ISD Senior OSINT Analyst Elise Thomas writes an op-ed for the Moscow Times on Russian state media's reliance on American far-right news personality Tucker Carlson. Elise, along with other ISD analysts, has long studied Russian influence campaigns and argues that Tucker's content gives them ammo to back up their narratives in a much better way than they ever could. "Their tactics may change, but their strategy remains broadly the same: stoking existing divisions and turning up the dial on polarisation, rather than seeking to invent new issues with no basis in reality." Following this strategy, Russian state media has often relied on the ex-Fox News Channel anchor and his "knack for polarisation." read more

So, none of the MAGAs are concerned about cultting trillions in revenue to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and understand the direct effect that has on inflation. So, in other words, the MAGA's complaints about inflation were jusure parttisan*pplitics and If the MAGAs ever want to see their own or their children's lives better they will have to move past such partisanw income group they want to get ahead and support all low income groups getting ahead! Unfortunately, MAGAs, you got a little work to do there. Too much resentment when a black or brown person gets a promotion. You have to stop resenting promwithout racism of any kind!otions ans start celebrating them regardless of skin color and black and brown people need to stop resenting when white people get ahead! We would all do better t demand billionaires pay their without racism of any kind! But wealthy Americans know, if they can keep us hating each other, we won't dee, car payment, car insurance, propemand that billionaires pay their fair share in taxes; like the same percentage a parent with three kids earning $40,000 pays. Oh no, billionaires would call that highway robbery even though they cam pay it with zero personal pain or discomfort. But that wage earner earning $40,000 has real problems meeting all the BASIC expenses they need to; like rent or mortgage, car payment, car insurance, property insurance; required by mortgage company, day care for kids, etc. Excuse me, but do any of you feel billionaires are overtaxed?
FBI
Let's think about that for a moment; do you feelthat the police, FBI,ARE AS CONCERNdE ABOUT YOUR SAFESTY as they are about billionaires? If you do, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale! Point being, we spend far more proportionately protecting the very rich than the rest of us and why shouldn't they pay for it?
Furthermore: Do you honestly believe our courts are unbiased towards the rich proprty owners or that our entire legal system, so dependend up on professional legal representation doesn't benefit those who can afford legal representation as opposed to those who can't.

"Cali high speit may take lomger than a President's termed rail. 23 billion spent 0 passenger miles."

Same type of nrgativity existed when we nuilt the first cross continental railroad. It takes time to build a railroad and it may take onger than a President's term; big things take decades and President's serve four year terms, big things often do. Do you think the Interstate Highway System is a failure because it took far longer than Eisenhower's term in office to complete? Big things take decades which is why Congress authorizes big things not Presidents. "Visionaries" like Visitor are why Europe has high speed rail to wherever you want to go but America does not. Now Trump wants to stop infrastructure project presently under construction and leave states with partially completed roads, bridges, etc. which have already been approved by Congress thereby taking the "power of the purse" away from Congress which is unconstitutional so now we'll see if he meant the words of his oath, which most of us already knew he did not. And that is exactly why I refused to watch that liar take that oath again which he will dishonor immediately again! And he is already proving me right! Iit to Orlando and the theme parks theref other Presidents were like Trump nothing that takes over four years to build would have ever been built. When Obama left office the high speed rail system in Florida was not complete so Repyblivan governors stopped construction. It was complete from Fort Lauderdale to Miami and is heavily used and then they completed it to Orlando and the theme parks there which is where millions of tourists want to go and thething id great but it could have beenn with oba is great but it could havw bwwn done for one third of the cost if Republican goverbors hadn;t refused the federal dollars to complete it simply because Obama would have gotten the credit. They did the same stupid thing with Obamacare a/k/a the Affordable Care Act; they refused billions of dollars in federal dollars through Medicaid Expansion just because Obama would get the credit. Now ------- ------- Trump is going to cut back funding that pays for the only healthcare available to millions of children including those with long term conditions like Cystic Fibrosis and Muscular Distrophy which require expensive treatments poor parents can't afford. So this bastard is cutting off the lifeline fsor many thousands of children so that billionaires, like Musk, can have tax cuts they don't need. One irrefutable fact: Oba,acare saved thousands of lives by provifinf healthcare sevices which would have been denied without it! Now go to your Christian Church and brag about what good Christians you are. I'm pretty sure you recall how Jesus dealt with such folks as yourselves.
