Hitler wasn't "Hitler" until he became the evil man known as Hitler So, when you hear idiots say "calling Trump 'Hitler' is too far", remember: Trump wasn't "Trump" until he became the evil man known as Trump- and we're not far from him becoming "Hitler".

Want to shout out Yale, and especially their QB, Dante Reno. Former Yale head coach, and Dante’s dad, Tony Reno passed away yesterday. He’d been the head coach for the Bulldogs for over a decade until he stepped down last Spring Dante played today, put up big numbers, and led Yale to a win.
