Chris Hayes said earlier that the White House hasn't been damaged like this since the War of 1812. 

Remember when Dotard promised that the construction of his Emperor's throne room wouldn't damage the White House?

 

Well....it was completely gutted during the Truman administration to restore it, but only because it was in danger of collapsing.

I'm guessing ole' Harry asked the House and Senate for permission to do the work, however.

Whoa--hold on here, friend.

Submarine attacks on merchant shipping was not solely a German practice.  It was the practice of the United States Navy to attack Japanese merchant vessels (both cargo and passenger) from the outset of the War in the Pacific, in direct contravention of the 1936 London Protocol on Submarine Warfare. 

The primary difference is that the USN's unrestricted submarine warfare was successful.  By Summer 1945, the Japanese merchant fleet had been destroyed; the Home Islands were on the precipice of starvation.  But wasn't different was the targeting of passenger ships without forewarning.  For example, In 1942, USS Grenadier sunk the Taiyō Maru on its way from Manila to Singapore, killing more than 1,000 civilians.  In 1944, USS Nautilus sunk the passenger liner America Maru, killing around 500 civilians (mainly women and children) evacuating Saipan.  

As to gas attacks, both sides used prodigious amounts of gas during World War I.  Neither side used gas in World War II, but the historical record pretty clearly establishes that Britain would have done so had Germany invaded England.

So you know what--let's focus on things that actually show the moral shortcomings of the Germans and maybe lay off where we ourselves live in a glass house.

Those particular named vessels had been requisitioned into IJA/IJN service. And in the case of the first one, was being used to bring technicians and administrators to run illegally conquered territories. Would sort of be like the Ukrainians shooting down an Aeroflot charter that the Russian Aerospace Forces were using to fly occupation authorities into Mariupol.

" The White House is reprogramming billions in congressionally approved spending during the shutdown, aiming to pay troops, ICE agents and others who work on programs that fulfill the president's political agenda."

Bypassing our elected representatives budget, kinda seems like we are now in "Taxation without Representation" territory.

It’s important to correct the record for those who claim Hitler took control of Germany in 1933. Conservative Germans gave him control.
