      XPost: talk.politics.guns, or.politics, sac.politics       XPost: alt.politics.trump, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       From: democrat-insurrection@mail.house.gov              https://nypost.com/2024/10/20/opinion/dems-are-so-fearful-theyre-now-in-       the-trump-is-worse-than-hitler-stage-as-election-day-nears/              We are now at the Trump-is-worse-than-Hitler stage of the Kamala Harris       campaign, with just over two weeks until Election Day.              That’s the word from the Atlantic magazine, where CIA cipher Anne       Applebaum wrote another hilarious anti-Trump diatribe last week titled       “Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini.”              The Atlantic has dedicated itself to destroying Donald Trump and all his       works since it was bought by Laurene Jobs, the billionaire widow of Apple       founder Steve Jobs, who just happens to be one of VP Kamala’s best       friends, and who helped mobilize fellow Democratic donors to topple Joe       Biden after his disastrous debate performance in June.              But, like so many Trump Derangement Syndrome operations, Jobs’ efforts are       falling flat.              Joy has vanished from the Harris campaign.              Fear is in its place — fear that the Dems might lose the election to the       dreaded Trump.              Bring in the Brits       Dems are so desperate that they’ve turned to 100 activist staffers from       their counterparts across the pond — the British Labour Party — for help       to campaign in US swing states, sparking accusations of foreign election       interference.              The operation, “Labour for Kamala,” was revealed in a LinkedIn post last       week by the party’s head of operations, Sofia Patel: “I have nearly 100       Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few       weeks heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia … I       have 10 spots available for anyone available to head to the battleground       state of North Carolina — we will sort your housing.”              The Brits have been backpedaling like mad since Patel’s post went viral,       and insist that the foreign campaign helpers would use their annual leave       to volunteer for the Democrats — and that “the initiative is not organized       or funded by the Labour party.”              There’s nothing to stop foreign campaign volunteers who pay their own way,       but the free housing Patel seemed to promise could contravene federal law,       as Elon Musk suggested when he highlighted Patel’s post on his social       media platform, X: “This is illegal.”              The Federal Election Commission states that “contributions, donations,       expenditures and disbursements solicited, directed, received or made       directly or indirectly by or from foreign nationals in connection with any       federal, state or local election” are prohibited by federal law.              Hard Labour       Patel has deleted her post — and her entire LinkedIn page — and is not       answering questions on the email she helpfully provided to volunteer       wannabes, so we can’t tell you how she plans to “sort” the accommodations.              But lefty Brits clearly think the Democrats are in dire need of their       assistance.              “Let’s show those Yanks how to win elections!” Patel said in an email to       prospective recruits.              It’s not as if the Limeys’ chaotic, revolving-door political situation is       anything to be proud of. They’ve just elected their fourth prime minister       in two years: Patel’s old boss, Keir Starmer.              The new Labour PM owes his victory less to his own dubious leadership       qualities than to a split in the conservative vote between Nigel Farage       populists and CINO (conservative in name only) establishment Tories — the       type of split Harris is trying in vain to foster here with her embrace of       reviled Never-Trumpers like Liz Cheney.              Imagine if Trump-friendly parties in Hungary or Israel announced they were       sending over 100 volunteers to campaign for the GOP. All hell would break       loose.              Instead, all we have are the usual “Republicans pounce” stories. Ho hum.              “Labour for Kamala” is a joke, but it is on par with the rest of the       fading Harris campaign.              All they have left is what Biden had — demonizing Trump — and enlisting       the help of foreigners.              More disturbing on the foreign meddling front was the visit by Ukrainian       President Vlodomyr Zelensky to a munitions plant in the crucial swing       state of Pennsylvania last month, just as early voting was starting.              The Biden-Harris administration used military assets to fly Zelensky into       Biden’s hometown of Scranton on an Air Force C-17 on Sept. 22, where he       was met by Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and guarded by the manpower-       challenged Secret Service.              Photographs showed Zelensky signing artillery shells alongside Shapiro, a       Kamala surrogate once considered as her potential running mate, and       Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, who is running for re-election in a tough race       against Trump ally Dave McCormick. No Republicans were invited.              Zelensky’s visit could only be read as a partisan political endorsement of       Harris, particularly as he had just criticized Trump and running mate JD       Vance in an interview with the New Yorker.              House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) branded the visit foreign “election       interference” in an irate letter to Zelensky because it “was in a       politically contested battleground state, was led by a top political       surrogate for Kamala Harris, and failed to include a single Republican       because — on purpose — no Republicans were invited.”              “The tour was clearly a partisan campaign event designed to help Democrats       and is clearly election interference,” Johnson said.              The Heritage Foundation alleges that the Zelensky photo op was an       impeachable offense by Harris and Biden and is suing the administration       for all communications relating to the visit.              Foreign fumbling       Trump went on sensibly to meet Zelensky in cordial fashion at New York’s       Trump Tower, because he knows that ending the war in Ukraine is too       important for petty partisan games.              The Democrats keep accusing Trump of enlisting foreign election       interference, most recently scraping the Russia-gate barrel with a       ridiculous story peddled by Bob Woodward and Never-Trumper Dan Coats, a       former director of national intelligence.              Their theory is that Vladimir Putin “must be” blackmailing Trump.              It doesn’t take Trump flipping burgers at McDonald’s to know that Harris       is cooked.              Marxist sins of the fathers       Regular reader “Dublin” puts forward an interesting theory: “The fathers       of Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and [ex-Obama adviser] David Axelrod       were, or are, Marxist.              “Harris is estranged from her father, Axelrod’s dad [who was registered to       vote as a Communist, Axelrod divulged in his memoir ‘Believer’] tragically       committed suicide, and Obama did not know his [Kenyan socialist] father.”              Buttigieg, an only child, was close to his father, the late Marxist       professor Joseph Buttigieg, who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto       and “dedicated a significant portion of his academic career to the work of              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
