Dennis and Julie: Communism and Travel

17 weeks ago Dennis and Julie discuss appreciating the United States from abroad. They review the news events of the past month – the Trump shooting, Biden stepping down, and Kamala being anointed. How would the media have acted if the assassination attempt had been on President Biden? What would have happened if the assassination attempt had been successful? Julie speculates if it was a deep state conspiracy. Julie was attending Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s wedding when the assassination attempt occurred. If you become aware of bad news… do you share it at a happy occasion? Other topics include: Julie’s travel in Europe; Scootering with Amala; Waterslides in Hungary; Meeting James Orr; Traveling abroad alone provides a different experience than travelling with family and friends; “Uber-ing” from Bucharest to Transylvania; Dennis’ reflections on Eastern Europe; Living under Communism; Not all pain comes from evil.
