Aw, that’s a darn shame. Poor(er) little Nazi…
Cryin’ time again?

You go girl!
There’s gonna be hell to pay when the little shit finally emerges from that basement in Indiana.
This photo shows a really scary Nazi. I’m frightened of his power and might blasting through my computer screen.
(LOL, they don’t make Nazis like they used to, I guess.)
Yeah, back in my day they looked like Henry Gibson.
It’s a shame Jim Phelps retired. This would be an assignment for the IMF to get a hold of this punk and bring him back to the US.
By probably not extraordinary coincidence, that was back in my day, too! Loved Laugh-In. (What’s the average age of commenters on TPM anyway?)
So here’s the fun part: all those parties get to cooperate on a team of forensic accountants to find where all the money has been coming from.
Yeah, I figured! When I spend a lot of time here, I tell myself all this writing is good for my 72 YO brain.
Would it be the original team? (Jim Phelps, Cinnamon Carter, Rollin Hand, Barney Collier, and Willy Armitage)? If not, substitute in Leonard Nimoy and Leslie Ann Warren?
The opening sequence writes itself. “Good morning, Jim. The man you are looking at is Andrew Anglin, a wannabe Nazi coup leader responsible for numerous social media attacks on semi-prominent American citizens. He would normally not be a serious national security issue, but he’s teamed up this man, Donald Trump. Trump successfully engineered a rigged election to take over the United States, backed by our adversaries in the east. The latter are using Trump to do what they weren’t able to accomplish during the Cold War: bring down the United States and replace it with a generic-1960s-eastern-European-Soviet-bloc-state, to make up for the fact that all those places are now part of the Warsaw alliance. Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to stop Anglin and Trump and restore freedom to the US. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds using NSA approved pyrotechnics for disposal of TS-SCI assets while you’re still inside this SCIF disguised as a phonebooth somewhere at random in LA. Good luck, Jim.”
In the episode itself, they pretend that Cinnamon is Ann Coulter, having determined that Anglin is an incel. While she’s seducing him, his mushroom falls apart and he’s out of service, after disclosing various personal details about Trump, including the – uh – hotel scene. After that, Phelps takes on the role of a Senate counterintelligence investigator (they actually did this in one episode) who plays the bad cop. Barney recreates the “pee pee” tape scene in Mar-El-Lago after Willie talks his way in to Mar-El-Lago by delivering a large crate containing Barney and a state-of-the-art set of 3D editing tools and studio) to Mar El-Lago. Trump thinks he’s back in Moscow, and Rollin (now in the role of Putin) gets him to incriminate himself on tape. Cue closing theme as the team heads off to MSNBC with the tape.
80?
LOL.I suddenly pictured Josh surrounded by hordes of chattering elderly TPM subscribers.
I was raised on Laugh-In, too. Arte Johnson famously did the “Verrry Interesting” German soldier bit, but H. Gibson as a Nazi was in this classic Blues Brothers scene, still so much fun to watch:
Columbus, OH.
Julius Streicher he ain’t, but I won’t object if he winds up like him.
