Literally what I am doing. I’m past the point of caring about my career because I don’t want the responsibility or stress for a couple dollars. I do my job, keep my head down, and don’t cause waves.
Imagine if he wins the election and is flat broke. He’ll auction off everything the US owns in exchange for a cut or finder’s fee. And let’s not pretend that the emoluments clause actually applies to any of elected leaders.

I still don’t get how all Israel’s decades of bullshit, funded and supported by Republican and Democrats, is all suddenly Biden’s fault. It sounds like an extremely complex foreign policy has been dumbed down to a simple phrase that can be regurgitated by simpletons. I realize it’s election season and Republican operators are out in droves, but I’m getting so tired of that stupid nickname that absolves everyone of complicity. It just shows how little people understand global policy.
Going way back in time, we had only a mainstream media—the Times and the Post and the Associated Press and the major networks. In the 1970s, after the famous Powell Memo, wealthy conservatives began funding their own media.

Absolving Republicans of all their nasty anti-democratic behavior is disgusting. Anyone voting for Trump is actively pursuing the downfall of America. Anyone who doesn’t vote at all deserves the blame too.
