I knew this slush fund shit sounded familiar.

@BrianJopek History doesn’t repeat but it does rhyme.

@BrianJopek

the merger of the state and the corporation goes hand in hand with the alliance of the industrialists and the fascists

@BrianJopek

Smells like nazis

[barbramon1@mas.to]

@BrianJopek Damn.

[coldfish@sfba.social]

@BrianJopek Republicans are so unbelievably disgusting. I'm just utterly and completely disgusted with all of them.

[tropicalchaos@mastodon.social]

@BrianJopek I am both disgusted and alarmed!

[juliehuz@mastodon.world]

@BrianJopek Well...I'll be damned. He really DID read Mein Kampf.

[janxdevil@sfba.social]

@BrianJopek I had to look that up because I wasn’t sure it was real, but well, I don’t know why I was suspicious of it.

[worldtravelerall7@mastodon.world]

@BrianJopek so Biden trying to pay down student loan debt was "unconstitutional", but Dotard Tumor can funnel taxpayer money to his violent, fascist stormtroopers for the "harm" of being justly jailed for committing serious crimes? this country is so fucked

@BrianJopek

Q: That's an amazing historical coincidence. Has it been fact checked?

A: " Yes. In 1930 Martin Bormann established the Hilfskasse der NSDAP (Nazi Party Auxiliary Fund), a party-run benefits/relief fund that collected member premiums and made discretionary payments to party members injured or otherwise in need — including support for activists who had been imprisoned before the Nazi seizure of power."

Wow...........just wow.

@BrianJopek Gotta nip it in the bud, sooner rather than later.

"It will all be dependent on a co-Me: T." is how it printed on the wheezing ticker-tape machine in his poached ham of a head.

@BrianJopek Winter Relief Fund was a Nazi-organized charity collected during the winter months. Pressure to contribute was considerable, and armbands and pins were distributed for public display to identify donors - and thus non-donors. Much of the money was siphoned off by the Party, and scholars have noted that it kept the populace short of extra cash and acclimated to the idea of privation.

@BrianJopek oh gosh what a jolly Chamber-of-Commerce sort of name for it. Trade and Industry!

[ogjester@pnw.zone]

@BrianJopek of COURSE there’s another nazi analogy

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@BrianJopek Did Hitler have the balls to have him and his family declared immune from whatever tax agency they had at the time?

I have to give it to them...that's a fucking ballsy move. If they get away with it we now they're untouchable and it's just done...finished. No 250 year anniversary though one will be celebrated.

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@AH_99 @BrianJopek There will probably be a rush of this through the courts and to final payment. Well before midterms. Then it will be used to pay for his poll observer army.

He'll get this war heated up.

[pizzademon@mastodon.online]

@BrianJopek on the one hand, I'm upset. OTOH, I thought we were at '35 or '36
