her grandfather had a few transactions with Nazis. Christia Freeland was meeting with the G7 on security issues in Toronto this week. Joy Reid may have had old posts dug up or false ones inserted. Looks like the Russians and their pals in the US are doing opposition research on all politicians and journalists they can. Just an FYI. Don't believe everything you hear. There is good and bad in everyone and trying to judge people on their longtime past is not reality.

I even dread the day someone punish me for what I got into as a young person. We as mature people may have made mistakes as youths that we have gotten past. These Russians must not have found anything if they went back to what grandpa was doing.

(35,356 posts)In some cases, I've changed my behavior, but I still did them. If they weren't a problem then, the only reason they're a problem now is because somebody's trying to find something to be outraged about for some reason.
If my behavior hasn't changed, my current behavior is what's at issue and the old information just shows that it's a long-standing behavior. It's still the current issue, though, that's at issue.
My grandfather's behavior is not my behavior, past or present.
