Podcasts about Reichstag

Une saga palpitante sur les derniers mois de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.Juillet 1944. Tandis qu'à l'Est, l'Armée rouge casse définitivement les reins de la Wehrmacht (opération " Bagration") et qu'à l'Ouest, Américains et Britanniques qui piétinaient depuis le Débarquement, percent enfin les défenses allemandes (opération " Cobra"), les chefs alliés sont optimistes : la guerre en Europe sera finie à Noël. Tous se trompent. Elle durera dix mois encore. Les plus coûteux en vies humaines de tout le conflit. Comment l'Allemagne, dont les forces vives – hommes, matériels, infrastructures industrielles, ressources énergétiques – ont été saignées à blanc, a-t-elle pu tenir aussi longtemps ? Pourquoi Hitler, au contraire de Mussolini ou du dictateur roumain Antonescu, n'a-t-il pas été renversé ? Comment l'Union soviétique, dont plus de 20 millions de citoyens ont été exterminés en trois ans, est-elle parvenue, en quelques mois, à recouvrer le terrain perdu et à planter le drapeau rouge au sommet du Reichstag ? Pourquoi les États-Unis passent-ils pour le pays ayant le plus contribué à la victoire sur l'Allemagne alors que sur les 48 millions de morts provoqués par la guerre en Europe, 73 % sont des Russes (16 millions de civils et 9 millions de combattants soit 15 % de la population de l'URSS) et 0,3% seulement des Américains (140 000 morts) ? Même illusion d'optique s'agissant des accords de Yalta (février 1945) et du prétendu " partage du monde " qui en a résulté. Sait-on que ce n'est pas Roosevelt – trop rapidement taxé de complaisance avec Staline – qui a entériné les visées territoriales soviétiques sur l'Europe centrale, mais le très anticommuniste Churchill, cinq mois plus tôt à Moscou, pour préserver la sphère d'influence britannique sur la Grèce et la Méditerranée orientale ? Après tant d'ouvrages écrits sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale, raconter l'histoire de son achèvement européen était nécessaire pour tordre le cou à beaucoup d'idées reçues. C'est l'objet de ce livre dont l'originalité repose sur les angles morts qu'il a choisi d'éclairer, et la force au rare talent d'écriture de son auteur.L'auteur Eric Branca est notre invité en studioDistribué par Audiomeans.

1902 wurde vom Reichstag die Schaumweinsteuer zur Finanzierung der kaiserlichen Kriegsflotte eingeführt. Wenn sie also heute einen Piccolo trinken, freut sich zwar nicht mehr der Kaiser, aber unser "Pistol" Pistorius. Nach dem Motto "Trinkst an Piccolo, machst den Pistorius froh" kann das Sondervermögen stetig anwachsen. Vorausgesetzt die Steuer fließt immer noch, oder wieder, in den Verteidigungshaushalt, aber nach über einhundert Jahren, wer weiß das schon? Eine Glosse von Helmut Schleich.

Roland Theis ist im Februar in den deutschen Bundestag gewählt worden. Was er seither dort erlebt hat und wie er auf die Koalitionsverhandlungen und die Zukunft Deutschlands blickt, hat er im Gespräch erzählt.

#Lutherhiersteheich #Hauptstadtinsider #JanPeterLuther #DNEWS24 #SchRoKo #In der SPD startet die Mitgliederbefragung über die Zustimmung oder Ablehnung des Koalitionsvertrages. Bindend ist das Ergebnis für die Mitglieder der Bundestagsfraktion der Sozialdemokraten nicht. Dennoch wird es sehr spannend, denn die Jusos lehnen den Koalitionsvertrag ab. Etwa 35.000 Parteimitglieder oder 0,043 Prozent der Gesamtbevölkerung entscheiden über das Zustandekommen einer SchRoKo. Historisch gibt es eine Parallele: 1930 scheiterte die Weimarer Republik an der Unfähigkeit der SPD-Fraktion im Reichstag zur Kompromißbildung im Streit um die Finanzierung der Arbeitslosenversicherung.

