Did Hitler ever kill anyone himself? Did he hold the gun or the knife? I think he just ordered people's deaths.

I believe he did, yes. Though tbf, neither has anyone in 2016, despite conspiracy theorists. Not Trump. Not Sanders. Not Clinton.

Well I put ordering a death on par with pulling the trigger yourself. If deploy a drone to bomb a wedding, you're still a murderer, just with more ways to distance yourself from what you did.

Hm-hmm. Kinda reminds me of what SF Debris said in his review of "Death Wish."

Well Hitler was in the trenches of WW1.
So, probably.
Not that there's any difference as people said.
Mind you, I'm with those conspiracy theorists (who cease to be such when proven right as with PRISM) that believe Dick Cheney embezzled a large portion of the Iraq rebuilding fund.

I feel like Teapot Dome and Watergate would barely be scandals today.

Regardless of the political overton window, Neelix sure has managed to raise the standards for how bad something has to be before it can be considered a presidential scandal.
