    I've accumulated a few bad boy points in my first three days on this site so I must resist the urge to post political memes, but I do like the "I Voted For Pedro" T-shirt.

    Um ... The CEO of the company that owns MFP is a huge Trump supporter.

    The ads you see are based solely on your Internet search history. Stop looking at political stuff and you won't see political ads.

    You can't just say his name like that...there could be children browsing this forum.

    I cant believe this outrage!!!! Next they will be trying to tell us that dinosaurs didn't live with people and the world is round (oval). They should not be trying to sway our beliefs. The world is 3000 years old and is flat people....

    Personally I don't think they "push". I had ads a few months ago that would literally crash the program (one of those with un-close-able pop ups).

    Those darn alternative facts. They are just everywhere.

    except my facebook page...I blocked everyone who has ever posted an article that doesn't 100% reinforce my world view.

    I just blocked facebook, canceled my cable, subscribe to netflix/amazon prime (avoiding documentaries), and leave the room when politics comes up in conversation.

    I live in a very happy bubble now. MFP is a breath of sweaty dank gym air compared to facebook's stench of polidatamanipulative Gorgonzola farts.

    All this aside:

    US-UK relationship which defeated Hitler and the Soviets is a liberal agenda???

    Um...The Ruskies pretty much saved everyone's hide against Hitler no? Those arsenals were churning out the firepower that laid down the law starting in Stalingrad. It was a collective effort, but give the Russo's their due against Herr Hitler.

    True. The Germans handled the cold very poorly.

    Also, come on. Everyone forgets about the Canadians but we were in there starting in 1939.

    I like Canadians.

    I know it's been a common American joke nowadays to make fun of the Canadian military, but historically during the run up to WW2, Canada was out there in full force, when the US was only involved via embargos and sanctions.

    Some even go as far as saying the U.S. provoked Japan into joining the Axis due to the embargos and sanctions and (cough cough...shipping lane blockades...cough cough).

    But. That's. None. Of. My. Business.

    They love the WW2 discussions. Esp. the piggy revisionist history.

    I had a nice response I was typing to you Piggy but it got locked down in the interim and I hit "Post Reply" and everything went kaput.

    I don't remember most of it now. So it must have been talk out of my hind quarters. I DRC if they reclose it, I just happened to notice.

    by "was never allowed" you mean "didn't want to"?

    If you use one of those doo-hickeys which prevents any thing resembling an add from showing up you will not need to put forth green paper in exchange for "premium".

    No I tried! It kept giving me the old, "your comment will post after it has been approved by moderation." My last comment has what I have been trying to say all day but they won't let me! I had to speak in code!
