U.S. astronaut Ryan Kelly apologizes for praising Winston Churchill on Twitter

This is the problem with heavily government intervened industries, in this case education. We currently should be seeing a massive downsizing in the education infrastructure. All these fucking liberal arts colleges are needed as much as is a newspaper stand on every corner but we’re not getting it because of politics.

The Department of Education should be discontinued and dissolved, and all government subsidies to "black" colleges rescinded. They wouldn't last on donations like ivy league colleges do, because blacks have no money and the ones who do, don't give a fuck about other black people.

Yes, that's where hard work and effort comes in.

Without Churchill, the Axis powers would have won in Europe.

Germany would have invaded Britain and consolidated control of Europe while Italy would have control of North Africa.

Watched the film 'It Happened Here' the other night and it shows a hypothetical situation of England being invaded after Dunkirk. The English would have probably collaborated, despite some resistance.

Europe would have been Fascist and North Africa under European control and the European Empires would not have been abandoned.

I highly doubt that. The Russians were steam rolling their way towards the Germans after taking a beating from the surprise attack in the beginning. The Russians got their military industry going and completely out numbered the Germans with both soldiers and guns/tanks. Hitler made the same mistake Napoleon did centuries ago; sending troops into the huge Russian planes with only summer clothing hoping the whole of Russia would be taken in just a few months. Thousands of soldiers froze to death in the winter and tanks malfunctioned in the freezing cold. If anything Europe would be divided by Russia and the rest of Europe if the US didn't enter the European war and only took on Japan.

Agreed.

The Soviets crushed the Nazi war machine.

If Britain was successfully invaded in 1940-41, then there would have been no opposition in North Africa and no navy to oppose the Axis powers especially in the Mediterranean.

With a collaborator regime, the armed forces of Britain and their resources would have also been absorbed into the Axis war effort.

I also believe the US would have been more hesitant to launch an invasion of Europe and this would have freed up the western front, North Africa and Italy.

Without the carpet bombing, Italy would also not have surrendered and without British involvement in North Africa they would control the entire region.

No doubt the scenarios are many of what could have happened. I think the Brits would still have won the Battle of Britain without Churchill as this was in the beginning of the war. Without superiority in the air over England the Germans would not have enough support and man power to invade Britain as they were bleeding men in Russia. I just think the so called "leaders" are given too much credit. Maybe their would have been a truce and the Axis would have held on to southern and parts of middle Europe with Northern Africa and the Europeans and Russians shared west and northern Europe.

This is likely his best form. You can even see the striations in his shoulders.

If vince can get back to this shape - awesome on him.  We should all support each other here.

Another liberal 'hero' bites the dust.

I wish that guy who shot up that crowd his wife was talking to had shot him instead of her. Liberals are a plague and I won't feel safe in my own country until every last one is hanging from a tree full of bullet holes.
