democratic candidates after Carter don't know politics... al they know is AIPAC, punch the left, twerk, be bipartisan, kill Arabs and lie

This is an interesting, entertaining, well-researched and well-written piece exploring the nature of political networks and the power of presidential pardon, and doesn't serve to be downvoted out of hand.

Articles like this are not ammo for your opponents in a partisan shitflinging contest, they're nourishment for your awareness of how politics actually works and how unintentionally comedic and convoluted white collar crime can be.

If you're a fan of Better Call Saul or Coen Brothers movies, you might appreciate it as a narrative if not as a lesson about political corruption. It reminds me a bit of the Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow story.

Eventually, Turkey and Syria will be strategic allies and hopefully Turkish industry and political cover can help Syria safeguard itself from Israel's maniacal Lebensraum project.

Israel literally kept the Golan Heights as a buffer zone inside Syrian territory. It then annexed it and is now occupying new Syrian territory as a buffer zone for Golan Heights. Same in Gaza, same in Lebanon. This is an expansionist power which committs outrages against occupied Palestinians, then when Palestine's allies invoke their right to protect Palestinians, it steals territory.

And only America and Europe can change that by ending their support for its settlements and military. Instead they scheme to undermine all of its neighbors, play on their Sykes-Picot divisions to ensure no progress is made unless it has the Israeli stamp of approval on it.

Stop giving him health advice, you're ruining it for the rest of us!

The trail of tears reenactment is over in Gaza, this is more of a nation-wide pogrom.

reports say

When will it comes out that the so-called "Iranian assassination attempt" on Trump were just an FBI entrapment case played up to ginned up to make him look good and increase anti-Iran paranoia? The Deep State is with Trump, it's ran by militaristic Judeo-Christian fanatics who suspect their family pet is a CCP agent.

As insane as some of these Trump picks sound, in the case of Patel and a few others I wonder if they aren't just shrewd - they simply play up to MAGA and Trump because they've realized he's the most powerful man within the GOP and that his base provide a well of fanatical political loyalty they can tap into for their careers without necessarily meaning the crazy things they say.

Sucks that you can't object to these on the legal ground that they violate the fucking Geneva Conventions.

Can't these "fascism is coming" mfs just read the report into the record? Have some balls! If you're going tell voters to forget about things like Medicare For All and vote to save denocracy, at least make a show of putting up a fight.

You'd think him running around the office drunk, shouting "kill all Muslims" would have put him out of the question, but then again it's America.

The smattering of hicks and incels across the US don't concern me so much as the Judeo-Christian-liberal fanatics that have ran foreign policy since the Bush years, can't make up their minds about Ukraine and seem to only care about Greater Israel and getting into a shooting war with China.

In that case these feds should be thrown in jail for refusing to produce a warrant.

I have no objection to this so long as Quebec is annexed to France and Trump's wall is build to contain it.

These papers care about him promising not to do it then doing it anyways - that's also part of the controversy.

This isn't a court of law and they weren't the person who I made the claim to. They can google it.

You could simply google it instead of asking and waiting for me to google it for you yknow.
