1. Quite a while ago there was a post here that read "I'm Norwegian
and I'm drunk, ask me anything." I asked "Where is Quisling buried?" The response as I recall, was "who the fuck cares?" I responded that if people knew they could piss on his grave.

2.  Odd that people don't care...
guess it's modern progress or something like that.

My memory is shot...I think there is a male American,
last name begins with an A. I think he was buried
secretly in an unknown location because people hated
him for what he did. (I forget that also) and the
family didn't want anyone pissing on his grave.

No doubt all reThugliCons and the quisling Dems will
also be buried in unmarked graves.

7. not Arnold.
This thug was more recent.

I'm guessing he lived/died within the past 100 years
in USA.

Hopefully his name will just pop up when I am thinking
about something else.

6. The people who today act like Vidkun Quisling should keep something in mind
Namely what happened to Vidkun Quisling in the end of WWII. And when that day comes for today's quislings, people like us will be there...

Sleep tight, quislings.
