I watched a WW2 documentary last night about post-war Germany. The country investigated its own self for post-war crimes. Coincidentally, very few Nazi prison camp guards were brought to justice.

Well — one less stress for us, folks. We shan’t concern ourselves with Taylor’s Eras tour schedule and whether or not she can arrive to the Super Bowl with time to spare.
