(1,480 posts)When I read the true causes, I felt more pity for him. For someone of such brilliance to feel his mind going like that must have been horrendous.

(6,419 posts)Trump's not at the center of this wheel. He knows what Vlad wants him to know. And Lindsey knows what Vlad wants Lindsey to know. But there's no way Trump or Lindsey have access to the details on the other...just that they're beholden to the same master.

Volaris
(10,281 posts)(but only if that president was white (maybe))
If Obama had declared healthcare a National Emergency, he'd STILL be swinging from gallows erected in the well of the Senate.

Pumped for the next Democratic president to use emergency powers for a Green New Deal (climate emergency), Medicare for All (public health emergency), and a new Voting Rights Act (democracy emergency)!

(1,584 posts)"An example is Len Blavatnik, a dual U.S.-U.K. citizen and one of the largest donors to GOP political action committees in the 2015-16 election cycle. Blavatnik's family emigrated to the U.S. in the late '70s from the U.S.S.R. and he returned to Russia when the Soviet Union began to collapse in the late '80s.
Data from the Federal Election Commission show that Blavatnik's campaign contributions dating back to 2009-10 were fairly balanced across party lines and relatively modest for a billionaire. During that season he contributed $53,400. His contributions increased to $135,552 in 2011-12 and to $273,600 in 2013-14, still bipartisan.
In 2015-16, everything changed. Blavatnik's political contributions soared and made a hard right turn as he pumped $6.35 million into GOP political action committees, with millions of dollars going to top Republican leaders including Sens. Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham."

The blue wave and the House are the only wedges we have to separate Putin from control.
