Love the new icon!

We need Magic School Tank merch.

Fun Fact: One of the guys who dug up his grave and stole the body is also from the village my family is from, Domenico Leccisi. Who is listed as one of the 'notable' people on Wikipedia right next to Gaetano Salvemini; who is a well know anti-fascist politician and writer.

The reason I ride my bike on the sidewalk is because there's always a car in the bike lane and if I try to go around them I will immediately die.

Are there any news articles about this I need to know more

Noah Sodeman

To be fair, the shitty smg was French. The Beretta smgs are primo.

Brandon P

Well Francis, I know a guy in Jefferson City who invoked castle law with a katana.

Tom Warner

Tom should've never explained the concept of a good cave to Joe

Nick S.

Having Joe here talking about the death of Mussolini and having Joe as co host on "Behind the Bastards" talking about Beria. A kind of best of both worlds. Wonder if they had a note pinned on that SS guy, they dropped to the Allies: "From a concerned citizen, please handle with care"

Boomer opinion: if you’re above 6”2, you should get an exit row seat for free.

Michael Davies

Post-Franco Spain feeling v attacked here

Charlie Lawton

If you liked Dongo, you'd be delighted to hear about Asso, which is another Italian town 30 km to the north

kliachichka

As long as Benito wasn’t into water sports.

Mark Hewson

Hey, there's nothing wrong with Rhode Island! Other than the governor. Or the Washington Bridge. Or the mayor of Providence (Fuck you Smiley!) Or the roads... Despite all of that, I love this place.

Chris Morse

I have a similar bare wall problem, but decided that if i won't hang anything on the wall i might as well wallpaper over the problem on the barest wall with a 4m wide picture of a nice czech castle

Minna Ihalainen

The indignity of Mussolini having to report to the recipient of the The First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence is hysterical

Grumpy Bowlart

After hearing about how vicious the crowds in Milan were I'm actually kind of disappointed they didn't get Mussolini there alive.

John Her

The most cursed thing is that moussilinis grave now looks like a literal worshipping shrine, it is literally a google maps location, with a lot of facist reviews.

Anggg

I need this because Jason Isaacs as Zhukov was the perfect balance of hilariously absurd, pompous swagger and hitting me squarely in all of my daddy issues.

Page Chase

Ah yes, Count Pedro of Dongo Town. Veteran of many battles with, among other things, the clap.

Matt

Waitz What is the 1943 version of playing Steam?

doug steinhurst

Finally a story with a happy ending

Sindiix

Is there an Italian General who has a ridiculous number of medals that Jason Isaacs can play should Mussolini's death ever be turned into a dark comedy?

Matthew Mayton

The Blackshirt Parade

Max W

Giggling and kicking my feet (I’m Sicilian-American and my great uncles were almost tortured to death by the black shirts)

CEA

I need some positive(I guess that's a way of putting it) French representation! My grandpa(WW2) and my granduncle(WW2/Korea) were no surrender monkeys, goddamnit!!!

Alex

Eh, kind of like other fascists in Europe their favorite place to go was into the ruling coalition of the postwar government.

Philip Manzi

I know I've commented some version of this before, but y'all seriously need to do a Monte Cassino series. My grandpa fought as a tank commander in the 4th battle with the French 8e Chasseurs D'afrique. His group even got a tiger kill during the drive to Rome.

Alex

Finally something uplifting

Mae Berens

Oh shit a Zoo Crew episode!

I_like_planes_and_cities

"Executed by a communist accountant" is possibly the funniest killfeed message ever

Nadie Southpaw

Oh hells ya. I've been fantasizing about this happening again to so many different people.

Brian Lancaster

The cover art for mussolinis memoir is just him dressed up as a sad pagliacci

Salvador

Made a comment on Mussolini on Twitter and now this comes out. Proof that Joe has Professor X like psychic powers

S.O. Khan

As a HOI4 fan... no offense taken, we know lol

Mike H

Ah yes, zoo crew non sharpes episode. Great times.

Wyatt Nilsson

Hahahaha

A girl I graduated high school with got to use a Mussolini quote for her senior quote. Thanks Oklahoma!

Ben Redman
