30isthenew29 , to Politics in DeSantis calls for state investment manager to consider action against Bud Light's parent company

Why would they interfere with a private company? If Bud’s marketing doesn’t work, they will see it on their finances and will then change to not go bankrupt. Why do politicians even care about beer rather than to regulate? Just do politics already!

Because DeSantis’ MO is to weaponize the government against those that disagree with him.

Much like Disney, AB has contributed to the Republican coffers while not towing the Republican social stance.

So weird how that’s legal in the U.S. to have that conflict of interest. So blatant.

They’re not going to vote against their own interests.

Prediction:
Giuliani flips on Trump, Trump goes down, Giuliani paints himself as a hero and speedruns for election.

Good luck getting Republican support after turning on their strongman leader

This... This is an ad. This is literally a recruitment ad for Russian defectors disguised as a common article in CNN.

Lede very much unburied(exhumed?):

“Disaffection creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for us,” said CIA Director Bill Burns last year during a speech in the United Kingdom. “We’re very much open for business.”

“That business is the exchange of information that the asset or agent would provide for something that they want,” said David McCloskey, former CIA officer and author of Moscow X. “We want people who have some sense of what [Russian] leaders’ priorities are – what they’re trying to accomplish.”

"Suspected" is American language for no hard evidence. The Americans are so eager to fire sanctions, evidence does not really matter. On the other hand, Israel is either committing mass murder or genocide, whatever you want to call it. What Americans believe is evidence is penal labor, which is a legitimate punishment as much as prisoners making state license plates. Chinese actually punish their criminals and discipline their citizens for bad behavior. Unlike the American justice system that treat their hardened criminals gently and humanely as possible as to not cause duress or discomfort. The stereotypical American criminal has a decade long rap sheet of crimes. American death penalty is so rare, you're more likely going to die from a car crash than being on death row. If they land death row, they spend decades living their lives reflecting on the good times. That is the incompetent American justice system. Their justice system is so bad, they have no idea what to do to lower crime other than don't prosecute crime. Look how El Salvador is made safe by leaps and bounds that the current leader has an 80-90 percent approval. G.I. Joe is lucky if he reaches 45%. That is competent leadership.

The fuck? Sorry your here telling us that the American prison system is too soft? And that the treatment of r Uygher minority is justified actually?

It's actually a bad thing that slavery exists. Letting people use slave labor from the prison population creates an economic incentive to imprison innocent people.

Hawley doing something not awful? Has hell frozen over?

He knows the bill is dead in the water. No way he'd support something sensible that had a chance of ever seeing bidens desk
