Fool.

He should have "rioted" in Portland.

[jon-nyc]

There’s a reason Lenin called them useful idiots.

[Jolly]

Even idiots deserve due process.

And let us not forget how Lenin died...

[Copper]

At least he didn't have to listen to Yoko anymore

There is some comfort in that

I don’t think we know with any certainty.

I think most people would agree it wasn't from natural causes.

There is no reason to hold these people. They are no threat to the community, at least not in the traditional sense.

Of course there is. F'ing MAGATS are insurrectionists, don'tcha know.

Here are the charges:

(skims article)

Hmmm.

Insurrection is not among the charges. They should be tried in Portland where most of them would either have the charges dropped or just do timed served.

[Mik]

WAPO always describes it as the deadly Jan 6 attack. The only person killed was one protestor.

Really? Seems to me the general consensus among historians it was from strokes caused by arteriol sclerosis.

[jon-nyc]

Certainly that was the consensus among Soviet historians.

Who I trust as far as I could throw.

[Renauda]

@jolly

So you have some credible sources that say otherwise?

No, of course not.

[Renauda]

Not just Soviet sources. Besides, if it were otherwise, I am confident that the whole story would have been exposed in all its sordid details thirty years or more ago.

[Doctor Phibes]

I thought Lenin had syphilis?

[Renauda]

@doctor-phibes

It’s been postulated but never proven. On the other hand, Joe Stalin was pretty profligate and, apparently quite fecund. He too did not die of syphilis. Not that it really matters.

No, of course not.

I'm glad you trust the Soviets. Considering their history in such matters, pardon me if I don't.

I glad too that you admit that you really have no clue about what you are talking about regarding the topic of Lenin’s death.

Sorry, I have past behavior and the weight of history on my side.

@jolly

I’m not the least bit sorry but that must be a terrible burden.
