APROPOS GOOD FRIDAY...

 Pilate's Prickly Predicament

…"But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover... Do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?" ⁴⁰ So they* cried out again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas." [Now, Barabbas was an insurrectionist].

Today, "they" are the pinheads supporting Trump, King of the Narcissists...

Listen to their brain-dead tongues shouting, "Bring us Barabbas (i.e., Trump)!!  He's our man!!"

But, of course, he LOVES being Barabbas [Hitler, too]; he'd tell us to just deal with it!

The wonder of Good Friday is that the victor lies vanquished by the vanquished one. We have to look deeper into the very heart and essence of things before we can see how real the victory is that thus hides itself under the guise of defeat.

You don't have to believe in Christianity to identify evil, correct?

Trump should put a photo up of Malaria's face while she grunting during her daily dump. Everyone can take an unflattering picture.

'BOUT TIME THIS WAS SAID!!

“Trump seems to know he’s a loser. His embarrassing insecurities are on parade: petty bullying, attacks on women, cheap racism, and flagrant narcissism.”

“Many of history’s worst authoritarians started out as losers – and Trump is a serious threat. The way I see it, it’s our job to make sure he ends this campaign every bit the loser that he started it,” [Elizabeth] Warren concluded.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD...

... and thank you Lawrence O'Donnell

for airing this:

“Please stop it with voting for Trump,” Lewis C.K. writes. “It was funny for a little while. But the guy is Hitler. And by that I mean that we are being Germany in the ’30s. Do you think they saw the sh-t coming? Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb-over who would say anything at all.”

If you are a true conservative. Don’t vote for Trump. He is not one of you. He is one of him. Everything you have heard him say that you liked, if you look hard enough you will see that he one day said the exact opposite. He is playing you.”

C.K. added, “Trump is not your best. He’s the worst of all of us. He’s a symptom to a problem that is very real. But don’t vote for your own cancer".

 "You’re better than that.”

So, what did Americans think of Hitler when they first met him in the 1920s and 1930s? Some of them burst out laughing at his shrill voice and jerky hand movements and refused to take him seriously.

However, some of the first people who met him did take him quite seriously. Truman Smith, who was a junior military attaché in the 1920s, came away from meeting Hitler and said, "This is a marvelous demagogue who can really inspire loyalty." It was the same with Karl von Wiegand, a Hearst correspondent who was the first American journalist to interview Hitler back in 1922. He was struck by Hitler's oratorical skills and his ability to whip people into a frenzy.
