New I'm sorry. I didn't know you were so unfamiliar with English.
How'd this sub-thread start? Oh yeah, I posted this:
I don't disagree with your sentiment on the issue(s) of today. However, I can understand why some would view your latest post, if taken to be the general consensus, as hypocritical given how popular Ronnie Rayguns was and remained even after he shamed (in my view anyway) our nation with his antics on that horrible day in May, 1985.

"In my view anyway" is not a phrase used in English to express statements of fact.

HTH.

Anyone who claims that Reagan was not (at the very least) a Fascist sympathizer didn't pay attention to the 1980's.

Knowingly laying a wreath at the graves of dead SS is equivalent to saying, "All is forgiven."

So, the intent of the wreath laying was to say, "We forgive you the atrocities, now let's move forward".

The biggest giveaway is they always have slightly too specific of an answer to literally every question.
