That's funnier than most late-night politically correct "comics".

Poland attacked Germany.

China attacked Japan.

Really old joke Lavrov, and still not funny.

You don't believe the NY Times?/

In a publicly available excerpt, the book elaborates the manner in which the New York Times almost served as the propaganda wing of the Nazi Regime in Germany. The newspaper regurgitated Nazi propaganda of a Polish attack on Germany, which was furthered to justify by the regime to justify its invasion of Poland.

And another way the Russians are acting like the Nazis.

unfortunately, the people on the truly Looney Tunes right here in the US are actually buying this. Also on the Looney Tunes left.

I'm surprised no one (that I have heard of) has said Putin is colluding with Trump to get evidence on Hunter Biden and Busima(sp?), get rid of Joe Biden, and bring Trump back.
Although that theory is probably out there in the stupider parts of the internet.

Internet went out spent most of the day isolating the fault. Tough because 'net went and out. Hard to troubleshoot a fault when everything is working. Finally isolated to the router. Went out and got a new one and set it up.

Back online.

'Net access kind of important when one works form home and has to remote into computers at the office.

Yes. Our last problem was DSL due to central office issues, Got a wireless hotspot and had a lot of issues with Verizon Wireless getting it set up (the store was closed and I had to get the device at "Best" Buy). Took three agents to set it up, three charges to set it up, and a complaint to the FCC to get full credit for two of those. 

Works, but gets throttled late in the month, so I then use our cell phones for higher speed access. Hey, we can get real unlimited on the cell phones, so if they won't give that on the hotspot, I will find a way to work around it.

The thing is, my wife had critical work that required the internet the next day, so I couldn't just have her rely on her cell phone hotspot. Our landline connection still sucks, but with all the snow it is hard to get to the interface box to be sure it is outside the house
