h/t JoNova – According to The Nation, anyone who suggests others are laughing at their nation’s past policy mistakes is channeling Adolf Hitler.
Trump Echoed Hitler in His Speech Withdrawing From the Paris Climate Accord
Seriously—it’s not a direct quote from the Führer, but it’s perilously close.
By Sasha AbramskyJUNE 2, 2017
On September 30, 1942, shortly after the death camps began gassing Jews, Hitler declared, “In Germany too the Jews once laughed at my prophecies. I don’t know whether they are still laughing, or whether they have already lost the inclination to laugh, but I can assure you that everywhere they will stop laughing. With these prophecies I shall prove to be right.”
Five weeks later, he declared, “Today countless numbers of those who laughed at that time, laugh no longer. Those who are still laughing now, also will perhaps laugh no longer after a while.”
On June 1, 2017, Donald Trump announced that he was pulling America out of the Paris climate accord. “At what point does America get demeaned? At what point do they start laughing at us as a country? We want fair treatment for its citizens and we want fair treatment for our taxpayers. We don’t want other leaders and other countries laughing at us anymore, and they won’t be. They won’t be.”
It’s not a direct quote from Hitler, but it’s perilously close.

I would suggest that the ongoing efforts by some of America’s Mainstream Media to try to smear President Trump couldn’t possibly get any sillier, but I’m worried I might be accused of quoting Attila the Hun.
Sheesh, maybe that’s what inspired this wardrobe malfunction by the SkS Kiddies. Yep, that’s der Fuehrer’s head on John Cook’s body !
Didn’t Farage say something similar to EU parliament just after the Brexit vote ?
Funny, I thought “they aren’t laughing now” was a common english expression. I did not realise it came from a translation of a german expression.
Funny, I thought “they aren’t laughing now” was a common english expression.
No, “they aren’t funny now” is a common English expression, used to describe German expressions.
Here we are Farage channelling Hilter 😉
‘You are not laughing now, are you?’ Nigel Farage at European Parliament
A related English expression is “it’s gone all quiet over there” – when your football (soccer) team scores an away goal.

Contrary to “Brad Keyes”, “They aren’t laughing now” is a common British expression, and “they aren’t funny now” is not.
[Sorry mods, I mal-linked the image—feel free to delete the blank comment]
That last important leader to pull out of Paris was Ayot’o’llah Ruh’o’llah Khomeni.
The only important leader to pull out of the Paris Accord was Donald Trump.
Paris is so much more than the Paris Accord.
I presume the poster meant to say “THE LAST GUY WHOSE NAME WE CAN SPELL WHO PULLED OUT OF PARIS”
The previous image should be replaced with this one:
Phil:
“The previous image should be replaced with this one:”
Why? People are trying to eat here. That face deserves a trigger warning, at least. Besides, my version was funnier.
Truth is funniness, funniness truth, and that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
Sorry Phil, I messed up yet another URL, didn’t I? I’m fast becoming the John Cook of blogging.
If we want to know the last guy who pulled out of Paris, maybe should just ask her?
I wouldn’t know. I can’t afford to spend a night in a Hilton.
Hmmm … Hitler and the Nazis invaded Paris. They occupied it for a number of years. The Allies (with a lot of US muscle) liberated Paris from a draconian Government.
OK. I can see the comparison.
But this time it’s more than just a city being liberated.
Phil, why are you posting pictures of evil murdering scum?
That man is no better than islamist terrorists.
Is this a climate blog, or what?
Griff, some restraint please:
“Phil, why are you posting pictures of evil murdering scum?”
Cook (or der Johannes Koch) may be scum, but when has he ever murdered evil?
So I guess Kathy Griffin is the new Goebbels in this scenario?
I highly suspect “we” are supposed to be outraged by this sort of ditsy crap, and agree that “hate speech” needs to be banned . . or at least earn a share of the “snowflake” label.
No hate speech shouldn’t be banned. Only ban it if it isn’t socialist hate speech.
Anything said by the BLIGT community (Bisecual, Lesbian, Inter-sex, Gay, Transvestite) is fine & just “fair turnabout”.
No, Goebels understood how to make propaganda work, not to fail totally and draw fire even from you own side.
Kathy Griffin is an idiot. No comparison.
I think closer to Heydrich or Eichman or Himmler since I don’t believe any of them personally killed anyone but had their proxies do the slaughtering. There’s no evidence that Griffin actually form the prop, script, organize the photo shoot, paint it, etc., etc. I.E., she had a cast of dozens, or maybe even hundreds actively working on the project — Goebbels only blew hot air around and killed his kids.
Wait, Griff is Kathy Griffin?
Can’t be. Whilst we may not often agree with Griff (well, perhaps never) – his comments are far too lucid to be the product of Kathy Griffin.
I thought that people always “laughed all the way to the bank.” – at least the U.S. economy will, while other countries will still be depleting their economies on the non-problem of climate change.
Hitler was a vegetarian, so then all ……
At the risk of getting into an interminable argument about labeling in politics, the green blob is much closer to classical fascism than a populist like Trump. Psychological projection, anyone?
Can you name any attack by alarmists against skeptics which isn’t a case of psychological projection?
It would be hilarious how pathologically absurd the alarmists behave if the consequences of attempting to mitigate the catastrophe they model weren’t so dire and there weren’t so many, ideologically driven people who believe in the fake science behind the unverifiable models.
And if some of them weren’t advocating elimination of people who disagree and some of them are unstable enough to actually try.
Can you really blame them for continually projecting, though?
We all know they can’t predict their way out of a wet paper bag, so what alternative do they have?
Oh. So that’s why the climate models are projecting rather than predicting.
Bingo.
There’s a reason the term ‘speculative science’ comes from the Latin meaning ‘mirror knowledge.’ The models, who (let’s face it) are all anorexic apart from the ones who are bulimic, reflect—no pun intended—something we see in ourselves.
Are you actually saying that climate change is in the eye of the beholder, like beauty?
Ron, I believe I’ve been as eminently clear as the written word permits:
Climate change is like any other kind. Pessimists see a glass half-full, optimists see a glass half-empty, and optometrists see a profit in claiming both glasses are wrong.

