Hillary Clinton has accused Donald Trump of re-enacting a Nazi rally by holding an event in Madison Square Garden this weekend. The Telegraph has more.
As well as being the site of the NBA finals and four Democratic National Conventions, the arena was once used to host a pro-Nazi rally six months before the outbreak of World War II.
“One other thing that you’ll see next week… is Trump actually re-enacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939. I write about this in my book,” Ms. Clinton told CNN on Thursday evening.
The former Secretary of State criticised Trump for his choice of location, telling viewers: “I don’t think we can ignore it.”
“President Franklin Roosevelt was appalled that neo-Nazis, fascists in America were lining up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government that they were seeing in Germany. So I don’t think we can ignore it,” she said.
“Now, it may be a leap for some people and a lot of others may think, ‘I don’t want to go there. I don’t want to say that’. But please open your eyes to the danger that this man poses to our country, because I think it is clear and present for anybody paying attention.”
Asked if she agreed with former White House chief of staff John Kelly’s classification of Trump as a “fascist”, Ms. Clinton said: “The term fits.”
Worth reading in full.
With Kamala Harris saying this week that she believes that Donald Trump “is a fascist”, this seems to be the Dems’ final-hour strategy to smear Trump: liken him to Hitler. Desperate stuff.
Stop Press: The Washington Post has refused to endorse Kamala Harris, the first time in 36 years that the paper has not endorsed a Presidential candidate, according to Breitbart, and hot on the heels of a non-endorsement from the L.A. Times, her hometown paper. Ouch.

If you haven’t filled your stomach with beef the are you really going to feel like some chocolate? This is nothing. You will have no meat no fresh produce just insect-meal. It strikes me that you are clinging to a bygone age.
Just imagine the hordes of insects being marched into molten chocolate only to solidify in rows in their eco-boxes.
That reminds me of the chocolate covered ants you could buy in Exeter when I was a kid (unless you preferred the fried grasshoppers). They were clearly ahead of the curve. But I think they may have been in a tin, and those use fossil fuel
Personally I preferred the cockroach cluster or crunchy frog.

Our times have no anthems or music in this country. You might want to look at that. Given that we live in a time of great upheaval and yet there is no poetry. Even in The Great Depression in America you had the likes of Woody Guthrie talking about A Better World a’comin. Are we really that deflated as a nation I think we need to acknowledge that we are if it is to improve.

The rapist’s Dad has called it a day.
TFFT!
I hope Annie, once of these parts and more lately of Lockdown Sceptics reddit, is rejoicing. Dungford, as she called him.
You won’t bring your country back to life by talking about it. Most of the battle is seeing how they robbed or occluded you. My only wish is to try and help a people heading foir disaster because I love the language and the literature and all the regions. I hope that there is the energy left to save it. They will never beat it out of me I carry the mythos around. Just don’t take it for granted and in our time we should support each other.
We are talking about imminent escalation on two fronts. It is easy when its just on a sceen but honestly you need to have the physical conditioning and alacrity to be able to deal with things. If you are an out of shape couch potato then that is perfectly understandable but it will make a difference if you switch into a different mode.
No chocolates then?
Marzipan fruits are my favorite
On a slightly less posh shopping mission, I looked in Sainsbury’s for some decent chocs for my missus. Picking up a box of a very well known British brand, with a cardboard top,
I immediately noted that there was some plastic, six pieces of sellotape about 10mm wide and 25mm long, three per side, fastening the top to the bottom of the box. Amazingly, someone had run their thumbnail across the strips on one side and had removed three chocolates.
Obviously I purchase a box of a Swiss brand that was enveloped in a thin but secure transparent and hygenic wrapping.
Note that even with all six sellotape strips intact, the box was quite open to dust and any bug that passed by.
One hopes that some pensioner didn’t buy a box with missing chocolates. And perhaps others that have been licked.
How long before we have cretins and crims holding Sainsbury’s to ransom because they have very easily inserted something toxic into a box somewhere?
Proper packaging isn’t just to make the box shiny, you know.
But of course, Sainsbury’s think that saving the planet is most important.
Plastic is a great product. And guess what it NEVER chucks itself on the ground. It is people who do that. So why do we blame innocent plastic for destroying the planet?
To avoid the queues at F&M use the St Pancras one. No idea what kind of chocolates they well but their mince pies and cognac butter are nice, especially washed down with their Irish Breakfast tea. But I am now worried at what might be in the mince pies!
