My grandfather was a B-17 mechanic. He hauled bodies out of planes that came back shot up over Germany. Probably why he drank so much. My best friend’s grandmother once showed me the shrapnel scar from an American bomb that exploded over her German village. She was 6.

The postwar consensus was largely accurate. The only real aspect needing extensive revision being the role of Stalin and the USSR, given many of the relevant documents were locked away until after the fall of the USSR.

The post-cold war consensus is where it got cartoony.

They were all bad really. Except Mussolini, the only one confirmed to have made it to heaven.

Good meme fodder though

The wedding video “first look” shot of the groom seeing the bride for the first time and bursting into tears needs to be shut down. I talked to a guy whose bride had the marriage annulled because he didn’t start bawling when she walked out and her friends and family kept asking her about it like it was some deep dark scandal

Going to weddings is even more annoying these days because you see the chubby aunts salivating in anticipation for the groom being reduced to a whimpering puddle of tears.

If there’s a reaction it should be spontaneous. But now the grooms have to take acting lessons because it’ll be a huge deal if they don’t treat the sight of the bride as if it’s the ending scene of Old Yeller.

I’m not voting for me, I’m voting for him

There’s a sculpture of Donald Trump in this cathedral in Mexico

The debate moderators really claimed infanticide doesn’t exist while sitting in the same city where Kermit Gosnell stabbed infants to death with scissors. PA Dept of Health ignored the reports. It was finally the DEA who busted him. The agents had severe PTSD from what they saw.

Trump is leading because the economy sucks and the country is being invaded by hordes of savages who are stealing and eating people’s dogs and cats. He effectively underscored both of those problems last night, Kamala just laughed. No she did not “win” the debate.

We are going to banish the Vindmans to the crystals in the deepest darkest mine in Appalachia

The Feds shouldn’t be allowed to take the suspect into custody or run this investigation. Florida law enforcement should be running this. Gov. DeSantis needs to step up.

This was not a “shooting near a golf course” as NYPost claimed.

This was Trump surviving yet another assassination attempt, as reported by CNN and official sources.

Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again

Art is to be created, not appreciated

Zelenskyy campaigning for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania less than two weeks after a pro-Ukraine activist tried to murder President Trump is just 😮‍💨

Virginia early voting so far showing a lot of first-time and infrequent voters are voting early in the most conservative counties in the Commonwealth. Keep this up and we are looking not only at Trump carrying Virginia, but also Tim Kaine losing his senate seat.

Kamala has lost her nerve, her edge. She is on the defensive. Flailing. She needed to start October with a 10 point lead because no one closes a deal like Donald Trump. Her campaign swings and media appearances aren’t boosting her support. She’s not fun. The joy is gone.

Listening to women talk about movies is surreal. The things they notice and focus on — and the things they don’t — are totally different from how I see a picture.

Trump is a much better podcast guest than Kamala