What are you writing about?
I’ve searched the page for “nothing burger”.
Whether you’re deriding, denouncing, ridiculing, etc. an author, article, publisher, whatever; that does not mean the one in your mind is also in anyone else’s; at least without strong hints.
According to the new left, f@scism is defined as anyone they don’t like.
That was a pretty quick invocation of Godwin’s Law.
I can hear them doing a Dana Carvey right now: “I said GodWIN, not GodLOSE!”
Psst: the idea that “invocation” and “violation/infraction” are synonyms is an urban myth.
So you confused me here. I did not mean to imply infraction or violation. Maybe I meant application who knows?
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches 1
Yep, that’s the “Law.”
Interestingly, in its original form it doesn’t even imply that you *lose* the debate by mentioning der Fuehrer.
So “infraction” wouldn’t really make sense, would it? I guess we both should have said “fulfilment.”
In fact Godwin had nothing against the use of WW2/Shoah analogies when appropriate.
He must be rolling in his chair to see how daily misused and misquoted his contribution to science is on the Internet.
Even the wikipedia definition for Godwin’s law gets you robo-moderated review. Don’t use the H word.
Thanks taz. I thought I was careful to use the der-F word instead. (Not “der Fred”, as Aussie kids say when mocking their peers, but the German one.)
I like fulfilment that’s the word that wasn’t coming to my thesaurus addled brain in the original post
Godwin’s Law says nothing about the merit of the comparison, merely the likelihood (1.00) that it will be made. The usefulness of Godwin’s Law, for any debate length, remains nullity (0.00).
Jorge, that’s correct—you don’t “win” or “lose” anything by “Godwinning” yourself.
Since the election …?
– Mike Godwin
Hitler is always mentioned by the warriors of good cause, unless they’re trying to implement a Holocaust.
Hugs’ corollary
Well, it wasn’t a direct quote and inferences are easy to capture while on the hunt. I’m apolitical but overthinking and making such far-reaching analogies works to polarize an already divided nation. Let’s work to galvanize instead.
-Sarah Sobieski
How about we prioritize? America first!
Clearly that post by Sasha Abramsky JUNE 2, 2017 demonstrates that he/she has not got 2 connected brain cells. Talk about scraping the barrel.
Not perilously close. Not close at all!!!! Only through a mess of context mangling could anyone make the comparison..
Wadda you mean? They both used nouns and vowels, didn’t the??
Not to mention consonants and verbs.
Mike,
not to put too fine a point on it, but our learned friends on the Affirmative team have a somewhat lower threshold for “peril” than the average well-adapted organism.
That’s what we mean when we call believalists “alarmists.”
Because Hitler loved animals and was vegetarian this mean that all vegetarians and animals lovers are like him and we are in trouble?
I once dated a girl named Eva and owned a German shepherd at one time. So did Hitler. Does that mean I’m a Nazi? If I was important enough to be mentioned in the MSM, somebody there would claim I am. The greenspeak in the press is out of control.
Because Hitler used to paint landscapes this mean all landscape painters are like him?
This cannot be more spurious. That is how this people do science. Find spurious trees in Yamal.
Actually, Adolf “predicted” (in 1942, during his endless “table talks”) that “clean, sustainable energy” is the way of the future (in his time, he meant hydroelectric and geothermal sources).
He was a progressive man all around, Bloomberg, Soros, and DiCaprio would hug him and kiss him… ahem.. if he would allow them.
Hitler’s abstemiousness was a carefully constructed, Goebbelsesque image. In actuality, he drank in moderation until late in the war. Officially, he was anti-drug, but Dr. Morell repeatedly injected him or supplied him with almost 100 substances, including puree of bull testicles and methamphetamines. Der Fuehrer was known to eat a bit of ham or other morsels that weren’t clearly of animal origin. Though he claimed to be “married to Germany,” he was sexually active with several women and, quite likely, based on statements of a number of high Nazis, more than several men. Did he love animals? He passed several strict animal protection laws. On the other hand, he ordered his dog poisoned with cyanide in order to test how effective it would be. Apparently it wasn’t fast enough, so he shot himself with his Walther pistol instantly after crushing his suicide pill in his mouth.
Jorge
so der Fuehrer was a pharma hypocrite, eh? Clean living for dich but not for mich? That would make him the L Ron Hubbard of craziness.
Thanks for those (and your other) historical insights in this thread.
Stay venerable, Jorge!
Hitler did not laugh.
Now why might my Venerable-Jorge-like comment be moderated?
Jest sayin’ ‘ H+++++ did not laugh.’ (
Alexander, the progressives of his day loved H1tler. Right up to the time he invaded Russia.
If anyone wishes to take the time, you can find many excerpts from speeches by past American presidential candidates that can be matched up to similar statements by Adolph himself. This includes Gore, Bush and others who used euphemisms such as “family values” (for example) to endear themselves to the voters.
Just because leaders say the things popular with their electorate does not put them in the same category as a megalomaniac who wished to distill the human race into his concept of perfection.
There were 5 or 6 words in common, even though they weren’t in the same order.
That’s close enough for leftists.
“…perilously close,” is an overstatement, to be sure. The President is not justifying a prediction but rather viewing the economics of the Paris agreement as totally one sided. And he is absolutely correct!!!
I rather would have seen him highlighting facts that 1: CO2 has caused no worldwide acceleration in Sea-Level Rise whatsoever, 2: CO2’s rise actually correlates with a decrease in US Hurricane landfalls, 3: CO2’s rise actually correlates with a decrease in US Tornado frequency, and 4: CO2’s rise actually correlates with a decrease in US Tornado intensity.
Perhaps these will appear in future press releases?
An overstatement?
They put forth the position that objecting to being laughed at makes one a Hitler clone.
“Perhaps these will appear in future press releases?”
Let’s hope. Right now the Trump administration seems to be running away from explaining their position on whether humans are causing the climate to change of not, just as fast as they can.
One has to wonder why they are dodging answering this question. Instead of answering, they change the subject to the economics of the Paris Accord. Totally unsatisfactory. The Trump administration needs to answer this question.
True, I have not heard any mention of the global greening which NASA documented and then ignored.
Seriously, if someone had shot up Dr Mann’s research quarters at Penn State, Obama would have made it into an attack on our freedom. Why can’t Trump even mention the misbehavior of the left? Is it just not newsworthy, given the present ‘climate’ in the press?
“Perhaps these will appear in future press releases?”
Don’t hold your breath. We are one F5 away from 90% of the media freaking out on air in apoplectic rage and panic.
DJT is wise to stay out of making a DEFINITIVE statement on the science.
In the current political climate, all the MSM has to do is roll out Bill Nye (or Bill Kibbon) as the “expert” who would then demonize Trump to the applause of 1/2 of America.
