AKCHOOOALLLY they had LSDs (Landing Ship Dock) in WWII. Though I believe they were used more extensively in the Pacific theater.

Heh.  I had a slightly different "LSD" in mind.

One of the greatest speech in commemoration of an event. Maybe second to Lincoln's Gettysburg.

Landing Ship Tank - a few survive

One operational one (but still a museum)

Another museum

And one was converted to a ferry and is being used on the New Haven CT - Long Island ferry. (scroll down to Cape Henlopen)

Biden called Churchill and demanded an immediate cease-fire and offered to rebuild Germany.

Antifa, of course, or the modern-day moral equivalent of the man who landed at the Normandy beaches.

The finest minds in the progressive movement have assured us of this.

Heh.  He also no doubt called for us to work together with “moderate Nazis“.

I mean, I’m not saying we should work with the armed wing (Waffen) of the SS; rather, with the moderate, political wing! You know, people like that Mr. Eichmann, who seems like a reasonable fellow.

Of course, the Squad says none of this would have happened if it weren't for the Jews, so some of the Nazi policies might be useful here. After all, they must have mistreated the Germans a lot for the Nazis to want to exterminate them.

You're LGBT? No One Cares Except the Left

Entertaining. A couple of fun paragraphs:

I remember a time when being an openly gay comedian was shocking and gutsy, but those days disappeared with Bill Clinton. Now, no one cares, and that’s the way it should be. It’s what the LGBT crew has always wanted. Except the Left. Libs are the people that are hyper-fixated on gender, race, sexual orientation, you name it. Everything they don’t want the rest of us to be fixated on.

My suggestion to my LGBT comedian compadres who need to be a victim: do a tour of Muslim countries. Let me know how that Pride pashima goes over in the Leba-knees Slappers Lounge. Hit the Mo-Ha-Ha-Hamed Club and tell that joke about how only stupid people don’t believe women can have a penis. Do that rib-tickler bit about your gender fluid partner at the Jihadi Har-Har Bar. Make sure to drop by and do a guest set at Saddam’s Comedy and Rape Room. When you come back you’ll be grateful to see an audience of white, rural people laughing for you and not caring about your gender. And don’t blow the light.
