Saudis aren’t trying to get Trump elected
The Israelis are, though.
But Russia influence is really bad.
US business interests have more influence over Russian foreign policy than Russians have on the US.
terrifying scale
barely a percentage point compared to the fossil fuel industry's war on Green Energy
I suppose you could reasonably argue that Rex Tillerson and Vladimir Putin were already joined at the hip. But the US advertising and influencing industry is vast - $515B annually and growing. The Russians aren't even in the top ten of foreign influence peddlers. FFS, the Saudis bought golf.
The people are not the state there.
I'll hear this line up front, and then I'll watch the country get terrorized while Americans insist the victims of bombings deserve it.
I have ~12 million listens across various streaming services
The great thing about bots is that they can listen to every song on file, 24/7/365, and you can spin up as many of them as you like. 12 million is nothing.
Harris: Predictable, business friendly, heavily embedded in DC/LA machine politics, generally willing to horse trade with anyone at the right price
Trump: Loose cannon, dead beat, burned in both party establishments, constantly looking to screw you over for the slightest of personal advantages
Damn, can't believe Harris is the preferable option.
Never forget he unloaded buckshot into another man’s face and that man and their family apologized to him for the mental trauma they caused him.
Possibly the funniest moment of the Cheney presidency. Shame he couldn't have done that to more people in his inner circle. Filling Paul Wolfowitz's face with bird shot would have made all subsequent CNN interviews better.
I did not realize the distance between the US and Canada was so big.
Football should be like the Olympics. I really don't need to know who is the best Quarter Of The Way Back year-to-year. Every four years is fine.
So, its funny. I remember another statewide leader taking a historic bus trip with a group of immigrants.
Pharmacies just on the other side of the US/Mexico border are selling the exact same prescription drugs as those available in Texas pharmacies at drastically reduced prices, entirely thanks to the cartelized nature of domestic pharmaceutical prices. While it is not illegal to buy these drugs for personal use and transport them across the border, it is illegal to buy them and bring them across the border for sale.
When you think about what a guy like Greg Abbott is doing, when he rounds up a bunch of "illegal immigrants" and buses them around the country, its worth considering what does and does not constitute as crime.
They were just called Unhoused Spiders back then.
Clearly not, or Russians wouldn't be able to slide cash into the pockets of social media influencers so easily.
