this entire administration is irredeemable scum.

Article is a good read about Miller.

The choice of USS Doris Miller marked the first time an aircraft carrier would honor an enlisted sailor, and the first aircraft carrier to be named for an African American. Asked about his decision to name the carrier after Miller, Modly told CNN that it was recommended to him by a group of retired Black admirals, and that he believes “one of our most powerful warships should bear the name of a sailor like Miller to bring greater attention to what makes our Navy so unique — and great.”

    Stalin got his start in the bolshevik party as a fundraiser. He robbed banks. Not with a stick up, not with safe cracking. He would roll up with a team, throw some grenades into the building, run in as the dust settled, grab the cash, then throw grenades around dthr Street the cover the getaway.

    Stalin was a crazy dumbass willing to kill dozens of innocents for money.

    Hitler was an Incel. His college roommate told the world about how he obsessed over a young woman for months, said they were fated to be together, but never got the courage to speak to her.

    He carried a horsehip everywhere and hit people that passed him off.

    He made people call him “Herr wulf” (Mr wolf) as a badass nickname. This is why his bunker in Berlin was called the wolf’s lair.

    They were absolutely fucking stupid.

      Ha ha ha, I will have to check it out thanks.

      Still though, our guy is dumber, but maybe just because he’s a decrepit old dotard.

      Side note as to the horsewhipping on the street, reminds me of Ivan the Terrible, Russia’s old Tsar. He used to go on the streets in plainclothes and cut peoples’ beards off just for the lulz. Forget what year he was.

        The young woman Hitler stallked didn’t know he existed. She found out about the crush decades later. He thought she was secretly communicating her love for him via qanon esqe codes like the color of her scarf or where she stopped to eat a pastry.

        He was a complete incel buffoon, (obviously not later with Eva Braun, but as a young man) and part of reason he was declared chancellor was they thought he couldn’t do much harm.
