"The things I do for the worldwide caliphate!"
Arnold Schwarzenegger's father is non allegedy a Nazi, he was a military policeman on the eastern front of WW2. Which really gets me wondering what the fuck his actual job was, like did he arrest other Nazis for not doing enough war crimes? That being said, Arnold Schwarzenegger has talked openly about how much of an abusive asshole his dad was, and how you shouldn't be a Nazi, and how Nazis, Confederates, and Aparteid South Africans were all losers. He also mentioned how fucked up his dad was after the war in a plea to Russian soldiers in Ukraine to surrender. Not that there aren't a bunch of problems with the guy also but I guess its about as good as it gets for former Republican politicians in 2023.
Not just a Nazi, an original believer. He applied to join the SA all the way back in 1924.
okay all that chat and you don’t tell us what brand you smoke? it better be marlboro red
I'll give the Italians this - I appreciate the brutal honesty of their long-lived diplomatic strategy of blatantly doing whatever is in their best interest at the time, forsaking any sense of ideology or prior alliances for pure expediency. That's not a joke, they read The Prince and were like "let's do this all the time". They're still doing it. At least it's honest.
Hell yeah.
I flew WOW Air in what ended up being their final 2 weeks of being a functional airline
I’m reading a book about Italian priests in the 1600s and holy shit these are some messy bitches.
What's the book?
Kudos to Tom for beating the cigarette tax game, but for the love god you need to cut down smoking! If all that's for you then you probably smell like an ashtray (speaking from childhood experience). I try not to be judgmental but I literally work in a field that charges people with lung cancer an extra $150k per year of life (and they live an extra ~1.5 years on average anyway).
This episode finally killed Burlusconi
What if an Irishman was Rastaferian?
I so desperately want a Battle of Adwa sopranos meme
Joe's sigh before "Francisco Crispi" didn't get me as much as Tom's raucous laughter did. That was a full belly laugh from me lol
I hope one of his descendants married an extra.
Yes the return of Homies
Podcast rips into Berlusconi and releases it on Patreon the same day he dies. Lesson learned: Joe Kassabian has Thanos-like powers and should be worshipped like a demigod.
Cause of death: sick burns.. no not that kind of burns, the other kind.
How has the genocide podcast become my comfort podcast.
Honestly though, it’s too gruesome to feel this cozy
Sunday gravy
