If Trump were President during World War II, we would all be speaking German (or Japanese) now.

And hopefully out of the media. 

The best cusswords are to be found in Germany. Most of them have direct counterparts in English. 

And if Kaiser Wilhelm II had better generals, we might have avoided this whole mess altogether. 

Because they are useful and inexpensive. And they do not look like trucks.

I spent 22 years in some association with the US Army, but still can’t tie a goddamned tie worth a shit. I have a dozen ties in my closet that are already tied in case I need one because if I had to tie one the day of the occasion requiring one, it would take half a hour...on a good day.

Amy more 5han you can hate James Earl Jones for playing Darth Vader. 

Der kleiner wurstle.

See, that’s the problem. Either Canada has taken over the Niagara region of New York State, or Lake Ontario doesn’t exist in the Handmaid’s Tale universe. It’s a pretty big lake. It would take something big, like a nuke, to drain it.
