I heard heard recently that it is legally forbidden in Germany to discuss Nazis and Adolph Hitler online.
However, here is what this dinosaur Alabama lawyer used Wikipedia to find:
Perhaps America should have passed a similar law after World War II.
YouTube does not allow Adolph Hitler to be a podcast hash tag. I find that unfathomable, since Adolph Hitler is an actual historical figure, who greatly impacted Europe, Russia and America.
YouTube's position is, it doesn't allow anything that might incite violence. Perhaps some day YouTube will not allow Donald Trump in a hashtag?
As for whether there is any similarity between Donald Trump and Adolph Hitler, in 2016, Trump was reluctant to renounce the endorsement of former KKK leader David Duke.
After he was in the White House, Trump said there were good people on both sides of the Charlottesville, Virginia near-riots over Confederate monuments being removed from public view.
Here is a photo of the good people on the side of not removing the Confederate monuments.
As for what Ivana Trump had to say about hubby Donald and Adolph Hitler, consider this Business Insider article.
Donald Trump's ex-wife once said Trump kept a book of Hitler's speeches by his bed
Business Insider Sep 1, 2015, 7:25 AM
According to a 1990 Vanity Fair interview, Ivana Trump once told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that her husband, real-estate mogul Donald Trump, now a leading Republican presidential candidate, kept a book of Hitler's speeches near his bed.
"Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed ... Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist," Marie Brenner wrote.
Hitler was one of history's most prolific orators, building a genocidal Nazi regime with speeches that bewitched audiences.
"He learned how to become a charismatic speaker, and people, for whatever reason, became enamored with him," Professor Bruce Loebs, who has taught a class called the Rhetoric of Hitler and Churchill for the past 46 years at Idaho State University, told Business Insider earlier this year.
"People were most willing to follow him, because he seemed to have the right answers in a time of enormous economic upheaval.

When Brenner asked Trump about how he came to possess Hitler's speeches, "Trump hesitated" and then said, "Who told you that?"
"I don't remember," Brenner reportedly replied.
Trump then recalled, "Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of 'Mein Kampf,' and he's a Jew."
Brenner added that Davis did acknowledge that he gave Trump a book about Hitler.
"But it was 'My New Order,' Hitler's speeches, not 'Mein Kampf,'" Davis reportedly said. "I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish.”
After Trump and Brenner changed topics, Trump returned to the subject and reportedly said, "If, I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."
In the Vanity Fair article, Ivana Trump told a friend that her husband's cousin, John Walter "clicks his heels and says, 'Heil Hitler," when visiting Trump's office.
Here's the entire Vanity Fair interview.
Excerpt from the Vanity Fair article:
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
"Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?" I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. "Who told you that?"
"I don't remember," I said.
"Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." ("I did give him a book about Hitler," Marty Davis said. "But it was My New Order, Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish.")
Later, Trump returned to this subject. "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."
Is Ivana trying to convince her friends and lawyer that Trump is a crypto-Nazi? Trump is no reader or history buff. Perhaps his possession of Hitler's speeches merely indicates an interest in Hitler's genius at propaganda. The Führer often described his defeats at Stalingrad and in North Africa as great victories. Trump continues to endow his diminishing world with significance as well. "There's nobody that has the cash flow that I have," he told The Wall Street Journal long after he knew better. "I want to be king of cash."
As for whether or not Donald Trump heads a white supremacy attempt to take over America, consider these photos:
In the law is the doctrine of Res Ipsa Loquitur (the thing speaks for itself), which is evidentiary in court proceedings.
Based on all this Independent former practicing attorney reads, sees on TV, on Facebook and elsewhere online, and hears in personal conversations, most Republicans and their MAGA siblings could care less what the rest of America, and the rest of the world, think about January 6. What they care about is making sure they retake the White House and all of Congress at the ballot box. They already control the US Supreme Court.
