I've seen it come up a couple of times in various "Race War is imminent!" threads where they try to liken the current racial climate in America as being exactly the same as it was in pre-genocide Rwanda with an extemist faction trying to inflame racial tension and and start a genocidal race war.

Naturally they always portray whites as the Tutsis...

These narratives also conveniently ignore the role that white colonialism played in created the Hutu/Tutsi divide and setting up the conditions for the genocide (mostly the Belgians, who went so far as to legally disenfranchise certain ethnic groups and then put peoples' ethnicity on their national ID cards so they could never pass as any other group).

They were figuring they'd kick in the door and the whole rotten house would have come down, and if they'd actually been anti-Bolshevik liberators like they liked to claim, it - well, might not have worked, exactly, but it would have worked better than they did.

US aid to the Soviets was a really big help but our trucks, gas, and phone cable probably did a lot more than any weapons we gave them. I gather they actually started asking the US to stop sending weapons because we were giving them garbage we didn't want, and their own gear (other than trucks, since all the truck factories were making tanks) was better.

So Hitler thought they'd be greeted as liberators? Actually, that might have worked with some non-Russian territories like Ukraine, but their insane racial theories led to them being even worse rulers than the Soviets.

The "no towers" theory reminds me of the Onion article confessing that "Ancient Greece" was a hoax created by History professors and students in 1971. http://www.theonion.com/article/historians-admit-to-inventing-ancient-greeks-18209

Part of that was all for internal consumption as well, but it was also partly the belief that Bolshevism was inherently such a flawed, bankrupt system that after a couple of defeats at the hands of the Wehrmacht, the Russian Army would be faced with so many mass defections and mutinies that effective resistance would end. This was partly racism and partly anti-communist ideology, but in fairness to the Nazis (:laffo:) this idea wasn't completely loving insane, just mostly loving insane, because they had just beaten the gently caress out of France - widely considered the best army in the world at the time - in a few weeks, whilst on the other hand the USSR had barely beaten Finland, of all places, in the Winter War.

They also really were greeted as liberators a lot of the time, because a lot of people in the USSR but outside Russia's borders really goddamn hated the Soviets, and they did make use of it when their racial ideology permitted it. Part of my ancestry is Estonian, and when the Red Army was rolling back into the Baltic in '44, my family fled with the Nazis, which was probably wise given that some uncle or something was one of the top people in the puppet government. Had they done the same in Ukraine, or at least managed to delay the racism for long enough to make use of the population, they could have profited tremendously.

In trying to parse what this statement means, I saw one representative say they might have to form a "bipartisan coalition" with Democrats to elect a Speaker so they don't have to appease the wingnuts in their party.

The Republican House is so fractured right now they can't even elect a speaker. This is hilarious.

As Mister Adequate points out, in the Baltic states they genuinely were greeted that way, with reciprocity as Nazi racial theory held that the Baltics were largely populated by Germanic peoples (not without some justification, for once). It's no accident that those regions were among the quickest to end up Judenrein.

In many places in Russia the Nazis were initially greeted with wary enthusiasm because it meant freedom from red terror. Unfortunately, they lived in Russia so there are no happy endings and the Nazis were even worse.

On McCarthy's announcement, there isn't too much going on. FReep is convinced that it's some dirty trick by John Boehner to keep the Speaker's chair indefinitely or something. They seem to think that the House Freedom Caucus is a bloc that controls 2/3rds of the GOP caucus and is somehow thwarted by unnamed elites. Right now they want to bring a motion to the floor to declare the Speaker's chair vacant, but that'll happen when hell freezes over.

Yup, pull Mark Meadow’s trigger. A little discussed, but very important sub theme here is filing deadlines for primary challengers. If stealth RINOs are forced to vote for GOPe now their cover will be broken in time to run alternatives. If they can stall a we bit longer they’re home free this go around and can hope we’ll forget by ‘18. From the way this is going down there are obviously a lot more stealth RINOs than true Conservatives in the House, but relatively few who think they can be re-elected as open RINOs.

Whenever Freep catches up to this story, I'm excited to see their reactions.

On Wednesday, Carson told SiriusXM radio host Karen Hunter that he had been held at gunpoint before. But in his telling, he did not react as he said he would, and he definitely did not attack the gunman:

"I have had a gun held on me when I was in a Popeyes [in Baltimore]. … A guy comes in, puts the gun in my ribs, and I just said, "I believe that you want the guy behind the counter." … He said, "Oh, okay."

However, McCarthy couldn’t face the music (about the adultery) so, he quit.

Bohner was apparently so happy at being rid of having to deal with his caucus, he was literally singing "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" as he went to resign.

But no, it was all a big con because he desperately wants to cling to power.

The power of Freep disconnect never ceases to amaze.

It's like their weird delusion that Obama is constantly, visibly seething with suppressed rage. A man so notoriously calm and even-tempered that it inspired "Luthor - The Presidential Anger Translator" as a running joke.