On 27 February 1933, the Reichstag building in Berlin, which was home to the German Parliament, was burned down. This was a key event in the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship.Berlin-born journalist, Sefton Delmer, told his story to the BBC World Service in 1967. He grew up in the city so knew people involved with the Nazi party. This meant he was able to get close to the main people on the night. Delmer walked around the burning building with Hitler and Goring. He recalls their conversations and describes the scene in this fascinating account.Produced and presented by Gill Kearsley. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: The Reichstag fire in 1933.

Nous sommes le 15 septembre 1935, à Nuremberg, en Bavière. Ce jour-là a lieu le septième congrès annuel du parti national-socialiste des travailleurs allemands, le parti nazi. Trois textes sont adoptés par le Reichstag, l'assemblée parlementaire, à l'initiative d'Adolf Hitler. Des textes qui codifient la doctrine raciale nazie en interdisant, notamment, les mariages et les relations sexuelles entre Juifs et Allemands L'histoire parlera des lois de Nuremberg. Des lois qui témoignent de la dimension érotique perverse contenue dans l'idéologie nazie, où la sexualité est instrumentalisée au service de la pureté raciale et de la procréation aryenne. Au service de cette dimension érotique est mise une esthétique qui glorifie le corps « sain et naturel », conforme à l'idéal aryen. Adolphe Hitler, lui-même, s'envisage comme un artiste et sa vision du monde inclut une façon particulière de considérer le désir et la sexualité. Les lois de Nuremberg officialiseront une politique d'exclusion et de persécution qui aura des conséquences dramatiques sur la vie intime de nombreux individus. De quelles manières le régime nazi s'y est-il pris pour réguler l'érotisme et la sexualité à travers le prisme de sa doctrine raciale ? Avec nous : Arnaud de la Croix, philosophe et historien. « Esthétique et érotisme nazis » ; éds. Universitaires de l'Umons. Sujets traités : érotisme, nazisme, esthétique, Nuremberg, Juifs, allemands, aryenne, Adolphe Hitler, Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Un joven trotamundos y Cabo en la 1 Guerra Mundial, Adolf Hitler, dejó atrás su pasado en Viena para convertirse en un eficaz demagogo de la extrema derecha, en la Alemania de Weimar. Su partido era minoritario y tenía muchos competidores, pero, por suerte, su astuto talento político y carisma personal lo sacaron del anonimato hasta que en 1930 su partido, el Partido Nacionalsocialista de los Obreros Alemanes, conocido como NSDAP o partido nazi, era el segundo en importancia en el Reichstag. Desde los comienzos hasta su suicidio en un búnker en Berlín, en 1945, este documental cuenta la historia del Führer, el líder.

Die deutsche Einheit und die Gründung des Kaiserreiches im Jahr 1871 war keiner Volksbewegung zu verdanken, sondern Bismarcks Revolution von oben. Sie ließ Wünsche offen. Umso wichtiger war es, die nationale Jubelstimmung durch die feierliche Eröffnung des Reichtags zu beflügeln.

Germany's Christian Democrats, Social Democrats and Green Party have struck a deal that will see them vote to amend the country's constitution in order to ramp up defence and infrastructure spending. The deal will be voted on next week and requires a two-thirds majority in the Reichstag. It comes as the G7 backed security guarantees for Ukraine and Donald Trump said he'd had "good calls" with Russia and Ukraine on his ceasefire proposal.The BBC has heard evidence of atrocities committed by retreating fighters in a battle which is raging for control of Sudan's capital Khartoum.And a British explorer is aiming to become the first woman to walk solo across Baffin Island in the Arctic Circle.

Em 27 de fevereiro de 1933, o prédio do Parlamento alemão foi incendiado. O evento foi usado pelo grupo nazista como pretexto para reprimir opositores e consolidar o poder de Adolf Hitler.

