That's what she gets for not vetting her Kennedy better.

I'm wondering if the jail time and prison time these people are getting for 1/6 is doing little more than burnishing their cred with the red hats as they plan to take it all up another notch. There's not a half-bad chance they walk out heroes to welcoming arms.

[pfife]

Yep they'll make 'em heroes and they'll do it mainly because it will be disgusting and piss off libs

I wonder when the term "fifth column" is going to become a common descriptor of these people, because that's how they look to me.

Russia or China couldn't have planned all this any better.

Starting to look like the killer was inside the house the whole time.

Well JFK Jr is coming back so she can pick that one. Is the one who raped the girl in Florida still alive?

There are a lot of analogies to the English royal family that you can make to the generation of idiot Kennedys who were born to famous parents.

Yep. I am watching the crown on Netflix.  Last night it was the first episode of season 4 when Lord Mountbattten was a victim of the IRA.  I looked him up and saw he had similar accusations that Andrew faces with the addition of young boys too.  The kennedys were as close to royalty as we have had in our history.

These “tip lines” always go well…

I'm going to complain about the local schools teaching Arabic numerals in grade school.

He's a completely forgotten figure now, but here in Hamilton those who were old enough to remember him always viewed Mountbatten with contempt, an incompetent upper class twit.  That's because of the Dieppe raid which was a complete fiasco and of the 900 Canadians who were killed about 170 were from the local Hamilton regiment.

I really like it. Started a few months ago.  I thought my wife and I could watch together but it’s a bit heavy for her. She thought it would be a little more tabloidish.   The production quality is top notch. 
 

I was thrown off after season 2 when they replaced the actors.  It made their final scene together much more memorable.  
 

I am a fan of Philip.

what a terrible prospect. 

Then again it could speed the Commonwealth along the path to the future and the cashless society.

The Dieppe raid was prior to Stalingrad, the Torch landings, the large-scale arrival us US strategic bombers to the UK, and the battle of Guadalcanal.  I'm consider myself a very well-read person about WWII and didn't internalize any of that until I started watching the Youtube series World War II week by week.   1942 was the final year of muddling through for the Commonwealth.  

Part of the muddling through were Churchill's cigar stabs at the maps where he would ask for this or that "master stroke" which were possibly strategically smart but Commonwealth forces lacked the capabilities to actually make them work.  Dieppe did provide a lot of positive lessons.  One being that you needed port facilities and two that landing at a major port was likely too difficult.   Hence development of the mulberry harbors.  Another lesson was that the allies needed air superiority for the landings.   

Mountbatten was an upper class twit as portrayed in the infamous Monty Python sketches but not much could have helped Dieppe...in August 1942...when Germany still had an unbeaten army.
