Yeah, that’s why I didn’t participate in that thread, he literally baited that thread to be made in order for him to fling his shit around.

Well, there was that scene in _Patton_. He didn’t so much _lead_ a jackass to water as he, well, I’m not saying anyone should shoot DrDeth and throw him off a bridge, but it sure would be nice if someone would put him out of our misery, once and for all. ---

> [@Thing.Fish](#): > > To take one of **many** examples, you can’t mention Ossoff or Shapiro without him popping up to say “Well, some people say they can’t be elected because they’re Jewish”. He doesn’t explain what _he_ personally thinks of that argument or why, just drops that comment and moves on. That’s just his variation on “Pete Buttigieg can’t be elected because he’s gay,” which he spammed multiple threads with over and over until I called him on it. Then he pivoted to “Pete Buttigieg can’t be elected because he doesn’t have enough experience.” Over and over again. ---

He’s trolling again in the FQ thread about Noah’s Ark, arguing that there are true holy relics that are well documented, despite his cites that show otherwise. And then when he’s called on his bullshit and getting pinned in a corner, he does his typical “Oh, this is a hijack, you can start a thread about it”. ---

Ran across this classic in the Amelia Earhart thread. > [@Amelia Earhart's plane found on the sea floor?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/amelia-earharts-plane-found-on-the-sea-floor/58693/125): > > We’re getting well beyond Amelia Earhart, but this is nonsense. Apart from his accepting a Nazi medal and refusing to return it after Kristallnacht, his record as a bigot and Nazi appeaser [is clear](https://www.airandspaceforces.com/PDF/MagazineArchive/Magazine%20Documents/2014/August%202014/0814lindbergh.pdf).

Well duh, why should Lindbergh have returned his Nazi medal after Kristallnacht. I’m sure the Jews were asking for it by undermining Germany, the same way Poland started WWII by not negotiating with Hitler. Hmm, I wonder if he has the self-awareness to know that his latest bit of insanity in placing the blame for WWII on Poland (and thus also the UK/France for backing Poland) puts him firmly in the corner with such intellectual greats as Pat Buchannon > **[Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churchill,_Hitler,_and_the_Unnecessary_War)** > > Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World by Patrick J.

> [@TroutMan](#): > > There’s a new thread in GD asking why Hitler declared war on the U.S. Because Hitler was, like all the most prominent fascists, a fucking moron? If he’d have been smart, he wouldn’t have declared war on the US. He’d have left it to Roosevelt to expend political capital on and let it become a wedge issue. But then if he’d have been smart, he also wouldn’t have been a fascist. ---

He had to by treaty with Japan. To be fair, many (most?) of his advisers counseled him not to, treaty be damned. Why antagonize the U.S.? But the fact was, he was already in a shooting war with the U.S. and had been for some time. Roosevelt, clever fellow that he was, continued to “protect our commercial vessels” in secret coordination with Churchill, never quite tipping his hand to the congressional isolationists. ---

But yeah, had that thread remained open it would’ve been irresistible catnip for the notso-good Doctor. The OP was encouraged to try again better.
