No one ever *made* him eat anything.

Nuh uh. Could be he ordered intelligence agencies to make a bunch of shit up about him, and it got out. Makes perfect sense.

I suspect a solid 95% of Americans would greet her full resume with a befuddled, "Oh."

He lives a life of leisurely entitlement, but he still acts like a dirt bag, like me!

That's Chromewashing at it's most blatant.

That seems odd to you? Hasn't that been the game plan for the past ~75 years?

I'm getting sleepy just thinking about that cat food.

Yeah, seen it twice in my life with family members as well. I have to assume it's fairly common.

I'm thinking that kind of thing would've had a slight chance of blowing their cover.

Yeah, but it doesn't seem particularly natural to drink a fungus-based beverage either.

I believe the sort of bar you're referring to is "all bars". Because White Russians are delicious…though, now the name feels vaguely racist, particularly with all their pro-putin garbage.

Yeah, that about sums up my view of them. Generally left-field is my thing, but his death just looms over it too much for me.

Sure, but you can't just edge us like that.