LAST TIME EUROPE WASN'T READY TO FIGHT:  1/8: Brothers in Arms: One Legendary Tank Regiment's Bloody War from D-Day to VE-Day, by James Holland https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YS123SZ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 In the annals of World War II, certain groups of soldiers stand out, and among the most notable were the Sherwood Rangers. Originally a cavalry unit in the last days of horses in combat, whose officers were landed gentry leading men who largely worked for them, they were switched to the “mechanized cavalry” of tanks in 1942. Winning acclaim in the North African campaign, the Sherwood Rangers then spearheaded one of the D-Day landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944; led the way across France; were the first British troops to cross into Germany, and contributed mightily to Germany's surrender in May 1945. Inspired by Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers, the acclaimed WWII historian James Holland memorably profiles an extraordinary group of citizen soldiers constantly in harm's way. Their casualties were horrific, but their ranks immediately refilled. Informed by never-before-seen documents, letters, photographs, and other artifacts from Sherwood Rangers' families—an ongoing fraternity—and by his own deep knowledge of the war, Holland offers a uniquely intimate portrait of the war at ground level, introducing heretofore unknowns such as the Commanding Officer Stanley Christopherson, the squadron commander John Semken, Sergeant George Dring, and other memorable characters who helped the regiment become the single unit with the most battle honors of any ever in the British army. He weaves the Sherwood Rangers' exploits into the larger narrative and strategy of the war, and also brings fresh analysis to the tactics used. Following the Sherwood Rangers' brutal journey over the dramatic eleven months between D-Day and V-E Day, Holland presents a vivid and original perspective on the endgame of WWII in Europe. 1932 Herman Goering of NSDAP addresses Reichstag

Send us a textAfter witnessing the obscene way in which the Trump team treated the President of our ally Ukraine on Friday, it is clear that Trump and his cronies are working for someone other than the American people and the principles of democracy. Not only has the world reacted in outrage and horror, it is the American people, our economy and standing in the world that will ultimately suffer. As his support erodes - not only around the world - but here at home, look for a repeat of history -- our Reichstag fire event that will be meant to rally the people to the authoritarian's cause and result in a premise to declare Martial Law and who knows...suspend elections? It may come in the form of a well timed explosion that can be blamed on "our enemies". It may be an assassination of some un-needed red state elected officials who would be seen as "dying for the cause". And look for the 2026 elections to be under stress like we have never seen. We are at a tipping point in this country, make no mistake. It is up to us to do something about this.minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton

