:Another possible explanation: Pakistani leadership is finding that the terrorists that it recently coddled have become Frankenstein monsters.

Were that the case then they should have arrested these guys (many of whom live in villas right outside of major army bases) years ago. But they didn't but are now. What's changed?

Quote: That leadership may hate India, but Indian intelligence agencies and the Indian military aren't sending terrorists to do mass killings in Karachi. India is basically "East Israel" in its disdain for terrorists, especially after some ugly incidents in Mumbai. 

India and Pakistan have been in a state of cold war (except when it gets hot) since 1948. That hasn't changed. What has changed? Trump backing the Indian PM has changed since Obama didn't. India has nukes and has fought a war with Pakistan so the Pakistanis not being morons would prefer to not be irradiated at worst and invaded at best. Ergo bearded wackos are no longer helpful to their regime.

Quote:Rachel Maddow follows the money, if necessary, because that is the entirety of the personality of Donald Trump. Because Donald Trump is the definitive 'empty suit' he is all too easy to figure out.

Rachel Maddow is a fake news hack and has been for years. As for someone being so easy to figure out you still haven't figured out Trump--and he's been either president or running for president for two years and a cultural icon for over two decades. This failure is not easily explained by his doing.

Quote:Stalin to Trump. I know what you used to be. It is a commonplace trick of Commies to infiltrate the Right to get it to become more egregious in its destruction of all human virtue, to make the capitalist order even more indefensible -- to hasten the proletarian rebellion against a brutal Master Class. Donald Trump is a really bad capitalist.

Yes he's so bad a capitalist that he's a billionaire, a billionaire that owns hundreds of companies and only four of which have gone bankrupt and even then were only Chapter 11 and not full liquidation.

As for my past, that tactic only works with those who act as sleeper cells on the right. I've been open about my past. So lets see what have we learned about our resident depressed snowflake? We've learned that he doesn't understand the history of German words (possibly forgivable--after all I doubt he speaks more than one language, and I know he's never left the country ever); we've learned that he seems to think that Rachel Maddow is a journalist rather than an actor who plays a journalist on TV (a common mistake among Boomers), and we've learned that he hasn't studied the art of subterfuge.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is strong with this one.
