Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Can Hitler’s estate sue him for copyright theft?
You joke but there's no Hitler's Estate. His progeny decided not to procreate and essentially all died out after WW2.
Holy shit so he didn't go back in time to kill Hitler, he went to the future and killed future Hitler.
That's why Trump is taking up the mantle
That sounds like a fun twist to some hilariously bad WW2 fan-fiction
Hitler had no 'progeny'. That word means descendants, not descendants of siblings or cousins. Well ignoring some completely unproved allegations about some children from affairs that is.
And there are still some living descendants of Hitler's siblings. His older half brother Alois had two kids, the younger died during the war and the elder, William, didn't get on with Uncle Hitler so moved to the UK before the war. He later moved to the US and joined the US Navy in 1944. He changed his surname to Stuart-Houston and had four children, one of which is dead but the other three are still alive and childless.
His older half sister Angela married Leo Raubal and had three kids. Two of them had a child each who are still alive. Dunno if either of those have any kids.
As to his estate it's a bit complicated, and I know it's reddit but askhistorians is a good place and there's a good overview of Hitler's estate here: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/9kv001/what_happened_to_hitlers_bank_account/e72gd8l/
Don't link reddit. There's no Hitler Estate.
"Five months after her death, the Federal Court in Berchtesgaden issued a certificate of inheritance in which Paula Hitler was awarded two-thirds of Hitler's estate.[2]"

Or is Wikipedia also not allowed?
Don't be a jackass. This isn't Reddit.
I do indeed joke.
Maybe Trump's family will follow the same lead.
They legally changed names
I said there's no Hitler estate.
