Ain't this nice we have the reincarnation of there Vichey government and the death triangle but in a different format, just like the Vichey Government in 1941-1944.
Lets march some of these ner do wells down to the Normandy coast and ask them if they remember at what price it took to release them from death squads murdering innocents based on culture and religion
