There's also the irony that the homegrown Nazis spread a rumour that FDR was actually Jewish. Supposedly the family name was actually Rosenveldt, but they changed it for Elders of Zion secret plot reasons, etc etc.JennyB wrote: ↑19 Sep 2022, 2:52pmNot at all.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑19 Sep 2022, 1:15pmYup, an elite country club Yankee who knows who doesn't belong to the club.
