At this point X is like 1950s Vienna, a whole place made up entirely of spies, running ops against other spies, with no non-spy people. Or maybe like a 1971 Black Panthers convention where 3/4 of the attendees are conintelrpo.

Some people thought she was a bad choice for VP for this reason, among many others*

Replacing a black woman with a white man would have massively depressed base turnout.
Biden really should have thought about this when selecting her as running mate.

Yes, you can definitely save money at Walmart. If the high price of coffee (I swear it's up 40%) has you thinking of alternatives, you should try the Great Value brand coffee. It tastes a bit like how I imagine boiled dirt would taste, but it's much cheaper than McCafé (my fav) brand coffee.

New Republican talking point- Going after paedophiles only appeals to the far left.
Barrasso: "What I know is that Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted sex offender and he is dead, and President Trump threw him out of Mar-a-Lago 21 years ago. To me what's going on with Epstein is this is the Democrats trying to appeal to their far-left base and trying to change the topic."

The only person in American politics who is actually forcing companies to hand over ownership shares to the government is Donald J Trump.
