Brickbat: A Big Furor


The owner of a pub in Bavaria faces up to four years in prison after investigators found bottles of Führer Wine, with images of Adolf Hitler on the labels, in his pub. Officers say the man has no links to the far-right. He says he received the wine as gift and thought it was funny. The wine is part of a series of wines from an Italian winery with historical images on the label.

Morning,Yes the real problems in Germany are ''hate wine' and sweeps for 'hate speech' concerning 'he who cannot be named'' There isn't any other group causing problems like rape and murder in that country.
Evening to you. A glass of Merkel to complement your tender loins, Ma'am?
Waiter, do you have anything less authoritarian?
Well, there's the broken egg omelette, that's not got much authoritarianism in it.
My mother died this morning,just found out. I won't be here much for a while. Good day folks
I'm terribly sorry to hear that. Seriously, my condolences.
My condolences.
Damn....take care of business, we will still be here whenever you return.
Sorry to hear Adans =(
Sorry to hear that, RIP
That's terrible, my condolences to you and yours.
@adans smith - Im sorry, was this post not hysterically xenophobic enough for you? You must have a rough time on the internet. There are literally BILLIONS of websites that dont say ANYTHING about the eeeevvvil mooooslims. I mean TMZ? Not even a single post about it.
You know who else liked images of Adolf Hitler?
Your grandmother?
Eva Braun?
Eva Braun?
Alfred Rosenberg?
Leni Riefenstahl?
Adolph's Facebook friends?
Bravo!
*applause*
Heinrich Hoffman?
Hanna Reitsch?
What's the matter, Adolf...a little testy?
In your heart you know he's Reich!
Putsch your hands together for BigT!
Give that man a gold star!
How about a *narrows gaze* for the lot of them, instead?
I can Nazi just what is so funny about these comments
"Obey your thirst without question."
"Vee haff vays uf makink you drunk!"
"Aren't you glad you use Sure deodorant? Don't you wish everyone did?"
Wait, wrong joke.
Dem donor list leaks tho...or is reason going to resist reporting on the real story for another 14 hours?
Is it kosher?
My I have a glass of Pinochet Noir?
Excuse, bartender. This bottle of Catherine the Not Late has a tampon floating in it.
(I'd apologize for that, but :p)
/stern narrow gaze.
Yeah, I ain't gonna laugh at this when you've got kids in Missouri petitioning to have a statue of that evil old slaveholder Thomas Jefferson removed from campus, and there's plenty of other examples of the same urge to erase "triggering" history.
Yeah, the left would love to have the same power over speech in the US. Because of course, even if free speech "is a constitutional right, then it ? like every other constitutional right ? is subject to reasonable regulations."
And by reasonable regulation, they mean so many restrictions as to make free speech a dead letter.
Is Hildog dying of vascular dementia?

Might be a better fit than Parkinson's if the writer is to be believed.
Need some expert opinion, and of course more info, to be confident.
The deep state donors are gonna be pissed if they find out they were lied to. They've got to be scrambling now to find a new horse to jump on.
can't beat a dead horse? sure you can ...
I'm telling you - it doesn't matter. After they got Obama re-elected in 2012, the Dems realized they could run Satan against a Republican Jesus Christ and they'd still win. They've got a majority of so many minorities locked up - the blacks, the hispanics, the women, the young, the old, the sick, the poor, the good, the bad and the ugly - the only way the GOP can hope to win is if they run a Democrat of their own. The middle-class American voters with their middle-class American values of hard work and clean living and personal responsibility being the key to getting ahead are a negligible minority of the electorate. We're all agreed now the way to get ahead is whine and cry about your victim status and how much you deserve free shit from the government.
BTW - Trump's now proposing increasing welfare spending by expanding the EITC, and we know he's in favor of higher taxes and spending, has he come out in favor of free college yet or is that next week's policy speech?
I am surprised people take Trump's policy proposals seriously. They are not serious.
He is trying to get elected the old fashioned way - by pandering.
His early anti immigration talk and most of his earlier positions were negotiating positions that he will compromise to get a deal. The DEAL is his goal.
Now, with the base locked up and jazzed for the campaign, he is trying to combat his image as evil, deranged racist by pandering to blacks, women, whomever his consultants tell him he needs to in order to appear presidential, thoughtful, and empathetic.
Trump is really not that tough to understand.
BigT gets it.
Pepperidge Farm remembers...
when politicians were just considered pandering gas bags, not the next coming of the Jeebus
Good thing "The Dictator Series" from Avery stuck to less controversial folks.

"""bottles of F?hrer Wine, with images of Adolf Hitler on the labels, """
So they had pictures of Trump?
Someone was Furhious about those bottles.
"Mein F?hrer, I can enjoy wine again!"
People, I expected this thread to be an orgy of 'You know who else...?' jokes, but not bad. Not bad.
You know who else was disappointed in the lack of orgies?
Jesse?
You know who else expected more Hitler references?
Funk and Wagnells?
Mel Brooks?
Ha! Won't that guy feel silly when he finds out Hitler was a teetotaler!
Swig Heil!
