    Debated whether to tell this story but...

    One of my great uncles brought back a Wehrmacht helmet from the war. The house they lived in didn't have indoor plumbing until the 50s or something, so they used to use it as a chamber pot and piss in it. 1 of their brothers didn't come back and they hated the Germans.

    Fast forward to the 80s, my great aunt (sister of the guy who brought the helmet back) used to have these sweet 4th of July picnics, and we kids were digging around in the attic and found the helmet. So we were running around playing war outside with this helmet until my grandmother and aunt started laughing "they used to pee in that, they used to pee in that"

    We brought two buckets and I thought they disposed of the first and I was wearing the 2nd unused bucket. Unfortunately I was mistaken

    One commenter said a few days ago (I can't find it right off) that the right's playbook now is to spin all obvious corruption scandals into simple things like "so Republicans' can't have friends now?" and that was dead on.

    *of course nothing will happen because the Democratic Party is mostly run by toothless losers who are themselves too rich to care as the Republic burns to the ground on their watch.

    In a just world every decision in which he cast a deciding vote would be revisited. I know it's not really feasible and will never happen, but everything this fucked ever wrote should be heavily scrutinized.

    Ah, well, nevertheless.
