Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA), the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, joins “The Weekend: Primetime” to discuss the costs of the war, the redistricting wars, and the funding fight over what he calls the “damn, stupid ballroom.” - Aired on 05/10/2026.

Lots of edifices to himself, lots of vanity buildings and edifices to celebrate the enduring 1,000 years of the third Reich.
Lots of wars in different countries, most unsuccessful.
At the end of the whole WW2 shitshow, mind.

And it all got torn down, wiped from history.

Trump, you know anything about history?
Seems not.
