How many tug boats did they have to bring with the flotilla this time?

Rule of Acquisition #34: War is good for business
hides the inner pain in Boston
I mean… lots of people would refuse to live in Arkansas even if you straight up gave them a house.
It’s always a good day to punch a Nazi
While I’m cautiously optimistic for France in their upcoming elections this weekends due to the apparent pragmatism of the centrist parties, I admit that it’s embarrassing and infuriating to watch our one non-fascist party here in the states actively shit the bed on actually fucking doing something to stop the fascists.
Presidents can have a little coup, as a treat

Doesn’t stop the powers that be from specifically targeting anti fascists
The most appropriate comparison is not the USSR.
The most appropriate comparison is Germany in 1932, when the Nazi Party finally gained control of the German parlaiment, culminating in Hitler’s appointment as Reichchancellor on 30 January the following year.
