"It is a pathetic, dog-like face, the face of a man suffering under intolerable wrongs. In a rather more manly way it reproduces the expression of innumerable pictures of Christ crucified, and there is little doubt that that is how Hitler sees himself. The initial, personal cause of his grievance against the universe can only be guessed at; but at any rate the grievance is here. He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock, the self-sacrificing hero who fights single-handed against impossible odds. If he were killing a mouse he would know how to make it seem like a dragon. "

It basically is. Wonkette is a satire site just like The Onion. OP (likely accidentally) broke Rule 2.

Not exactly. Wonkette is more like Stephen Colbert, using factual news as the basis for mockery and derision aimed at the right. This article, for example, accurately quotes Trump on the horrifying “poisoning the blood” rhetoric, and then rips into him for it.

Honestly, Trump and his base are straight up traitors and should all be deported.

Hey they’re free! What a bargain! You can use them however you like! Flower arranging. Ditch digging. You could stack them like cord wood and make cool fort. You could tell all sorts of absolute nonsense and they’ll believe it like the most niaive little children.

If they really were that convenient, you wouldn’t give them away for free. Something is fishy here.

We rather use Night of Broken Glass or November pogroms, since crystal night sounds euphemistic.

Sorry for the thought police moment
