    IOW, Acosta was pretty good appointment for Obama and Trump.

    "Most recently, Secretary Acosta served as the dean of the FIU College of Law.

    Secretary Acosta has twice been named one of the nation’s 50 most influential Hispanics by Hispanic Business magazine. He was also named to the list of 100 most influential individuals in business ethics in 2008. In 2013, the South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce presented him with the Chairman’s Higher Education Award in recognition of his “outstanding achievements, leadership and determination throughout a lifetime of caring and giving back to the community.” your source

    Just like Adolph Hitler's ~1939 rants -- identical.

    Fake News.

    The magistrate who signed off on the raid on Trump's home was on Acosta's prosecution team until he switched sides and joined the Epstein defense team. This effectively neutered the US Attorney's trial strategy. They were luck to get a deal. Epstein would have been acquitted if the trial had gone forward.

    Surely you know by know that Feds with "Rolex-and-Gucci Tastes" have a history of selling out for the right price.

    Partisans tend to be blind to the Inconvenient Truth:

    Veterans/Military

    * Issued an executive order requiring the Secretaries of Defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs to submit a joint plan to provide veterans access to access to mental health treatment as they transition to civilian life. https://www.army.mil/article/198936/president_trump_signs_order_to_improve_mental_health_care_for_transitioning_veterans

    * He created a White House VA Hotline to help veterans and principally staffed it with veterans and direct family members of veterans. https://www.va.gov/ve/whvahotline.asp

    * VA employees are being held accountable for poor performance, with more than 4,000 VA employees removed, demoted, and suspended so far. https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/2018/01/03/va-firings-spiked-after-trump-signed-the-new-accountability-law-last-year/

    * Trump finalized the creation of Space Force as our 6th Military branch. https://www.spaceforce.mil/

    First Step Act/Criminal Justice

    * In 2018, President Trump signed the groundbreaking First Step Act, a criminal justice bill that enacted reforms that make our justice system fairer and help former inmates successfully return to society. https://www.bop.gov/inmates/fsa/overview.jsp

    • The First Step Act’s reforms addressed inequities in sentencing laws that disproportionately harmed Black Americans and reformed mandatory minimums that created unfair outcomes.
    • The First Step Act expanded judicial discretion in the sentencing of non-violent crimes.
    • Over 90% of those benefitting from the retroactive sentencing reductions in the First Step Act are Black Americans. https://thegrio.com/2019/06/11/federal-report-first-step-act-black-men/
    • The First Step Act provides rehabilitative programs to inmates, helping them successfully rejoin society and not return to crime.
    * The Trump Administration is promoting second chance hiring to give former inmates the opportunity to live crime-free lives and find meaningful employment. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-second-chance-hiring/

    * Trump’s DOJ and the Board Of Prisons launched a new “Ready to Work Initiative” to help connect employers directly with former prisoners. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/president-donald-j-trump-helping-americans-gain-second-chance-build-brighter-future/

    * Violent crime has fallen every year he’s been in office after rising during the 2 years before he was elected. https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckdevore/2019/10/10/us-violent-crime-rate-down-5-showing-president-trumps-combination-of-law-and-order-and-criminal-justice-reform-go-together-making-america-safer/#41633fd379cc

    Historically Black Colleges and Universities

    * Trump increased funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) by more than 14%. https://apnews.com/c4834e48841d97c5a93312b1bf75302a

    * Trump signed legislation forgiving Hurricane Katrina debt that threatened HBCUs. https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/secretary-devos-issues-full-forgiveness-hbcu-hurricane-relief-loans

    * Made HBCUs a priority by creating the position of executive director of the White House Initiative on HBCUs. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-executive-order-white-house-initiative-promote-excellence-innovation-historically-black-colleges-universities/

    * Trump received the Bipartisan Justice Award at a historically black college for his criminal justice reform accomplishments. https://www.abccolumbia.com/2019/10/25/president-donald-trump-receives-bipartisan-justice-award-in-columbia/

    Blah blah blah.

    Future generations will look back on the Trump presidency as really fairly insignias. All the dramatic chicken little TDS will be laughed at more so than it is now.

    You lost this discussion with that comment. Godwin’s law invoked. Comparison of an American political leader with Hitler or Nazis ends the discussion with the one doing so a real loser

    What you've proven is you don't have an argument, so you've "invoked a thought terminating cliche":

    A thought-terminating cliché (also known as a semantic stop-sign, a thought-stopper, bumper sticker logic, or cliché thinking) is a form of loaded language, often passing as folk wisdom, intended to end an argument and quell cognitive dissonance. Its function is to stop an argument from proceeding further, ending the debate with a cliché rather than a point..
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_cliché

    "Harvard researchers published an article showing (Godwin's Law) the phenomenon does not occur with statistically meaningful frequency"

    Comparing Trump to Hitler was the original thought terminating cliche here. No more dialogue with said person need occur

    I don't think Trump was clever enough to "do a Hitler".
    He wasn't interested in coercing business to prop up his government, nor did he try to scapegoat à recognisable ethnic group or in ethnic cleansing.
    What was so dangerous was his efforts at thought control and his view of himself within the construct of American governance. His efforts to reverse reality, change perceptions and call efforts to reflect reality, false news, which itself is false news. That he thought HE could create what is honesty and truth.
    It is the insidious 1984 Ministry of Truth thing. And once you get enough people to believe that whatever you pronounce is truth, or declare what isn't the truth, you can control them by à single rally or address.
    It is THIS which all tyrants and dictators long for. To create their own world.

    Since tRaitor tRump keeps a copy of "Mein Kumph" in his night stand, and is the only book he's known to have read, it's amazing more comparisons between Hitler and tRaitor tRump aren't made.

    But, being a tRumpublican RINO, I get why your were XXX on the spot trying to tamp it down.

    Does it ever occur to the more frightened voters who support the right, that any insurrection or governmental overthrow will almost certainly come from the right?

    Ask yourself who is most likely to overrun congress, collect guns enough to rerun the civil war, imagines and believes the most créative conspiracy theories and bow to présidents who steal government documents tells you truth is liés, and pretends to be indispensable?
    And criticise the others for demanding equal human respect and pulls down à few statues of slave owners. From this the right thinks the nation is in danger.
    Phwaa. Look in the mirror.i know who is more dangerous.
