most” of the money comes back to US politicians, and that is obviously false. But a lot does.

How much? To whom? From whom? How is it money laundering? What form do the remittances take? Is it cash, wire transfers, bitcoin, gold bars, etc?

I'm asking if you know something about this.... or if you're just repeating things you read on an internet forum somewhere?

frick, you’re full on retarded.

This is exactly why things like the McCain Institute and Clinton Foundation exist. The money flows from the State Department back to them. I think it was GumboPot who explained this is why the MIC went nuts when Trump sent javelins directly to Ukraine. He cut out all the middle men BS involved with State Dept funding by doing that.

Anyway, I am proud to see Trump and his supporters standing with the people of Gaza against the genocidal maniacs.

You're anti Israel and pro Russian? Wtf is wrong with you

A Jew once insulted a buddy of his. He's been crying about it ever since.

I'm mostly stirring the pot, but it has been interesting to watch the alt media and MAGA (allied on most issues the last few years) finally fracture over Israel.

The whole situation is a shiteshow and I don't know that Trump would have made things any better than Biden by acting tougher.

It's perfectly summed up by Michael Crichton

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

That is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. I'd point out it does not operate in other arenas of life. In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything they say. In court, there is the legal doctrine of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means untruthful in one part, untruthful in all. But when it comes to the media, we believe against evidence that it is probably worth our time to read other parts of the paper. When, in fact, it almost certainly isn't. The only possible explanation for our behavior is amnesia.

So weird to go to the Poli board and read them cheering on Israel and saying we should be bombing Iran and intercepting missiles with our own jets.

While at the same time its: "not one more cent for Ukraine, it's a big money laundering scheme!"

Like: who knows how to exert political pressure through back door financial dealings? The hapless Ukrainians who have been mired behind the iron curtain for 80 years..... or the Jews???

I don't disagree. I think it's fine to be critical of Biden for the lead up to Ukraine but this was out of everyone's hands

This exact situation happened to us with Trump in office. Like this exact situation

Just curious, bit why does someone's presidential preference have to align perfectly with their own
