I might as well have told them that life in the USSR was similar to life in New York, where people had to learn to keep their mouths shut and to look over their shoulders before saying anything remotely political.

Gee, an attempt to bury some hatchets, and here you are trying to gin up bad feelings again.

So are you a troll or a paid hack?

Thank you for posting this.

I am reminded of this...

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative,
when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say
good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested
a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang
of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and
had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever
else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and,
notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t
love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved
everything that happened afterward.”

-Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Really? I always beat my girlfriend to death, stuff her in a trunk, and flee to France.

I don’t know what “acting unusual “ would be for him.

I used to like the guy when he was connecting the dots with the corrupt commies on FOX. Then I don’t know what happened to him, it started at the end of his FOX show and now he needs help.

In other words, public shaming didn't unwean Trump from his supporters but caused them to go underground.

Underground? Not even close. This has been a particularly nasty primary.

I don’t base my decisions on others opinions, however good or bad THEIR opinions are. This election will change....we do not have a winner yet.
