1. Such appalling events

Emilie Landecker was 19 when she went to work for Benckiser, a German company that made industrial cleaning products and also took pride in cleansing its staff of non-Aryan elements.

It was 1941. Ms. Landecker was half Jewish and terrified of deportation. Her new boss, Albert Reimann Jr., was an early disciple of Adolf Hitler and described himself as an “unconditional follower” of Nazi race theory.

Meh. The heart wants what the heart wants.

None of this is relevant today. Unless Trump likes Krispy Kream donuts, then all bets are off.

It’s the New York Times.

Don’t believe them. Don’t trust them. Would NEVER act on any of their articles. They are pure evil, never to return to be “the paper of record.”

Punishment is aaaaalL they deserve.

NYT: Trump and Hitler are BAD.
AOC and Stalin are GOOD. (Look up Walter Duranty.)

Walter Duranty was a pure leftwing communist and his fake news reporting earned him and the NYT a Pulitzer.