On the other hand, what he (and his surrogates) CAN do is to continue to emphasise that the Paris decision is about global politics and economics, and that we lead the world in CO2 REDUCTION while China emits twice the amount and would be allowed to INCREASE at least until 2030. Continue to give uncontested data around the resulting loss in specific US industries, e.g. mining, steel and automotive jobs.
He could THEN “play a blinder” (as our friends across the pond would say) and agree that the possibility that increasing CO2 could be catastrophic is VERY concerning to him, and therefore he is funding Red and Blue teams to publicly study and then present their findings on the issue with interactive and public dialogue.
Trump needs to recruit Senator Rand Paul. I heard Paul give a very good rebuttal to the AGW/CAGW narrative. Paul was just brimming with facts, whereas, so far, Trump’s spokespeople are hemming and hawing rather than giving any kind of decent answer.
I’m not saying Trump’s people should refute the science in detail, I just think they ought to say one way or the other, whether Trump thinks humans and their production of CO2 are causing the climate to do things it would not ordinarily do. Trump has *me* confused as to what he thinks about it now.
Just remember, if he gives the alamists an inch, they will take a mile. Hemming and hawing are giving the alarmists an inch.
TA,
“I’m not saying Trump’s people should refute the science in detail, I just think they ought to say one way or the other, whether Trump thinks humans and their production of CO2 are causing the climate to do things it would not ordinarily do.”
He’s basically got the climate alarmists/UN team rotating on a spit as it is, as far as I can tell, stuck with trying to somehow justify that atrocious “accord” . . Let ’em roast awhile, I say. As they flounder with their supposed solution, their credibility regarding the supposed problem will naturally suffer, it seems to me. What’s the hurry? Let ’em cook awhile, I say . . I’m sure they’d rather be calling him a “climate denier” and parading out the “experts” to do some more brainwashing . . I would if I were them ; )
I do wish Trump would adopt Senator Paul’s take on CAGW. Trump should refer all questions to Paul. 🙂
Comparing Trump with a famous socialist leader … Wow! Those bad losers have already tried to connect him to Putin.
Who’s next?
Maybe Hit1er hacked the election too?
Anything is possible today. The imagination is the limit.
They Saved His Brain, you know.
He hacked anyone who opposedhis election.
Hacking was a bit different then. More permanent outcome.
“Those bad losers have already tried to connect him to Putin.”
Just curious, did anybody get a phone call from someone who sounded like Boris or Natasha telling them to vote for the Donald? I never did.
You have to give credit to anybody who can hack the results of all the rural counties in the country to offset the illegal voting in urban counties, I guess.
They still haven’t provided a shred of evidence to support the claim that it was the Russians that hacked Hillary’s wide open e-mail server.
Gotta love it when people who are slightly to the left of Che Guevara accuse me of being “slightly to the right of Attila the Hun” or, interchangeably, “…of Genghis Khan.”
I doubt they know the difference; and I doubt it matters.
Because, y’know, Genghis was notorious for his small-government ideology, distrust of supranational aparatchiks, flat-tax advocacy, contempt for PC speech codes, preference for laissez-faire markets and deregulation wherever reasonable, friendship to small business owners and belief in the power of entrepreneurialism.
Oh wait, what they mean is “slightly to the EVIL of EVIL.”
It’s a revealing insult, as most insults are.
I think guys like Attila and Temüjin are a little hard to peg as left or right leaning. Their main historical records were related to their war strategies.
You’re absolutely correct-wing, of course.
Personally, I’m harder to peg than a yurt in a mudslide. I may deny the existence of science, but contrary to cliché my politics might least-badly be described as extremely centre-leaning.
Whether it’s possible to lean centripetally is a question for another day.
Well Brad, I have always said that I am exactly in the centre. Everyone else is either Right or Left of me.
(ps most people would call me right leaning)
Depending on whether they were left or right handed they would have been riding their horses left leaning or right leaning. It is very difficult indeed, to lop of an enemy’s riding by while sitting centered on the horse.
Which strategies involved the erection of mounds of skulls of their enemies, sparing those craftsmen who might be of use as slaves, not washing so as to smell not just foul but scary and of raping nubile female captives in order to make more Huns and Mongols, as the case might be.
“Seriously—it’s not a direct quote from the Führer, but it’s perilously close.”
Let me add some clarity:
“Seriously—it’s not a direct quote from the Führer, but it’s perilously close.[as I can make it]”
Note that the writer even sees peril in Trump’s words, which of themselves are innocent of such perils.
It’s ‘perilously close’ to end of the world because of climate change. Why so much hyperbole from these self loathing, pasty white scientists who run this climate show. Oh I see other races in it but they are just scattered among the cheerleaders, who are largely pasty white plump girls waving dumb signs printed on demand by other pasty white organizers. Man they sure know how to attract a crowd with this stuff.
It’s okay mods. I’m a pasty white guy, although I don’t loathe myself.
White men ran out of stuff to invent and had to come up with something to try to stay relevant.
The people have all the comforts in place and the white male is now to be discarded. I guess it will be up to the japanese to keep things running once we are gone.
Get out and buck hay if you’re able. That cures the pasty white syndrome and gives you an appreciation for how fast stuff grows anymore.
Didn’t JFK do that?..
“We don’t want other leaders and other countries laughing at us anymore, and they won’t be. They won’t be.”
That’s because the US is laughing at them gnashing their teeth.
Meh, just more noise. The Left are beginning to eat themselves. Hopefully nobody will appear and provide meaningful leadership to the Left.
How many did Michael Moore eat?
I think Trump should quote The Pope a bit. Just find similar innocuous stuff, the throw it into a speech and have Spicer tell the media how the President quoted the Pope.
Why validate that poser? That is so not Trump’s style..
Then his inner social conservative/anti-choice.fascist would be coming out.
Both use the words ‘the’. That’s really perilously close. Unprecedented? Worse than we thought?
The Führer said a lot of stuff. I suppose most speeches made today could be found to have some parallel with something the Führer said at some point…
Hitler liked dogs, though. He couldn’t attach himself to any humans, but at least to a dog. I don’t think Stalin managed even that.
That’s not completly true. He had a niece that he cared deeply for.
Until she killed herself.
Yeah but he forced his meat loving Alsatians to become vegetarians like him – as case of do as I say and do as I do. As far as we know the dogs weren’t forced to do like him and shoot up on crystal meth cocktails… Some attachment.
Stalin didn’t do meth as was less complicated: got his kicks from a few executions at Lubyanka prison every week, having a few million wasting away in the gulag and some nice ice pick work in Mexico City in 1940.
Until he killed her.

