Gee, I wonder why he's asking? /s

These guys are corrupt to the core, and too arrogant to bother hiding it.

@teyrnon @ZeroCool I disagree they're too "arrogant to bother hiding it".

Why bother hiding a thing (except rape and murder and lying about it). They're getting away with it.

That is my point, they don't think (correctly as of yet,) that anyone would dare stop them, or could stop them, so they are openly corrupt. Open to those of us in reality. Their followers and the assorted sheep might not realize it, because they are led astray by people manipulating them.

@teyrnon It is insane and shows how stupid we can be and are. Neighbors are trying to sell their house to move to a good school district. What they don't know is it'll be propaganda and lies. It'll happen slowly but they have no clue or care.

About 6 years ago, I asked Ruth Ben-Ghiat if we could move (in this country). She said we can move anywhere we want. What I realized later was yeah, we can move anywhere we want because no place here will be safe.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
