You got it!
Anyone who shows up for this travesty is knowingly choosing to act as a prop for authoritarian kabuki because they’re too cowardly or amoral to pass up vapid schmoozing and free drinks. They deserve your contempt, and possibly a few pieces of rotting produce.
Good luck finding a politician with genuine humility!
I've seen a lot of references online to a "J.

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.
There are unlimited genuine problems with higher education that all should be fixed, many of which Zimmerman mentions in article.

You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?

So, for example, the founders establishing the U.S. Post Office was one of the first faint stirrings of a socialistic mindset?
So Kash at times appears falling down drunk; as long as he can do his job as well as Hegseth…
Same with NAFTA; if it wasn’t his, it has to go so he can put something just like it in its place with his name on it.
For really a matter of decades, some in this country have confounded Western European style social democracy with post-WWII Soviet style Marxist-Leninism.
No government, not even an autocracy, can stand this level of corruption for very long.
When you have a strong prescription, big glasses are hell.
As long as they express unquestioning loyalty to him, he’s happy with it…
