   I already addressed that. My question was in the   
   context of NOW, which is what I thought we were   
   discussing. Bringing up something that happened   
   EIGHTY years ago, and conducted by one of the most   
   (if not THE most) beloved Democratic president in   
   U.S. history, does NOT help the disucussion about   
   what I addressed in my post at the top of this   
   thread.

   All of that was done by DEMOCRATS!!!!!! And again,   
   what does this have to do with what is happening   
   NOW (in the context of my post at the top of this   
   thread)?

   Sheesh, does this CrapGPT have ANYTHING to say about   
   what is happening now, and how it compares to its   
   FALSE comparison to Nuremberg Laws?

   Can we get back to the CrapGPT thing addressing the   
   issues I raised in the first post in this thread?   
   Just how dumb is that thing? I guess we'll continue   
   to find out.