This Day in Legal History: Reichstag Fire DecreeOn February 28, 1933, German President Paul von Hindenburg issued the Reichstag Fire Decree, formally known as the Presidential Decree for the Protection of People and State. The decree was a direct response to the Reichstag fire the night before, which the Nazi Party blamed on Communists. It suspended key civil liberties, including freedom of speech, press, assembly, and protection from unlawful detention. The decree also allowed warrantless arrests and indefinite imprisonment of political opponents. Using this power, the Nazis swiftly arrested thousands of Communists, Socialists, and other adversaries. The decree marked the legal foundation of Nazi repression and paved the way for the Enabling Act, passed on March 23, which granted Hitler dictatorial powers. By July 14, 1933, the Nazis had criminalized all political opposition, establishing a one-party state. The decree remained technically in effect throughout Nazi rule, providing a legal cover for widespread persecution. It exemplified how emergency powers, once enacted, can be used to erode democracy rather than protect it.KPMG has received approval to practice law in Arizona, making it the first Big Four accounting firm to do so in the U.S. However, due to legal prohibitions, the firm cannot offer legal services to its audit clients, limiting its potential customer base. Despite this restriction, KPMG expects to attract many new clients rather than shedding existing ones. The Arizona Supreme Court's approval aligns with its goal of increasing access to legal services, but it also introduces a well-funded competitor to traditional law firms. Other Big Four firms like Deloitte, PwC, and EY may eventually follow suit.While U.S. regulations bar auditors from providing legal services to public company clients, Arizona's decision opens opportunities in the non-audit market. KPMG plans to focus on services complementing traditional legal work, such as contract management and supply chain restructuring. The firm must maintain an internal compliance program, overseen by attorney David Rizzo, and submit biannual reports to the state. With consulting already a major revenue stream, KPMG sees legal services as a way to expand further, particularly through technological advancements like AI.KPMG Must Pivot Around Audit Clients in Creating US Law PracticeThe Trump administration's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has dropped five enforcement cases against financial institutions, including a major lawsuit against Capital One over $2 billion in alleged illegal interest charges. Other dismissed cases involved student loan servicer PHEAA, Vanderbilt Mortgage, Rocket Homes, and Heights Finance, all of which had been accused of various predatory lending and mortgage fraud practices. The move significantly weakens the agency's legal actions against financial firms investigated for consumer abuse.The mass dismissals coincide with Trump's broader effort to dismantle the CFPB, an agency he has long opposed. His nominee for CFPB director, Jonathan McKernan, testified before the Senate, promising to enforce consumer protection laws but criticizing past enforcement as excessive. Meanwhile, Trump's administration has fired CFPB staff, shut down its Washington offices, and attempted to cancel its lease, though legal challenges have temporarily halted further layoffs.Consumer advocates, including Public Citizen and the Consumer Federation of America, condemned the dismissals, warning they encourage financial misconduct. The CFPB now has fewer than 20 active cases, with several likely to be paused under new leadership. While McKernan claims he will follow the law, critics fear a watered-down agency unable to protect consumers from financial abuses.Trump admin drops 5 consumer watchdog cases, including Capital One | ReutersA federal judge has ordered the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE) to provide a representative for a deposition regarding its authority, structure, and operations. The ruling by U.S. District Judge John Bates also requires the Trump administration to produce documents and answer questions in a lawsuit brought by labor unions and nonprofits. The plaintiffs seek to block DGE's access to systems at three federal agencies, citing concerns over transparency and legality.The Justice Department opposed the order, but Bates ruled that critical details about DGE remain unclear. While he allowed questioning on DGE's access to personal data, he limited inquiries into trade secrets or other confidential business records. The judge also set an eight-hour cap on questioning representatives from DGE and the agencies.Bates previously denied an immediate restraining order blocking DGE's access, stating the plaintiffs had not yet proven legal violations. Meanwhile, the White House recently disclosed that Elon Musk is not the actual administrator of DGE, contradicting earlier claims by Trump. Other lawsuits challenging DGE's legality and access to government records remain ongoing.Judge Orders Musk's DOGE, Agency Staff to Testify in LawsuitA federal judge in California has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ordering mass firings of probationary federal employees at agencies like the Department of Defense and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)lacks the authority to direct agencies to fire workers, contradicting administration claims that it was merely issuing guidance.Trump, backed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, has sought to slash federal jobs as part of a broader plan to cut $1 trillion from the national budget. The layoffs have drawn opposition from Democrats, unions, and government employees, who argue they are illegal and threaten essential government functions, including veterans' services, scientific research, and national parks.While 5,400 Defense Department employees are still set to be fired, Alsup ordered OPM to rescind memos directing mass layoffs. The ruling is temporary while the legal challenge proceeds, with plaintiffs arguing OPM violated administrative law by issuing directives outside its authority. Meanwhile, Trump's administration continues to push for deeper federal workforce cuts, with agencies required to submit reduction plans by March 13.US judge halts Trump administration's calls for mass firings at agencies | Reuters This is a public episode.

Vamos a analizar esta vez los últimos resultados electorales en Alemania como la capital del ministerio de colonias, y cómo se distribuye el Reichstag antes de que quieran quemarlo para echarle la culpa a los rojos, o anular la elección si gana quien no debe como hicieron en Rumanía.

At the Yalta conference, between the US, the Soviet Union and Britain, the tensions between the Allies became increasingly obvious. Representing Britain, Churchill wanted the Allies' war effort to be directed in such a way as to limit Soviet control over Central and Eastern Europe. The Soviets wanted to make sure they maximised the area they controlled. And given how powerfully they were surging towards Germany, it was hard to see how they could be blocked. Certainly, the Americans saw no way to stop them and weren't prepared to go along with Churchill's schemes for trying.The result was that the Soviets ended up completely controlling such nations as Poland and Czechoslovakia, and several other countries of Eastern Europe. They also got to Berlin first and symbolically planted a Soviet flag on top of the German Reichstag (parliament) building. With Hitler committing suicide while Soviet forces were only 500 metres away, this meant that when the Nazis surrendered on 8 May (to the western powers) or 9 May (to all the Allies including the Soviets), Stalin was in a powerful position among the victors.Illustration: A Soviet soldier plants a flag on the Reichstag building in Berlin.

