[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Putting them on display in the dining room is weeeeeird. Like Madison Cawthorn visiting the Eagle’s Nest as one of his bucket list items weird[/quote]

Madison Cawthorn may be weird--but wanting to visit the Eagle's Nest is not weird.  It is absolutely not a shrine to Hitler as you seem to think.

It has a phenomenal view and is an engineering feat.  It is not a Hitler museum.  After WWII until after the wall fell, Berchtesgaden had US hotels in the area for American soldiers.  Hotels that were won from Hitler.  Kind of satisfying to think that he lost so badly that his enemies were living in his holiday spaces.

Look at the context of Cawthorn’s politics (and Crow’s) and tell me that. That’s what you’re missing.[/quote]

So, if two politicians both like gin over bourban, that makes them the same?

Have you any idea how many Americans have visited the Eagle's Nest?  I don't think you know much about it.[/quote]
Holy moly. That you liken the politics of hate that Cawthorn, Crow and Thomas have in common to sharing a love of particular booze does not recommend your argument to be taken seriously. I don’t think you know much about anything.

Seriously, I don’t think you know anything. Here’s beloved travel writer Rick Steves on the Eagle’s Nest: https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/read/articles/hitlers-eagles-nest-at-berchtesgaden There are many, many places to take in the awesome views of the Alps. To visit this one specific place? You’re going for WWII history. Add in fascist politics? You’re going to see Hitler’s mountaintop aerie. [/quote]

DP.  You're not making whatever point you think you are.  I read Steves' review of the area, and nowhere does he say it's a terrible place to visit, don't go, if you go you are a Nazi, etc.  In fact, this is what he says about it:

I’m sorry, I have to laugh at your inability to form an argument. I’d didn’t say he said any of those things. I said that if you go there, you’re going for the WWII history. And then you reinforced what I wrote.

[b]Clarence Thomas is a slow witted and corrupt person who shouldn’t have been nominated.[/b] Like some slimy influencer, he’s taken loads of gifts in exchange for no one quite knows. And it just so happens that the person from whom he takes all these gifts is equally crap. I haven’t seen a single Republican say this is bad.[/quote]

It is JUSTICE Thomas, to you, friend. 
Your opinion of him couldn't matter in the least.  
His command of the law and our Constitution are impressive.  As is his sense of humor and his ability to treat people kindly... unlike you.

[quote]Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor spoke highly of colleague Justice Clarence Thomas during an event on Thursday, saying, “He is a man who cares deeply about the court as an institution.”
Sotomayor, who is liberal, acknowledged during remarks at the American Constitution Society that while she often disagrees with the conservative justice, she believes that “we share a common understanding about people and kindness towards them”

“Justice Thomas is the one justice in the building that literally knows every employee’s name, every one of them. And not only does he know their names, he remembers their families’ names and histories,” she said.
“He’s the first one who will go up to someone when you’re walking with him and say, ‘Is your son okay? How’s your daughter doing in college?’ He’s the first one that, when my stepfather died, sent me flowers in Florida,” she added.[/quote]