The Führer said a lot of stuff.

If you look on the Washington family coat of arms you see the famous Latin phrase from the Roman Poet, Ovid: “EXITUS ACTA PROBAT.” Roughly translated it means: “The result proves the acts.” It’s often translated to mean “The end justifies the means.” Hitler used that phrase, so both Washington and Ovid were directly quoting Hitler, and it’s perilously close–exact in fact. Shame on them both. /sarc

Profoundly so.

“He’s stealing my lines!” Cue the next Hitler parody…
It’s all part of the elaborate liar-dance they are doing. They just can’t help themselves, being pathological liars.

Strangely, when Plants and Phytoplankton get gassed with CO2, they produce more Food and Oxygen for animals. What’s laughable are the Paris Accord Nations who will continue their suicidal war on CO2, Plants, Phytoplankton, and Animals, when they”ll only tend to exterminate themselves.

That’s final then?
Merely more ad hominem journalism, better suited for the playground.
It seems all we have today are publications more suited for the bird cage or fish wrapping. It used to be these quality “journals” were only found in the supermarket check-out lines.
Journalism was never a bastion of Truth At Last at the best of times, so its decadence is less heartbreaking than that of science. Clisci has been called a very expensive scientia ad hominem, by me, and I tend to agree with myself.
Just to be clear – anything Hitler said is bad, right?
Absolutely! When he said “I like Brussels Sprouts” it damned Brussels Sprouts as an acceptable dinner food for All Time.
When he said “I like Brussels Sprouts” did he know that Brussels would become the jihad hub of Europe?
Lots of urban leftivists probably drive through cloverleaf intersections on a daily basis, completely unaware that ol’Adolf invented it.

Nigel Farage in June 2016 after the Brexit referendum in the UK, speaking in the European Parliament: 25 years ago I became member of this parliament with one purpose, to take the UK out of this organisation. You were laughing at me then. Well, you are not laughing now.
Was Farage quoting a) Julius Ceasar, b) Adolf Hitler or c) Dr Spock.
There a French brand of cheese called ‘the laughing cow’. I wonder who they are quoting.
You mean the laughing cow with Trump’s severed head – who’s now crying in her milk?
Sasha Abramsky, Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Apocalypse is not only a war against the mankind, but against all carbon-based life-forms on Earth. I challenge you to find worse atrocities written in the past.
Come on now, guys, human-Caused-CO2-Climate-Change skepticism is clearly genocidal, because by adopting the attitude of NOT taking steps to limit human-caused CO2, we are furthering the extermination of life, … no different than if we put all Earth’s creatures into a big greenhouse and turned on the CO2 gas that we heated up to kill them, … a striking parallel to death camps. How can you not see this ! And with Trump being a leader advocating such a mindset, … a leader who uses words in speeches, … specifically words about other people laughing at us, … well … what more do you need ? It’s history repeating itself on a grander, more sinister scale. Wake up !

