I clearly stated that I don’t remember where the other thread is. OTOH there’s no greater pollution to this thread than including a serial domestic abuser, the originator of the “Hitler had some good ideas” line, and someone those closest to him consider a piece of dirt, never once showing any remorse or seeking forgiveness.

This discussion has been had many times about other individuals posted in this thread. You have your opinions and that is fine, but this is not the thread for them.

Can we move these posts somewhere? @Dan @jj1000 or @AsherO

Just found this thread but would not put it in there either. He falls in the “undisputed scumbag” category that falls between mourning and celebrating his death.

Then post there or start a new thread if that is the way you feel.

Wow, not polluting threads, whatever that means, it's such a sacred mission it warrants waking up all mods at once.

I'm sure there is one and of most importance, something about making this world a better place and making a difference in peoples lives. We can all do this together!

Ok I'm tired it seems.. GN!

the originator of the “Hitler had some good ideas” line,

Gossip like this is beneath DDF IMO

Go to TMZ comments for this.

It is from a propaganda news source that he denied and there is no evidence he made the statement.
You want to attack him for abuse against women that is fair game. This other claim isn't worth the paper it is written on.

His own daughter confirmed him likely to have said it, and you didn’t offer Trump this kind of benefit of doubt when you believed something he denied which a journalist claimed he said about soldiers. Is it possible you have bias blinders on?

I give less credibility to family members. They always have a bias one way or the other.
You want me to use Mary Trump as my source for everything against Trump? That would be laughable. 
Trump has a history of remarks to look at. I have not seen that with BH.

Now BH (isn't that strange) can be a racist and antisemite. I give zero credibility to a Russian report which he denied.

FTFY
The quote was from an independent English-only Russian newspaper and it is considered credible by independent sources. What makes it very credible is Hull's response that he was taken out of context because the quote didn't accurately capture his tone of voice and facial expressions. As if somehow the quote would sound better if we were there.

And anything else you see written about him by his family and others that knew him is very negative - constantly drunk, racist, and belligerent.

For all the hills to die on, this is a complete head scratcher.

If you what to claim he is the source for some antisemitic statement. You are going to need more than some propaganda Russian news media.

Otherwise:

Please, could you STOP using this thread for anything except a REPORT of a death?!

I hold my breath every time I see a new notification in this thread. It really should not be used for any discussions.
