Don’t doubt this conspiracy yarn has been around for a long time. Until now either I had never heard of it or, if I did, I paid no attention and wrote it off as crackpot coffee and doughnut shop gossip- which is what it is.
Further to what Wim and Klaus wrote, I agree. I knew and worked with German and Hungarian vets who experienced Soviet hospitality as POWs after the war. Went to school with Polish kids whose civilian parents experienced the same during the war. Also worked with a couple of German and Italian vets who experienced British and Canadian hospitality as POWs during and after the war. No comparison.

One never knows, but his past couple years hold limited promise.
Meh, 2024 he was coming off an Achilles tear. He actually looked decent at the end of the world. And he missed all of 2023. If he performs half as well as he did in 21, it’s the best our starting QB has looked since 18.
I wonder what Brown and Sotomayor would say if you asked them why they voted this way in this case yet against the plaintiffs in Harvard v fair admissions.
We’ve paid half the tuition and are paying the interest on the loans. Luke is paying the principal.
That being said, I think it’s been tough living at the median income with a single income since the 80s, when the majority of families became two income households.

No weigh.
In my view there’s not as much need to create a 3rd party as there was historically. As Trump showed a charismatic figure can take over the party apparatus of one of the existing parties. That wasn’t quite possible on the dem side in the last couple elections but the party is probably weak enough now for it to be possible.
But of course I’m with you on yearning for more moderate politics.
