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.