Virginie Girod raconte l'incendie du Reichstag, le coeur de la démocratie allemande, dans un récit inédit d'Au coeur de l'Histoire. Le 27 février 1933, à Berlin, Adolf Hitler, récemment nommé chancelier, dîne avec Joseph Goebbels quand le téléphone sonne. Au bout du fil se trouve Ernst Hanfstaengl, chargé des relations avec la presse étrangère. Agité, il annonce au futur artisan de la propagande nazie que le palais du Reichstag, qui abrite le Parlement allemand, est en flammes. Cet incendie, d'origine criminelle, est instrumentalisé par le nouveau régime afin d'instaurer une dictature. En Allemagne, c'est le début de l'ère national-socialiste, qui marquera au fer rouge l'Europe entière.

Ein spektakulärer Mordprozess führt dazu, dass der Reichstag am 6.2.1900 die "Lex Heinze" beschließt: ein Gesetz gegen "unsittliche" Darstellungen in Kunst und Literatur. Von Thomas Mau.

Die Herzkammer der meisten Betriebe ist bekanntermaßen die Kantine. Warum sollte das in einem Parlamentsbetrieb anders sein? Konsequenterweise hat es Autor Franz Lehnhoff für seinen Bericht aus dem Reichstag im Hamburgischen Correspondenten vom 31. Januar 1925 gar nicht bis in dessen Sitzungssaal geschafft, sondern es sich stattdessen im Reichstagsrestaurant bequem gemacht. Wer dieses seinerzeit als Vorgänger von Feinkost Käfer betrieb, verrät der Artikel nicht; auch von der Art der Speisen erzählt er nur am Rande. Viel ist dagegen die Rede vom geschäftigen Treiben auf bzw. zwischen den Stühlen und Bänken. Und von der dicken Luft, die hier im durchaus nicht metaphorischen Sinn des Wortes geherrscht haben soll. Frank Riede hat sich für uns dennoch hineingewagt.

“Hitler has only got one ball / Goebbels has two but very small”, aducía el popular cántico militar. Kiko Amat no posee datos sobre los testículos de Hermann Göring, “sucesor” del Führer, 16º Presidente del Reichstag, Comandante en jefe de la Luftwaffe y otros títulos rimbombantes (la mayoría inventados sobre la marcha por Adolf Hitler), pero sí sobre el resto de cosas: su extravagante compulsión indumentaria; su absentismo laboral; su formidable adicción a la morfina; su afición a saquear obras de arte y agenciarse castillos ajenos; sus fatalísimos fiascos militares, empezando por Dunquerque; el estresante bullying al que le sometía el Führer; y mucho, mucho más. Benja Villegas, por su parte, redondea el episodio con la refrescante cápsula “Cosas de nazis” y un test que analiza el coeficiente nazístico de ciertas figuras públicas actuales.

By the 11th of April 1939, Adolf Hitler and his Nazis were in the process of drawing up a plan of attack for Poland, the Poles having resisted Germany's attempts to make them hand over Danzig and turn themselves into a satellite state. Now, with a new military alliance between France, Britain and Poland established, the time has come for Hitler to throw the dice and cast Europe into the long predicted war. Yet, at this most crucial and long awaited moment of his career, Hitler found himself in a state of emotional distress. Uncertain of whether France and Britain would join the war upon his invasion of Poland, and aware of Germany's economic turmoil, the stakes had never been higher. He therefore decided to make a deal with his greatest ideological enemy - Joseph Stalin - forming an alliance with Russia, with the intention of dividing up Poland between them. Then, on the 1st of September, Hitler gave a landmark, excoriating address at the Reichstag, declaring war on Poland and tearing up his naval pact with Britain. War, it seemed, had become truly inevitable. Join Dominic and Tom as they discuss the build up to Hitler's invasion of Poland, one of the darkest episodes of all time, and the moment that the Second World War truly began. _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Editor: Jack Meek Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

Ryback  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Takeover-Hitlers-Final-Rise-Power/dp/0593537424 From the internationally acclaimed author of Hitler's Private Library, a dramatic recounting of the six critical months before Adolf Hitler seized power, when the Nazi leader teetered between triumph and ruin In the summer of 1932, the Weimar Republic was on the verge of collapse. One in three Germans was unemployed. Violence was rampant. Hitler's National Socialists surged at the polls. Paul von Hindenburg, an aging war hero and avowed monarchist, was a reluctant president bound by oath to uphold the constitution. The November elections offered Hitler the prospect of a Reichstag majority and the path to political power. But instead, the Nazis lost two million votes. As membership hemorrhaged and financial backers withdrew, the Nazi Party threatened to fracture. Hitler talked of suicide. The New York Times declared he was finished. Yet somehow, in a few brief weeks, he was chancellor of Germany.  In fascinating detail and with previously un-accessed archival materials, Timothy W. Ryback tells the remarkable story of Hitler's dismantling of democracy through democratic process. He provides fresh perspective and insights into Hitler's personal and professional lives in these months, in all their complexity and uncertainty—backroom deals, unlikely alliances, stunning betrayals, an ill-timed tax audit, and a fateful weekend that changed our world forever. Above all, Ryback details why a wearied Hindenburg, who disdained the “Bohemian corporal,” ultimately decided to appoint Hitler chancellor in January 1933.

