I missed the news, did Germany invade Czechoslovakia again?


In a nutshell, aside from naming a non-existent country, wtf point was she on about?

I mean, hey, I'm as upset as the next guy over the breakup of the Habsburg Empire, but I think I'm pretty much over it on a personal level.

Austria's never done anything to me. Well, other than that Austrian Shepherd two-colored eyes thing. That's kinda weird.

This part gets to me, somehow:

. . . There is a bus service operated by OÖVV between Schärding and Eggerding which makes stops at Unterfucking (Lower Fucking) and Oberfucking (Upper Fucking). . . .

And the Habsburg empire broke up (or was broken up by France) in 1918. Czechoslovakia did not break up until 1992.

and helping Republicans to sell one of their key messages. "Liberal elites think they are better than you."

Now Lizard breath, who looks to me like an attractive young woman, will be able to go on TV and say "yes, I should have said Czechia instead of Czecholoslovakia, but the facts of what I meant are still true, that Obama abandoned our allies Poland and Czechia in favor of our enemies - Russia. But instead of being able to defend his actions, liberal elites would rather just jeer about my Biden-speak of saying Czecholsovakia" (insert clip of Biden here).

In that way, we help to create this Beavis and Butthead idiocracy that we live in. Because the Junior highers are in charge of our society.
