everyone is most concerned with what happens, regarding leadership, within their own borders. that's not a u.s. thing, at all.
Huh? Election interference is definitely a U.S. thing.
We are definitely at the top of the heap when it comes to manipulating foreign elections it's one of the few things both parties relish in
And we’re probably the only country that has the means to do it by any means necessary with no threat of direct accountability. We’ve empowered some beauts over the years.
Yeah definitely but I wouldn't underestimate China and Russia when it comes to world manipulation probably equally as bad
China’s definitely catching up and Russia’s been at it almost as long as us. There’s an advantage to being the world police/leader of the free world/champions of democracy etc. though, it gives us more cover while we move the pieces on the board. All bad.
Always ends up fucked up too. As bad or worse than if we left it alone. I guess its always been this way since the first time man ever held elections.

Any evil piece of shit will do as long as they’re anti-Communist or willing to keep US profits in whatever industry they specialize in high.

If you dig into CIA history you’d wonder what good things they’ve ever done...

yeah, we do it. we're not the only one to do it. we are also not the only one who cries foul more when it's done to us, than when it's done to other countries.

We are by far the biggest perpetrators. It’s a strange thing to downplay and make an “all sides” thing.

Newsom's next big relief after illegals is student loan debt. Not to talk too much shit as it's needed, but big surprise, what do most students do? Sit on their ass and don't contribute shit. Let us play the trumpets for getting us back out there.

Election interference seems to only occur when it's the person you don't want to win. Convenient!

The same people raging about staying at home are the same people raging about Trump putting a temporary ban on immigration.

Leftism hypocrisy will never die.

Mansplaining is when someone tells you something you already know as though it’s news to you.

Why are people criticizing Trump for furloughing a bunch of his Mar-a-lago employees? I only saw a headline and cant watch videos at work. To me, that is not a bad thing. Even my work us doing it. They get to keep benefits, collect unemployment, and still have their job.

Not sure how it’s working there to be fair. But here that jeans getting government cash whilst retaining corporate benefits so would if the same be a conflict of interest and independence threat. Though at this point worrying Trump is unethical is like worrying water is wet.

their algorithm seems to flag and remove, or de-monetize, anything political or current events-y.

Nope. Only independent journalism, especially conservative-leaning. Twitter is arguably worse.
