He's like a Chatty Cathy doll - pull a string and get one of a very limited repertoire of canned phrases.

On edit: I am not implying that your comment was irrelevant.

Contemporary Americans seem to love using this schtick to beat on western Europeans. WWII ended 81 years ago and none of these fuckers had anything to do with it. Yes, the U.S. did contribute greatly to the fall of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. I am even more proud of what we attempted to do after the war, to create a more liberal world order to prevent that shit from happening again.

Nit figuratively but in early 1953 thr GOP brought in around 300,000 Germans to rebuild their party. I had a teacher who git to be a Senate Page at 16 in 1953. Interesting due to his being continential but an absolute selfish spoiled butt-hole of a man.

Prescot Bush got ~!750,000 the same time for protecting a Nazi supporter's hoard through the impoundment stage. The evil who supported Hitler have never stopped their attempts to take over.
