Not really, it was the same thing as the brouhaha that came up when Pope Benedict was revealed to have had a similar thing in his childhood. I mean he was ten, even if being in a Nazi organization in Nazi Germany was voluntary, what the hell does it matter? He was ten!

Yeah that's what I thought, my GF's grandpa was in the same situation. He's very open about it being a very "normal" thing for kids at the time and he doesn't have a nazi bone in his body.

Not that I'm going to bat for Reagan's guy but it seems like such a mild thing in retrospect.

Lol at all of you who are prognosticating a competency turn from Trump now that Kelly is in. Haven't some of you been waiting for that turn since uh...the primarys ended?

Trump will stab Kelly in the back just like he'll stab everyone but Ivanka. And maybe even her.

He only cares about himself, his ego, his name in lights, his picture on the front page, etc. No one else matters. It's that easy to understand.

Donnie stabs Ivanka everynight.

You probably know this but for anyone who might not: the movie "In The Loop" is an extension of the show The Thick of It and is quite good so make sure you catch that if you like the show.

If true, I give Kelley 2 weeks before Trump makes a passive-aggressive tweet.

Also Paul Rudd should play "The Mooch" in the Coen Brother's eventual Trump film.

During Reagans Presidency it had a bit more stigma to it than now. Hell nowadays there are factions within the GOP that would consider it a qualification for the job.

Serious question, did you get to choose whether you were in Hitler youth or not?

It was compulsory, and would have been true of any German his age not sent to a camp or ghetto. Koehler defected to help as an interpreter to the US army when he was still a kid so the could have easily explained it. Reagan by that point had perfected the art of savage backstabbing and casting off friends so it was probably effortless to throw him under the bus than deal with any fallout.

Pity poor Anthony Scaramucci: reportedly getting divorced, sacked from his job after a mere 10 days — and now there’s an erroneous report that he’s dead.

The blink-and-you-missed him former White House communications director is listed as deceased in the new Harvard Law School alumni directory, which arrived in alums’ mailboxes the very week that “The Mooch” became the most talked-about guy in all of politics. An asterisk by the 1989 graduate’s name indicates that he was reported dead since the last directory, which was published in 2011.

Membership in the Hitler Youth was mandatory for aryans from '34 onwards, and failure to enroll your children would prompt an investigation of the parents. Kids who for one reason or the other were not in the Hitler Youth couldn't get jobs, were not admitted to universities and so on. Even the members of the White Rose were part of the organization, because they had to.

Joe Arpaio found guilty of criminal contempt:

CNN posted:

Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio found guilty of contempt

CNN)Former Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been found guilty of criminal contempt, court records show.

Arpaio was accused of violating a court order in a racial profiling case by continuing patrols targeting immigrants. US District Court Judge Susan Bolton handed down her ruling in court papers signed on Monday.

US District Court Judge G. Murray Snow first issued a temporary injunction in 2011, barring Arpaio from detaining people solely based on their immigration status. Snow issued a permanent order two years later.

Arpaio has contended the order wasn't clear and he didn't intend to violate it. Federal prosecutors alleged his defiance was deliberate, and something he believed he could get away with.

The 85-year-old, who once called himself "America's toughest sheriff," could face up to six months in jail when he is sentenced on October 5. His eight-day trial wrapped up earlier this month.
