If you look at the current state of America I think you'll find that awful people don't need to be smart to succeed.

Six Nazi spies were executed in D.C. White supremacists gave them a memorial — on federal land.

Honestly liked the one idea of breaking it apart with sledgehammers but I guess the left was tolerant for once.

Too bad about George John Dasch though. At least history shows the truth at least? Just another point for J. Edgar Hoover being a huge piece of poo poo.

“The policy of the United States should be regime change in Iran,” said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who speaks regularly with White House officials about foreign policy. “I don’t see how anyone can say America can be safe as long as you have in power a theocratic despotism,” he added.

IIRC most, if not all of the spies Germany sent over with that batch weren't exactly hardcore Nazis, and more than one only signed up so that they could get back to the US and away from the war.

Unfortunately, as you mentioned, Hoover was a piece of poo poo, and railroaded all of them so that he could get credit for taking out a German spy ring.

Tom Cotton is the one that wrote the letter to the leaders of Iran urging them to not work with Obama that 47 republican senators signed onto.

The moderates hold a lot of power in Iran right now. Kind of like they did in 2001, before some idiot labled them as part of the Axis of Evil, embarrassed them, and ushered in more than a decade of rule by hardliners. The ayatollah can't live too much longer, so it would be nice if the moderates could hold control of the council of experts long enough to get someone more liberal into the job. Of course Donnie will probably gently caress this up.

This is a semi-regular thing in the third world and if that village only lost 150 people it means they weren't trying that hard.


Tapping live pipelines is practically a national sport in Nigeria, they're losing over 15% of their annual production to theft.

Yeah, from the guy whose running joke was an anger translator that "mean" phrase was about as close as he'll ever get to telling someone to publicly go gently caress themself.

Donnie's just too drat dumb to understand it and his ego is the only part of his personality that's still kicking through the dementia.