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
It’s not a direct quote from Hitler, but it’s perilously close.
Neo, Gandhi and the Reverend Martin Luther King used non-violent tactics. But, that only works against Christians. It wouldn’t work against the NAZIs, or Communists, or Muslims.
In ancient Rome (494 BC), the common people were being oppressed and retreated from the city and didn’t come back until their demands were met. link
Islam, like Christianity, has many branches. It does have a non-violent tradition. link By the same token, Christians do have a history of bloodshed. link

Indeed!
For the first time in quite a while, the ‘fight’ is out in the open and we are ‘winning’ a few significant skirmishes!
Laughter is the best medicine. … Up ! … dangerously close to a Hitler quote.
[Humanity] has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. … Mark Twain channeling Hitler.
As soap is to the body, so laughter is to the soul. … Jewish proverb talking about laughter in the same context as soap, implying showers, implying death-camp showers — WOW, blasphemous to the nth degree ! … Hitler !
Words about being laughed at = Hitler talk. … same old simple-minded correlation crap … No real surprise here.
Desperate to demean is what I see.
I’m trying to encourage myself not to laugh at myself. How Hitlerish of me.
ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME !!! I object. I’m asking you to stop. I am Hitler [placing two fingers above upper lip].
It’s almost the same thing since they both used words in their speeches.
“It’s almost the same thing since they both used words in their speeches.”
Not even close. German oratory has no concept of the ‘word.’ It doesn’t even have a word for it. The atomic unit is the complete sentence, and these are strung together in a sliding volume scale, separated only by a variable number of exclamation marks to indicate one of the language’s five tones: plangent, trenchant, strident, and two others I can’t name within the character limitations of Anthony’s stupid WordPress setup.
So no.
Sorry for being such a German Nahtsee, but in linguistics, pedantry matters. It’s all that separates us from the lower races.

Putin is talking about the MSM and the Left. And yes, they do have too much time on their hands because their side lost the election and they are reduced to sniping from the sidelines. Even Putin is mocking the MSM and the American Left.
The false-positive-prone hackademic wibbles:
…as a lecturer in journalism, I know that were a student of mine to try to pass such words off as original, they would be flying perilously close to a plagiarism citation.
Such mustelism gives weasels a bad name. Hey, I can do that too:
…as someone who can read and write, I know that Sasha Abramsky flies perilously close to being a competent journalist, a competent journalism teacher, and a guy who doesn’t owe his students a refund on their tuition (where “perilously” = “not”).
I just noticed the money shot:
“….a plagiarism citation.”
When Abramsky learns English, will it be his second or third language? I’m assuming his parents only spoke Gibberish in the house.
Hey genius, I think you mean “…a non-citation citation.”
What utter nonsense!
Laugh on laugh on my friend

According to liberal logic, Hitler was paraphrasing a Tudor play?
(critique that Mosher)
♥ Bruno Ganz. He’s Swiss, BTW.
Also, Trump spoke in English. The other dude spoke in German.
I wonder whether the German language can be … adjusted … to come closer to the sought-after meaning, as temperature data can be … adjusted.
“Michael Mann” sort of reminds me of “Mein Fuhrer” — they both start with “m”.
Wow. Just wow. The historical literacy of the climate kooks is only matched by their lack of critical thinking skills.

Abramsky. Abramsky.

Coincidence?
Abramsky. Abramsky.

It’s not a direct copy of Alinski’s name, but it’s perilously close.
As a lecturer in journalism, I know that were a student of mine to try to pass such a surname off as original, they would be flying perilously close to a plagiarism citation.
By the way, in the second sentence of your comment (“Abramsky.”) you directly quoted your first sentence (“Abramsky.”).

“He who laughs last laughs best”
The phrase is so old in English that it goes back to the time, if not the pen, of Shakespeare:
This proverb originated in Tudor England but, for once, wasn’t coined by Shakespeare. It is found in print in the play Christmas Prince, which was first performed, at Cambridge, around 1608:
Laugh on laugh on my friend
Hee laugheth best that laugheth to the end