Then there's:
President for life? Trump says 'maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day'
Gregory Korte
USA TODAY
Mar 4, 2018
WASHINGTON — President Trump spoke in approving terms of his Chinese counterpart's consolidation of power Saturday, telling campaign donors in Florida that maybe the United States should follow suit.
Calling Chinese President Xi Jinping "a great gentleman" and "the most powerful president in 100 years," Trump suggested that he'd like to follow Xi's example and abolish term limits.
"He's now president for life. President for life. No, he's great," Trump said. "And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day."
It was not clear whether the comment was made in jest.
The remarks came in a closed-door luncheon fundraiser at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla. Saturday. CNN obtained a recording of Trump's speech.
While it might be romantic to hope for the original Ghostbusters crew to return to action and debug Donald Trump and his heel-clicking legions, that might be as futile as hoping Trump is seized and put on one of Elon Musk's rockets to Mars to save America from a reincarnation of Adolph Hitler, on some of whose golf courses Saudi Arabia pays mercenaries huge sums just to show up and play. Trump must have forgotten he blamed Saudi Arabia for 9/11, but I doubt he forgot twice being financially bailed out by a Saudi prince.
Excerpts from a Rolling Stone article in my Apple newsfeed today:
Yet again, the only thing standing between former President Trump and a public stance is a signature on a check. At a Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament, held at Trump’s Bedminster golf course Thursday, the former President told reporters that “nobody’s gotten to the bottom of 9/11,” signaling a reversal from Trump’s previous conviction that the Saudi government was responsible for the terrorist attack that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.
The cash-rich LIV has been soaked in controversy since its inception, with many raising concerns that the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is using the golf circuit as “sports-washing” to rehabilitate its public image. In 2018, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was assassinated and dismembered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, allegedly under orders from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, prompting international condemnation. Two of LIV’s 14 events are slated to take place at Trump owned properties.
“I think LIV has been a great thing for Saudi Arabia, for the image of Saudi Arabia,” Trump told the Wall Street Journal in an interview on Tuesday. When asked by a reporter about the financial gains of hosting the tournaments, Trump deflected that he didn’t “do it for that,” but added: “They’ve been very generous.”
Last week, family members of victims of the 9/11 terror attacks sent Trump a letter expressing their “deep pain and anger” over his decision to “host the Saudi Golf League (‘LIV’) at your Bedminster, New Jersey, property.” The letter reminded the former President of his previous public statements laying blame for 9/11 on the Saudis, including a 2016 interview on Fox News where Trump told host Sean Hannity that, “It was Saudi,” not Iraq, that “blew up the World Trade Center.”
“Take a look at Saudi Arabia. Open the documents,” Trump insisted at the time. “We ought to get Bush or somebody to have the documents opened because frankly if you open the documents, I think you are going to see it was Saudi Arabia.” Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the attacks, 15 were Saudi citizens. “Those people would have not been in the country had my policies been intact,” Trump asserted.
Hmmm.
Here's President Donald Trump being blessed by the Saudi Crown Prince, who had a journalist killed and sawed up, after the journalist was not kind to the Saudi Prince.
When president, Trump railed against any and all news reports that did not paint him splendid. If he becomes president again, how do you think he will want to treat American journalists who do not please him?
I read this morning that Great Britain's Prince Charles is involved in a large charity that accepted a one million pounds donation from the Saudi bin Laden family after 9/11, which recently was made known and the outrage in Great Britain is great.
So, I wonder how American armed service veterans in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, who have supported Donald Trump, now feel about him being up to his neck in bed with Saudi Arabia's LIV tour, and with him recanting everything he once said about the Saudis and Saudi Arabia being in on 9/11?
I dunno, this is such a great deep and ever-widening toxic swamp that perhaps it's best for me to simply throw up my hands and say I'm so way out of my depth that I should just stick to what I was originally trained by angels to do, which is how to move closer to God, which America claims on its money, it trusts, claims in its Pledge of Allegiance is one nation under, and claims in its Declaration of Independence is its Authority.
While Donald Trump's robot legions click their heels and salute him.