PREVIEW: REICHSTAG: Author Timothy Ryback, "Takeover," explains that the NSDAP under Hitler used its democratically elected power to destroy democracy with gridlock. More tonight. 1930 Reichstag

We look at the rise of the Nazis and how they created and ruled what they called Germany's “Third Reich”. When Hitler became ‘Chancellor' - that means prime minister - Germany was still a democracy. How did Hitler and the Nazis turn a country with elections and a variety of political parties (groups) into a dictatorship where the Nazi party had eliminated all other groups, giving themselves total power?  There are lots of photos from our trip to Germany on https://www.dadandmelovehistory.com/ WARNING regarding young children: towards the end, we do discuss the Holocaust. After the end theme music you'll find these questions, followed by outtakes: 1. What does the German word  “Reich” mean? 2. In the summer of 1914 in Munich, what news was announced that Hitler liked? 3. Before the Nazis' 1923 attempt to take over Germany, Hitler was not well-known. When the Nazis tried to begin a revolution in 1923 in Munich to take over Germany, why do you think they failed? 4. What do you think Hitler and the Nazis gained from this failed revolution of 1923? 5. The people of Germany later voted for Hitler and the Nazi Party more than for any other party. When did Hitler become ‘Chancellor' (Prime Minister) of Germany? 6. What was ‘Dachau' and why do you think the Nazis wanted it to be built so soon after the Nazis took over Germany? 7. What were the Nuremberg Trials and who was Rudolf Hess? 8. Why were these trials important?

David Waldman is back again plowing through another KITM cold bedraggled, and as all of us, undermedicated for the task at hand. David was out with this cold on Friday, and I wrote a summary to an imaginary KITM. The summary to that summary: Tech bros created Spanish language dialect sensitive AI chatbots algorithm linked to young male Latino social media accounts based on what countries they follow in soccer, or any other niche criteria. They then had disinformation and conspiracy theories tailored specifically to them, but with the ultimate goal being GOTV for Donald Trump. Or to sum up that summary, while we were door-knocking, they were TikTokking. So, President Donald Trump was… look, all that takes more typing than he's worth. I'm going with D this term. D's dictating his cabinet. No Hulk Hogan or Kid Rock, but he might be thinking SCOTUS with them. Susie Wiles will head up Apartheid when Elon's busy and otherwise will be the focus of media fluff pieces on her grandmotherly charm. Elise Stefanik and Marco Rubio will… Wait, don't they hate D? Doesn't he hate them? Sure, they all hate each other. Never Trumpers are just Trumpers who haven't been assigned a position yet. Which brings us to Jonathan V. Last and the Bulwark, who urge us to let the Reich be the Reich, those things historically burn themselves out in around 4 years or so, no worries. Kevin Roberts, chief architect of Project 2025, hasn't found a Reichstag to burn, but does have an otherwise well-rounded list of incendiary targets. Roberts has named the Boy Scouts and Loudoun Schools, but conspicuously snubbed David Waldman for his pyre. Schools urge parents to be more sympathetic to the sexual harassing children. Black people are urged to pick cotton. Vladimir Putin is itching to take his new country out for a test drive, after all he was promised 24-hour delivery. The Russia-Ukraine war will be over in a day… that is, if no one else objects. Russian TV broadcast images of Melania Trump nude with the United States Seal behind her. If you want a picture of Melania with a Navy Seal behind her, it'll cost you extra. Judge Juan Merchan delayed his immunity decision in the NY hush money case, because, why not? Phil Williams, who we needed 500 more of the last ten years, has joined Bluesky.
