Love the new icon!
Please sell some patches, love some for my jacket
We need Magic School Tank merch.
Fun Fact: One of the guys who dug up his grave and stole the body is also from the village my family is from, Domenico Leccisi. Who is listed as one of the 'notable' people on Wikipedia right next to Gaetano Salvemini; who is a well know anti-fascist politician and writer.
The reason I ride my bike on the sidewalk is because there's always a car in the bike lane and if I try to go around them I will immediately die.
To be fair, the shitty smg was French. The Beretta smgs are primo.
Well Francis, I know a guy in Jefferson City who invoked castle law with a katana.
Are there any news articles about this I need to know more
Tom should've never explained the concept of a good cave to Joe
Having Joe here talking about the death of Mussolini and having Joe as co host on "Behind the Bastards" talking about Beria. A kind of best of both worlds. Wonder if they had a note pinned on that SS guy, they dropped to the Allies: "From a concerned citizen, please handle with care"
Boomer opinion: if you’re above 6”2, you should get an exit row seat for free.
If you liked Dongo, you'd be delighted to hear about Asso, which is another Italian town 30 km to the north
Hey, there's nothing wrong with Rhode Island! Other than the governor. Or the Washington Bridge. Or the mayor of Providence (Fuck you Smiley!) Or the roads... Despite all of that, I love this place.
I have a similar bare wall problem, but decided that if i won't hang anything on the wall i might as well wallpaper over the problem on the barest wall with a 4m wide picture of a nice czech castle
The indignity of Mussolini having to report to the recipient of the The First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence is hysterical
After hearing about how vicious the crowds in Milan were I'm actually kind of disappointed they didn't get Mussolini there alive.
As long as Benito wasn’t into water sports.
The most cursed thing is that moussilinis grave now looks like a literal worshipping shrine, it is literally a google maps location, with a lot of facist reviews.
Ah yes, Count Pedro of Dongo Town. Veteran of many battles with, among other things, the clap.
Waitz What is the 1943 version of playing Steam?
Finally a story with a happy ending
Is there an Italian General who has a ridiculous number of medals that Jason Isaacs can play should Mussolini's death ever be turned into a dark comedy?
I need this because Jason Isaacs as Zhukov was the perfect balance of hilariously absurd, pompous swagger and hitting me squarely in all of my daddy issues.
The Blackshirt Parade
Giggling and kicking my feet (I’m Sicilian-American and my great uncles were almost tortured to death by the black shirts)
Eh, kind of like other fascists in Europe their favorite place to go was into the ruling coalition of the postwar government.
Post-Franco Spain feeling v attacked here
I know I've commented some version of this before, but y'all seriously need to do a Monte Cassino series. My grandpa fought as a tank commander in the 4th battle with the French 8e Chasseurs D'afrique. His group even got a tiger kill during the drive to Rome.
I need some positive(I guess that's a way of putting it) French representation! My grandpa(WW2) and my granduncle(WW2/Korea) were no surrender monkeys, goddamnit!!!
Finally something uplifting
Oh shit a Zoo Crew episode!
"Executed by a communist accountant" is possibly the funniest killfeed message ever
Oh hells ya. I've been fantasizing about this happening again to so many different people.
The cover art for mussolinis memoir is just him dressed up as a sad pagliacci
Made a comment on Mussolini on Twitter and now this comes out. Proof that Joe has Professor X like psychic powers
As a HOI4 fan... no offense taken, we know lol
Ah yes, zoo crew non sharpes episode. Great times.
A girl I graduated high school with got to use a Mussolini quote for her senior quote. Thanks Oklahoma!
I'm going to turn my phone upside down when I listen to this one
Hahahaha
