Mass suicides in Nazi Germany
Article
Talk
亥
^
During the final weeks of Nazi Germany and World War I! in Europe, many civilians, government officials, and military personnel throughout Germany and German-occupied Europe committed suicide. In addition to Adolf Hitler and many high-ranking Nazi officials like Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, and Philipp Bouhler, others chose suicide rather than accept the defeat of Germany.!"! Motivating or triggering factors included fears of execution for Nazi war
crimes or reprisals and atrocities by the Allies and the Soviets, Nazi propaganda glorifying suicide as preferable to defeat, and despondency after Hitler's suicide. For example, in May 1945, up to 1,000 people killed themselves in a mass suicide in the German town of Demmin, before and after

It is effectively a license for Trump to cancel the election in whichever states and counties he wants — it only takes one ostensibly variant ballot to not transmit a vastly larger batch of fully compliant ballots, which is insane.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

What a gift to the nation that this man is president www.vanityfair.com/story/the-wi...
Kiyosaki has written two books with Donald Trump: Why We Want You to Be Rich (2006) and Midas Touch (2011). There were plans for a third, but they apparently got derailed when Trump announced he was running for president. “I love the guy,” Kiyosaki tells me. “He’s an asshole, but there’s no two Donald Trumps.” He describes one meeting with Trump at Trump Tower. Kiyosaki had been on CNBC with Maria Bartiromo earlier that day, and Trump asked him if Bartiromo was “as hot as she looks.” Kiyosaki’s wife, Kim, objected: “Donald, you already have Melania.” Trump’s reply: “But I’ve already fucked Melania.”

Another day, another impeachable offense: The White House ordered federal agencies to block resources to Colorado because it had punished an election denier. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/u...
As President Trump fumed late last year over Colorado's imprisonment of Tina Peters, a convicted election denier, a White House special assistant organized an urgent "brainstorm call."
The goal, outlined in an email sent to officials at five federal agencies, was to "prioritize Colorado for the purposes of ensuring grants and federal support are in line with administration priorities," the assistant, Emily Underwood, wrote on Dec.
15.
"Please come prepared to discuss immediate actions that your department or agency can take with respect to Colorado," Ms. Underwood added.
The next day, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Energy, whose representatives were invited to the brainstorm, announced they were canceling hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants for Colorado projects.
