Well, if you want an accurate depiction of the spy created by Ian Fleming, then:
According to a number of Ian Fleming's original 007 novels, James Bond was 6 feet tall and slender, with blue-gray eyes, a "cruel" smile, vertical scar on his right cheek, and looked like 1940s-50s actor/songwriter Hoagy Carmichael.

Hitler was a far-Right fascist whose party was named the National Socialist German Workers' Party to attract working-class voters.
Then he banned the Social Democratic and Communist parties, and sent socialists and communists to concentration camps.

Theory:
Maria Hill is actually Robin Cherbotsky from How I Met Your Mother. They exist in the same universe.
It's why she traveled the world so much as "an anchor" but yet nobody ever knew who she was (common plot point). She had previously changed her identity as well.
It's also why she was so proficient with a firearm and seemingly always landed back in New York - despite consistently pushing any potential relationship away .. "because of her career"

The maximum amount an individual can donate to a candidate is $3500.
Elon Musk just donated $7 million to one Republican, because Citizens United gave a loophole to billionaires to buy elections.
Overturn Citizens United.

Family Guy recently made a Civil War version of "Who's on First" that had me crying laughing. It had no business being that good.
