@iBwatchinShit@ChildPleez007 You’re saying, “why don’t they complain when” about a presidency that ended 8 years ago instead of complaining about the things that are happening in real time.
Once again, the work, sacrifice and suffering of previous generations Black people has afforded your Black ass the “privilege” to say the dumb shit you say
The grand tradition of solving complex geopolitical tensions by... targeting college kids. Because nothing says "strategic foreign policy" like revoking the visas of students who are here to study, innovate, and often contribute to the U.S. economy and tech sector.
This kind of move doesn’t just hurt the individuals involved it sends a message to the world that America is becoming more insular, paranoid, and reactionary. And it plays right into the hands of authoritarian governments abroad who love to say, “See? The U.S. isn’t a free or welcoming society after all.”
If the goal is to outcompete China on the global stage, maybe the play shouldn’t be slamming the door on top academic talent. Just a thought.
Bove scolds Sassoon for pursuing "a politically motivated" case & says he's placing the AUSAs who supported her, Hagan Scotten and Derek Wikstrom, on leave. Note Sassoon is a Republican and FedSoc member. Scotten, an Army vet, clerked for Justice Kavanaugh

Politico is not being funneled cash by USAID.
Politico has a very expensive pro subscription that is an entire platform for tracking legislation, votes, lawsuits, reporting, and elite legislative analysis.
These subscriptions cost north of $10,000. Private sector CEOs and lobbyists pay for them. As do government workers. I’ve subscribed and use them before. They are amazing tools for keeping an eye on the government.
Politico sells these premium trade pubs to agencies. Duh. Govt agencies (like the private sector) want to work on the best info available. They (meaning CEOs and private corporations and the govt) wouldn’t pay if Politico wasn’t providing value.
Forcing the cancellation of these subscriptions is anti capitalist nonsense that is gonna make our government dumber, not smarter.
But more importantly - it isn’t some massive corrupt scheme. Politico does invaluable reporting in these trade pubs, so people pay.
A bunch of people looked at these expenses and thought they uncovered a massive scandal of “donations” or “funding” when really they discovered a success 10+ year old trade publication.
A bunch of conservative writers who work at subscription based publications are claiming this is some conflict of interest, yet they all write articles every day about people who subscribe to their work. I do this too at Tangle - it’s not a conflict of interest to write about people who pay to access your writing!
Please just spend 30 seconds thinking critically before swallowing all this stuff whole.
Cumberland’s $20k relocation offer went viral—1,000+ want a spot in the Western MD mountains. Now, the town has to pick winners, and some locals aren't thrilled.
“Nobody saw this coming. Nobody.”