Hitler? These people have lost it.
When you get the beauty or as you know them the BBC also on the fake news by planting people in audiences then lord Haw Haw is alive in londonistan, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ffRiUQPgDYo&feature=youtu.be
In 2018 it will be a cake walk to win a congressional seat running as a Republican. Just put together all the garbage coming out of these hater’s mouths in a political commercial and then ask the question, do you want these people to govern you?
I think the climate discussion is just about dead, I hope it can be replaced with wiser discussions on striking a long term balance between man and nature.
David,
You are assuming the electorate is currently rational.
The anti Trumps are energised.
Donald will keep most of his base, but too many of my Republican friends and family have fallen for the “anti-science” frenzy effectively manufactured by the Dems and the MSM.
A similar scenario is occurring w/r/t health insurance. Many who shouted “repeal ObamaCare” are lamenting the manufactured statistic that 20 million poor will lose “health care”.
To AVOID a loss of seats Trump needs to:;
– avoid a major blunder (BHO made many and survived, Trump won’t survive one.)
– continue to deliver on campaign promises. (Obamacare replacement, budget, immigration)
…and in my opinion, stop IMPULSIVE tweeting. Pass them by SOMEBODY.
The problem is at present there are too many “intelligent” voters who AGREE with the garbage coming out of the haters mouths.
Well, this is certainly not the first time Warmists/Progressives have cried ‘Hitler’ or the Holocaust. That was the whole point of the ‘denier’ label.
Oh this is ripe for a Hitler Downfall parody.
ooops delete , Gabro above has it covered.
Spent the precautionary principal argue that we should not spend any money on climate until we know for sure it won’t make things worse? What I’d the cure is worse than the disease?
Fred, shame on you.
You missed 180 degree day.
Just as the Consensus Scientists reversed the null hypothesis re natural variation, they also reversed the Precautionary Principle.
It now means that if an action to avert climate catastrophe is uncertain in its effectiveness you should still do it anyway as a precaution to avert calamity.
Now you think I’m being facetious, or exaggerating.
Google “Precautionary Principle” and you will get pages and pages of variations of the definition I just gave backed by references to Climate agreements (e.g the Rio Convention). You will NOT find any references to the original meaning (Think before you jump).
More material for the “Re-elect Trump 2020” campaign provided for free by his opponents.
If Trump was quoting Hitler, I agree that he made a mistake. He should have used the following quote from Hitler to explain the global warming exaggerator’s insistence on perpetuating the scientifically incorrect proposition of catastrophic anthropologic global warming:
Adolph Hitler: “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”
Better yet, he should have quoted Joseph Goebbels, who goes further in explaining that the State must also be involved to perpetuate the lie:
Joseph Goebbels: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Does Godwin’s law apply to that as well?
British comedian Bob Monkhouse (1928-2003)
I guess you can’t say this anymore: “He who laughs last laughs best.” It’s just as close to Hitler’s quote as Trump’s comment is.
Ah, my video of Ash from Evil Dead quoting Hitler (“Who’s laughing now?”) got sent to another dimension. (Well, it’s as much quoting Hitler as Trump did, isn’t it? There were some words that were the same.)
Headline: “The leaders of France, Germany and Italy say the Paris climate accord cannot be renegotiated as President Donald Trump has demanded.”
Riddle me this: If pulling out of the Paris accord is going to destroy the planet, why is no one willing to renegotiate with Trump to save the world? They don’t really believe their own propaganda, do they?
Nope. And Trump knows it.
Nor did Pres Trump demand the treaty be renegotiated – he merely threw that out there as the only way that we’d come back. As a sop.
Yup. The twisted EU aren’t going to go anywhere near that ‘deal’ ever again. They know full well that any kind of actual public scrutiny of it – sans the hysterical lunatics in clown costumes in Paris – would reveal them in stark relief for the lying charlatans they actually are.
Trump’s fortitude here in the face of massive adversity is something beautiful to behold. Furthermore his offer to renegotiate, thereby sending the EU cockroaches scuttling back under their rock at the double, was a master stroke.
Just like you have to read and understand the WHOLE Constitution before you can interpret any phrase contained therein, you have to understand DJT’s entire speech before you can quote a sentence.
Whether it fits the definition of a “sop” or not, Trump’s offer of a renegotiation can also be treated as sincere (e.g. as an argument to Ivanka). When China’s and India’s agreements can be said to be comparable to the US commitments, the US will come to the table to talk about CO2 reduction.
Gandhi echoed Hit1er during his own campaign of nationalist jingoism.
It’s not a direct quote, but it’s perilously close:
As a lecturer in journalism, I know that were a student of mine to try to pass such words off as original, they would be flying perilously close to a plagiarism citation.
I’m sure, Mr. Keyes, you would want to acknowledge your colleague above, JDN (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/06/05/claim-president-trump-quoted-hitler-when-withdrawing-from-the-paris-agreement/comment-page-1/#comment-2520266 ).
Great minds. 🙂
IOW: independent genius, I’m sure. (just didn’t want JDN to go overlooked with your more dramatic presentation of that quote).
D’oh!
I echoed JDN’s 11:41am comment during my own Gandhironic attempt.
It wasn’t a direct quote of JDN’s comment, but it was perilously close.
As a lecturer in journalism, I know that were a student of mine to try to pass such words off as original, they would be flying perilously close to a plagiarism citation.
Good for you, Mr. Keyes. And, please, ignore my 1:23pm comment (it has yet to appear, for the link to JDN’s comment has the “H” word in it — grrr) — in moderation at this time) about acknowledging JDN.
Independent genius — great minds! 🙂
Looks like Neo beat me to it!
JDN, Neo’s comment included a Word of Power, which resulted (from what I could tell) in his scoop being delayed, thus giving you de jure if not de facto priority.
He was an admirer of Hitler.
And Pachauri is an admirer of Gandhi, so by the transitive property, all inappropriate SMSs are perilously close to previous inappropriate SMSs and genocide is a form of plagiarism.
But then, who remembers the Armoricans?
He admired the German leader.
Gandhi’s statement carries weight, of course, only when referring to opponents civilized enough to not just murder you outright for your opposition; i.e., the British.
Guess what would have happened to a Gandhi publicly protesting the Moghuls. Or King Saud, or the late unlamented Saddam Hussein, or Bashar al-Assad. Or the Soviets. Or Dear Leader Kim Jong Un. Or either Castro brother, for that matter.
In all those cases, quoting the alt-Gandhi, “First, they kill you. . . .” end quote.
If Turkey, Persia, China, Germany or Russia ruled India, all those protesters lying down on train tracks would have been run over. All those offering to be beaten would have been caned to death, if not shot on the spot.
Might apply to the French Empire as well. India was lucky to be liberated from M@slim domination by Britain rather than any of the other empires then on offer.
U.S. politician, let’s call him Hank (just felt like it) going over next day’s speech with staff let’s call him Yank, (shrug):
H: Okay, Yank …… Yank hand me that phone. Me and “funny photos of hippopotamuses” do not go well together. (cleeeearrrr throat!) Okay. The future is ours a —
Y: — Uh – uh. A certain German Chancellor said that.
H: Ooo-kay. (ahem) Under the previous administration, you suffered mu —
Y: Sorry. No can do.
H: You endured?
Y: Nope. Precariously close to old you-know-who.
H: …….Televisions! Everyone should have one. Vote for me and I will put a TV into everyone’s living room! How about that?
Y: Well…. use kitchen instead of “living room” (too much like the Chancellor) and it’s acceptable. Kinda cheesy, like a cheap furniture ad, though….
H: I know it’s “kinda cheesy.” I DON’T EVEN WANT TO SAY IT! I just can’t think of anything that ol’ Lebensraum Lector didn’t say!!!!
Y: Hm……. Hey! I know! I’ll look up some old Obama speeches – then, when you say what he did, we’ll just fire right back at the ol’ state media, “Obama said that.”
H: (sigh) I don’t speak Austrian. I’ve been to all 57 states. My parents met for the first time {a couple years after I was born}. If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. Vote. For. Me.
Y: Yeah. (sigh)
The end of original thought…don’t think…just do. Or just parrot the person next to you. Today’s memo for democrats: Not to worry, it’s just a cliff. On the way down, blame someone else…lol
Is Abramsky intoxicated 24/7?
Anyway such a guys is called “un gros con” in France (I’m a froggy )…I’m sure he deserves to be called a “big shithead” in the USA.
IMO
The author is obviously correct in drawing his analogy. Look,there is even an ‘T’ and an ‘R’ in each of their names. How much more proof do you need?

