“Destroying it how, exactly? Did Hitler turn mad scientist in your timeline?”Īgent 3203.4 took another long stare at his new prisoner. What the heck did Hitler do in yours that’s worth taking your one shot at time travel to assassinate him of all people?”Īgent 3203.4 took a good look at where Adolf Hitler was pridefully revealing the plan to make a “Volkswagen” available to all citizens, then took another good look at the errant time-traveler. To your parable Scott, as an observer from far away, the present polarising era in America has been reassuring in that it has become clear that somewhat less than half of americans equate the notion of justice with their own level of material comfort, that hadn’t always been obvious 🙂Ĭomment #3 September 21st, 2020 at 3:33 am At this point Trump probably deserves about six consecutive Nobel peace prizes, which would take him into his 2nd term (counting the current one as the 0th, as the Dems and all their friends have robbed him of much of this term).Ĭomment #2 September 21st, 2020 at 2:24 am It certainly seems wiser than giving the Iranian regime mountains of cash to spend on terrorism, while not stopping their nuclear ambitions.
