Thank you, Marc Caputo. Where ever you are.
As we use to say euphemistically in the Marine Corps, “You can let your sword hang out. You can let your sword hit the deck. You can drag your sword through the mud. But don’t ever… EVER… step on your sword.”
In a strange sort of way, I kind of feel bad for alleged reporter Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling of the screamingly leftie The New Republic. She didn’t just step on it. She stomped on it.
But, of course… this gal insists on making yet another tired, same-old same-old trip to the “Trump is a Nazi!” well (emphasis mine);
“Immigrants are no longer welcome in Donald Trump’s America. Instead, the Republican presidential nominee posited that under his potential second administration, he would round up and mass-deport noncitizens based on their “serial numbers.”
“But we’re getting the criminals out, and we’re going to do that fast, and we know who they are, and the local police know their names, and they know their serial numbers,” Trump said. “They know everything about them.”
“Trump has regularly mimicked Adolf Hitler during his campaign. But the mention of serial numbers—a terrifying echo of the identification numbers forcibly tattooed on concentration camp prisoners—is one of his most chilling references yet.“
Unfortunately for Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling (all three of them), Marc Caputo kinda blows her narrative out of the water.
Loads of Hitler comparisons here because because Trump mentioned a “serial number” for immigrants, but the govt already issues something called an “A Number” to “aliens”
That is, they already have serial numbers

I have to admit, some of these responses are priceless.
Wait until they hear about social security numbers

But I need to call Trump Hitler, clutch my pearls and faint. So I’ll just pretend I’m right anyway and carry on said every leftist everywhere

Trump also has two arms & legs. You know who else did? Hitler. Last time I checked, so does Putin. Hard to argue with that science. People need to connect the dots right in front of them.
