Sunday

ten years later on her anniversary.

So I'm wondering what his Jewish in-laws said to him all throughout those years? Nothing? Did not know/recognize the tattoo. If they were not offended why are so many concerned now, makes one wonder. This was known back in late 2025, and there is an interview published in Vanity Fair. This is now coming out again with the new NYT piece a week before the primaries.

Not a resident and cannot vote there, but I do know war changes one for a lifetime, I saw it with my father.

Thanks for posting.
