In Europe they often burned their witches. Accusation didn't have to be corroborated or true or proven. How do you prove someone is a witch anyway? Through the centuries around the world there have been "witches" and witch hunters and witch murderers . less

But they're not in any shape to do anything but look pathetic. It's nice to know that even the rich and powerful will get their comeuppance day . Final Judgment! Brothers under the skin. All guilty of the sin of using women to pleasure them without the consent of their victims. Tsk tsk tsk. Whom do we blame? Their parents for lousy parenting or themselves for thinking they were above the law, above the fray and whatever they wanted to do would be OK? It isn't. It never will be. Word to the wise. If these are your role models better get new ones. less

But is there a difference in the nature of the anti-semitism that existed during the Nazi reign and the anti-semitism that exists today in America and France and wherever else it rears its ugly? We in America have the ALT RIGHT whites, white supremacists, white nationalists, militia groups, skinheads. All racists/bigots/ homophobes/hatemongers/misogynists. Millions of them. Many of them armed. How dangerous would they be if they decide to recreate the genocide? That is what they want to have happen. Can they make it happen? Are there enough of them with enough guns that they can take over when/if the GOP prez wannabe is prez? They are his people after all. less

I mean what other one person can so divide a country that his supporters are willing to go to war to avenge his loss? Overly dramatic you say? I sure as he** hope so. His angry supporters have already driven one of his accusers out of the country(Mindy McGillivray). Why stop there? Why not find and threaten to kill anyone who speaks against him? Paul Ryan is a target. The entire GOP establishment is a target. Anyone who has ever criticized Trump is a target. Some of his second amendment supporters will sure have a chance to get in a lot of target practice won't they? Not all of them of course. I just don't know how many of them would be so enraged and out of control and filled with hate that they would have no problem going after anyone who rejected Trump. We shall see. less

Those who preferred the way things used be when slavery was a way of life and they will never get over the indignity of having an African American who is good enough and smart enough to be president. Never. They will continue to try to disenfranchise him until they die.

I've always wanted to know more of the history of my country's neighbor to the south, and this spurns me to delve deeper.

Trump supports ALT RIGHT ALL WHITE and pays lip service only to people of color. He fools no one. Except himself and his adorers. How sad would Abraham Lincoln be to see what has happened to his country in the hands of the 2016 GOP prez wannabe?
