These foreign-run accounts are following the best practices of disinfo:

"Why the F is ____ saying that?" is the most common complaint inside.

"Why did Leader tell _____ to say that?" is the most common complaint outside.

I can't emphasize this enough, electeds say and do whatever the hell they want and it's a nightmare for people who try to strategize

No, that's why he was so successful at predation. Successful child predators pass as respectable so they are protected by the squares. See also, Joe Paterno.

That's because the cave caucus is six people. Angus King said the shutdown wouldn't work back in September and kept saying it throughout and said it again yesterday, because Angus King doesn't believe it worked.

I really like Mamdani's skills and think there's much to learn, but we should still be cautious because this was New York and he was running against Cuomo in his Batman villain phase and Sliwa who somehow was not a Batman villain in comparison.