Not only that, these are extreme letters of anthropogenic origin.
You can see the grey faced folk have the minions combing the speeches and literature of the fuherer, Stalin, Ivan the Terrible, Pol Pot…. looking for smear material. What is it with these unhappy sick people? They write stuff they know is totally beyond the fringe of reality. They are unconstrained – the end justifies the means – and this my friends is the foundation for fake news. Do they know that they have also impotently invoked Godwin’s Law? Probably don’t know it’s evoked when the debate is protracted and being lost.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law
Comrade, tell us how you are so familiar with the sayings of der Fuhrer? It is, as you must know, forbidden knowledge. Tell us the truth, and we will go easy on you, and we will spare your family.
+1
So I guess the procedure is now…
1. Take a public person’s complete set of speeches and statements.
2. Use a computer to compare it against Hitler’s complete set of speeches and statements.
3. If there are any blocks of text which are vaguely reminiscent of each other then that person is Hitler.
Good to know. We could also compare people to Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Julie Andrews … why the possibilities are endless.
The funny thing, or normal since we are talking about a political solution, is that the Paris accord will do exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to do. It will not lower the amount of carbon going into the atmosphere at all. The simple fact is that as the developed world cuts, China India and the developing world will expand. This is simple as they will gladly manufacture all the high CO2 intensive goods for us. This would allow us to live up to our commitments and they will peak their production sometime in the future when we have no manufacturing left. But what happens to CO2 as this is taking place. It goes up more than if the manufacturing was left in the developed world in numerous ways.
The first is that the US has stringent environmental laws and high efficient co-cycle natural gas fired power plants. China still has old coal plants with much lower efficiency so for a pound of goods produced more carbon will go into the environment.
The second is that the goods need to be shipped out to the world from China and the raw materials need to be shipped to China. This increases th carbon footprint of each pound of goods produced.
Third, the goods coming from China tend to be cheaper. Thus, we buy more of them and treat the products as disposable. Why keep and repair it when you can buy another for less money. Once again this increases the carbon footprint.
Fourth, the developing world will develop faster and this will increase the calls for a better lifestyle. Once again increasing the amount of carbon going into the atmosphere.
So, it is clear that the Paris accord will actually promote more carbon in the atmosphere by its very design. A better approach would be to assign the carbon to the end consuming nation of the products not to the country where the products are made.
Regardless of where you are on the climate debate the Paris accord is not a viable solution to a the so called problem of increased CO2 in the atmosphere..
The sun on the meadow is 240W/m2 warm
The stag in the Siberian forest runs free
But gather together to greet the exceptional storm
Tomorrow belongs to me
The branch of the linden is leafy and greener
The Rhine gives its gold to the rising sea level
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen
Tomorrow belongs to me
The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
The blossom embraces the bee
But soon, says a whisper
“Arise, a 2 degree rise, tomorrow belongs
To me!
Quoted Hitler (sort of)?
I’d say closer to this.
Trump on quitting Paris
PS “So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.”
The Paris Accord is not and never was a treaty. The US is not “engaged”.
Send Obama the bill.
(I hear Bloomburg is willing to chip in. Maybe Soros will too?)
If you look hard enough at the world’s writings, I am sure you will find that Shakespeare anticipated the speeches of Der Fuhrer, in translation.
However, Trump did not speak German when he pulled out of the Paris accord, and there is so much leeway in translation, that it is grabbing at the ridiculous to make any such sleazy and questionable comparison.
What’s the world’s record for a collective temper tantrum?
It will be perilously close to either 4 or 8 years…..
For the Brits: 1776 to present. Sorry Brits…couldn’t resist.
That’s a good question.
I note that some Democrats are starting to say other Democrats are focusing too much on the Russians. So it seems to take about a year of no evidence of wrongdoing to get the first Democrats nervous.
Democrats in Calfornia are balking at Governor Brown’s propsed carbon tax. They are afraid they are going to alienate their voters, since they just raised gasoline taxes in California. So Democrats can balk, if they think it will harm them politically.
Channelling Godwin
As a ‘discussion’ grows longer, the probability of the left making a comparison involving Hitler approaches 1 Sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or his deeds.
Like Dr Mills and his hypothesis that global warming propelled Hitler into power.
The Ultimate Godwin
Perilously close ? no, Bill Clinton and an intern got Perilously Close … this is off by a mile …

Heh.
As in: “Perilously close — NOT!”

Has Trump ever owned a dog or married a European woman?
That would clinch it.
Dog lover. Check.

Two European wives. Check. Check.
Unlike H!tler, however, Trump has two German grandparents.
We don’t know the identity of the big AH’s grandfather on the Schicklgruber side. He’s a man of mystery. Austrian, probably.
Many have speculated about possible Czech, Jewish and African ancestry, but nobody supposes that the Austrian artist/bum had any German ancestry, as in subject of the Second Reich or any of its predecessor states.
Interestingly enough, Trump’s granddad was 20 years older than Adolf the Austrian artist/bum.
Friedrich Drumpf was born in Kallstadt, Germany in 1869, and came to America at the age of sixteen with empty pockets. He moved to Seattle, WA, and briefly to Alaska, to work in real estate (some say his main business in the AK gold fields was a brothel).
By the time he died in Queens, NY at the age of 49, during the Spanish flu epidemic, Fred Sr. had built up a fortune worth $31,642.54, or around $542,000 in today’s money. He left this small fortune to his German immigrant wife Elizabeth, who used it to go into business with her eldest son Fred Jr, who was just fifteen at the time. The mother-son pair created the Trump empire, headed by Fred Jr’s son, Donald (named by his Scottish immigrant mom), until DJT became president of the USA.

