GOP Senator Calls it 'Dangerous' for Trump To Be Called 'Hitler,' Like JD Vance Once Called Him

Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) sounded off to Fox News's Maria Bartiromo Sunday about the dangers of calling President Donald Trump Hitler despite the fact that Vice President J.D. Vance has used those very words. In 2016, Vance texted a friend, I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler. How's that for discouraging? The text came to light as Vance ran for an Ohio Senate seat in 2022.

The Severe Downsides of 'Transhumanism' Paranoia

Conservatives have long struggled to find an ideological enemy to replace communism. It's easier to define yourself when you know what you're up against. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and others want transhumanism to be that defining foe. But transhumanism is a fringe notion that looms larger in the minds of conservatives than it does in reality. It is not the great threat that faces the country. It simply makes for a good enemy to advance a "respectable" form of right-wing populism.

Dave Portnoy Declares Trump Played Huge Part' in Kirk Assassination By Being Divisive'

Politics definitely has a huge part in it. Trump and when I say Trump has a huge part in it, I don't necessarily mean he's to blame for it but he's so divisive, without even really his face is just divisive. Like, he just people hate him so much, Portnoy said. And the left and the right, the rhetoric especially to me the left is insane. And it just boils, boils, boils, boils. And this happened with Trump, when, his assassination attempt, there was like a three-hour period of let's tone down the rhetoric,' and then they're right back to it.
