On the day of German ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช elections letโ€™s remember: Hitlerโ€™s โ€˜science regimeโ€™ , led by ideologues such as Philipp Lenard and Johannes Stark, actively rejected modern theoretical physics, especially Einsteinโ€™s theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, dismissing it as โ€œJewish Physics.โ€ ๐Ÿงต

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