Great! We got the “old foggie” vote. 🙂
Seriously, all that proves is that those of us who have been around for a while (I’m 75) have built up an Anti-BS shield.
We’ve experienced the ups and downs of temperature by decade, experienced the floods, droughts and hurricanes over our lifetimes. We have also experienced REAL catastrophes, the Korean and Vietnamese wars, and NEAR catastrophes (the Cuban missile crisis). We’ve seen the silliness of the previous scares: the coming Ice Age, the Nuclear Winter, overpopulation, peak oil; as well as the scams the left have not yet given up on: the Ozone hole, Acid rain, DDT etc.
Anyone who either listened to or read Trump’s speech and then goes on an “anti-science” rant is not worthy of continued dialogue. (Nor persuadable.)
I know some see this action as a ringing endorsement of his election to president – but……..
Trump is not a politician. He is a businessman who started with a golden spoon and ended up with two or three. He got to be president through bullying, lying and espousing policies that would make Attila the Hun seem like a moderate. Actually it would be wrong to characterise his election by the word “policy” – his key attribute was to adapt policy on the hoof depending on the audience.
It was as well that his opponent was at least equally deficient – albeit for different reasons.
He made his choice on Paris (I suspect) not from an overwhelmingly thorough intellectual study of the evidence (he hasn’t got the brain) but simply from political expediency:
– he promised it, so he is doing what he said (no action yet on walls and muslims though)
– he wants to show he acts on “USA first – I can buy this as a rationale
– all must pay their share. USA will not finance the rest of the world – Paris, NATO, UN…. I can buy this too
The outcome from his display of international non-cooperation is predictable – someone had to do it. But by withdrawing the US from elements of international cooperation he may ultimately diminish the standing of the US.
Irrespective of the climate science there are entirely legitimate arguments to suggest that reducing CO2 is neither the most urgent world class issue, nor the best way to spend the money anyway (mitigation) .
Hitler once said ‘Good morning’ to someone. Woe betide anyone who quotes Hitler!
Oh how the left loves to associate Hitler with anyone they disagree with. More lazy “journalism”.
It’s all slop for the trough and these days there’s more of it than ever.
Look! They both use hand gestures!

Didn’t the Nazi’s try that with the Jews in the late 1930’s
Seems to me that, like the Nazi’s, AGWers want to persecute those that don’t share their beliefs

Shameful Misdirection of Priorities: 75% of Black California Boys don’t meet State Reading Standards While California Focuses on Climate Change
https://co2islife.wordpress.com/2017/06/04/shameful-misdirection-of-priorities-75-of-black-california-boys-dont-meet-state-reading-standards-and-california-worries-about-climate-change/
That is because they don’t study. Personal responsibility. Not much else.
Also, the pubic education system in California has collapsed.
They also had a useless President for 8 years who led them [and everyone else] up a garden path for nothing. That trek up the garden path was very expensive.
I met a guy who met Mr. H. I know a few words of German. I have read extensively about this era of history including Mr. H. I have quoted Mr. H a number of times to make a point, back in the day when I thought making a point was something to do. (Now I don’t care what people think.) So, am I a Nazi?
Bonus points: Where and when was this phrase uttered by Mr. H?
Es tut mir viel leid, aber es geht nicht mehr.
(Translation: I am very sorry, but that won’t be enough anymore.
Next the deranged media will be claiming that Hitler recycled Trump.
Exactly, … the scientific explanation is that Adolph traveled forward in time to the era of Trump, did a character study, followed his style, went back in time to his homeland and proceeded to apply Trump’s style to his dictatorship. … It makes perfect sense.
Next time, he should directly quote the Koran. That would leave them with quite a conundrum.
Nonsense – it is nowhere close to plagiarism – the only “common denominator word” is laugh, isn’t it?
When one is educated and speaks and writes a great deal, sooner or later they are going to say or write something that is similar to what someone else has said. I would bet you can get odds on this at Vegas.
No matter what President Trump says the press will put a negative spin on it:
Seven dead, 48 wounded more cops on the street, and the populace is told
“There’s no reason to be alarmed” Oh wow! And the media beats up President
Trump because he has the same reaction I do.
Evil tries … and fails, again.
I think there is a parallel between the election of Trump and HItler. Trump was elected because people are desperate for anything but the status quo. Hitler came to power in a similar way. Germany was downtrodden after WW1. In both cases a charismatic leader promising “change” was elected. You could say that Obama’s election was similar too. Remember “hope and change”? Unfortunately they didn’t get hope and change, they got more of the same.
“Unfortunately they didn’t get hope and change, they got more of the same.”
That’s true. Let’s hope it is different with Trump. Just think what Trump could accomplish for us if he had a cooperative Republican congress. The Republican Congress looks like the weak link in this situation. Are they incapable of coming together? Do we need to replace some of them with others more attuned to the needs and wants of the People? On that last question, there is no doubt some Repubicans need to be replaced with more sensible people.
“Seems like nice weather today!”
Oh, so now you’re just going around quoting Hitler now?
Maybe they want to ban the word ‘laughing’. Progressives hate it when we’re happy like they hate freedom.Living in constant fear for them is the way to go. Progressives need crisis to gain power. They will NEVER solve it because it would make them useless. Who needs a cancer?
But beware! They know who we are and where we live. 10:10 No Pressure.
Remember how progressives always attack the rich to gain the vote of the poor. Who were most of the wealthy people in a very poor Germany.
Of course they want to be rich and wealthy too.

However, I suspect Nigel was well aware of the words quoted by Adolph, particularly for this audience. Geoff.
“They” fought DJT – and he won. No wonder, they are not laughing any more. DJT will have the last and best laugh in this droll story.
To compare Trump with Hitler because of that common phrase is completely ridiculous. Many people use versions of that phrase. These morons like to claim that climate change causes *everything*. One thing is completely provable: climate change drives many people mad.
