Angered By Anti-Nazi Wit
Comedians Banned For Humorous
Remarks on Leaders:

BERLIN, Feb. 4 - (U.P.)
When Propaganda Minister
Paul Joseph Goebbels yesterday blasted Germany's cafe society, he called it "society rabble and intellectual snobs," for laughing at comedians who make Nazi leaders the butts of their jokes.
Goebbels turned his anger upon the "society rabble" after announcing that live German actors had been banned from the stage for publicly rediculing Nazi party and state functionaries. He

of humor in Nazi Germany, but


said that it must be kept "good-

"There is plenty of humor in


Germany, more than enough," he
said in

three and one-half

party's newspape

Worse than I thought! For example: “John Lilly, a neurophysiologist and psychedelic researcher who once used LSD to investigate dolphin communication, famously abused ketamine until he believed that he was contacted by an extraterrestrial entity who removed his penis.”

Sen. Thom Tillis, it's time to stand up to President Trump's harmful agenda. You MUST protect Medicaid and Social Security for the millions of North Carolinians that you're elected to represent. Our state's health and wellbeing shouldn't be sacrificed for political gain.

Let's keep it real. There is no mandate for Trump, Musk, or MAGA. It's just another lie directed to the low information voter, so they can continue demolishing Democracy by claiming this is what the people voted for. Uh, no we fucking didn't. #USDemocracy

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Bannon: "The number one enemy to the people of Israel are American Jews who... do not support MAGA." First Bannon does Hitler salute at CPAC. Now he's making threats against American Jews who do not toe the party line. Wake up, America.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...
